To learn more about my blog, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. If you have some questions, feel free to ask me by using my contact form. Thank and have a nice day.
Synergy One International | Synergy Global International
Please take time to read if you answer yes to any of the questions below
Ok, if you answered yes to any of those questions above then allow me to give you information about Synergy Global International.
What is Synergy Global International? What is Synergy One International?
If you will do a search about this, you will find blogs that speak ill of these companies. Well, after all they have gone through I won’t blame them. But for the sake of knowledge, let me tell you about them.
Synergy is actually a “company” that is located at 15th floor Octagon Building, San Miguel Avenue, Ortigas Pasig City. They are a company that promotes healthy and beauty products and are related to NuSkin. Well, aside from selling these products, they have another line where you can join as an affiliate and be a seller of their products.
Now as affiliates, not only do they sell products but they also sell “membership” to other people to be affiliates too. The membership fee is expensive and almost 1/2 to 1 month salary of other people and because of that, people will be reluctant to buy. That is why; they will resort to other methods to convince you.
Did a stranger contact you offering a large amount of compensation?
Imagine this, one day you are living your life and enjoying it when you suddenly get contacted by someone you don’t know. Here is a short script of what they will tell you.
Caller: Hi there, I’m blah blah blah and I heard from a friend that you are hard-working, talented and goal-oriented (insert more praises here). I have a job offer / interview with you that will make you earn at least PHP 5-15k on your first month! Would you like to join XXX?
At this point, your good nature will kick in and you will try to entertain him/her because he just praised you a lot. But you will also be curious to know more about XXX because I’m sure no one wants to go or venture into something they don’t have an idea about. So you will probably ask more about them and their company.
Caller: Oh the details are hard to explain over the phone. How about, instead, I’ll give you a personal invite to go to 15th floor octagon building and there you will know everything about us.
Now it depends whether you will agree to them or not. Basically, their next line to make you commit will be like this.
Caller: Ok, I will set a personal meeting with you at (insert date here) 7pm sharp. You know, you sound very professional so you will not bail out on this. I’m actually canceling my other meetings so that I could accommodate you.
and the praises will go on until you will finally agree to go with them.
15th Floor Octagon Building
This is the so called headquarters of the members of Synergy. Usually when they contact you either through phone or by text messages, they are going to say, “It’s hard to explain over the phone or through text, just go to 15th floor Octagon Building and you will know more about us“. You won’t be able to get much information about them because they will not tell you anything except that you have to go that place to know what exactly they are offering you, what you are going to do or what the hell they are talking about.
Now what can we expect from here?
Well, first of all, I’m sorry to say but you will not get a job interview here. Were you even asked to bring your resume?
What you will get from here is a long 2 hour video presentation about their company (similar to onboarding processes of companies). The presentation will contain their products, their goals, what you can possibly get from them, what you can earn and some pictures of their successful members. And of course, after that, their executives will try to talk you into joining and paying a membership fee for the training materials.
The fee, well, it’s not that expesnive. It’s jut PHP12,600 and since you can earn 5-15k on your first month, it’s like free money right? Well, before you agree with my statement, did you ever question on how you can earn that? So far, all you know is you can have the potential to earn that much but HOW?
By recruiting others, you will earn
I’m not so sure if you are familiar with affiliate marketing but if you are not, let me give you a quick overview. Companies are always looking for people to promote and spread the word about their product. They know that people won’t usually do this for free so they offer commissions to people to sell their product. The concept of commissions is if you are able to sell something, the company will pay you. So the more you sell, the more you earn. If you don’t sell, you don’t earn.
Actually, this is how they operate. You will get to sell products and you earn commission on them. But the bulk your income is when you can sell memberships to non members. So you need to invite a lot of people, make them go through the 2 hour long presentation and be able to convince them to shell out PHP12k so you can make a sale and get your commissions. That is how you can earn 5-15k a month or more.
Recruitment Strategies
Now that you know what you have to do in order to earn, I’m pretty sure that you won’t tell someone you are inviting that you are simply inviting them so that you can make a sale out of them and earn commissions. Instead, you will simply hide the word recruitment and replace it with words such as, job opportunities, big money earning potential, thinking for the future, easy money and other phrases that can get people to bite.
So how do you do this?
I apologize that it’s a bit generic and there are people smarter than me who can do better than that but basically, for most of them, that is their strategy.
Bloggers have been through these
Remember at the start of this post where I mentioned that if you search about this in search engines, you will find negative blog posts about Synergy One International or Synergy Global International? Well, that is because the members made a mistake by trying to recruit bloggers. Why would it be a mistake? It is because, bloggers have blogs and blogs can be read by anyone on the world wide web. Simply add a dash of SEO and bloggers can rank first in search engines.
So just a piece of advice, if you want to recruit bloggers, make sure that you get them to commit else you will then see your name and your number of the search results labeled as a scammer. ^_^
Die Hard Members
Now after discussing bloggers, let us discuss the die hard members. Of course, the internet is for everyone and not just for bloggers so we also have die hard members. They are the ones who will usually go to the blogs of the bloggers who posted negative stuffs and start insulting them, telling them they know nothing and they should just shut up. They will pick a fight with any body using their poorly constructed English sentences and their superior, I’m rich and you are not, ego personality as weapons. In a nutshell, they wish to protect their plans and their potential victims of gaining too much knowledge that they will get rejected when they invite. So they simply troll around.
If you join, will you be really earning?
Well, success is relative to your effort. For example, in regular 8-5 jobs, if you don’t strive hard or do your best, you won’t get bonuses or promotions so you will not be earning much. It is the same with affiliate marketing, you can’t just sit down and wait for money to come rolling in. You have to strive hard to get as much commissions as you can so that you can earn. Affiliate marketing is not a fixed source of income. Your income is proportional to the effort you are giving it so your success depends on you actually.
Conclusion
I thank you all for reading this very long write-up of mine and I hope you have learned something. I would like to clarify that I never mentioned in this post that Synergy One International is a scam. I hope you have read everything to agree with me that it is their recruiting strategy that is very questionable and very deceptive.
For those who have been invited, after reading this, I hope you will make the right choice and you will not regret it. If you wish to join, go ahead and may you be successful. If you don’t wish to join, then good for you. Think of the opportunity they offer you as a gamble.
For the members of Synergy reading this, well, if you want to insult or bash me by writing this post, go ahead. I will not stop you nor moderate your comments.
For my fellow bloggers, I hope you will spread the word about this and let everyone in your niche know more about this so that they will be informed on stuffs like this.
I hope you all enjoyed reading this. Have a great weekend everyone!
Update: Ah! If you want to read more personal experience with Synergy One International or Synergy Global International, I recommend you visit the blog titled, Beware of NuSkin. It is a blog created to spread the word of their deceptions because a fellow Filipino flew from Mindanao to Manila hoping to get a decent job but got something else instead.

1hehe.. binuhay mo yung old synergy post mo ah. May friend na rin akong naging biktima neto. Heehee..
I agree with what you said that their strategy is very questionable and very deceptive. Parang online survey na magbabayad muna ng $49.95 before doing the job. Nyok.. sa google nga mag e earn ka ng $1000 to $10,000 monthly without registration fees. Yung ibang tao ang daling maloko.. arrghhh!
