Josalyn and Erik Dean’s family-owned, hospitality equipment business sold product through a 400-member distribution network that connected them to 15,000 hotels the world over.
They traveled the globe and operated a successful leveraged income business model for decades and during that time were often prospected by network marketers. But, as Erik puts it, “We said no for 20 years because, quite frankly, the products and services lacked differentiation.” That is…until Nerium. “Nerium is different. It stands alone. It can’t be copied. It’s a game changer in the industry,” Erik says.
The Dean’s were impressed, not only with the differentiation of Nerium’s products, but also with the company’s approach to business building. “One of the things that most people hate about the industry is that nobody wants a garage full of product that nobody wants,” Erik says. Nerium changed all that with free inventory.
“The best thing is we get the inventory free,” he says about Nerium’s inventory replacement program. “So you’ve got a product that essentially can’t be copied and we’ve never had to go back to the company once in two and a half years to find more inventory than we’ve had in our house. It’s a perfect model.”
