Addison, Texas - Relationship marketing leader Nerium International paid tribute to its “Million Dollar Club” members during the company’s biannual conference in St. Louis on April 7.
The Million Dollar Club includes Brand Partners who have surpassed $1 million in earnings since the company debuted in 2011 with its first product – Age-Defying Night Cream. In the 4½ years since, Nerium has expanded its lineup of scientifically advanced, age-defying products to include many options for the face, the body and even the mind.
Thirty-one Brand Partners claimed the honor in awards-show fashion at The Dome at America’s Center, starting with earners who have surpassed the $1 million threshold and finishing with the company’s $10 million earners: Chief Field Officers Mark and Tammy Smith.
“People see the recognition, they see the accolades and they see the lifestyle,” Mark Smith told his fellow Brand Partners. “But, at the counter of success, there is no discount. You are going to have some speedbumps, and you are going to have some pitfalls. It’s going to take time, but it’s worth it.”
Many Million Dollar Club members credited Founder and CEO Jeff Olson as their reason for joining Nerium. Others noted a desire to provide for their families, or simply break the seemingly endless cycle of financial struggles they experienced prior to Nerium.
“This company brought me hope,” said Million Dollar Club member Linda Lindsey. “Never did I imagine that I’d make a million dollars in a million years.”
The company anticipates many more Brand Partners will reach the Million Dollar Club milestone in the next two years as the company continues to expand into foreign markets, including Colombia, Hong Kong and Japan. Nerium currently operates in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Korea and is the fastest product-based company in the relationship marketing industry to reach $1 billion in cumulative revenue.
