MLM business or network marketing appeared in our country more than fifteen years ago. Cosmetic brands Oriflame and Avon, which still exist on the market, can be considered pioneers.
Today, the number of network companies has grown significantly, and the largest of them can be found on the official website of the Direct Selling Association.
The presented list is not a rating, but it makes it possible to avoid meeting with scammers, because sometimes an ordinary financial pyramid is hidden under the mask of a network company. There are many doubts about the work of Wicholding, reviews of which are rather contradictory.
In our review you will find detailed information about the MLM business, the necessary skills, as well as the opinions of people who have worked in Wicholding.
About company
Basic information about the activities of the organization is available at www.wicholding.com. Reviews of former “partners” mentionwell-known businessman Arkady Sharov as the head of the company. However, based on official data, the international company World Intercontinental is registered in the British Virgin Islands (Caribbean Sea). Probably, many have heard about this largest offshore zone, where no reporting or taxes are required.
So, the company is international, but for some reason the main activity is carried out in Russia and the CIS countries. Contradictory reviews about the company Wiholding. Whether all its slogans are false or not - we have to figure it out. Many people make strong arguments against working in this office. But we will give Wicholding another chance and take a closer look at the products we sell.
A modest choice
As a rule, network companies choose one main direction. Tupperware sells special polymer and metal cookware, Amway is famous for its home care line, and Mary Kay, Oriflame and Avon specialize in cosmetics, perfumes and accessories. The catalogs of these brands have an impressive number of positions, which cannot be said about the goods on wicholding.com.
Official site, reviews of which are presented in sufficient quantity, contains several sections.
Wic Beauty
The only product that is offered as part of the cosmetic line is a rejuvenating cream serum. There is a long description on the site for this product that touts the “unique properties” of the cream.
Whey contains: almond proteins, seaweed extracts, macadamia oil andsunflower, witch hazel extract and rose inflorescence. In addition, it is claimed that some components were delivered to Russia for the first time specifically for Wicholding. Reviews confirming the magical properties of the serum cream are very difficult to find, so the quality of this product is highly questionable.
Top Quality Limited
Amaranth is the main ingredient in the product line with such a big name.
The benefits of this plant have been known since the Aztecs, and now you can find amaranth fast food at wicholding.com. Reviews about the company and its instant soups, cereals and kissels speak of inflated prices.
According to the promises of marketers, products with amaranth improve metabolism, help with anemia and problems with the gastrointestinal tract, remove toxins and strengthen the immune system. This raises the question of whether, for example, chicken flavored tomato soup actually contains the claimed ingredients. Who checks the quality of these products that are not sold in regular stores?
World Inter Continental
This section presents two types of product:
1. WIC-life porridge is available in five flavors: with cream and wild berries, with butter, with cream and strawberry, with butter, barberry, raspberry and rosehip, as well as with natural vanilla and butter. All ingredients are of exclusively natural origin and are carefully selected - as stated in the description on wicholding.com. Reviews of currentpartners confirm the unique taste and benefits of cereals, but we do not recommend trusting their opinion because of our personal interest in sales.
2. information product. To increase the level of knowledge in the field of finance, Wicholding specialists offer to purchase three sets of DVDs: "Loans", "Investment Fundamentals" and "Money Planning". It should be noted that this information can be found freely available on the Internet, a literate person does not have to buy these discs at all. Well, for those who do not know how to use a regular search engine, even Wicholding will not help. Reviews of information products only prove their uselessness and waste of money.
Easy Life
Easy Life products are divided into four groups:
- "Beauty" is a classic and decorative line.
- "Home" - two types of cream-paste for washing, bleach and universal remedy.
- Easy Tea - seven types of tea created according to a special recipe.
- "He alth" - soups and smoothies rich in vitamins and nutrients.
Minimum information
Many potential buyers complain about the lack of product information on wicholding.com. Reviews about the company are more often negative, which causes distrust even more.
Each product has a detailed description that tells about the unique ingredients and properties. However, it is not immediately possiblesee the cost or the name of the country where these products are produced. The only way to get comprehensive information is to contact the company's partners. At this stage, the most interesting comes - the processing of a potential buyer, which we will dwell on in more detail.
Zombie
The main goal of any network company is to attract as many customers as possible, who then become partners themselves. Thus, a whole network of product sales is being built.
So, if you do get lured into a presentation (whether it's a seminar or just a meeting), it's important to keep a clear mind. It will be quite difficult to do this, because real professionals will communicate with you. Usually people do not notice how in such situations they share quite personal information and fall under the influence.
A similar scheme is used in Wicholding. Reviews, cheating partners and debts are the main complaints of people who are stuck in the network. Most often, promises relate to high incomes, and among the pluses of work that are voiced during zombification, you can notice the following:
- combination of main job and side job in Wicholding;
- bonuses for attracting new customers;
- social programs;
- opportunity to start a business without significant investment;
- make big money with little effort.
At first glance, it seems that all these promises are unrealistic, only a naive person can believe in them. However, many educated and intelligent people are up to their earsin debt after cooperating with Wicholding.
Reviews about the company
Finding information about Wicholding on the web is pretty easy, it's best to do it before becoming an affiliate. After signing a formal agreement and the first forced purchase, a person finds himself in a real trap.
Most affected in the regions - the reason for this is excessive gullibility and an ordinary desire to live better. In order for the invested funds to pay off, it is necessary to work successfully for several months - it's a pity, but no one mentions this when concluding the contract.
You will be promised mountains of gold, but they will not even hint at the difficulties of obtaining real money. All income of employees of this network company is formed on a special electronic wallet, the withdrawal of funds from which is possible only upon payment of a commission. In addition, all prices are in euros, and the internal rate is far from the rate of the Central Bank.
Former partners say that office managers are not shy about language, and sometimes resort to outright threats - this is just one of the reasons why Wicholding is negatively reviewed.
Summing up
Today the most demanded professionals in the labor market are sales managers. In order to be successful in this area, you must have certain qualities, be able to connect with potential customers and identify their needs, and then unobtrusively offer your product.
A truly talented person can earn decent money in network marketing, but forfor others, such work will bring disappointment and debt.
Besides, the choice of network company plays an important role. Brands with a long history of offering quality products are already half the battle, especially if you have your own positive experience with the products offered.
However, there is another category of network companies, such as Wicholding. Reviews and opinions of former partners suggest a pyramid scheme in which management earns not from new customers, but from its own employees. There are even sites on the Web where deceived partners communicate, whose families are in debt, and where Wicholding is compared to an ordinary sect.
Of course, you can meet other points of view, for example, allegedly successful workers who manage to receive more than 100 thousand rubles a month. But, as we said, there are few talented people in sales and they are unlikely to write positive reviews for Wicholding.
Unfortunately, none of us is immune from such situations. Unscrupulous companies will continue to appear on the Russian market. Therefore, before applying for a job, we advise you to realistically assess your abilities and choose an employer with a good reputation.
