Why Optavia is downgraded to a Business for Home A-grade

There are various reasons contributing to a lower rank, such as incomplete information, sparse press releases, lack of transparency, lack of presence of top earners and top leaders, and distributor and social media influencers visibility.

Incomplete Information

Business for Home relies on comprehensive, factual, and substantiated information to accurately assess a company. However, the information shared by Optavia – Medifast appears to be either fragmented or unsubstantiated, adversely affecting its credibility for network marketing prospects.

Sparse Press Releases

Regular and informative press releases and success stories are vitally essential to keep the wider industry abreast of the sales force (60,200 active distributors) achievements and decisions. Missing out on this, Optavia – Medifast loses the chance to directly communicate its progresses with prospects.

Absence of Top Earners and Top Leaders visibility

Visible successful (top) earners are vital to any Network Marketing company. They serve not just as inspiration for prospects, but also proof of the company’s success. With a noticeable lack of top earners, Optavia – Medifast is missing out on a key aspect of its appeal.

Distributor Presence

The lack of strong presence in the industry by Optavia – Medifast’s distributors compared to Triple A grade companies adds to its challenges. A visible robust distribution network is vital to make the products more accessible and visible to consumers. Companies sharing consistently success stories are getting the eyeballs on their business opportunity.

How Optavia – Medifast could improve their visibility

Publishing success stories and company press release offer several advantages for Optavia. Here are some of the key advantages of publishing success stories and links to several high performing articles from different companies as examples of a shining marketing strategy anno 2023 :).

Inspiration Motivation, Credibility and Trust

Success stories serve as sources of inspiration and motivation for others. When people read about others who have overcome challenges and achieved their goals, they are often motivated to pursue their own aspirations. They can enhance your credibility and build trust with your audience. Real-life examples of achievements provide evidence that your strategies, products, or services are effective and can deliver results.

Social Proof and Differentiation:

Success stories provide social proof that your offerings have been valuable to others. Potential customers or clients are more likely to engage with your products or services if they see that others have benefited from them. In competitive markets, success stories can set you apart from competitors. Demonstrating your track record of achieving results can give you a unique selling point.

Overall, success stories and press releases have the power to inspire, educate, and foster connections. Whether in the business, personal development, or social spheres, sharing stories of achievement can bring about positive change and growth in Network Marketing.

Optavia – Medifast Conclusion

Based on the information provided by Business for Home, it seems that Optavia – Medifast has the potential to generate decent income for an independent distributor.

However, their limited Network Marketing transparency suggests caution when evaluating the company’s profitability for a Network Marketing Professional. The company seems to have a strategy like Network Marketing company Melaleuca:

“Do not talk about the Network Marketing opportunity, focus on the products.”

That seems not work to well anymore.
