Why I Chose XanGo
Doug Wead in Russia
An interview with former presidential adviser and New York Times bestselling author, Doug Wead.
Why did you get into XanGo?
A good friend of mine joined. He was older and I doubted that he had the will to start over again, but he was quickly making more money than me. Within three years he was making huge amounts of money without big crowds of people.
I watched others and soon concluded that you can make more money, with less work, in less time and even with fewer people, in XanGo than in any networking opportunity that I had seen.
Why? What do they do differently?
Ha, it took me three years to figure that out. Basically, there are two reasons.
One, their products have a compelling narrative or story that makes them sell. This takes the burden off of selling which, in any company, is where all the money comes from. And the science and experiences with their products hold up, unlike one of their competitors.
Second, they have the best compensation plan in network marketing. It has a huge payout and it is balanced so that the money is within reach for the average person. It has no breakage, they don’t cheat it by assigning products lower PV and it basically rewards what is going to happen.
This is a dream plan.
Why didn’t you go to one of the other companies?
When word got out that I was “looking,” I was approached by dozens of companies and offered millions of dollars in bonus “sign up” fees. I was upset by that. I had written several books on networking and they wanted to trade on that.
But I am not interested in standing on a stage and talking about something that won’t really work. I have always believed that if an opportunity doesn’t work for the average person, it will eventually stop working for everybody else.
And some companies change. They start out as good opportunities but change the rules.
How can you know what a company will do?
My first test is “payout.” What is the payout of a company? What are they really giving back to their people?
What does that mean, “payout?”
The payout is the percentage of money from sales income that the company gives back to their distributors in bonuses in their compensation plan.
And why is it so important?
Because it shows how the company really feels about its distributors. And what you can expect from the company in the future.
Company leaders can say how much they love their people and how they want their distributors to succeed and have their dreams come true but what percentage of the gross receipts do they actually give back?
And how does XanGo compare?
In my research, it is the best. 50%. Much of the information is actually on the public record. I have seen data online that is carefully referenced. And you can find it on this website.
Aren't there others at that rate?
Actually, two others claim that but one has bad science. Its products are constantly exposed on television as ineffective, which destroys a network. And why build with an ineffective product? The XanGo juice, for example, has an 85% efficacy in three months, which means that 85% of the people who use it find a health benefit.
And it turns out that the same company had hidden "breakage," which some of its top distributors are now furious about. And it is a binary, which kills it for the average person.
The other one claims a higher payout but it deceives its own distributors. They assign a "point value" to most of their products and this PV is dramatically less than the sale price of the product. So they payout their percent on the PV, not the sales price. To me that is even worse than companies who have a low payout and don't even deny it. Because in this case the company is claiming a higher payout and hiding the truth. I have no time for that.
So, you chose XanGo?
I studied them all. And I chose XanGo, the Lamborghini of networking. As one of our founder's Joe Morton says, "In XanGo you are safe to dream again."
