Enterprising Communities - Case Study IV

Richard Parker - February 2011

When Richard Parker returned from Dubai after 5 years working as a Steel Construction Manager, little did he know that six months on he would be selling a new revolutionary ladies hygiene product!!

Richard, 41, started working for his uncle when he was 15 where he was involved in scaffolding and the steel construction industry.  He has worked all over the world  and after returning from the Far East he found himself unemployed and with very little prospects in the Steel Construction Industry. 

Richard had been aware of the multi level marketing opportunity from a friend in Dubai and had seen how the opportunity had grown.  With the product patented and over 10 million distributors in 90 countries Richard could see the potential when he learnt that the company was looking to break into the UK and European market and even more so when he learnt that in just 10 months over 10,000 distributors had signed up in the company.  Even President Obama's brother is now a distributor!

After speaking with Menta and attending many of the Menta training courses and workshops in Marketing your Business, Presentation Skills, Bookkeeping and Financial, to name a few, Richard decided to go full steam ahead.

Since November 2010 he has signed up over 100 distributors in the UK and is looking to be the 'head' of the UK operations in supplying products and giving people the chance to earn additional income through this unique multi level marketing opportunity. 

Richard now travels all over the country and  has launched his own website, www.winalitesuccesscentreuk.co.uk to help sell and promote the business.  The products address 'negative ions', kills bacteria, eradicates odour and fatigue to name a few of the of the benefits of this product. Richard admits that he still has a lot to learn in implementing systems and building a solid business foundation but with the continual support of Menta to keep him 'on track' he feels more confident that his business will be successful.

“Chrissy Proctor from MENTA has been there for me since day one of my business providing me with advice, sometimes on a daily basis and with her experience in multi level marketing it was great to pick her brains and get input from her. The one-to-one sessions have been fantastic and have really helped me and the fabulous meeting rooms at the Menta Business and Training Centre have been very useful as they can be hired for meetings and seminars.”
