 
Welcome to the go-ViVO! community 
 I'm John Counsel, founder and mentor of the go-ViVO! Team. You can view my professional credentials here and my
MLM background here. (Google me.)
I do things differently, and I'll teach you to do
things differently, too, when you join us. So your results should be very different from the majority of network marketers.
The go-ViVO! Team is an independent training community created to help YOU build your business faster, earn more income, and gain long-lasting success in less time, with fewer people. It doesn't matter which downline organization you belong to, which country you live in or who your sponsor is — you're welcome to join the go-ViVO! community.
But first, let me explain a couple of important points…
1. The go-ViVO! Team is NOT a personal downline organization
Distributors from ANY downline team, anywhere in the world, can join and benefit from our training and support. You do NOT leave your existing distributor organization or sponsor. You simply plug into the best training and support community available to help ALL ViVO! Global distributors, anywhere in the world.
Smart sponsors and upline leaders will quickly recognize the benefits of what we offer and recommend our program to their own downline teams because it will save them countless hours every month and allow them to focus on building their businesses bigger, better and faster. (And no, there are NO commissions or bonuses paid to anyone for referring your downline members to us. Your personal benefit from referring your downline members will come from bigger company bonuses paid on their improved results — in product sales and sponsoring — and from the extra time you'll have available because you're not as busy training and supporting your growing downline.)
Important note to sponsors and upline leaders:
Referring people to the go-ViVO! community does not release you from your responsibility to train and support your own downline team. But we make it a lot easier, faster, better and smarter for you — and for them!
2. Yes, I'm an active Vivo! Global distributor
I've been involved with the company since mid-2001, when the founder, Mr Leigh Moore, retained me as a professional advisor to create a better, simpler compensation plan that would reward distributors well and fairly, so they could earn more money, in less time, with fewer people.
At that time, the company name was Flantech because of its close ties to products and technology developed by Dr Patrick Flanagan. As the company grew and our markets evolved, I was again retained to create a new name and identity that reflected what people are seeking (instead of what we're offering) in both our product benefits and the lifestyle offered by our unique income opportunity. (This is a very important distinction from a marketing perspective.)
By the time this was completed and ready to launch, I was so impressed by the commitment and integrity of the company, and how it does business, that I resigned as a professional advisor to become a distributor and build my own ViVO! Global network, starting from scratch. (It's called "putting your money where your mouth is!")
Doesn't this give me and my downline team an unfair advantage?
Believe it or not, no… it doesn't. For one thing, the company doesn't play favourites — an important protection for ALL of us* — and, for another thing, I've chosen to make everything I offer my own downline team available to ALL ViVO! Global distributors, everywhere, no matter which downline organization they belong to. You can learn more about what this means for you and your own downline team, and why I've done this, by clicking here.
* Ironically, shortly before I became involved professionally with ViVO! Global, I turned down an offer from a well-known network marketing company to join its network in return for a guaranteed income of at least $350,000 a year for three years — that's more than $1 MILLION in total. Very flattering — and very attractive!
So why did I say "no"?
If a company will do a secret deal with me, it will do secret deals with other leaders it wants to recruit, just so it can use those high-profile recruits to attract more part-time distributors — without ever revealing that the high-flyer's REAL reason for joining wasn't the company, the products or the compensation plan. It was for money. In other words, bribery.
Secret deals happen all the time in First Generation network marketing. (You'd be shocked how often.) Groucho Marx once said "I wouldn't join any club that would have me." I feel much the same: I wouldn't join any MLM company that would bribe me to join, because I could never TRUST anything it said — and I don't do business with people I can't trust.
ViVO! Global is that rarest of things in network marketing… a genuine, FOURTH Generation business. |
Is this a company-owned program or web site?
The answer is both yes and no. Let me explain...
It's actually a joint venture owned by The Profit Clinic and myself (I founded The Profit Clinic) and ViVO Global Pty Ltd. I created it because ALL network marketing companies — including ViVO! Global — have only three essential roles, and when they stray from those three essential roles, it always causes problems for distributors, sooner or later, and it often damages the business itself.
Those three essential company roles?
- Supply products that are high-quality, safe, effective, in-demand, affordable, consumable and offer solid value for money — delivered on time and in proper order and condition.
- Supply sales and sponsoring tools and aids that are effective and affordable — to help distributors sell and sponsor more people, more often, more easily.
- Pay bonuses to distributors — on time, in full, with accurate and transparent accountability. (Back.)
Network marketing companies — including ViVO! Global — are not SALES organizations, despite what most of them claim (and actually believe, to be fair to them). They're manufacturing and marketing* organizations that OUTSOURCE the SALES function of the business to their independent distributors!
(* Marketing and selling are NOT the same thing. In network marketing, marketing is handled by the company. Selling is handled by the distributor network. You can download a FREE Insight Report explaining the vitally important differences from here.)
So the best source of training and support for those independent distributors will obviously come from successful people and organizations who are actively engaged in DIRECT SELLING, SPONSORING and TRAINING.
I've built a reputation as one of the leading MLM authors and trainers in the world, and The Profit Clinic has an international reputation as well. But don't just take my word for it…

So why is the company involved here?
Remember those three crucial roles played by the company? (Scroll up if you can't remember.) The second role — Supply sales and sponsoring tools and aids that are effective and affordable — to help distributors sell and sponsor more people, more often, more easily — covers aspects of this project.
Besides, no company should be expected to hand total control of training and support of its sales network to a third party provider, no matter how trustworthy or helpful they are. The history of network marketing is full of third party training and tools providers who abused their positions and became more influential with the network than the company itself.
So I invited the company to join forces to ensure that its interests — and yours — were properly balanced and protected. Under this agreement, the company provides the technical resources and support for the Advanced Membership System, while we provide the training content and support. This helps to ensure the lowest possible cost, protects the interests of everyone, including ViVO! members, and ensures that everything is compliant with company policies and procedures, while combining the unique and exclusive concepts and methods created and owned by The Profit Clinic.
Why do we focus on the Internet to build our businesses?
There are a handful of essential activities that need to be done — continually — in order
to build and duplicate a truly successful, thriving, growing,
dynamic network marketing team.
Building activities...
- Finding people who are interested
in our products and our income opportunity.
- Approaching them in a risk-free way (for everyone involved).
- Helping them to qualify themselves into their proper categories for effective learning.
- Bonding with them, emotionally, to
build genuine personal relationships.
- Helping them begin building their prospect
lists and getting into profit within 24 hours.
- Having them join ViVO! Global (and
the Go-ViVO! Team) with YOU as their sponsor.
Duplication activities...
- Communication —
the lubricant that reduces friction in the gears
of all successful relationships.
- Training —
duplicating the knowledge, insights, attitudes and skills needed for success.
- Recognition — often means more than money in helping people
achieve true success.
- Support —
especially emotional. Our unique Lock Nut System delivers exceptional support.
There have always been three major obstacles to these essential activities...
For example, if you had a downline team of 2,000 people and you
wanted to send them all a newsletter each month, you'd be lucky
to do it for less than $2,000 per month — not including your
time!
With the Internet, those three obstacles are eliminated — and all those essential building and duplication activities
are much, much easier, faster and more effective. Better
still, tedious, routine activities can be automated.
This frees up your time so you can focus on the most important aspects of your business.
Spend a little time exploring the different sections in the main
menu (top left). Pay special attention to the sample training and support section on Compensation Plans — this is valuable, FREE information that's exceptionally useful (and powerful) for ANY network marketer, regardless of which company they represent or how new or experienced they are.
Then join us to take the benefits you'll enjoy to the next stage.
What benefits will I enjoy as a go-ViVO! member?
This is a membership program with TWO levels of membership. The first level is FREE, and is designed to help you build your first ViVO! PowerCell — the foundation unit of every leadership level in the compensation plan. That includes teaching you the knowledge and skills, and providing the basic tools, you'll need to achieve that.
By the time you complete your first PowerCell, your monthly bonus should be at least the equivalent of 700 CV (whatever that translates to in your local currency). The target date for achieving this is the end of your third full month as a Member, but some people will do it sooner, and some will take longer. You'll set your own pace and deadlines, always. It's your business, and you should be in control.
The second level is a paid membership program... the ViVO! Leadership System. This is for serious business builders who want to accelerate their business using automated, integrated tools, including "funded proposals" that can earn you extra income from your prospecting, as well as the most advanced training in the world of network marketing. Put bluntly, if you can't succeed with this System, it's unlikely that you'll succeed with anything else.
The ViVO! Leadership System is available to all ViVO! members who choose to participate. This is, without question, the most powerful, comprehensive lead generation, education, qualifying, sponsoring, training and support system in all of network marketing. (Detailed overview documents will be available here very shortly.)
How much does it cost?
It costs just US$27 per month, and can be included in the painless Automatic Monthly Order/AutoDeduct program. This is ViVO's handy system that allows you to pay for this month's Automatic Monthly Order from your bonus for last month's group sales. (Remember, too... by the time you build your first PowerCell, you should be earning at least 25 times the cost of your monthly membership anyway!)
SAVE EVEN MORE! You can pay a full year in advance for US$270 (save $54 per year!) or in four quarterly payments (every three months) of US$75 per quarter (save $24 per year).
The ViVO! Leadership System membership fees are a tax-deductible business expense in most countries. (Please seek qualified professional advice before acting on this. We do not offer professional legal or taxation advice or opinion.)
I hope you decide to join us and look forward to working together. Why not register now for email notification as soon as this program is ready for launch? There's no cost or commitment for registering for notification.
