Pearlcium is designed with a Network Marketing compensation plan which is a forced matrix 3 x 9 levels in depth. It pays a basic percentage on active Business Volume with several different levels of qualifications to reap the benefits of the entire payplan. It takes a diligent effort on the part of any Network Marketer to be successful in Pearlcium.
I found it very challenging to make more than a hundred dollars a month without more than 30 distributors in my organization; but then again...I never wanted to build an MLM empire again with any company I just wanted to pay for my own product and be able to educate and inform the distributors about the health benefits of the Pearl Powder as a nutritional supplement.
I certainly accomplished my goal after a year of sharing information on the Conference Calls and on the blog and in my email messages, as well as during Pearl Parties and special meetings. People came to value the quality of the product and understand its place in Regeneration and Longevity.
However, Dr. Rulin insists upon distributors taking an active role in building their downlines and she withdrew my Honorary Founder's position without warning in August. I think that this may be viewed and ruled as illegal by an Attorney General, but at this point in time it is worthless for me to pursue any legal attempt to force Pearlcium to reinstate my Honorary Founder status and the single share of the monthly Founder's Bonus which amounts to a measly $50. The Pearlcium business is NOT viable as far as it goes at this moment in time in my humble and experienced opinion.
You cannot expect to become a millionaire without five to ten years of hard work promoting Pearlcium. If you want to make $10,000 a month, you are going to have to purchase Leads and spend a small fortune on marketing online and in your local community. This is a hard sell for most people. You are in a position of having to give a lot of background information about pearls and that humans can consume them. That fact evades most people in the Western World.
You can pay for your product and your basic business expenses with a modest amount of effort on a daily basis. Even the top earners in Pearlcium are moving over to a new MLM company which opened its doors last week...MyHarvestAmerica. So this is already creating a lot of attrition within the ranks of Pearlcium distributors. Most of my downline who ordered on AutoShip have canceled their orders and only order occasionally, if at all. They are displeased with the management and the direction that the company is choosing these days. They are dissatisfied with the addition of boring weight loss products and colon cleansers. They liked the uniqueness of pearl, even if it requires a long learning curve. I had my downline leave for MLM programs like DuBli and CieAura.
Even my upline and those who I considered Leaders have basically given up on the future of Pearlcium and have joined other programs, promoted other programs to their downlines, and have lost interest in Pearlcium. The distributors in my upline who were disgusted with the lack of training and management from corporate have now gone gun-ho for MyHarvestAmerica and one other health MLM. I watched over the course of the last eight months while my upline and my downline disappeared, even though they experienced excellent results with the Pearl Powder.
I think that people should consider simply becoming Retail Customers on AutoShip to get a small discount. It is preferable to pay just under Retail and not waste any time or effort or money on trying to build the business, losing personal credibility with your Networking business partners. If the company follows through with the threat to charge a renewal fee for the new year, most everyone that I know will NOT pay it and will let their distributorships go. They will become Retail Customers, instead of paying a renewal fee that is uncommissionable and pointless. The websites are already paid for from our initial fee, so they can't sell us on that false premise. There are no real book-keeping changes that need to be made, it is all automated with the software that runs the database of distributors. This renewal fee alone could spell the end for hundreds of Pearlcium distributors who would not choose to pay an unnecessary fee.
Now...if anyone is holding out hope that Redmayne's Media Campaign is going to revitalize their business; don't hold your breath! So far nothing has come from its meager beginnings. Lots of promises...and no actual performance yet! I don't believe it will happen, but then again sometimes miracles occur. Bringing life with retail leads from the unprofessional video and/or landing page ad would be a miracle - of that I am convinced. Look at it and see for yourself... It's a poor excuse for a marketing tool.
One of my upline Leaders knows many strong Networkers in the field who come into new companies and they have all shied away from Pearlcium for many reasons. If you love pearls and you don't mind hard work for ten years; then this might just be the company business for your MLM career. I am going to tell you that there are better ways to build wealth in MLM. The administrative staff at Pearlcium do not have the technical or marketing expertise to use sophisticated online resources and methodologies yet. It's all outside their scope and their skill sets. They are nice people, but they are hardly MLM experts in any way, shape, or form. If you call them or visit the little office; they will help you graciously. As far as successfully building your MLM business, you are on your own. Good Luck!
Please become and remain a preferred Retail Customer with me and I will continue to assist you in learning more about the health benefits of Pearl Powder.
