Building a Home-Based Business with Integrity

President's Message: Building a Home-Based Business with Integrity
By Dallin Larsen, founder and president, MonaVie

Dear MonaVie,

Each week, thousands of individuals worldwide become members of the MonaVie family to experience our unique products and exceptional financial opportunity. With our extraordinary growth, we expect that MonaVie will continue to attract individuals looking to build a home-based business.

We believe in abundance—not scarcity—at MonaVie. At no time have we as a company targeted another direct selling company to influence their distributors to join us. In fact, many of MonaVie's top leaders have never been involved in direct selling prior to joining MonaVie. We are, in essence, increasing the circle of influence this amazing form of free enterprise has in today's society.

We recognize that for a number of reasons—including a product that can benefit everyone, exciting rewards and recognition, and a record of delivering on our promises—we will continue to attract people from other companies. However, we ask that no distributor purposely target another direct selling company, as this is not in harmony with the MonaVie culture. We have no desire to cause any harm or consternation to any company offering a home-based financial opportunity.

Recently, some individuals (previously with Quickstar/Amway) chose to join MonaVie. Once their respective non-compete agreements have expired, we will welcome them one at a time to the MonaVie family. All MonaVie distributors are required to abide by our Policies and Procedures. We ask that individuals who have non-compete obligations to another direct selling company honor those obligations. As a company, we are 100% committed to ensuring the long term success of MonaVie. At no time would any distributor, or group of distributors, be allowed to circumvent our Policies and Procedures.

As evidence of how strongly we feel about our commitment to operate with the highest level of integrity, we've recently altered our online application. We now ask each new MonaVie distributor to verify that, by joining us, they are not violating the Policies and Procedures of any other direct selling company with whom they may currently be, or have previously been, affiliated.

Furthermore, we recognize that some of the individuals joining us from Quickstar/Amway will have specific ideas for a business building system. These distributors will be treated as would any other distributor: If and when any of these individuals reaches the rank of Black Diamond, or have a qualified Black Diamond sponsor, they will be allowed to submit their system for teaching and training their MonaVie distributors to our Compliance department. Pending approval from the MonaVie Compliance department, they will receive an independent seal of approval.

Each MonaVie distributor is free to follow any training system approved by the MonaVie Compliance department; however, I strongly encourage all distributors to follow the approved system provided by their line of sponsorship. It is inappropriate for any distributor to entice another MonaVie distributor to switch from one business building system to another. Likewise, it is inappropriate—and against our policies—for a distributor to entice another distributor to switch lines of sponsorship.

Finally, we have grown as a company because of the trust we have built with our employees, vendors, and, most importantly, with you, our valued distributors. If for whatever reason, any MonaVie distributor ever feels they would be better served by pursuing another financial opportunity, we would wish them Godspeed and simply hope that they would continue experiencing the health enhancing benefits of our products. And, should the opportunity ever arise, we would welcome them back with open arms to once again pursue their financial dreams through MonaVie.

Warmest regards,

Dallin A. Larsen
Founder and President, MonaVie
