- Are you curious on what the real deal is with Synergy One International or Synergy Global International and why I bother blogging about this?
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?
- First, start by getting a lot of contacts that you can contact then starting contacting them.
- You have to start the call by using praises about them even if you don’t know them. Tell them that they are DEDICATED, HARDWORKING, GOAL ORIENTED, HANDSOME, and GULLIBLE. Tell them that you got your info from a friend, headhunter, friend of a friend or even from your dog.
- Now if they start asking questions, try to change the topic or simply tell them that it is easier for a horse to fit inside the head of a needle than for you to answer their inquiries over the phone or through text. Tell them that it is very complicated however…
- You are supposed to be a busy man (remember you have to call a lot of people) so simply invite them over to 15th floor Octagon building so that all their questions will be answered. No more, no less! Remember that, the less they know about your company and what your ultimate motive is, the better.
- Since you are a terribly busy man, you should tell them that you are giving them an opportunity to earn a lot of money and you are doing your best to sacrifice time from your busy schedule just to give them this (make them feel important and loved). Your goal here is to make them commit into coming to your base!
- If they say yes that they will go, you have to ask all your fellow members to help you make him shell out his cash when he is already at your base. Make sure that when he leaves the 15th floor octagon building, he has lost 12k or you have his word that he will join and pay up.
- After the deed is done, smile and repeat again from step one. Easy money baby!
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.

hehe.. 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!

Hi there, thanks for the comment. If you can share what they share to us, we can make an information campaign against them.

I just bumped into an old classmate way back elementary at SM Megamall, and after a few minutes of hi and hello, of course it will direct to the question like what is your job now? etc, etc., She just mention about their office somewhere in Ortigas. When I start asking about it she just told me, she will text me some other time. . Then I go on shopping. After couple of weeks she start texting me, about the FREELANCE thing. . I start to question about the exact things that they do and what is the job in stored for me. Same thing, she starts to answer me in General nothing specific and same as what t mentioned she will just insist to come at their office because its hard to explain over the phone. I run into an idea that it is a PYRAMIDING SCAM. . . Because the details are quiet the same with what my best friend gone through. When I start to ask for some question she will answer it in a very vague way and again insist to come at their office. I didn’t thought of that way at first because with the personality my classmate has, being a valedictorian i don’t think she will result to just that kind of work. I told her I don’t want to go into things I don’t have any idea of.. Then before getting off our house today, I tried to search for their company ans here’s I found. I don’t have anything against my old classmate, but I think it’s not fair asking someone for their time and later “MONEY” without them knowing what it is all about. You can gain money by giving your best no matter how small your earning is, but not by DECEIVING other people… I just hope people are smarter now. Shelling out even half of your earnings for nothing is not a good way of letting people earn. It’s the fruit of your labor let others reap their own fruits as well..

oh well. nothing against on the company, nor you, nor how the company invites but ..
Look, when you go there, you lose nothing. seriously, just check out on the facts, and they won’t even force you to join. they’ll just present to you the facts. Weird thing is, THEY DONT EVEN FORCE YOU. And the weirder thing is, HOW COME YOU GUYS DIDN’T EVEN BOTHER CHECKING OUT ON THE DETAILS?
Well actually, synergy global according to my CREDIBLE research is that synergy is the company that provides trainings and the system to the distributors of Nu Skin Enterprises. and truthfully, san ka naman makakakita ng MNCs na ididiscuss sayo yung details over the phone?
and yung regarding sa “membership fee” na sinasabi niyo, you’re not paying for a MEMBERSHIP FEE. but you actually become a customer, you buy the products worth 12.6K. and that’s where things get started.
and obviously, their inviting strategy is not deceptive. its just that they are being fair with you to present you the BIGGER picture of the business project. And kung sino man sainyo na “JOB INTERVIEW” daw ung sinabi sa kanila is, well, you’re dead wrong. liar. :)). it’s not employment-based, its a project-based actually. And sa nagsabi siguro nun sainyo, well, malamang wala na un sa nu skin, kase bano, ANG BOBO. :)).
And lastly, I find it weird that people are thanking this blog for no whatever reasons. I mean, pwede ka namang pumunta sa appointment na yun? and then kung ayaw mo, eh di wag, okay lang. hindi ka naman icoconvince? tsaka kung pumunta ka naman, walang mawawala sayo e. I guess its just so true that FILIPINOS ARE POOR BECAUSE THEY MAKE POOR CHOICES. not all but for most of you filipinos. I just remember nung nainvite ako, I just thought na “titignan ko muna, mamaya na kita hihindian”.
Well, I hope I served you guys a lesson. I’m not part of NSE anyway, I was invited before, but I just gave my friend the spot. its just that I did credible research on the company. The company is great, the system of the company is great, but oh well, dahil lang siguro sa TANGA YUNG MGA TAO. :p.
