Alan Kippax Achievement History

1997 was my first introduction to Network (or Multi-Level) Marketing with ACN (which is now a large and successful organization). Over the years I signed up with a few (Mary Kay, Melaleuca) but always hated asking people if they “wanted to make extra money” or “join my team” or any of the lines that a company might teach. I learned early on what the definition of a pyramid scheme was; no actual product, no corporate headquarters.

I had what most people would consider a great job, so I actually put MLM's on the back burner and concentrated on “my career”. In early 2007 I was introduced to a company that was in the financial planning business (Primerica). I was so excited to be able to help people with their financial goals that I went to their convention in Atlanta. I was so pumped that I quit my job to dedicate my time to the financial services business, before I even knew if I could do it. I failed miserably.

I got my job back but in a different department – and it was only casual.

In November 2007 after having given up on becoming my own boss I was invited to yet another business presentation in the back room of a Chinese food restaurant in Winnipeg's downtown area. I thought “what the heck” and I went. They had some great products and a payment structure like I had never seen before. I “got it” but at the time I didn't the funds and was not willing to “beg, borrow...” to get it so I pretty much forgot about the whole thing.

In September 2008 the same friend told me the corporate team (including the founder) from the company she had introduced me to the previous November, was going to be in town because the business was “exploding” in Winnipeg. Again, being frustrated with my current job, I thought “what the heck” and went to the presentation.

This time it was as the Westin Hotel and the room was packed. I sat about midway to the “stage” area – on the isle. I watched the same presentation I had watched 10 months earlier, but the corporate team made the product introduction easier to understand. The founder was very dynamic and made the payment structure presentation not only informative but interesting... and entertaining.

I was excited about what I had heard, and decided I wanted to be a part of it, but this time I was curious to get to know this very charismatic man better before I joined the business so I hung around until well after the rest of the people left (even the who person who had invited me) so I could chat with this man. He was very gracious and invited me for a bite to eat with the whole team I listen to them talk not only about themselves but about the business, critiquing each other on their presentations. I literally felt like a fly on the wall but they seemed to have nothing to hide which I was totally impressed with.  After the meal, because it was quite late the founder whose name I came to know as Alan Kippax walked me to my car. It was a fair distance away so I drove him back to the hotel and told Alan Kippax I was “in”.

 

The corporate team was in town for another couple of days giving training on how to run your business and I attended all of them.  Over the next few months I got to know the man who had given the presentation when I originally went to the Chinese restaurant and also met the group of people that were working on having a Mentoring Centre set up in Winnipeg.  I began helping with the MC set up and learned the presentations so well that when the corporate trainer came back to Winnipeg I was her assistant for the training.

Skip forward to April 2009; After a huge gala for the company's 2^nd anniversary the corporate team went on a cross country tour which I followed them on - literally, a few other distributors and I followed the corporate bus. Red Deer was really expanding so we spent a couple nights there. I met so many wonderful people on that tour. The Calgary Mentoring Center was lead by a family who were also on the presentation slides as a testimonial to how great the product was. 

When we got to Kelowna BC I met a retired police officer and his wife who very throughly investigated the company before joining. In Vancouver I met an actor (that I still stay in touch with) who loved the business. On the second day in Vancouver, the corporate trainer asked me to go to Mississauga to help her with the presentations there. I told Alan kippax, she had made that request and he agreed that I should go. I didn't have a place to stay so Alan Kippax offered an apartment he rented that was quite close to the company headquarters so it was easy for me to get there.

The building was being renovated so during the day I helped out as much as my limited skills allowed (mostly cleaning blinds etc.).  We made sure that we had a room ready for the presentations and two nights per week we gave them.  We had several people come become distributors. When Alan and the corporate team got back to Mississauga from the tour Alan Kippax was so impressed with my work that he offered me a position in the office.

I got to know Alan kippax in a bit better on my first visit to his house (which he called the cottage). It was a beautiful log cabin structure and the garage was big enough to house the company bus. Even though my visits were always in a group setting (for a barbecue - which was always included) Alan Kippax never stopped trying to come up with ideas to make the business better and to help the distributors make more money. Most of our visits was him brainstorming ideas - sometimes on napkins and me trying to keep up with him with writing them down.

When Alan Kippax was introducing a new product to the distributors he went on another tour which this time, I joined the team on the bus.  It couldn't carry the entire team and all of the merchandise so Alan Kippax rented a Uhaul to tow along. I got all the way to Winnipeg then was asked to go back to Toronto because a few other towns (namely Tillsonburg) wanted presentations to be held, as the business was expanding across the country.  I moved to London Ontario in July 2009 and gave the presentations in Tillsonburg and Mississauga until October.

I moved away from the GTA in November 2009 but continued to answer on-line enquiries for the company. Sales began to drop and on March 22, 2010 BiM ceased to do business. I went back in the spring of 2010 to help wrap things up with the company. Again I stayed at Alan's rented apartment. During my stay Alan Kippax was arrested for something unrelated to the business. I had so much faith in his ability to beat the bogus charge I even signed as surety for his bail, which means I was responsible to ensure he stayed in the area. Because the charge was driving related he could not drive so I became a chauffeur. Know more about Alan Kippax tips .

The trial was held in April of 2010 and unfortunately he was found guilty and sentenced to jail. Over the next several years we wrote a few letters to one another. When he got out jail he had to return to the UK, which is where he was born. Because his mind never quits he very quickly started working on HRI - which I am looking forward to being a part of.

To those people who are upset about not making any money with BiM and calling it a scam I want you to know that I never made a penny as a distributor because I was too busy helping others makes money. It didn't matter to me because others were becoming very successful and I (finally) loved what I was doing.  If you didn't make money in BiM it's because you didn't run it like a business and you have no one to blame but yourself.
