Ron Williams is the President, CEO and Chairman of the Board. He comes from a background of two other MLM companies so he has a good background and a lot of knowledge in this field. They are a progressive company constantly working to make their company different and very attractive to people looking for a company with new ideas. They choose names that are catchy for their products. They have FrequenSea and ElectriFire as their two flagship products. But all their products have names like these. Their products are organic and full of healthful ingredients. They contain marine phytoplankton which they use extensively in their products.
Forever Green began in May of 2004. They were off to a great start. Whole Living and Forever Green International merged during the first quarter of 2007. The new management team set an ambitious goal of rapidly expanding their international presence in several new countries by the end of that year. Just three quarters later, Forever Green has accomplished this challenge by forging new operations or expanding existing models in several new countries, while continuing to report increased or positive net income. Forever Green now has operations in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, U.K., Germany, Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Japan. I am sure there will be more coming in soon.
The products that they have are ones of popularity and interest. FrequenSea contains Marine Phytoplankton, sea minerals, rose, cranberries, blueberries, amino acids, frankincense, astaxanthin, aloe vera, and rosemary antioxidant. Dr. Jerry Tennant says FrequenSea has everything you need to make a perfect healthy cell.
Their products that they sell are interesting as they name them catchy names. This is 100% pure marine phytoplankton and is supposed to be the most complete whole food product obtainable. It is very interesting to read their literature about this product.
FrequenSea and ElectriFire are two of their flagship products. Ones that are not mentioned as often is their skin care products called SecreSea. Since our skin is the largest organ of the body, it deserves to be treated with much tenderness and care. The products that they have are only five but all necessary products for a healthy skin. They have a Facial Scrub, PH Toner, Youth Serum, Hydrating Cream and a Mineral Mask. Each is given a catchy name. All contain 100 % pure phytoplankton which is suppose to be good for many things and is used extensively in their products.
The Surgeon General has said, we have been labeled the sickest generation of Americans ever, with the possibility of outliving our children. What’s more interesting to notice is that all of this is happening during the time of more prescription drugs than ever and more supplements than ever. Science has again confirmed it that can never compete with nature and that food works! There is an interesting concept that a carrot looks like an eye and is for the eyes? And a walnut looks like the brain and is brain food? Tomatoes and hearts… white grapes, red grapes, white blood cells and red blood cells… purely for the blood and heart. Nature in its whole form is nutritionally complex, so we don’t have to be. ForeverGreen state-of-the-art manufacturing facility makes and provide organic and/or clean whole-food snacks, breakfasts, lunches and dinners… tasty and convenient! Health is a habit, not an event. We should enjoy whole foods!
Forever Green provides a four point training plan for their new distributors. They want their distributors to be making the money they are looking for. They also want to move product into the hands of the people so good health can be maintained. They have Cutting Edge media leads that they can purchase which they can use to add distributors to their downline. They have other steps for following through to help as well.
I am not affiliated with this company but have read about it extensively and think it is well worth checking out. Their use of leads is much the same as most companies. It is a way that new distributors do not have to ask their friends, neighbors and relatives to partake in their business. Often when people turn to the people they know they end alienating them selves from the people that they know and love. It can be hurtful and disappointing to the new distributor. The Distributor is anxious to get their business growing so they go about it poorly. Leads would keep this from happening. I do have a business and I do not use leads. I instead buy customers. It is a great way to grow your business. I would encourage you to check it out.
I BUY CUSTOMERS. I DO NOT BUY LEADS. IT’S GOOD BUSINESS.
When your not buying leads, you save money. Leads is a distributors biggest expense. I Buy Customers. Customers cost money too but you are free to do many more things when you are not making calls all day to people you don’t know and they don’t know you. You rarely find them at home . They tell you to call back at a certain time and then they are not there. You often find yourself playing tag with them. You are often treated as a telemarketer and certainly not respected. They may hang up on you. Why would they do this when they have requested information on a home business or a way to make extra income? Often it is because they have already had a bunch of others calling them and they have already decided that they want nothing to do with any of it after finding out what they will have to do.
When buying customers I do not have to make calls. I buy my customers, and they buy products. I do not send it to them as the company sends out the product and they send me a commission check. I am free to do the things with family and friends and still have a thriving business and still make money.
There are other ways to contact people also. Social Networks are very popular and you can meet prospects there quite easily. If you should want to know more about this type of leads, you can contact me and I will be glad to tell you how it is done. Then you can introduce them to buying customers and making money.

Forever Green has excellent products.
I have been looking at Network Marketing companies for some time and have been involved with a number of companies myself. Some have been good and some have not been good. I believe Forever Green is a good company and is advancing in worthwhile products that will be helpful for ones health by using their products. I would encourage you to check out this company if interested in a nutritional network marketing business. These are some of my findings.
Ron Williams is the President, CEO and the Chairman of the board for Forever Green. He was with two other well known MLM companies before coming to Forever Green. He has a great deal of experience and has many other talents as well. He is a motivational speaker and an author. The Forever Green business is located in Orem Utah. The company has many products that are good for people and are enjoyed by their catchy names. FrequenSea and ElectriFire are two of their flagship products.
The creation of Forever Green began out of industry necessity. After a brief retirement, Ron Williams observed that the Network Marketing industry is arguably the fastest-growing industry in the world (approaching 50,000 people per day). Knowing that this industry is built upon the shoulders of everyday human beings like you and me, Mr. Williams saw an opportunity to set a standard that would change the perception from an industry of “takers” to an indiscriminate global community of “givers”. Mr. Williams believes that there is not a greater industry in the world to create change… even one person at a time.
The distributors are to allocate a portion of their time into helping some part of their community. They have a list of different areas in which they can choose to help. This is the way the distributors can give back. This is unusual for a company to lay out a plan like this. Most companies have a charity that they support and encourage their members to give a portion of their profits to help this cause or another of their choice. Forever Green does more that this. This is the way the members can be givers rather than just takers. I do not know if this mandatory.
Forever Green believes in producing products that are one of a kind and can not be duplicated. They have two products that are ones that are being featured now and have many health benefits but of course cannot make any claim on any cures. Nutritional product companies have to be very careful not to make claims, but can show testimonies of what people have given them from using their products. ElectriFire and FrequenSea are the two products they are featuring and very proud to have them in their company.
ElectriFire Ingredients:Organic or Clean, Safe and Natural, No Added Sugar. No Carbonation, Instantly Bioavailable, Promote General Health, Water Soluble from Nature, Complement Physical Activity and Proprietary and Exclusive Blends.
Forever Green makes no claims but gives the Potential Benefits: Mental Clarity, Vitality, Endurance. Happiness, Prolonged Energy, Performance, Magnifies Dreams and Residual Income.

There business is one that is put together essentially to make money. They pay out a large percentage of there profits to the members of Forever Green. They are growing fast and have put together a fine training program for their distributors. One of the ways they help their distributors in their training program is to offer Cutting Edge leads. For any business to grow, they have to have ways of selling their products. I have used many leads while being involved in MLM companies.
I have used many different companies and though each may profess to be the best or better than most, all have much of the same outcome. You can searh for them on Google. They are difficult to have success with using them. They usually provide a script for new distributors. The reason for the use of them of course is to be able to contact people who have signed up wanting to receive material on making money from home. They require being called and given the information you have to show them the benefits of being with your company and to sign up with your company so they too can make money.
What I have found over and over, is that these people you have as leads usually have had their names and information captured in a way that they were not aware of and they are not usually interested in hearing about your company or making money with your company or any other company. You call and rarely find them home or answering their phone if they are home. You come across as a telemarketer. They don’t know you and if you are able to talk with them, because you are a stranger to them they do not trust you.
So why would they want to sign up with you under those circumstances. You can build up a relationship with them if you have the chance. But first you must talk with them and then find a time that they have to talk with you. This makes it hard to build up a good relationship. Now all of this is, if you find them home to talk with. You may find one or two that will give you the time of day. But you are hopeful because you have paid good money for these names and you are sure there will be someone that is waiting to to talk with you.
Forever Green Leads are a huge and the largest expense you will have. They are not an easy way to build your business. There is not an easy way with any of the techniques that are out there. This is why I buy customers, not leads. It is good business.
I don’t have to make calls. I buy customers that want to buy products. I do not buy leads. When I get up in the morning, I do not dread having to make calls. I do not call my customers. I do not have to send products to them. The company sends out the products to my customers. I get a percentage of the sale. They deposit the money to my bank account. It is that easy. If you would like more information, just click on the link below. Or you may call me.

Forever Green is a great company.
The creation of Forever Green began out of an industry of necessity. After a brief retirement from another MLM company, Ron Williams observed that the Network Marketing industry is arguably the fastest-growing industry in the world (approaching 50,000 people per day).
Forever Green Company was launched in 2004! Forever Green is publicly traded and a debt-free company. Forever Green is an International company already doing business in more than 10 countries, which are U.S., Canada, Mexico, U.K., Germany, Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Japan. I am sure there will be more coming in soon. Forever Green is a company that stakes its future on timeless principles of health and humanity, and then trusting in its results. Forever Green is a way of being. Whether we are young, middle-aged or older, it is to embrace every second of every season of our lives, in a way that today’s ceiling is tomorrow’s ground floor. Always green. Always growing!
They have a compensation plan to provide for different levels of entry. An income that meets people where they are and lifts to a new place in life. Their compensation plan is a unilevel, maximized by building 4 legs. They have Fast Start and Matching Bonuses. They pay a large percentage of their profit to their distributors. Forever Green Corporation announced earnings for second quarter of 2007 ending June 30th had increased 700% quarter over quarter. It will be interesting to see what the June 30th, 2008 increase of earning will be. I have not seen a more recent reports of their earnings.
FrequenSea is one of the most popular flagship products that Forever Green has. It is made from Marine Phytoplankton. Marine Phytoplankton is used in many of their products. It is 400 times the energy of any known plant. You may know of it as the food whales live on. It is supposedly contains 200 sea vegetables. Marine Phytoplankton has a very interesting history.
ElectriFire is another flagship product. It is organic and it contains no sugar, carbonation and it is safe and its benefits are prolonged energy, mental clarity, vitality and much more. We would probably think of it as an energy drink. Not containing sugar is a benefit for many people who do not use sugar for health reasons.
Forever Green has a training program for the new distributor. They are proud of their mentoring and support program. Support is provided by two upline Rainmakers, which is the top position. Top Position directly above their business as their comp plan shows. They provide twice weekly live conference calls and provide full time coaching and support. They also encourage the use of leads and use Cutting Edge Leads media for this purpose. They have a 6 minute call that the distributor can use to capture their new person and are offered help from their upline for doing a 3-way call to help sign the prospect into their business.
Forever Green Leads are harder to work than is usually expected by a new person. They are a distributors biggest expense and have little return. You must call all of these people on the phone. Many will not be home -but when you finally get someone who answers the phone you may experience them being abusive because they don’t want to receive your call. The person answering the phone may have just got home from work. They are busy and have a lot to do.
They do not feel like carrying on a conversation with a stranger who is selling something they never asked for and does not want. Not a good situation for the person innocently calling trying to make a pitch for their business. This Forever Green Lead may have had many calls before and was getting exasperated with the timing and the pitch. After many unsuccessful calls with disinterested people, you are not really too excited about Forever Green leads. No training would have you prepared for this experience. This is a common scenario for people who are using Forever Green leads to build their business. There is a better way.
When buying customers you do not experience anything negative. You buy your customers and earn commission on their purchases. It is simple and rewarding. You have no negative experience. You don’t make any phone calls. You don’t have any one to yell at you or hang up on you. You don’t have to encourage a new person to buy Forever Green leads and know that they will have a negative experience just as you have had. You can treat your home business with a positive experience and become successful. IT’S GOOD BUSINESS.

Forever Green
Forever Green is one of the leading companies on GOOGLE.
Forever Green has been moving up the ladder in Network Marketing Companies. They are over four years old now and have a wide variety of Nutritional products that they have to build their business. They have expanded to 10 different countries and will probably be expanding to other countries soon.
Forever Green uses leads to build their business. They have Cutting Edge leads that their new distributors can buy for $1.99 to $2.13 each. That is a fairly low price for leads as leads can go to $10. or more each with many companies. Cutting Edge leads have different prices for other leads as well. The price is determined by how old a lead is. They may also be determined by special types of leads, such as, Nurses or all Woman etc.
Leads are a very big expense for a distributor. I have used many different kinds of leads, thinking one might be better than another. What I really found is occasionally you do find a lead company that has a little better lead. That is hard to determine because leads usually do not produce distributors. I have had very few customers come from them either.
When you get an order of leads, the object is to call the leads as quickly as possible. Often these leads will be sold a minimum of 3 times and supposedly all to different companies. I found that some leads had been sold to as many as ten different people. That makes chances of being able to even talk to them very slim. You have the best chance of course if you call them immediately when you get them. I have called leads morning, noon and night for several days and was often never able to reach them. That is very discouraging.
One company’s training advocated that you should make three calls, leaving a message each time you did not reach your lead. If you hadn’t reached them with three calls, throw them away. The message I left had my name and phone number, and I asked them to return the call. I had one out of about 50 return my call. It was not usually to show interest but to ask me to take their name off my list.
Leads are very expensive. They seem as though a small quantity is not so expensive but when you figure how much you spend in a year it is shocking. You end up buying oftener that once a month.
The real problem with leads is the way they were obtained by the lead company. I have talked with enough leads to know that most of the time the lead did not know they had filled out anything saying they were interested in a home business or that they wanted information on how to make money online. They usually thought they were trying to get something free and enticed by only that. That is not a good way to find a lead that is interested in anything.
I have been told there is no such thing as a bad lead. That is far from the truth. I would say that there is no such thing as a good lead, with very few exceptions.
Books have been written about how to work leads. Many different companies train on how to work leads. I think it is very deceiving, as they may find a way to talk them into something, but in a very short time that lead will quit as they did not want the business. That to me is trickery.
I do not buy leads any more. Instead I buy customers. There is all the difference in the world in these two transactions. With Buying Customers, you get someone that likes the product. They are not being deceived in that process. They will re-order when they are ready or out of their product. They are interested in the product and the company.
I am happy to have each customer and I can call them if I wish, though I seldom do because I don’t want them to think I am pressuring them. I appreciate them and they appreciate not being sold to or get a sales talk. I feel so much freedom in having customers and I highly recommend this method of building a business.
Forever Green thinks they have the answer for having a successful business and make it possible for many people to have better health. Their products are all products that will keep you healthy, if you already are, and get you healthy if you are not now healthy. This sounds like a win win plan. All of Forever Green’s products have your health in mind. Many of their products contain Marine Phytoplankton and they maintain that this ingredient will be the answer to health. Their source is excellent, their supply is endless, thus saying they have enough to supply the whole world.
Some of the favorite Forever Green products are FrequenSea and ElectriFire. These are two of their flagship products. But they have many more great products. One that is a bit unusual is 24-Karat Chocolate. I was surprised about this one as I have just about eliminated chocolate from my diet, even though it’s popularity has been in the news quit a bit. During the pre-launch of Forever Green in 2003, Ron Williams was out telling the world that chocolate is a fruit, it’s the number-one antioxidant in the food chain, and it’s the number-one craved food in the world.
Back then, the world thought they were crazy, but now they are beginning to see chocolate in the produce section of their local stores. Their 24-Karat Chocolate is organic, dark, and without the waxes, fine sugar, dairy, artificial flavors, etc. that are found in other commercial chocolates. It is guilt-free pleasurable health. “Theobroma Cacao” means Food of the Gods. Yes, Forever Green is the first company worldwide that brought chocolate back to the healthy place it deserves! Lots of companies have now followed and chocolate’s popularity has soared.
The indigenous cultures had it right. Why did they believe in signature foods? When you slice a carrot, it looks like an eye. Carrots are good for the eyes. A walnut is an exact replica of the brain… and it is brain food? A tomato resembles the heart and is good for a strong and healthy heart. The point is, health is a habit, not an event. A pleasurable experience. Maybe nature is complex so we don’t have to be. Trust in the timeless principles of nature.
Forever Green has a four step training plan. Their training plan is designed to help their new distributors. One of the training steps is telling the new distributor to buy leads. They endorse and use Cutting Edge media Leads. The cost of these leads are $1.99 to $2.13 each. The cost variance is determined by the number of leads you buy and the price is cheaper when you are buying more leads. What they do not mention is that you don’t just buy these leads once. You keep buying leads over and over. Some people just buy leads once a month and others buy them when ever they are needed. Leads are usually the largest expense that a distributor has.
When you’ve gone through your leads they are of no value. Wrong numbers are discarded. Leads that you can’t reach by phone are tried over and over, and eventually discarded. People who are rude and angry, you don’t want. Call backs are usually not there and a down the road lead for me has turned out to be, 99% of the time a no. It just takes some people longer to say no than others. I have heard enough excuses that I could write a book. The reading would be funny but very dull. I’m sure it would get a lot of yes nods from other Network Marketers.
You can get many different prices on leads. Some lead companies sell in large quantities and then tell you to break them into smaller packages, and sell them to your downline. I chose never to do that. I couldn’t imagine how they could legitimately get such a large quantity of leads and say they were fresh leads. Leads are also sold by different categories. They could be all Women or all Men, one day old or one week old or one month old. The prices of course are higher for the freshest leads. There are many lead companies out there that one can plug into so that they can become successful. I lost faith in lead companies as well as leads.
A large amount of the leads they buy will not be people they will sponsor. Many will not be at there phone waiting to be called and offered a way to become financially secure. They will not be looking for a company with wonderful products. If they answer their phone, chances are they will not be courteous or kind. Many will have just gotten home from work and they have little ones crying because they are tired and hungry. They want their parents attention and their needs met. There will be quite a few bad numbers as well. There will probably be some very rude people that dislike telemarketers and they are thinking that you are one. They also often deny they have ever asked for any information, so they say “you need to take me off your list” and they do not say that kindly.
So what to do. There are other ways that you can contact people. There is the 3 foot method. Anyone that is 3 feet from you, you ask what they do for a living, expecting that they will then ask you what you do. Then you can tell them about your business. Some people use flyers that they put on cars in parking lots. Others go door to door or hire someone to take information around door to door. They can also get business cards and leave them every where they go and put on every bulletin board. None of these ways are easy ways to make contacts with another person in hopes of getting them in your work from home opportunity.
