13 Reasons To Look At Max International



1. Steve Scott: (Founder/Owner)



Founder, Steve Scott, was the creator of the Television Infomercial business over 30 years ago. Steve has produced infomercials with over ninety one Hollywood Movie Stars such as Chuck Norris & Christie Brinkley (Total Gym), Richard Simmons (Sweatin' to the Oldies), John Tesh & Connie Sellica (Gary Smalley Marriage Enrichment Course) and many others. Steve also started 10 other businesses that all grew into multi-million dollar companies.



When Steve was asked to market MaxGXL, his original reaction was, "No, I do not promote products that go into the mouth". To make a long story short - when Steve saw the scientific evidence that MaxGXL did, in fact, slow down the aging process and eliminate many age related diseases, he told his partners that he was going to retire from doing infomercials and spend the rest of his life marketing this Breakthrough product.



Watch Steve's Interview with Larry King @ http://www.stevenkscott.com



Watch the "Steve Scott Vision" @ http://www.maxgxl.com/movieplayer.php



==================================================================





2. Guthy-Renker (Owner):



When Steve Scott realized the magnitude of this Breakthrough product, he asked his friends and competitors, Bill Guthy and Greg Renker to join him. Guthy-Renker had a team of Scientists and Doctors evaluate the product and, 2 weeks later, came back to them saying, "This is the real deal"... MaxGXL is scientifically PROVEN to slow down aging and eliminate many age related diseases. Guthy-Renker eagerly became part owners of Max International and committed to produce infomercials with Hollywood movie stars on each of Max's products.



Did you get that? Infomercials on Max's Products to make them a household word. Launched 20 years ago by Co-CEOs Bill Guthy and Greg Renker, Guthy-Renker is today one of the world's largest direct response television companies with sales of more than $1.5 Billion per year with products like Proactiv Solutions with Jessica Simpson, Winsor Pilates,Sheer Cover with Leeza Gibbons, and Get the Edge with Tony Robbins.

===================================================================



3. Greg Fullerton (Owner):



Those of you who have been in the sales industry are probably familiar with "Franklin Covey" (Franklin Planner). Greg Fullerton was the founder/creator of Franklin Quest which later merged with Steven Covey (7 Habits of Highly Successful People) to form Franklin Covey. Greg Fullerton has given his time management seminars to ALL 500 of the Fortune 500 Companies.



When Steve Scott introduced Greg to MaxGXL and when Greg saw how it was effecting the quality of people's lives, he jumped in with both feet and made a commitment to spend the rest of his life building Max International.



==================================================================



4. Salt Lake City:



For some reason, Salt Lake City is the home of 70 plus major Network Marketing companies. Since neither Greg Fullerton nor Steve Scott nor Bill Guthy nor Greg Renker had any experience building a network marketing business, they used their financial resources to recruit some of the most qualified and most experienced individuals in the entire industry from these other companies.



For example, many of our V.P.'s have either been the President, Owner or Founder of their own Network Marketing company somewhere along the way. These well qualified leaders are the Best of the Best and more than capable of taking Max International worldwide because they have all done it before.



Read about the Max Management Team @ http://www.maxgxl.com/management.php



===================================================================



5. Deep Pockets:



It is evident by the quality of Leadership recruited from these other companies and the quality of the Max Marketing materials, that there is plenty of money behind this company. Every month they fly over 100 Network Marketers into the home office... pick them up in limo's, pay for their hotel stay for 2 - 3 nights and wine and dine them with great food.



During these 48 hour stays, the founders, owners and top level management mingle with their guests, treat everyone with respect and make themselves accessible to each and every person there. They share their heart and their dream, answer questions and invite their guests to join them in building a championship company.





===================================================================



6. Dr. Robert Keller: (Creator of Max GXL)



Dr. Robert Keller was voted one of America's Top Physicians for the past 5 years, as well as being recognized as one of the Top 2,000 scientists of the 21st century. Dr. Keller treats people with Aids, Cancer and Auto-Immune disorders in his Florida clinic. In an effort to help his patients, Dr. Keller created/formulated and has been using MaxGXL in his practice (and also in Africa) for over 10 years with great success.



Therefore, although Max International is only 1 year old, the product has been undergoing clinical trials and testing for more than 10 years.

Dr. Keller's personal website is @ http://www.robkellermd.org/



===================================================================



7. Composition Patent:



There are two types of patents awarded to nutritional products. The U.S. Patent office awarded Dr. Keller a "Composition Patent" for his scientific discovery.



1. UTILITY PATENT - This patent allows for a competitor to change up to 30% of the formula and still receive a patent on a similar product.



2. COMPOSITION PATENT - This patent does not allow anyone to change even one ingredient in an attempt to duplicate your product. This is the same patent is given Pharmaceuticals.



===================================================================



8. John Nelson:



John Nelson, the immediate past President of the American Medical Association, a man who was passionate about putting what he called "quack" products out of business when president of the AMA, said this about MaxGXL:



"This product, in my opinion, represents the single most important

breakthrough in health that I will witness in my life time. I believe it

will revolutionize, change, and transform the practice of medicine

world-wide and make Dr. Robert Keller more famous than Jonas Salk

who created the polio vaccine."



===================================================================



9. Breakthrough Products:



Steve Scott told us that Max will never be a catalog company and will only represent "Breakthrough" products. Here is how Steve described a Breakthrough product:





1. It's Break Through Effective… meaning it's new and not a copy or knock-off of another product.



2. It's Science Based … meaning the product is backed by scientific research and clinical testing.



When Steve was in the infomercial business his company researched 2,000 products to find one "Breakthrough" product good enough to turn into an infomercial.



The Home Shopping Network asked Steve's company to evaluate their products for a year and choose which ones were good enough to do an infomercial on. At the end of one year they had not found one product that was what Steve called a "Breakthrough" product.



Max International has 3 more Breakthrough products coming out this year:



A. Weight Loss Break-through that in clinical trials found the average woman lost 22 lbs of fat and gained 1 1/2 lbs of muscle in 8 weeks



B. Life Extension Break-through containing enzymes that, when given to mice, cause them to live 30% longer.



C. Skin Care Break-through - Scientists at Clemson University have reduced Glutathione to Nano size and when put into skin creme, results are visible in 90 seconds.



Our first product, MaxGXL, is the ONLY product in the world that is clinically proven to increase Glutathione levels in every cell in the body up to 400%, as well as recycle the used glutathione that is stored in the liver.



Learn more about Glutathione @ http://www.maxgxl.com/products.php



===================================================================



10. Superior to Juices, Pills, Berries, Bark or Plants:



There are 2 way to repair Free Radical damage on the cellular level



1. Exogenous - Plant source Pills and Juices repair "SOME" free radical damage from the outside in by stimulating regeneration.



2. Endogenous (MaxGXL) - Created naturally within all 15 million cells and repairs "ALL" free radical damage from the inside out by initiating regeneration.



This is a Very BIG Deal!



For those who understand how Free Radicals "Steal" electrons from other cells...



- Vitamin E has......... 3 extra electrons to share

- Vitamin C has......... 5 extra electrons to share

- OPC's have.............. 250 extra electrons to share

- Glutathione has...... 1 million extra electrons to share



Glutathione is the KING of ALL antioxidants



===================================================================



11. Compensation Plan:



The Max Compensation Plan is powerful and unique "Hybrid" of a Binary combined with a Uni-level that has unlimited income potential. This combination is attracting many Legendary, Professional Network Marketers who are jumping on board NOW

I do several things to help hubby pay the bills. I don't know if any of these will catch you fancy, but if they do, send me an email through my profile and I will explain further.



I was a working mom until a year ago when I was downsized. I have a background in office administration and was unable to locate employment that paid similar to what I was making to afford child care (distant relative was watching my preschooler).



I have since begun my own business with Home Interiors and Avon. Since neither of these, right now, are 100% reliable, I was forced to find a "job" with a company that would pay an hourly or piece wage.



I found my jobs (yes 2) through sohojobs.org. I do some typing for one of them and customer service with the other. With the customer service job I work about 30 hours a week on a set schedule. The typing job is a "whenever" type of job.



I looked at each and everyone of the job boards you mentioned prior to joining sohojobs.org. Honestly, I didn't want to pay the membership fee at first, but I was desperate. The mortgage had fallen behind and the electric was about to be shut off. I am so glad that I spend the 24.95 on soho because slowly but surely, we are getting caught up!

I am able to be home with my children because of Mary Kay. I know how you feel I felt the same way I hated putting my daughter in day care I cried all the time and my friend told me about Mary Kay I was not interested in sales so I told her not interested about a year later frustrated and at my wits end I listened to the facts and was surprised at what I found even now 4 years later it is hard to explain that it isn't really sales it is sharing a product I love with women who want the service I offer I hated going to the store trying to figure out what I needed with no one to ask or a different sales person each time having a draw full of lipstick I couldn't use because once I tried it I couldn't return it. Now I offer a service to women that makes them feel good while working with a company that puts Faith first then Family then career teaching me every step of the way depending on my goal and they have changed over the 4 years. I have a great support group of positive up lifting women that have been come great friends. My only regret was not listening sooner. So not all direct sales are the same just maybe this is what you are looking for and maybe it's not but you will never know unless you hear the facts.

I feel your pain. I have been searching for a work at home oppertunity for two years, I have met up with scam after scam, and I've had my hopes dashed time and again. I even went to college for two years so I could be a medical transcriptionist from home, and then discovered that without at least two years of experience, my education was just about worthless. I'd say that all you can do is keep trying and be careful not to get suckered in until you can do your own research. Also, don't believe everyone who says something IS a scam. Alot of times people will sign up for these home buisness things, then not put in the effort. Then they get on the web and declare the whole thing a scam just because they didn't get rich over night. Home jobs are like home schooling, you have to make yourself do it, no one else is going to . I am happy to say that after years of hard searching I have finally found my legitamate way to make money from home and I love it. I am still new at this but I am slowly growing. Soon, as I meet my goal income, I will quit my "day job" and be fulltime at home. If you have any questions about what I found that worked, or even about the scams I tried that didn't please drop me a line.

I am a stay at home mom and I have joined an online work from home business that is free and open to people worldwide. It is also registered with the Better Business Bureau. It's not a get rich scheme either. I don't want to break any of the yahoo rules by posting it, so anybody that wants the website, feel free to contact me and you can check it out for yourself.

Hi! My name is Sarah. I just wanted to let you know I read your comment on Yahoo Answers. I'm a stay at home mom or a beautiful baby girl. I also have two older boys who are in grades 1 and 3. I HAD to find something where I could stay at home with my daughter. My husband and I decided that we could NOT put her in daycare for various reasons. I looked all over on line to find something legit that I could do from home, I tried the survey thing, I wrote to Yahoo Answers. People gave me these companies that actually charge me tons of money, plus I have to buy this and that to even get paid. It's horrible! I was at my witts end- sadly I thought I'd have no choice but to put her in daycare and get a job. We sure as heck can't make it on only 1 salary. Avon and Mary Kay kind of.. fell into my lap. I now sell both and I LOVE both of the

buisnesses. I have a lot more customers with Avon, because of course it's cheaper, but MK products are so wonderful.

I love doing skin care classes/parties. I love doing make-up and making people feel pretty. I have so many girls that

call me and want me to do make-up for them for one ocassion or another. The best part is I can stay home with my

baby girl and my self esteem (and my looks) are better now than they have been my whole life. If you want to email me I would love to give you more information, the perks the benefits, the drawbacks, or if you want to know about any specific product I'd be glad to help you. Anything you need I'll be right there to assist you. My recruiter was wonderful and I want to return the favor to other women. And they really mean it that you can earn what you want. My husband was leary at first, but now that the money is coming in he's happy! haha! Anyway, I'd LOVE to talk to you anytime. You have nothing to lose, right?

The truth is that unless you want to spend hours filling out surveys or getting ripped off by scammers, it is really hard to get a work at home job that pays anything more than $5. Unless you have a degree and can work for a legit company at home doing computer work or customer service, but they prob wont like it if they here screamming baby in background. So it is pretty hard for someone to get hired to work at home.

2008-04-23 05:53:40 UTC
as seen on WAHM.com



I know a lot about this topic so please forgive the length of this reply. I have a lot of good info for you. I am a mother of two little girls who are actually tugging on my arm as I write this so I will try to be brief. Many people are looking for work from home companies. All the scams definitely create a big problem but also, there is a problem of people misunderstanding the difference between work from home "jobs" and work from home opportunities. There really are not work from home “jobs”. To get that you have to start working for a company in their offices first, then they MAY allow you to take the job home.



Most of the work from home opportunities that are legitimate offers are not an hourly pay type job. They are business opportunities that help you in starting your own business from your home.



What you should do first is to decide if you are simply looking for an hourly rate type job or if you are looking for more of an opportunity for additional income such as what you would make in your own business being your own boss from home. Many say a JOB stands for Just Over Broker and I have found that to be true as well. I never got anywhere working for others.



Small home businesses have some small costs involved, less then $500 to start is reasonable and I would stay away from those wanting $1000-$5000. It doesn’t cost that much to start and run a home business so you shouldn’t pay it. The real ones will have a small monthly overhead as well. Should be around $50 a month but no more then $75. And everything should be included from your web sites to training and team support to back office accounting and booking. It’s ok to pay this overhead because it’s a business, they cost money. It’s not reasonable to assume you can run a business from home with a website, accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, processing and more for free so do keep that in mind as you search.



If you are coming across places that say free then I would RUN don’t walk the other way! They never are. I tried them many a times and 3 weeks later I had to buy this and 6 weeks later that. After 6 months these “free businesses” had cost me over $800 on average.



I’m a stay at home mom of two little girls as I mentioned, ages 1 and 3. I work about 15-18 hours per week for a National Medical Benefits Company. This is a home business, a nationally known and reputable home business which is what you need to make sure you are looking for. I have been with the company almost a year now and I make over $3500 a month! In your first month, depending on how many hours you can work, I have seen people make anywhere from $500 to over $3000. And your income will increase each month because we get paid residual income as well. If I continue on as I am going at the end of the year I will be making $6000 a month. My friend Becky from South Carolina started 2 years before me and she is now making $102,000 a year with this company.



The best part is they have 401(k), direct deposit, life insurance and a benefits package most of which you get from day one. In addition, there are no products, no hard selling or pushing, no cold calling, no home parties and no telemarketing! That was VERY important to me.



I absolutely love working with them and I can't believe I am making what I am making and in so few hours per week. The neat thing is there are other people on your team that you work with so you are never alone. You have great team support and you get to know the other people on your team pretty well. The support is great but I have made wonderful friends as well. I think that’s important too, especially being at home!



I was a bit apprehensive at first because I know a lot of companies are not legit but this company is the number one National Medical Benefits Company in the US. They are a member of the US Chamber of Commerce, and the National Association of Dental Plans and the owner of the company actually sits on the board of The Consumer Health Alliance to which we are also members. Also they were featured in “The New York Times”, “Wall Street Journal” “Time Magazine” and the “American Medical Review”. Even “60 Minutes” with Morley Safer did a big special on this home based business.



Even more then all this is they are accepted at over 100,000 retailers nation wide. These are fortune 500 companies like Sears, Target, Walgreens, CVS, Wal-mart, Publix and more. These companies would never work with a company that was any thing less then reputable. That made me feel very good about working with them knowing they were accepted at these stores that I frequent. Also now of course being with them I get the dental and vision benefits for free and I saved over $150 on my last visit to the dentist! That’s just a beautiful perk! : - )



When I first started I just felt very safe with them, that and my friend was already making so much money with Ameriplan. But at this point I feel a sense of security financially that our family has never had before. That plus LOVING what you do? What could be better?



Check them out! Just type in www.workathomeplus.net in your web browser.



-Amy
