Synergy One Global is an MLM
A friend of mine back in college days suddenly called me, he said the he is a business associate of an international US based company trying to establish a branch here in the in the Philippines. He said that they are looking for hardworking persons with goals and is willing to meet up for a business meeting at 15th Floor Octagon Center 41 San Miguel Avenue Ortigas Pasig, City he also said that he expects me to be a professional and wont back up on the last minute once i agreed. Being on the phone and understanding that explaining business details will take much time i just asked for the nature of the company and its name then agreed for the meeting. He said the business is virtual franchising and the name is Synergy One Global.
With this i searched the net for information about the company and here is what i found Blog about Synergy. Because of this i texted him back and said ill have to cancel the meeting because I’m not interested in MLM.
In not against MLM companies even but the way they are recruiting people is deceptive. Having people to come into a 2 hour business presentation that is actually a presentation of an overpriced item and a show of people who was said to be successful is a waste of time for some people, specially for those who don’t believe in such business model. How can we expect to believe these persons that will recruit us if can’t even say straightforward that they are in an MLM company and wants us to join? Why have multiple names of a single company?
hey man i came across your blog just recently, well basically what your friend told you wasnt deceptive at all, yes synergy 1 is an MLM, yes it is a multinational company, and yes it is virtual franchising because of the marketing system that they use. ol of that would have been explained during the presentation.. now why would they use different terms? because there are so many terms to describe the industry, its just that so many MLM scams have sprouted and closed, so there will always be a pre-judgment that if its an MLM its an illegal company or its a scam that will close down in just a matter of time.not everyone understands the real concept of what an MLM is and that’s why you we’re invited in that manner. im not convincing you to go to their presentation or anything, just want to clear things out with the questions on your mind.. your friend was truthful to you and everything he said was true.. i mean what is there to lose? he had the best interests when he called you up and he saw that the company could change your life just as it has changed mine.. anyways nothing personal bro ayt? i myself was contacted by a friend who invited me to synergy 1 and since then life has been great… and just to show you i mean no disrespect or anything you can even send me a reply to my e-mail its jimmy_seraph4@yahoo.com.. thanx for reading
Using such terms to describe the company is already misleading because it makes us thinks that it is not an MLM company. For a person who don’t believe in MLM, being blindly invited to such company is a discomfort because of the amount of time we have to spend.
I just want to make it clear… My blog didn’t say anything about the company scamming people out of their money. I’m just saying that the way they make people come to them is deceptive.
Multi level marketing is the way to go. There are lot of god info out there these days. The most important thing is to take “positive action” . Multilevel marketing With loads of people joining MLM these days , its te best time to join MLM. Thanks for the nice info my friend.
as if you’re interested in joining a marketing firm when you’re a computer science graduate.
I also received a call from the same company just this morning, he is with the name Jonathan dela Cruz. I was surprised when he told me that he got my name and contact details from my secondary school. I was really surprised! He asked if I could meet up with him this coming Saturday for the business presentation. I’ve been with different people from different MLM companies. I joined some of those MLM’s before, and it’s really rewarding if you give it a time. I, myself, is very aware of the scams and I’m a critical thinker as well. I wanted to see how things work first before plunging into the business. I know some remarkable people from FLP, FQ and a lot of MLM companies as well. I also heard about the loading business opportunities and once joined that also. It has a good system but i wasn’t able to continue because my sim card was corrupted. I don’t have any bad ideas with this kind of business, but yeah, there’s nothing to lose, just time and some effort listening… but it’s a good practice for us to ask questions to know more about the business, and the effectiveness of the business is not on the marketing plan, but depends on the person’s willingness to push through and break all the barriers that prevent him or her to be rewarded. Thanks for the 411 bro, I really can relate to this article, and I hope more people would find this blog a very helpful tip for them to understand first that money doesn’t grow on trees, you have to give time and effort for you to harvest money… email me for some tips, thank you—>tonberry0725@yahoo.com

Looks like I’m not the only one… Some girl just called me about everything that you just talked about, and reading through this thread of yours, it’s amazing!
I wouldn’t be surprised if those two positive responses about MLM’s being that great and all would belong to the same recruiters… Anyway, thanks for the info man!
I agree. Last night may tumawag sa akin.

their recruitments are bogus. I play for a while. Just to get enough information from them. What irritates me, is that they are forcing me to attend and that I would be unprofessional if I decline. When I got enough information on them, I googled the address. 15th floor Octagon building ortigas center that they gave me. This is annoying enough for me, NO COMPANY NAMES? or even NATURE OF THEIR BUSINESS??
Synergy One Global is not the MLM, but the marketing arm of an MLM Company, Nu Skin Enterprises. But MLM is too vast to be generalized as one. Bottom line is there are good ones and scams. And the reason why most people here in the Philippines don\’t believe in it is because there are more scams than legal ones. And they are very different in practices and methods. The reason why your friend isn\’t disclosing much details is because he wants you to not have any prejudgment. he or she is thinking that maybe the opportunity is something that can help you just as it has helped him or her. that is if you are not yet satisfied with where you are in terms of finances or time.
Most of the people w/ NuSkin actually started off as pessimistic people not being told much information. If they were told it was NuSkin right away, they would not have been as successful as they are now.
I don\’t suggest that you join but I\’m very sure your friend was sincere in inviting you even though he kept some info. he just really had to for your sake.
For me they are all the same because from my student life up to now, I have been offered to join in many MLM groups including those legal and famous ones. In fact some of those MLM has been shown on television. Yes some are succesfull but in my experience and for what i saw from my friends they are not.
Disclosing information is considered a lie, if they can’t tell the truth from the start why would I believe them and trust them with my hard earned money.
That\\\’s your opinion but the reality in the business world is they are not all the same. It\\\’s just like saying toyota and mercedes benz are one and the same. you can\\\’t generalize direct-selling companies like that either.
disclosing information is not lying. you can check the dictionary. it is a way to protect the interest of both parties. w/ certain industries such as this, it really is very crucial that people have an open mind. it\\\’s non-commital anyway. you yourself will decide from the complete information given to you. no one will force you.
anyway, what do you mean trusting them w/ your hard earned money? you don\\\’t give it to them. the money is for you to get your own products to validate and is also an equivalent of a \\

anyway, what do you mean trusting them w/ your hard earned money? you don’t give it to them. the money is for you to get your own products to validate and is also an equivalent of a “franchise fee”. it’s probably the cheapest franchise you can ever find compared to P28M for a McDonalds franchise. your money is not for “them”. you spend for your own and in turn, the person who invited you will be OBLIGED to help you ROI and make you successful. coz you can’t be successful in this type of business alone.
but it seems like you are already successful w/ your life from the way you speak. so you don’t really need to even see this kind of business. a straight no answer to your friend would’ve been fine.
by the way, if you were a smart person, the last thing you would go for research are internet blogs that are based on opinion. smart people go for facts, not emotion-based figures.
Hi!
I\’m actually from the business we are talking about here. I just can\’t stop myself not to reply in this thread.
What I just want to inform others about this business is please let us answer all your questions after seeing the business models.
Give us a chance to introduce what MLM is because its a big benefit to have information that will help you to success.
Before talking some negative things on such companies, look into yourself if you are successful already. If not, let us help you to reach your dreams.
It wasn\’t a scam.. because if it is, why are the people in our business are all professionals.. and not just ordinary professionals, we are the TOP in the industry. There are, CPA\’s, Engineers, Managers, Top Notchers in board exam, and other High ranking people in the industry. DO YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE SMARTER THAN THEM?
I\’m not forcing eveyone to do the business, I just only want everyone to give a shot to see the business. If you don\’t like it, it\’s fine with us. But we are surely invite you again in the right time when you realized that you need us and you are tired already of your life because your life becomes a routine and haven\’t realize that you haven\’t reach your dream.
This post is to inform everyone who are searching the internet what is this company or so called Synergy 1. There is no risk in looking for a business presentation for a 2hrs session.
Not a scam? maybe but we should think twice before engaging in such business.
But whenever I see a business model like this. It always have these…
1. Membership fee that cost more than a thousand pesos or you have to buy some overpriced items that cost a lot.
2. The thought that you just have to invite a couple of persons to join the business under you.
3. You are required to buy/consume these items at a fixed minimum cost per month to keep you active. Of course they will stress that you are not selling.
4. Ask them if you can open a store with their item and have their name displayed. They won’t agree because that will be retailing.
5. They will stress that they are so famous by showing some articles and BEST COMPANY LIST but you will not see them in any newspaper or TV. Wierd because they say they are very successful.
6. They will held the meeting in some place where you can’t see the logo of their company ( Fast Food Chains, Rented Meeting Halls ).
Doesn’t your business model have these things on the list?
The thought of doing little things and achieving more is to good to be true. For me if its too good to be true its not true. Even the most successful businessman have worked their ass off and outsmarted life to reach their position.
I think that you are a really smart guy. You\\\’ve created a blog like this and research about some business models very well.
I suggest that you go inside, go to the place. Take down notes on what will you see there and then research again on the interent if all the things they will say is true.
For this statements qouted below.. you will see answers that you may not knew before.

“The thought of doing little things and achieving more is to good to be true. For me if its too good to be true its not true. Even the most successful businessman have worked their ass off and outsmarted life to reach their position.”
You know, I really wanted to answer each statement you bulleted above but I want it for you to know for yourself if this company is like what you are saying.
