WHAT DID YOU DO BEFORE YOU STARTED YOUR DIRECT SALES BUSINESS?
Before we started our Affiliate Marketing Business we were in high school. Mark was 19 years old and he was studying law and economics. Julia was 18 years old, studying design.
HOW DID YOU START YOUR BUSINESS ADVENTURE?
While we were studying in high school. Julia was working at a kindergarten, at a gym, a hotel, and a restaurant. After Mark sprained his right ankle when playing football in Russia, he had no choice but to take his studies seriously.
Mark realized very quickly that the teachers that were teaching him about business, had never done business before and his parents were guiding him in a direction that they heard maybe worked. They didn’t know personally any lawyers or big business owners so Mark chooses to become self-employed and opened up a cafe with his father. After a time working very hard with the cafe Mark realized that instead of reinventing the wheel without experience he needed to seek after a person that had the life we always dreamt about, a mentor, like in football.
That summer a friend introduced Mark to the network marketing industry. Mark went to a group presentation and crossed his fingers that everything that they were telling him was true, because if so, he knew that he now found the vehicle that would change Mark and Julia’s life forever, and it did.
WHAT ARE YOURS RECRUITMENT TECHNIQUES? PERSONALLY, ONLINE OR FROM THE SCENE?
You need to use all ways to communicate with people to set an appointment in real life. You can always start by building a relationship through calls and messages but B2B will give you a long and healthy relationship.
We talk to people about our vision and opportunity everywhere we go because we know what it will do for them in their lives.
JULIA LINDVALL AND MARK MAEL. PLEASE TELL US: WHY SHOULD ANYONE WORK WITH YOU?

WHAT COMPETENCIES DO YOU THINK ARE IMPORTANT IN THIS INDUSTRY? WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE DO YOU VALUE AND WHAT YOU DO NOT?
Before you judge a person, you need to understand from where there are asking their questions. All people are capable of doing multi-level marketing, you just need to ask the right questions to inspire them to start their journey.
We believe the most important competence is to know your why. Why are you building your business? Your why needs to be unshakable that whatever happens, you will keep going. When your why is unshakable you will be relentless and disciplined towards your goals and dreams.
JULIA LINDVALL AND MARK MAEL ARE EXPERTS IN AFFILIATE MARKETING. PLEASE TELL US ABOUT THIS TYPE OF BUSINESS. HOW DOES IT WORK AND WHAT EXACTLY CAPTIVATED YOU IN IT?
Affiliate Marketing system is a customer and referrer based idea, to get a discount on certain products or services. Here, in our company we took the Affiliate Marketing system to another level, we put the tier system in it. In our company, the main focus is on costumers.
The biggest difference between us doing the Affiliate Marketing system vs other MLM systems within direct sales is that we have a membership fee one time a year to get wholesale pricing on products or services, your own front, and back-office without having any additional cost every month to be able to earn a commission. We use terms as referrer instead of upline, commission plan instead of saying compensation plan. To enhance our vision with our company we need to make it simple for people to earn a commission and get residual income. Our company has taken the best with network marketing and left no other excuses on the table for people to get started in the business. We see the simplicity in our company where we get paid dollar for dollar. The key to duplication is simplicity and if you cannot understand how you make money, how can you teach other people to make the money they desire? That’s the reason why we and many other people around the world choose to join our diverse company.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE SWEDISH MARKET? WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS AND THE PECULARITIES OF IT?
All markets are the same. Time and money are never an issue, it’s only a measurement of value. Sometimes you just need to dig a little bit deeper so you can inspire and give value to a person. Background, your financial status, ethnicity, language does not matter.

Julia loves to connect with new people and present our opportunity for them while Mark loves to help them get started and help them get the right mindset so they can play the infinite game together with us. If you accept each other’s roles and desires when you work together in a business or in private life, your relationship will be the greatest you can ever experience.
