Have you ever build anything in your entire life? No! Maybe Yes. What was it that you build? How big and complex was it? A wire car? I was good at building those wire cars during my Mutare childhood. Fast forward to High School, I build my first usable products during my Metal Work Classes with Mr. Kambonga. I first made a key holder which I still use to this very day. The second item was a mealie-meal scoop followed by a coat hook. These were no easy tasks trust me. It involved a lot of precision and technique. Does this have anything to do with Investing in Zimbabwean Businesses or making money in Zimbabwe? Let’s find out. (If you know about network/ multi-level marketing scroll down to the next sub heading)

Imagine you have been asked to build a brand new car from scratch for a $1 million dollar competition. Sounds quite a mockery considering you have no experience with cars? Now imagine that one of the best car manufacturing companies in Zimbabwe is giving you a free “starter” car. They’ve built the car using years of practice and experience. It’s a fully functioning car; it just doesn’t have any design or colors applied to it. You need to first give it a shape, a name paint it and make some configuration choices. It doesn’t have aircon, and all those fancy accessories. Would you take the challenge now?

Network marketing or multi-level marketing is a little less like that car. It’s a fully functional company that just needs to be styled and configured the way you want. Starting a business like this in Zimbabwe a few years back required one to be a franchisee, and to get a head start you needed the franchise capital. There weren’t network companies’ business options during the early stages of entrepreneurship in Zimbabwe. You usually just started from scratch or buy a going concern. That has all changed with the advent of Network Marketing/ multi-level marketing companies in Zimbabwe as an alternative to start a real lifetime business in Zimbabwe.

If this is your first time venturing into business, I recommend trying a starter product. Don’t even think twice about it. You can literally leverage years of hard work and get a really good understanding of business and entrepreneurial challenges and winning practices. Besides the car metaphor I used above, I remember a few years back when I wanted to build my website. There is what they refer to as the 1000 hours head start. The basic framework which is basically the same for everyone who wishes to start a business is done for just like my web designing or car metaphor, you would get the basic website framework which is equivalent to 1000 hours so that you didn’t have to spend more time designing. So it is with a multi-level marketing product. The product is already there, tried and tested and the company is already registered. You won’t have to worry about legal issues or tax returns as these are already catered for already in a multi-level marketing business model or network marketing company.

If you’re a hard core do it yourself guy or girl (I know you’re out there), and the thought of not exploring your own idea and starting your very own company from scratch just rubs you the wrong way, I have a friend who holds a business start-up training seminar. He gives you a great overview of the entire company building process and includes plenty of helpful business tools.

Avroy Shlain

Avroy Shlain is a cosmetics company based in South Africa with distributors in Africa and the rest of the world. To join Avroy Shlain in Zimbabwe is free. You earn 25% of your total sales and there are other gifts that can be best explained by an Avroy Shlain affiliate face to face. There are also incentive products and earnings that come when you reach certain targets. My interview with Moleen, revealed if you recruit 15 people and you have Group sales of R10 000, you will be promoted out to be a manager and becoming a manager means you will start earning a monthly salary. If you understand the concept of residual income, you will know that this is the real deal.

Moleen Kondo, a distributor also mentioned that with Avroy Shlain you manage yourself. You don’t have to be on an 8 to 4.30. or 9 to 5 working schedule. You set your own working hours. She looked at me and said, “Try it now Simba and you won’t go wrong. What do you lose when joining is free?” she concluded.

Avroy Shlain uses brochures to buy products. There are 2 ways of buying products when one becomes a distributor

1. Cash sales – you pay cash and you will receive your orders after a week
2. Normal orders – place your orders pay on collection and you will receive your orders after 2 weeks

Moleen also explained about the recruitment incentives were there is a great deal of Income enough to quit your day job. When she explained these incentives to me, I was baffled and I feel I can never explain the concept enough in this post. Just get in touch with Moleen on her contacts below.
