Nu Skin's solid credibility with its reputable partners

There are a lot of reasons in choosing Nu Skin as the business opportunity for you. These may be to look younger, more beautiful, and healthier; to obtain financial freedom, time freedom, and attain a sense of achievement; to help others find success, build a legacy for you and family—a fair platform that you can use to achieve whatever goal and dream you may have in life.

Amongst them, here are the main reasons why you should choose Nu Skin: 1. Nu Skin is way ahead of competitors. Their competitive advantage starts from its uniqueness, innovativeness and quest for constant improvement. “Difference Demonstrated” has been the Company’s direction and slogan. And Nu Skin actually walks the talk.

Did you know that they have more than 75 in-house scientists, three research centers, aside from collaborations with leading scientific experts, all of whom are focused on bringing the most comprehensive and innovative anti-aging products in the industry? Their quality process enables to identify, validate, and manufacture the most effective and safest products.

Over the years, Nu Skin has partnered with scientific institutions around the world to research and develop cutting-edge products. Most notable among these is Nu Skin’s key research partnerships with Stanford University and LifeGen Technologies that provide the company with proprietary technologies to further enhance our tradition of innovation.

Nu Skin has worked with Stanford University since 1999 and they collaborate on studies dealing with anti-aging, developmental biology, and dermatological research that supports the company’s unique anti-aging strategy to target the sources of aging. More specifically, the relationship with Stanford gives Nu Skin scientists the opportunity to collaborate with scientists with notable credentials for basic and applied research dealing with how skin ages. These insights are translated from basic science into human application which provide additional opportunities to publish and present scientific papers.

Nu Skin is also the only direct selling company to partner with LifeGen Technologies, a company backed by over 30 years of expertise in methods for extending life, and whose founders have published more than 200 scientific papers. The exclusive partnership with LifeGen Technologies gives Nu Skin access to more than 30 years of research into the genetic basis of aging. LifeGen’s pioneering research combined with Nu Skin’s ongoing research allows them to use this knowledge to develop innovative, proprietary products far into the future.

The pioneering research and insights by Nu Skin’s world-class team of scientists and these partners have changed how the world understands aging and will continue to revolutionize the nutrition and personal care industries.

Nu Skin Capitalizes in Anti-aging

Nu Skin is a highly misunderstood business here in the Philippines. Just the notion of "networking" or MLM immediately turn people off without knowing what the business truly aims for, or perhaps, what opportunity they really share to those who are willing to give it a try.

The Nu Skin business primarily capitalizes in aging, and exactly what does aging mean to you? To some, aging may mean a decline in productivity. It may also mean leisure and an enjoyable retirement life to others, or for youngsters, something far beyond their imagination. In any case, aging – at least chronicle aging – is not reversible, and most of us don’t want to lose the youthful skin and healthy body along in the process. So, what does aging mean to me? It is fundamentally a Business Opportunity.

Nu Skin is an anti-aging business and time is on your side. Imagine that you are the owner of the only highway into the city. Each and every car that enters the city must pay you a fee. Wouldn’t it be nice to just sit there and collect money when that is the only route? That is what the anti-aging business means because time is irreversible and it leads people into an aging process whether we like it or not. The market is driving itself onto you, instead of you finding it, developing it, and digging into it. In this case, time is on your side.

And when it comes to a business plan, Nu Skin offers the highest commission pay out amongst all listed network marketing companies. You have the maximum leverage power.

Nu Skin Philippines is about Leadership

Nu Skin enforces leadership both to its corporate structure and its distributors locally and globally. Regardless of what negative attacks are thrown at the company's distributors, Nu Skin management makes sure that the business is always done the right way. And just what these distributors are taught and encouraged to do? They network, discuss business building strategies, collaborate, communicate, and develop personal relationships based on a common interest, success in Nu Skin business as their own.

In this global industry, distributors are surely driven (like in any business) to meet a lot of people. Being an effective leader is a function of whether our values, our intentions, and our actions merit the trust of others. While knowing (a function of competency) and doing (a function of execution) are important, the latter of the two traits is irrelevant if it is performed on a platform void of character. And the real magic happens when a company finds itself in a position to benefit from the value of all three characteristics: values-based leadership combined with high levels of competency, and excellence in execution for an efficient position in the marketplace. This is what distributors of Nu Skin do, and what they aim for. They are leaders who play the fluid nature of the industry in a levelled playing field, they are not out to scam, nor to deceive. They do what all good business leaders shoot for.

Nu Skin Proves Benefits of Positive Corporate Culture

I've worked with this company for several years now, and one of the most outstanding aspects of the Nu Skin success story are the people who are committed to making a difference. These are none other than the Nu Skin employees who foster our giving culture, which promotes loyalty, integrity, innovation, and optimistic work environment. From the newest hire to the company’s founders, Nu Skin employees demonstrate their difference every day by demonstrating themselves to be the force for good culture.

In the media news, last December 2010, Utah Business Magazine named Nu Skin as a “Best Company to Work For” in the larger company category; for two consecutive years now. Nu Skin was highlighted for its generous employee benefits and its uplifting, enriching culture that unites its worldwide employee and workforce.

Here in the Philippines, Nu Skin sponsors feeding programs in various depressed areas in the country through Feed the Children Philippines. Armed with VitaMeal donated by distributors (the people who actually call and "invite" you for the business opportunity), the condition of malnourished children is addressed through the feeding program. The company goes hand in hand with its distributors in continuously raising funds to help support children under CHILD Foundation who suffer from heart ailments. Aside from helping support their heart operation, Nu Skin also helps raise funds to purchase equipment needed by the young patients.

The corporate ethics of Nu Skin, and Nu Skin Philippines for that matter, surpasses any industry practice its competitors in the field may do. Not only are good ethics and business practices expected from their distributors, but also from the management and employees themselves. Beyond expected, it is enforced and demonstrated at any given time.

Just Why it Pays in trusting Nu Skin

In 2010, Nu Skin had staggering revenues of US$1.53 billion globally. This is a company that believes the payoff to their direct sellers should always be huge. And fact is, Nu Skin leaders envision the company to be “the most successful direct-selling business in the world by paying more commissions than any other company.”

If you really must know, Nu Skin pays as much as a 43-percent commission to its distributors worldwide. In fact, in 2009 alone, the company paid its many business partners a total of $551 million for all their direct-selling work well done. And in the Philippines, it is reported that as much as P1 billion has already been paid out to about 7,000 distributors in the country since Nu Skin started its operations here in 1998.

Suffice to say, when you’re a Nu Skin “business partner,” Nu Skin believes that becoming a millionaire can readily happen. The rewards that money can buy can be all yours and more. In fact, Nu Skin distributors really get more with what they are able to accomplish in their personal lives beyond just growing their own business. After all, these direct sellers get a hold of some of the best skincare and healthcare products in the world, which they also try and enjoy for themselves. A win-win situation entirely.

Nu Skin's "Pasko ng Pag-asa, Handog ng Nu Skin Kapamilya”

15th Floor Octagon Building, Nu Skin Philippines, is actually more than just doing business and selling products. Through their various goodwill projects, their non-profit/charitable foundation called Force for Good, they have partnered with other charitable organizations and successfully engineered various fund-raising charities through the years. This December, Nu Skin Philippines held "Pasko ng Pag-asa, Handog ng Nu Skin Kapamilya”, a fund-raising luncheon project under Nu Skin’s Force For Good (FFG) Program, for the benefit of the children of Child Health in Life and Development Foundation (CHILD) Foundation who need heart operation.

Distributors, Nu Skin's sales and Marketing Arm and the ones who actually "contact" you to present the business opportunity, supported this cause and bought tickets to a benefit luncheon where they had lunch with the children and got a chance to interact with them. Fifty (50) children with different heart ailments attended the event with their parents. The event also served as an early Christmas party for the children as they were entertained by a ventriloquist/puppeteer and other kiddie programs. There was also a gift-giving portion where the kids received toys as Christmas gifts while their parents were given a pack of groceries for their Christmas dinner. During the program, CHILD Foundation was also awarded PhP 2, 000,000 by Nu Skin Philippines and the Southeast Asia Children’s Heart Fund to support the heart operation of 40 children.

And it’s not just a one-time project or an annual campaign; it’s actually an ongoing activity and avenue for their distributors to actually contribute to a very good cause. So now I found out they not just call and do business with people, they also do real business in helping save lives. Too good to be true? Perhaps. But indeed, they do. No scammer has actually made a contribution this serious to society, hasn’t it? We do not need to be actual geniuses to know the difference.

Nu Skin President South East Asia is awarded Best Asian Executive by International "Stevie" Awards

15th Floor Ocatgon Bldg houses Nu Skin Philippines, and just recently, Nu Skin President of the Southeast Asia Region Melisa Tantoco-Quijano was awarded Best Asian Executive by the 2010 International Stevie Awards for Women in Business. To emphasize, the particular awards recognize the accomplishments of outstanding women executives, business owners and the organizations they run. Under Melisa’s leadership, the Southeast Asian region has become a center of Nu Skin and is currently the fastest growing region for the company. This also exemplifies the Nu Skin culture through Quijano's unyielding commitment to supporting local sales leaders, as well as her long-standing dedication to the Southeast Asia Children's Heart Fund. Overseeing six countries, more than 300 employees and nearly 4,000 executive distributors, Quijano led Southeast Asia to a strong year in 2009, generating $109 million in revenue. In addition to her sharp business acumen, Quijano also serves as an honorary board member of the Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Foundation of Thailand, a board member of the CHILD Foundation in the Philippines and board member of the Southeast Asia Children's Heart Fund.

This company humbly presents the fact that more than 1,200 nominations were submitted to the International Stevie Awards for Women in Business this year, and such recognition of a Filipino industry leader can't prove enough Nu Skin's genuine dedication and commitment to its core values. Many people remain skeptic about this company despite the facts, but one can just wonder why. Research is key. Credibility is key. Facts change the rules of the game. So here is the research. Here is the credibility. Think and see for yourself.

Real People achieve real success in Nu Skin. No Hocus-pocus and short term achievements

15th floor Octagon building has been a subject of urban “myths” nowadays. ”Myths” that evolved to various stories on its own by different sorts of people and mindsets. To its detractors and illegitimate business counterparts, there are also myths that are promised but are not supported by actual results: Success. Valid and genuine success. Many multi level marketing companies promise immediate success to its distributors, often times giving them false hopes. More often, its successful members attain (not achieve) their successful status not through genuine work, but through manipulation, therefore attaining successes that are short-lived. Nu Skin Philippines however, with offices in 15th floor Octagon Building, has produced genuine successful business executives purely on legitimate and valid hard work and perseverance. They are called their Blue Diamonds, and they are not called as such for nothing.

Blue Diamonds are the rarest form of diamonds and it is evolved through the test of time, hammered by challenging climates, and formed out of the ordinary to be extraordinary. Nu Skin’s Blue Diamonds are explicitly described as its direct equivalent in the business. They are the cream of the crop, the achievers who stand out, surviving the challenging climates and test of time. They did the business exceptionally through hard work, and best of all, they are ordinary people who became extraordinary in what they do and how they live, because they have decided to.

Genuine Success in Nu Skin Philippines

Nu Skin Philippines brings genuine success to its distributors in more than a decade, proving the company's legitimacy and credibility to the industry. At the forefront of Nu Skin's success are their Blue Diamonds and they are people that Nu Skin brands who demonstrate enthusiasm – constantly. Inspiring leaders who have an abundance of passion for what they do. You cannot inspire unless you’re inspired yourself. Period. Passion is something that cannot be taught. You either have passion for your message or you don’t, and these people legitimately earned all these. They are leaders among already emerging leaders, and inspiring leaders tell memorable stories. There exist hundreds of Blue Diamond testimonies around the world, but most importantly, inspiring and compelling tales have also taken place here in the Philippines. Ordinary and relatable people, average Joes, students, even those with physical disabilities, have not hindered their road to genuine success. I have witnessed during my time with this company, how an ordinary farmer from Quezon struggling with a new family was able to ultimately achieve tremendous success in what before seemed to be impossible. His problems were real, that became subjects of his drive, and therefore his eventual success was real. He never resolved to take shrewd means to an end, only real hard work, motivation, and the promise and opportunity of a company, doing the real business in 15th floor Octagon Building. They are real people like you and me. Young people who became self-made millionaires at the tender age of 25 – 30, people living in poverty and tragedy who successfully changed their lives and the lives of the people they love.

Why Do they Call You?

The Answer in plain view, and the fact behind the assumptions when somebody from 15th floor Octagon bldg calls you in the middle of the day. They say they are seeking business partners, a few motivated and entrepreneurial people with open minds who are serious about achieving an income and lifestyle that most people only dream about. Actually, it's not a lie. Believe it or not, that is the plain truth behind it.

There are no requirements for a specific business, nor a sales background is needed. The company, Nu Skin Philippines, has developed new systems and technology that enable focused men and women, not just sales people to enjoy the benefits of entrepreneurship while avoiding the downside risks.

Take time to investigate, find out why these men and women bother to talk to you, instead of ranting about it. Find out how you can affiliate yourself with an elite group of professionals with a proven plan of action. Find out if you qualify: that's the only key principle behind these "invites" and calls from people at the 15th floor Octagon bldg.

15th Floor Octagon Building - the real ethics practiced by the company

What's in 15th Floor Octagon Bldg is Nu Skin Enterprises Philippines office and is already in the 12th year in the industry. 12 years for a multinational company is a pretty hard record to beat for something to be labeled as a “scam”, particularly here in the Philippines. Nu Skin Philippines is operating at the 15th Floor Octagon Bldg, in Ortigas Center, Pasig City. A subject of negative allegations and false speculations, Nu Skin Philippines actually carry 12 years worth of success in the following principle they practice. One of the principal ways that Nu Skin demonstrates its difference is through high-caliber people. This includes the global network of nearly 800,000 active distributors. The corporate office encourages their distributors to not only strive for continued growth in their business pursuits, but also in every aspect of their lives. When they say “encourage distributors”, it means to constantly look for ways to grow and develop, they become the kind of leaders who can overcome hurdles, inspire others and enjoy success.

That’s why, from the moment Nu Skin started, the central mission has been to improve people’s lives. Everything they do—from scientifically substantiated products to unique corporate culture and dynamic business opportunity—is meant to empower people to improve life for themselves and those around them. This focus on personal development has always been, and will always be, vital to their growth as a company. Simply implying, that the corporate is responsible for their distributors and that they would not risk such position in the industry in trade for deceit and scam.

Nu Skin's Sincere Beginnings

From its founding 25 years ago, Nu Skin Enterprises’ mission has been to improve people’s lives—through quality products, rewarding business opportunities, and an uplifting and enriching culture. In their non-profit Force For Good Foundation alone, Nu Skin has demonstrated how they were able to achieve this mission of improving lives in a global scale. Twenty five (25) years of hard and credible work didn’t take over night, and they’ve started from humble beginnings:

In a 1993 convention speech, Blake Roney, chairman and co-founder of Nu Skin Enterprises, used the phrase “force for good” as he shared his vision of how he wanted the company, its distributors, and employees to be known around the world. This phrase articulated the company’s values and has become the central theme of the company’s overall mission and philanthropic efforts. The original“force for good” campaign was introduced in conjunction with the Nu Skin Epoch® product line in 1996. This unique brand of skin and hair care products was developed in partnership with the world’s leading ethnobotanists—scientists who study the relationship between plants and indigenous cultures. A donation of 25 cents from the sale of each Epoch product is directed to preserve the environments, languages, lifestyles, and traditions of indigenous people around the world.

Not long after, Nu Skin Enterprises saw the need to formalize its philanthropic endeavors by creating an official foundation. The Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation was chartered to emphasize support for children, and continued to be funded from Nu Skin Epoch product donations. The Foundation is committed to making a difference for thousands, if not millions, of children for generations to come.

For the last 25 years, I believe Nu Skin proved their credibility to the world time and again, and I see no point why Filipinos would doubt them simply because of misinformation, often times, misunderstanding and misjudgment. Many are quick to be cynical by reading negative qualms, but how many truly looked the other way? By openly looking for the real facts, that Nu Skin is a legitimate and credible business for the past 25 years.

Nu Skin continues its humanitarian efforts

15th Floor Octagon Building, Nu Skin Philippines, is really more than business and products. through their non-profit/charitable foundation called Force for Good, they have partnered with other charitable organizations and successfully engineered various projects through the years. Last year, they supported the operations of 18 children from PGH in partnership with Child Health in Life Development Foundation – C.H.I.L.D. Foundation. Also this year, through Nu Skin's Force For Good Initiative, they donated the 2-Dimensional Echocardiogram machine for Philippine General Hospital’s Department of Pediatric Cardiology, costing P1.8M. while still continuing to support heart operations of kids for 2010.

Last September 28, 2009 when Metro Manila and the rest of the country got hit with "Ondoy", Nu Skin Enterprises Philippines initiated a donation drive from staff and distributors to help the victims. Through many people's generosity, they were able to gather close to P200,000.00 of monetary donations and was matched by the company. It also includes donations of clothes, canned goods, noodles and biscuits and assorted shoes, slippers, towels and bags.

And where did all these "Ondoy" Relief goods went?

TUMANA, MARIKINA - An area in Marikina that was drenched with mud and water caused by "Ondoy". Last October 2, Nu Skin staff delivered and handed over the goods to its 75 families. Victims expressed their deepest appreciation with a smile. No scammer has actually made a contribution this serious to society, hasn’t it? We do not need to be actual geniuses to know the difference.

  

What sets Nu Skin apart?

Nu Skin (or Nu Skin Philippines for this matter) is simply a vehicle for one to achieve two essential Freedoms: Time & Financial. The kind of freedom that is available to everybody, but somehow restricted to those who are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve it. Nu Skin offers one the chance, an opportunity, to make a person's life better. As employment is another vehicle, so is business. So why should Nu Skin's practice of business be any different? because in this ever changing world, traditional business may not always be quite palatable. Traditional businesses would require 100% of one’s own effort whilst Nu Skin offers the opportunity to cope with the fast changing world and still take advantage of the world’s readily available market. Saturation would always be a looming discouragement in thought, but it is only applicable to those who believe that the world is flat, or at least to those who are skeptic to themselves, the company, the products or in the idea of innovation.

Nu Skin, operating locally in the Philippines at 15th Floor Octagon Bldg, Pasig, is far from a scam others have been throwing at. A company of this kind can’t go wrong in 48 markets.

Nu Skin implements 21 years old and above sign-up for its new members

Many say that Nu Skin accepts or sanctions members and distributors that are still in their teens. Truth is, company implements a strict 21 years old and above signing up. The independent Distributors are at the front-end of the business nature of Nu Skin and corporate management maintains a protocol that sees to it that its policies and procedures are professionally executed at all times. Sure, anybody and everybody can be an independent distributor of the company if they wished to, provided they present legal and valid requirements. These are rules by Nu Skin to make explicitly sure that new distributors do the business legitimately and professionally. They are trained to handle it as their personal businesses and to never elude to a scam-like manner. Company policies and procedures are strictly applied like any other companies and corporations worldwide, and above all they practice moral codes of both (personal and business) ethics that the company compulsory teaches each of their new Distributors if they are to be made the sales arms of the company. They are deliberately trained not to deceive both customers and prospective business partners, otherwise, the company will risk its credibility it has been maintaining.

Negative attacks are pointed towards the nature of 15th Flr. Octagon Bldg that interpret that the company is allegedly harboring under aged, teenagers, to do their business. Sure, there are a few rotten tomatoes out there that unfortunately do the business the wrong way, but Nu Skin does ways that these are dealt with accordingly. Such accusations are obviously present in the light of the negative stereotype that the Philippines view the network marketing business. It is unfortunate that some distributors put the company in a bad light, but the fact of it is that the company not only encourages its people to be professional, but requires it explicitly.
Nu Skin’s corporate management, trains and guides their distributors to do business the right and legitimate way. And they may be responsible for what their sales arm reflects upon them, but it is not fair enough to lay down verdict negatively towards it as a whole. That is my opinion, from what I have seen, experienced, and have personally done.

Nu Skin's 12th Anniversary coming up - Recognizing top leaders

Next month, Nu Skin Enterprises Philippines will be celebrating its12th Anniversary at PICC. This is also an annual event which they call as Success Seminars and they basically showcase and give recognition to their top leaders and achievers. These new leaders are fine examples of a more compelling and inspiring lot of successful journeys in Nu Skin here in the Philippines. But more than anything else, they are fellow Filipinos, real people with real motivation and dreams. And what is the greatest secret? They have the courage to look beyond circumstances and stay in the business. They are ordinary people inspired to do extraordinary things.

15th floor Octagon building has been a subject of urban “myths” nowadays. ”Myths” that evolved to various stories on its own by different sorts of people and mindsets. To its detractors and illegitimate business counterparts, there are also myths that are promise but are not supported by actual results: Success. Valid and genuine success. Many network marketing companies promise immediate success to its distributors, often times giving them false hopes. More often, its successful members attain (not achieve) their successful status not through genuine work, but through manipulation, therefore attaining successes that are short-lived.

Nu Skin and Skin care - what do they really do and say

Curious for facts about what kind of company does really operate at the 15th Floor Octagon Bldg or 26th Floor Trafalgar Plaza, that calls you or people you know and leaves you puzzled on what exactly do they do? It's Nu Skin Philippines. And Nu Skin means NUTRITION for the SKIN, simply. It started as a personal care company, and not as a cosmetic company. Basically, it is in the skincare business and they always make it a point that everybody is knowledgeable about their products. And by skin care, Nu Skin Philippines stresses the following ethics for both its customers and distributors. Understand that Nu Skin promotes not just beautiful skin but also long-term healthy skin. It is not intended to be a “quick fix” regimen. When people switch brands, reactions may be natural. A reaction is simply an initial response to beneficial ingredients; just as a meat eater would react to veggies in the beginning. For people who have used oil-based products that clog the pores, this may be a detoxification period to rid the skin of toxins and deep-seated dirt. Now, these are just quick tips on how the company involves itself in the skin care industry.

Some facts on how their distributors address skin issues for their customers before recommending or selling their products:

People who do the Nu Skin business, the distributors, are not dermatologists, and people with extreme conditions are always encouraged to consult physicians as they are not medicinal - only nutritional. They always ask for history of usage of other brands of skin care. People who have been using products containing hydroquinone, antibiotics and steroids should rest their skin for 3-4 weeks before they can use any Nu Skin product for their face.

They never fail to ask if they had recently undergone dermabrasion or other skin peeling treatments (these treatments drastically lower the skin’s natural immunity and will make the skin super-sensitive). They always identify the skin type of their clients since not all products are suitable to all skin types. Nu Skin products are highly concentrated with no fillers, therefore, a small amount is all you need for the entire face (pea size). Too much may be too rich in a humid environment.

This is how detailed and meticulous they are in managing their brands, products, and credibility. Many people misunderstand the Nu Skin business as either a scam or a bogus skin care line of products. But always, by facts and real client / customer testimonials, are proven otherwise.

Real People and Service behind 15th Floor Octagon Bldg

Admittedly, people do get ‘wrongly invited’ and/or “persuaded” by those working in at 15th flr. Octagon Bldg in Ortigas Center, Pasig City, that almost likely seems to generate negative perception towards not only to those who experience such unfortunate undertakings, but eventually to the company itself which is Nu Skin Enterprises Philippines, Inc. The company, in fairness but not in its biased defense, never did deny the fact that they are a network marketing/direct selling company, nor did they ever solicit illegal ways and scams to communicate and treat their clients, customers, business partners, in ways that would deliberately discredit their more than 2 decades-long global operations. I know for a fact, because I have seen it, and have been part of it personally. My credibility as an individual may be vague by stating these things, but I would declare that my words on such matters are more than opinions, rather, a better judgment on a subject I personally see as a quite fair enough assessment based on not only factual information readily available, but also by the personal involvement I have experienced.

The independent Distributors are at the front-end of the business nature of Nu Skin, but rest assured, corporate management maintains protocols that sees to it that its policies and procedures are professionally executed at all times. Sure, anybody and everybody can be an independent distributor of the company if they wish to (providing legal and valid requirements), but trainings for its new distributors are conducted by the company itself or by international Nu Skin business leaders. These trainings are conducted for by Nu Skin to make explicitly sure that new distributors do the business legitimately and professionally. They are trained to handle it as their personal businesses and to never elude to a scam-like manner. Company policies and procedures are strictly applied like any other companies and corporations worldwide, and above all they practice moral codes of both (personal and business) ethics that the company compulsory teaches each of their new Distributors if they are to be made the sales arms of the company. They are deliberately trained not to deceive both customers and prospective business partners, otherwise, the company would be risking its credibility it has been maintaining (specially in a level of moral high ground). Not only does corporate involvement end after training its new distributors, but Account Managers are positioned closely and constantly to assist, monitor, and support active distributors. Not only do they provide support in the technical aspects of the business procedures, but they see to it that the business is done the right way and maintain professionalism in the field. Corporate Support is not limited to its distributors but also extends to customers’ needs and immediate concerns. And all these are done through a systematic standard operating procedure that is readily available virtually 24/7 and within the maximum use of current available technology.

Now this may all sound a hard sell and obvious defense of the company’s practices, but as I have stated, I am making such judgments because I have personally witnessed it. Negative attacks are pointed towards the nature of 15th Flr Octagon Bldg that interpret that the company is allegedly soliciting unprofessional ways of ‘inviting’ and scamming random people. Sure, there are a few rotten tomatoes out there that unfortunately do the business the wrong way, but Nu Skin does ways that these are dealt with accordingly. Such accusations are obviously present in the light of the negative stereotype that the Philippines view the MLM business. It is undeniable though, that other “ fly- by- night” companies do practice deceit and scam in exchange for short term sales, but Nu Skin and the caliber of business practice and products they have is definitely not part of it. It is unfortunate that some distributors put the company in a bad light, but the fact of it is that the company not only encourages its people to be professional, but requires it explicitly.

The sad matter is that, we are having these kinds of arguments, because of the people who did not give the chance to look at the business personally, and that some distributors’ unfortunate lapses in doing the business. But if one would be able to see it for themselves, at 15th flr. Octagon Bldg, Nu Skin’s head office and their primary Walk-in centers, people are greeted warmly there. The staffs are friendly, professional, and ready to assist and serve. They are real people, much like you and me, and it is always unfortunate that misunderstandings lead to negative judgments.
