Joining The R4 Network

With the first-hand experience we had with the effectiveness of Plum Delite, Minda and I were quite excited to take a step further and join in the R4 Network that BWL prepared to help sell the product directly to customers here in Iloilo. The product delivers its promises, and would easily sell itself to the target market... everybody! I would like to think, "Forget the weight loss effect, consider the detoxifying capabilities. Everybody needs to detox and become healthy." But hey, what sells is the weight loss part of the deal, so who am I to complain? I just make sure that the buyers are all well-educated in the ins and outs of what they're buying. I made a Facebook page for this very reason... to sell, and inform at the same time. Check it out at https://www.facebook.com/plumdelitejaro.

The network works simple enough that anybody with a grade school education will grasp it easily. There's a buy-in to become a member... buy one (1) box, and you're in. It's that simple. But if you intend on selling it as a means of income, you can buy it at its base price and sell it for a universal mark-up price. Universal meaning, it's the same wherever you are in the archipelago. The shipping cost is a separate cost, and is only added tot he actual product. There are categories and stages of membership that you progress on as your sales grow. Not only that, it is also encouraged to let your customers sell to their friends and relatives too. A small percentage is credited to you whenever a sale is completed by people connected to you in the network. We started with a builder pack of six (6) boxes shipped to us by our upline, to test out the waters as they say and see how receptive people are to it.

Right now we're focused at creating a customer base that will help us spread the word on Plum Delite. Neither Minda nor I have any background in sales. We're relying on word of mouth and free advertising as of now and fortunately, people are contacting us left and right even with the limited advertising we have. Many are interested but since it's the Christmas season, many are reluctant to shell out money for it, and instead intend it for the coming feasts and gift-givings. It's understandable, given the culture does bear greater influence in decision making where funds are involved. But we are hopeful that this will pick up after the Christmas and New Year celebrations, and then we'll find out if this is indeed as promising a venture as it appears.
