MonaVie Launches Global “Free Agent”
Initiative
“The Open Door —
Network Marketing for the 21st
Century” to Protect Independent Distributors
SALT LAKE CITY (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) April 2, 2008 --
MonaVie LLC (www.monavie.com),
creator of the leading nutritional acai blend beverage, today announced
the launch of a worldwide campaign: “The Open
Door — Network Marketing for the 21st
Century.” The campaign calls on direct sellers
and network marketers to end any and all policies and procedures that
seek to bind their independent contractors with unfair and abusive
non-compete agreements.
Punitive lawsuits against distributors who choose to leave network
marketing companies have become a common tactic for a few companies
within the industry. The goal of these suits is to discourage healthy
competition and to impede distributors’
ability to make a living for themselves and their families. Even
distributors who have fulfilled demanding non-compete agreements have
been sued when they attempt to join another network marketing company
years later.
“Non-compete agreements were designed for
high-level corporate employees, not for independent contractors,”
says Dallin Larsen, MonaVie founder and president. “Some
network marketing companies use overly burdensome language in their
agreements as a punitive tool to tie their independent contractors to
them for life, often interfering with the individual entrepreneur’s
ability to earn a living. It’s my belief that
direct selling companies need to earn the trust of their most valued
asset, their distributors, on a daily basis. If a distributor, for
whatever reason, no longer trusts his or her company, that distributor
should be free to go in another direction without undue restriction.”
In today’s economy, more and more people are
turning to network marketing to find full-time work, or to supplement
their income. However, if these prospective distributors are worried
about being handcuffed to unfair contracts, they will be less likely to
take advantage of the benefits that network marketing can offer to them
and their families.
MonaVie’s “The
Open Door — Network Marketing for the 21st
Century” campaign is built upon the company’s
belief that today’s network marketing
distributors deserve, as independent contractors, to be liberated from
outdated, abusive and generally unenforceable policies and procedures.
“Today’s
distributors deserve better than that,”
Larsen says. “They want to choose the company
they work for, and they want to have the freedom to leave that company
whenever they choose. That’s why they chose
to be independent in the first place. Independent distributors are not
company employees. They are not paid a salary. They pay their own taxes,
purchase their own health care, and work from their own homes or offices.”
Through the Open Door campaign, MonaVie seeks to promote and protect the
rights of distributors and of those consumers who are seeking career
opportunities with network marketing and direct selling businesses.
MonaVie encourages other companies to join in the Open Door campaign (www.blog.opendoorcampaign.com)
and take the Open Door Pledge. In addition, distributors are invited to
the site to share their opinions and experiences.
“Our hope in launching this Open Door
campaign is to create a sea of change in how the network marketing
industry works,” Larsen says. “By
ensuring that distributors everywhere can work as free agents, and are
not held prisoner, we can help our industry and thousands of people who
are trying to provide for their families. We welcome other companies to
join the Open Door campaign by reviewing their own distributor
agreements to ensure that they reflect the spirit of entrepreneurship
and freedom that this industry is all about.”
