Monavie came on the scene and blew out all the records for growth and sheer volume of sales. As is always the case, anyone with something new that works will run into the wave of copy cats and "wannabe" challengers. Who knew that Costco would be one of the first to come up with a product designed to cash in on the Acai beverage popularity.

Costco stocked the shelves with Acai drinks that looked like a good deal and much lower in cost than the Monavie products. You get what you pay for. On close inspection the nutritional value and the cost per oz. didn't get it done for Costco. Based on nutritional value Costco came out to about $1.50 per oz. and Monavie runs about $.44 per oz. Keep in mind this is relative to the actual nutritional value. 4 oz. of MonaVie is comparable to 13 servings of fruits and vegetables and the others were not even close.

When doing the research you discover that the legitimate competitive product challengers cost just as much as Monavie with less nutritional value. Monavie is the only company with a patent pending freeze dried process that preserves 98% integrity of the Acai antioxidant.

One billion dollars in sales in the first three years of operation is impressive and very hard to argue with. Monavie is all alone in this kind of meteoric success as a new network marketing company. Further; they paid out half of those proceeds to their Monavie independent distributors. Not too bad!

Allow me to provide an illustration of the value issue. You can by a Chevrolet and experience reliable transportation. Or you can buy a Mercedes and get a boat load of features along with your reliable transportation. Both cars have four tires and a steering wheel but they are not the same. In the case of Monavie, the value feature is in the actual nutritional value and the benefits experienced by those who consume the product.

Arriving at 18th on the list of Fortune 500 companies is nothing to sneeze at. Say what you want it looks like Monavie has done some things right.

Monavie's independent distributors have focused primarily on the good old face-to -face friends and family approach to marketing. Their success demonstrates the fact that this approach still works. Unfortunately this approach still leaves way too many people with product in hand and not much else.

R3Global is the leading marketing network in the Monavie family. They have redefined the art of holding meetings. However, they are leaving a lot of people behind by failing to take advantage of the online business building tools that are redefining network marketing on a global scale.

Reality Check: It does not matter what Costco or any other company does to compete with Monavie. The possibilities online are so vast that there is room for anyone who wants to jump in. The trick is in standing out and getting noticed by enough people to build you business.

The big challenge with online marketing is in the fact that there are so many "Best of the Best Marketing Solutions." After months of research, thousands of e-mails and considerable testing, I have discovered a system that provides step-by-step instructions that anyone can follow to build a prospect list online. If you are looking for answers it is more than worth your time to check out this system. The top online marketers have joined forces with the industry's top network marketers; spent over $500,000.00 and developed the industry's first comprehensive marketing system lead generation, sales funnels, capture pages, and personal branding in one place.

The online learning curve derails thousands of people every day. If you are building a downline in any MLM you want those who you enroll to succeed with systems that are easy to understand and genuinely produce the intended results.

Monavie has earned a standing ovation for their accomplishments so far. It will be fun to watch them as they continue their global expansion. Their goal is 20 billion in annual sales. To quote the CEO and founder Dallin Larson, "It is not our intention to be the best company in the world; it is our intention to the best for the world."
