1. Watch out for smoke and mirrors travel deals!

Many companies include a FREE holiday or a voucher with your initial purchase to join their company.  It sounds enticing but how real is it?

The simple question to ask is WHAT would happen IF everyone decided to take up the FREE holiday?

The reality is in most cases the company has purchased a block of weeks at a selection of resorts for a price and they put lots of criteria in place to make it difficult to book, or you find it is very difficult to find any availability.  They do NOT want people to take up the offer because if more people do take up the offer they end up losing money because the company has to spend MORE money purchasing more holidays with NO extra revenue coming in. The reality is they aim for less than 2% of people redeeming the FREE vacation!

In contrast Lekker International offers a Holiday Reward Voucher via our travel partner RewardsCorp where they want everyone to redeem the voucher because they make money when the voucher is purchased by the companyLekker, and they make more money from the hotel or resort when the person redeems the voucher. Lekker also wants MORE people using the vouchers because it creates more real testimonials that showcase the value of the vouchers.

In fact the hotels and resorts LIKE RewardsCorp because they pay either BEFORE or  AS SOON AS the customer stays unlike online booking sites that pay often up to 90 days after the customer stays.  RewardsCorp’s patented system also serves to protect the price integrity of the accommodation providers while creating massive exposure to large databases at no cost to the hotels or resorts….a truly win-win outcome!

Benefit for Lekker Associates: You have a genuine, quality travel experience at a price that is guaranteed to be the lowest possible.

2.  Best price guarantee!

The Lekker Holiday Rewards Voucher offer Euro for Euro value off the BEST flexible price in the market…..GUARANTEED!  The Lekker BONUS packages with lots of value added inclusions also offer a price guarantee and very soon to be launched a AUD$500 saving off every package holiday listed.

The price guarantee is based on the best FLEXIBLE rate, NOT a rack rate which is the top price that no one really ever pays!  This means that if you need to change your booking there are typically no penalties.

RewardsCorp has invested millions of dollars to build all their booking and reservation systems in house with a further investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars more paying for what is called API links.  This means that where possible RewardsCorp links directly to the booking system of the hotel or resort so that the pricing displayed on the RewardsCorp site matches the pricing of the resort or hotel.

Benefit for Lekker Associates: You have a genuine, quality travel experience at at the lowest  price  that is guaranteed to the lowest possible.

3. You have 12 months to book with 18 month to travel so you have lots of time to plan a dream vacation in hundreds of resorts and hotels in some of the most popular tourism destinations in the world.

What’s even better is you have the ability to view the availability, pricing, etc online so you know exactly what you are getting even before you join or pay any money to be involved with Lekker.

Benefit for Lekker Associates: Maximum choice and flexibility.

4. Reputable travel provider

RewardsCorp is a fully licensed travel provider and is participating with the “Travel Compensation Fund”, an industry initiative created to provide protection for consumers where they will be compensated if a travel supplier is unable to provide the travel product the consumer paid for.

Recently when RewardsCorp signed an agreement with Optus, Australia’s second largest phone company, they had to go through 12 months of scrutiny, audits and legal checks before the agreement could be signed.  How many travel suppliers could stand up to such scrutiny?  RewardsCorp similarly did their own research on Lekker International before choosing to be involved with Lekker and are very happy with what they found.

Benefit for Lekker Associates: RewardsCorp is an extremely solid and credible travel partner with a wealth of industry experience.

4.  It’s the little things that count!

Often even the best planned vacation can result in upset and a bad experience.  For example visiting the beautiful island of Bali in Indonesia can start out as a dream destination until you spend an hour or more in ques going through immigration, customs, etc in hot, humid conditions. RewardsCorp is aware of this so they include an express service in Lekker Bonus Packages to Bali where you avoid any lengthy delays at the airport.

If you visit Fiji, a beautiful tropical island destination in the Pacific, you may find yourself sitting in a hot and humid airport for hours waiting for your flight.  RewardsCorp have built their own air-conditioned lounge for clients likeusing Lekker Bonus Packages  so you can have a memorable experience.  In fact they went the extra mile and purchased NEW motor vehicles for Bali and Fiji to transport their customers in comfort.

Benefit for Lekker Associates: Bottom line: Lekker is offering a REAL value offering that enables people to create a luxury travel experience at a very affordable price resulting in memories to last a lifetime!

Our GOLD RUSH promotion enables people to receive 400 Euros of Lekker Holiday Reward Vouchers as a thank for purchasing a GOLD Lekker Lifestyle Pack for 250 Euros providing 12 months of benefits.

Prior to all this traveling my perception of Africa was largely one tainted by the media….corruption, war, famine, civil war, third world, poverty, lack of opportunity!  I am sure many non-Africans would have had the same view.

My experience though has been very different.  I have found Africa a continent full of incredible opportunities fueled by close to a billion people who are prepared to work hard to advance, and do not take life ad its opportunities for granted.  I found people friendly, kind and hospitable.  The work ethic and entrepreneurial drive to “just get the job done” inspired me.

Anthony Robbins, a world recognized personal development guru said people often blame their failure on a lack of resources but the truth is it is due to a lack of resourcefulness!

Africa is a place where being resourcefulness is a necessity, not a cliche.  I have seen people without computer, without internet, without money, get resourceful, band together with others to leverage resources in order to become successful enough to afford the resources.

It is hard for many to believe that an online company like Lekker International would not only start in Africa, but succeed in Africa, when the internet penetration is 5-10% of the population, where up to 50% do not have a bank account and up to 80% or more do not have a credit card.

It is all about being resourceful. Lekker’s own management team proved it also can be resourceful.

In October, 2009, the management team all met in Cape Town on the invitation of Michael Faust to discuss the creation of Lekker International.  October, 2010, was the next time all 4 of the original founders and executive team have been in the same place at the same time. It has proven that you can create a successful international company that has attracted members in over 44 countries in just 7 months by being resourceful, innovative, and willing to think outside the box.

As Lekker now moves into the Australian market place it will be strengthened in the knowledge that it has gained success in Africa with the many challenges- and fantastic opportunities -  that come with this exciting market place.

Would you like to break free of your current atmosphere and be released of life’s gravitational pull, to view your world from new heights where there are endless possibilities?

Well become a Lekker Astronaut, jump on board the Lekker Rocket, and fuel up for an exciting ride.

The most amount of fuel is used in breaking through gravity and your current atmosphere. You have to be fully committed and fueled up if your launch is to be successful.

Stage 1 is simply getting on board… JOIN Lekker, strap yourself in, learn how to push the LAUNCH button, and start telling the world about your impending journey with Lekker!

The more people you share with and the more excited you are the quicker you will earn immediate rewards through the Fast Start Bonuses, paid on every personally introduced Associate that purchases our Lifestyle Packs. This will help you start the lift off and start to break free of gravity.

Stage 2 is where you need to teach others how to do what you have done and this will start generating weekly Euro income via the Team Building Bonus. This is where you truly see progress as you start to break through the atmosphere. It requires the MOST amount of fuel but the rewards are worth it. Now your weekly and monthly needs can be met and you can choose whether you want to go full-time riding the Lekker Rocket.

For many this will be their time they have experienced breaking free of the heavy atmosphere of their life! They can look out at the amazing world below with fresh eyes and see its wonder and magnificence. Just like an astronaut you see the world from a whole new perspective. You marvel at the world in a new way and can’t wait to see and experience more it. Now you can use your Travel Credits at Stage 3 and explore the world.

Stage 4 is when you want to announce to the world about your new life. The Lifestyle Bonus that pays for a new car is a tangible way to demonstrate your success and there is no doubt that you will feel more successful driving around in your new Lekker car.

The first 4 rewards are the “Lifestyle Rewards“, all aimed at getting you out from under life’s gravitational pull!

The next phase is about viewing the world in a way that allows you to focus on the world at large. You take the focus off your own immediate needs and recognize you contribute to others and impact their lives powerfully.

Stage 5 is the Wealth Management Fund, about building long term wealth, the sort of wealth that is tangible, can be passed on to future generations, wealth that can endure.

Stage 6 is the Leadership Events, which is about mixing it with your peers, with mentors and coaches that can teach you things you know you didn’t know, and more importantly, things you didn’t know you didn’t know so you can be more effective in everything you do. It is a time to also celebrate your success in style and experience new possibilities of what life can be like when money and time do not dictate life’s important decisions.

The final stage, Stage 7, is the Rhodium Club, the pinnacle of success in Lekker. You are now earning a share of the total company revenue. Your realize the more Lekker succeeds the more you succeed. Rhodium offers privileges and benefits that are exclusive and significant that recognize this great achievement.

The most exciting thing is that you only need to personally introduce TWO people to Lekker and help them to ride the Lekker Rocket to success and you in turn will be enjoying a new life looking at your world from new heights knowing anything is possible.

Let me share a few ways  I have dealt with this question during my 20 years in the Network Marketing industry.

The first question I have to ask is what do you believe?

Do you believe with all your being, with every fiber in your body that you are in a legitimate. legal business?

Why?

I have found in my 20 years in MLM that if you have any doubts about the legitimacy of this industry or your opportunity you will more than likely project that to others and attract responses from others that validate what you believe.  You will be like a magnet attracting other disbelievers.

STEP #1:  AVOID THE BATTLE

The most important this is do NOT get defensive and make the person raising the question or objection look WRONG and you RIGHT!

Because even if you win, you LOSE!

Success in this industry is about relationships and the best way to break down a relationship is to make people WRONG and you RIGHT.

This is also NOT a time to show people how much you KNOW!

Too often people start into a long winded explaination that the armed forces, corporations, etc are all like a pyramid.  They start giving technical explainations of their marketing plan and how you can earn more than your sponsor so how it can be a pyramid.  They say we have a product and pyramids just move money around and the person at the top always earn more than those under him in the organisation structure.

All accurate facts but this does little to impress people.  The more you get into a debate the more you open it up for them to throw more questions are you and the more defensive you get.

Before you know it you are putting on your lawyers wig, gathered up your legal counsel, books, and arguments and getting into a full on legal argument with an aim to WIN at all costs to defend your business and it’s reputation.

STEP #2: SEEK TO UNDERSTAND

Don’t take this the wrong way but the truth is, “you really don’t know WHY they said it looks like a pyramid!”

- maybe they like pyramid schemes and are looking for a good one..lol
- it may be a way of stalling making a decision about getting involved with your opportunty
- they may have genuine concerns about how legimate your opportunity is?
- they may have read negative press about our industry
- they may have had well meaning friends, family and work colleagues fill thier head full of doubt about our industry

The point is you do NOT know EXACTLY what they mean?

SEEK TO UNDERSTAND.

Simply say, “ummm, not sure what you mean?  What do you mean it looks like a Pyramid?  I really want to understand your question so I can answer you properly.”

The hardest thing for most Network Marketers to do after saying this is to actually SHUT UP!

They are so keen to share their view on the topic and seldom actually LISTEN and SEEK TO UNDERSTAND the question.

I love it when people ask this question because at least they are thinking and it gives me an opportunity to clear up any misinformation about our industry.

In most cases they just want to know, “Is this legal because I don’t want to look foolish or embarrassed with others if it turns out to be scam!”

STEP 3: HOW TO RESPOND

1. KEEP YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR

“Actually it’s the best pyramid around and that’s why I came to you first!”

STOP, pause and wait for a response.

Then smile and say, “Of course it’s not a pyramid you goose.  I wouldn’t risk our friendship introducing a pyramid scheme to you. Now we have that sorted what did you like most about Lekker?  The weekly Euro income or the great travel deals?”

OR “You could say, well I know Lekker sends people to the pyramids.  Does that make it a pyramid scheme”

Keep your sense of humor.  Make light of it, move on to a positive topic and get them back to looking at what the opportunity can do for them.  If you get all serious they will too.

2. USE THE FEEL, FELT, FOUND APPROACH

How to Respond to a person’s questions, issues, doubts or concerns about any aspect of Lekker.

Be Bold – Ask them:  “Have you got any doubts at all that Lekker is right for you at his time?”  You will be seen and understood to be open and empathetic – because you are!

90% of the time you will be able to personally relate to whatever the person says.  If you don’t understand their concern then ask more open questions until you do…

Once you appreciate and understand their concern try the following three-step ‘Feel, Felt, Found’ approach:

Step 1 – FEEL:  “I know how you FEEL.  I understand what you mean and are saying…”

Step 2 – FELT:  “I FELT the same emotions/experiences…”

Step 3 – FOUND:  “What I FOUND after looking at the facts/talking to others etc,  was…”

Examples

• I understand you feel about that. Many others have felt the same way. And what they have found is that….
• I know how you feel that it looks expensive. I was talking to someone yesterday who felt the same when they first looked at it. But when they understood the benefits they found that it was excellent value.
• You know I feel the same about products like this when I first see them. I felt the same recently when I bought my new car. But when I took it home for the weekend, I found that everyone I know was so envious.

How it works

By empathizing with how the other person feels, you are building harmony with them to create rapport. When you talk about how somebody else felt, you move the focus to a more objective place which they are likely to trust more. This also makes them a part of a group such that they do not feel alone.

FINAL NOTE: It’s a sifting and sorting business!  Don’t get invested in WHO is interested and WHO is NOT.  Find the people hungry for success, ready to take ACTION to better their lives, people with OPEN minds.

The response you get may be in how you are presenting Lekker.  Use the professional tools at your disposal like the website, DVD, PowerPoint, Webianrs, etc that give a comprehensive overview of Lekker.

I also recommend getting in touch with your upline support leaders and get some coaching and also involve them with a few approaches to people to get some positive results so you learn how to be effective.

If you adopt these strategies you will be much more powerful in dealing with objections.

I often get asked, “What is Lekker?”  “What are you marketing?”

Lekker is about fulfilling HOPES and DREAMS and CREATING a SENSE OF BELONGING!

What does that mean?

Well many people would say Lekker is about travel and helping people save money on their travel costs!

That is something we do but it is NOT our identity.

Yes, Lekker can save you lots of money on your travel but as long as you are fixed on budgeting, saving, and discounts, you are still focusing on LACK OF FINANCES and a type of travel experience that does little to inspire people.

Everyone wants to SAVE money on what they purchase.  Even the wealthiest people want a good deal.

But what people really want is to travel to places they have dreamed about all their lives, to experience a vacation they thought only the rich and famous enjoy, to be pampered and treated like a VIP!

Think about it.  Paris is the number ONE most desired travel destination in the world!

Why?

Because it’s the cleanest city in the world…NO.  Because it’s the safest city in the world…NO.  Because it’s the cheapest place to visit in the world….NO!

People dream of going to Paris because deep down everyone is a hopeless romantic who wants to sit under the Eiffel Tower drinking coffee at eating croissants at a cafe listening to people speak French, the language of love, to see beautiful women wearing the latest fashion, to experience all the things they only saw on the television or in a magazine.

Lekker is about helping people experience luxury vacations at great hotels and resorts at rates they never thought possible, perhaps even have that dream experience paid for by Lekker.  It’s about families going away and creating memories to last a life time.  It’s about experiencing new culture, food, fashion, and new scenery that brings all your senses alive.

It’s about escaping the boredom and stress of every day life and being able to STOP long enough to just live in the moment without worrying about what you need to accomplish next just to survive!

Tell me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure I am right.  What I described sounds much more exciting that “we sell cheap holidays” OR “we can save you money on a hotel room”.

Lekker provides an opportunity for everyone to experience a luxury vacation in an exotic location at affordable prices and do it year after year, after year. You can outlay 250 Euros for entry to Lekker at the GOLD level and get back 450 Euros of voucher value to  redeem against the BEST price in the market….guaranteed….at more than 400 resorts and hotels in some of the most desirable destinations in the world and you have 18 months to use that voucher.

And if you simply share this highly desirable proposition with other people you can start receiving the Lekker Rewards that have the potential to enlarge your dreams from not only a great vacation, but perhaps driving the car you dream of, living in the house you would love to wake up in every day, to maybe even enjoying the freedom of working from home with a level of freedom your current occupation will probably never provide.

While many of our competitors spend all their time trying to find products to try and add some validity to their opportunity Lekker will continue to grow with a clear identity of fulfilling HOPES and DREAMS and CREATING a SENSE OF BELONGING!

Michael Faust: Yes of course! Thank you Bukola. I am a 47 year old father of 2 married for 22 years and living in Australia. I’ve been self employed nearly my entire adult life, 20 years of that working in the Network Marketing industry working first as a distributor, then corporate executive and consultant, and now I own my own Network Marketing Business. I‘m passionate about helping people fulfill their full potential in life through self empowerment and self employment.

Bukola Idowu: We understand that you are the president of Lekker International, can you tell us in brief what the company is all about?

Michael Faust: Lekker is a travel and lifestyle business. I started Lekker because I love working from home. I’ve worked from home for the past 20 years and I want to keep doing that!, And I love to travel. Through Lekker, I want to create a business opportunity that allows others to have a similar lifestyle and make money by sharing it with other friends. Lekker offers “member only” access to fantastic savings and benefits on travel, leisure and lifestyle products through strategic partnerships that we have developed with large wholesale travel suppliers and innovative travel rewards companies like RewardsCorp. RewardsCorp have a patented travel solution that Lekker has gained exclusivity to for the Network Marketing industry. Our members (also called Associates) share the business opportunity and benefits with others and we compensate them for their marketing efforts. We have the most generous rewards program of any network marketing business that I know of that offers the ability to earn weekly Euro income, qualify for travel credits toward luxury vacations on a regular basis and even qualify for rewards that will see them driving a new car. We support our Associates with a suite of online and offline marketing tools and training to help them with their promotional efforts. Associates can choose to be involved part-time or full-time and can introduce other Associates anywhere in the world resulting in the ability to develop a global business working from home or wherever you want to work from!.

Bukola Idowu: A lot of people believe Lekker International is another copy-cat. What do you have to say to that?

Michael Faust: That doesn’t bother me at all. When you are successful you will always have your critics. Lekker is the result of 20 years of careful observation and critique of the Network Marketing Business. My business partners and I studied what worked well and what didn’t work. We then used this research to create what we believe will become the benchmark company in the industry. There are of course aspects of Lekker that are similar to other programs because those aspects have been proven to work well over a long period of time. However, you will also find that Lekker has been very innovative in so many areas. We have a patented travel product and partnerships with exemplary travel providers who are invested and committed to the success of Lekker. RewardsCorp has invested significant resources and money to help Lekker provide a market leading travel offering. Our Rewards Program has been developed to remove all the obstacles and complexity of other programs so that MORE people can earn MORE money, MORE easily, MORE often. And our management team is unique because we have many decades of collective experience building successful international network marketing teams, consulting to industry and government, owning and operating successful companies in many parts of the world, as well as presenting and training 10,000′s of people around the world. We are particularly pleased with our strategic partnership with Towah, a market leader in the supply of ewallet and pre-paid MasterCard solutions for Network Marketing. This enables us to provide solutions to markets like Africa and India where access to banking and credit cards is limited. They say there is NO substitute for EXPERIENCE and there is no doubt that the experience of the people behind Lekker will continue to see it be a market leading, innovative company that others will follow and try to copy!

Bukola Idowu: Great! we understand that the company went on soft launch early this year, the official launch we also understand will take place next month across various countries in Africa. How many countries are you looking at for the launch in October?

Michael Faust: Our October African tour will see Lekker touring Namibia, Ghana, Nigeria and then South Africa. Lekker is now open for business in all countries, however these 4 countries have been creating the most growth in our ‘soft launch’ period.

Bukola Idowu: You are part of the team that will visit these countries, when are you coming to Nigeria?

Michael Faust: I am visiting Nigeria from the 14th to the 16th October and will be conducting a public presentation and training event on Saturday the 16th.

Bukola Idowu: Can you give us the details of the events as in which City, which venue and what the associates in the country should be looking forward to?

Michael Faust: All the details of the tour can be found at www.lekkerevents.com. The Saturday event in Lagos will start with a 90 minute overview of Lekker explaining our 5 P’s. The Product, the Rewards Plan, the People behind Lekker, the Potential, and the Philosophy that underpins everything Lekker creates and stands for. I will then conduct a training session to teach people how to get off to a quick and successful start with Lekker. This will be followed by another session for those that may want to be more seriously involved where I will share simple and effective strategies that can create incomes of 100,000 Euros or more through Lekker. Of course we cannot make guarantees of income because we cannot guarantee a person will do the work required, however we have achieved these outcomes previously and already have associates in Lekker on track to achieve these incomes.

Bukola Idowu: So we hope to see you live in Nigeria come October 14th-16th because some people still believe all the presentations will be done via video

Michael Faust: I can assure your people I will be there in the flesh! Why wouldn’t I? I love to travel and meet the people that can help make Lekker a success story. I know how important it is for those people get to meet the individuals behind the company, to catch their vision, to see what we stand for. This is another thing that differentiates Lekker from so many other companies. Lekker is very transparent about our management model and our management team, and making them accessible. If you are prepared to place your hopes and dreams with a company, and promote it to your friends, then you want to be 100% sure you are with the RIGHT company.

Bukola Idowu: Any last words for the people out there?

Michael Faust: Only this. The world has changed dramatically in the last 18 months. Global melt down, iconic companies and banks failing or struggling to survive, unemployment on the rise, governments in deep debt, a lot of uncertainty. Traditional career paths that were once regarded as secure and safe are now on shaky grounds. At Lekker we have turned that into a positive. Network Marketing is one of the ONLY legitimate opportunities that allows someone with a very small investment of just 100 Euros, and some spare time, to start generating an income that can grow to become a full-time, life changing income that has the potential to revolutionize lifestyles. Regardless of what others may have told you, the life changing opportunities offered by Network Marketing are real if you are prepared to put in some work. I have seen that over and over again. 20 years ago I had a traditional business that was sending me broke fast, had a stutter (speech impediment), and I had never traveled overseas. But thanks to this industry, I have worked from home for the past 20 years, traveled to more than 25 countries, and met more than 50,000 people as a competent presenter and trainer. This industry changes lives. If you are ready to take control of your future and dream again, then grab hold of Lekker and give it all you have got for a minimum one year. I can assure you your life will never be the same!

He emailed those 20 people and told them, “If you love this song, pass it on to 6 friends. If you don’t country and western pass it on to 6 people who do.”

In the next 30 days 3 million people had listened to her song. The rest is history!

What does this have to do with you, Lekker and 6.8 billion people.

Download our new Flyer, “Are you feeling on top of the world” to get a visual idea.

Lekker is conducting 12 events in 9 cities in 4 countries over 2 weeks. Those 9 cities alone have a population of 37 million people.   The four countries being visited have a total population of 233 million. Those 4 countries belong to a continent of more than 1 billion people and that continent is part of a global population of 6.8 billion forecast to reach 9 billion in the next few decades.

How do you reach 6.8 billion people?

It starts with YOU!

You invite everyone you know in those 9 cities and neighboring towns.  From those who join Lekker they will tell others in other parts of those 4 countries who will in turn tell others in other countries and so it goes…..global exposure.

Twenty years ago I entered Network Marketing and shared my new opportunity with a friend.  He told someone he had met called Peter.  Peter was a fellow health practitioner like me and he loved the idea of the products but he was NOT your a-typical candidate for “most likely to succeed in Network Marketing!”

He was an alternative thinker, bit of a hippie, very relaxed, nice guy, into saving the world, loved his veges, and wanted to save the world.

However Peter’s wife, Carmel, was a strong woman who mixed with a group of other strong women.  They saw the opportunity and ran with it and within 6 months Peter’s team created 75% of my income!

What’s my point!

I did not know Peter. Adam did.  I did not know Carmel. Peter did….intimately.  Carmel and her friends created a large network that spread all over Australian and made me a lot of money!

It’s NOT who you know.  It about the people your friends know, and who they know, and who they know.

What’s even more significant is I achieved that result BEFORE the internet, before email, before Facebook, before sms, before cheap phone call….when it was video and audio cassettes and printed materials….for those old enough to remember what a video cassette was

Imagine what you can do today with the power of the internet, mobile phones, and good old word of mouth.

So how do you have any chance of exposing potentially 6.8 billion people to Lekker?

It starts with YOU, you then invite people to the official launch events, and after that , who knows what…it could be out of your control because viral marketing may have taken over.

And as a result one day you may wake up and find yourself the proud owner of a new lifestyle where money and time are NO longer being a factor in your daily decisions, where you have the freedom to dictate how you spend each day, and where you are truly making a difference in the world.

So start sharing Lekker by having people visit your website, attend a webinar (live online presentation) and sending them to www.lekkerevents.com to they can get the details of our “official launch
tour events!

How do you reach 6.8 billion people? It all starts with YOU!

I have been asked WHY am I so confident that LEKKER will be a huge success in Nigeria?

Let me share.

In June, 2007, I was contracted to be the “International Director Of Sales and Marketing” for a travel focused Networking company that had grown from 0 to more than 250,000 members in a very short time. More than 60,000 members were in Nigeria. That led me to travel to Nigeria for the first time to do a series of events in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt. In fact it was my first trip to Africa.

I learned on that trip that Nigerians are very industrious, hard working and are great Network Marketers.

However I also saw many things that were NOT good.

I saw endless copy cat companies offering travel entering Nigeria mainly using ‘board’ or ‘revolving matrix’ compensation plans which I observed to only reward a small few at the expense of the majority, and nearly all of them floundering after 12-18 months of starting. I have shared my views on this quite strongly on my other blog.

Nearly all these companies were run as faceless entities hidden behind off shore companies where no one knew who was behind them…a ploy to avoid scrutiny, and most of them offering sub standard travel product to try and give some legitimacy to the income plan.

In July, 2008, I helped co-found a NEW travel focused company that began with significant growth in Nigeria again and then into South Africa. This led to two more trips to Nigeria, a trip to Cameroon, Kenya, Mauritius, Egypt, and 3 trips to South Africa resulting in my family moving to Cape Town, South Africa for 6 months in 2009.

To allow MORE people to earn MORE money MORE often we researched the industry to find out which marketing plan would achieve these outcomes. We chose a binary marketing plan and it proved to pay out millions of dollars to many people who had never experienced success before.

Nigeria has become the dominant market in that company led by strong leadership from the members.

I saw local Nigerian leaders put on first class events and show me that Nigerians can match it with the best Network Marketers in the world.

However it is hard to steer your own ship as a minority owner and it has always been a dream to create my own company, choose the best crew to sail the journey with me, and help me draw on my 20 years of experience to create a company that was a world leader!

Lekker is the result of that dream, drive, ambition, burning desire to create something that would be the accumulation of all the things I love and found to work in this industry while avoiding all the things I knew hindered people’s success.

Lekker is perfect for Nigeria because it brings ALL the things that NO other Network Marketing company has in Nigeria.

African experience:

I have spent 9 months of the last 2 years in Africa traveling all over the continent. In fact I have traveled to more than 25 countries presenting and training to more than 50,000 people so I have global experience that will help Nigerians as they expand their business with Lekker outside Nigeria.

Lekker specifically soft launched in South Africa to test the waters and build systems that work in Africa. We wanted to get it right before we approach the more than 150 million Nigerians to ensure we did NOT follow the path of so many predecessors that came with lots of ‘promise’ but failed to deliver!

Real products that sizzle:

As mentioned previous travel related companies chose travel because it was an easy product to tag on to a compensation plan to give the appearance of legitimacy but when you paid your money and found out what product was really on offer it more than often failed to impress.

Lekker has a multi-million dollar travel partner that as a history of producing innovative, world class solutions…so unique that they got patents in a number of markets around the world. RewardsCorp only deals with reputable brands that are the cream of the crop in the tourism industry like Sheraton, Westin, Protea, Accor, Le Meridien and other world leading suppliers.

With clients like Toyota, Vodafone and other well know iconic companies RewardsCorp has gained a reputation as a leader in the creation of travel based rewards programs that offer compelling marketing solutions.

RewardsCorp researched Network Marketing and came to the conclusion that it is a credible, and exciting industry with great potential to expand their market share. They had also observed many of the travel related companies that had entered Nigeria and felt they had the perfect product that would be the first to offer a product that had true, intrinsic value.

RewardsCorp reviewed numerous companies in our industry and when they met Lekker they immediately recognized a similar vision and gave Lekker exclusive rights for Network Marketing to their patented solution.

The end result is Lekker offers Nigerians the ability to get involved with a credible company like Lekker for as little as N20,000 and get that N20,000 back immediately as credit towards their next vacation with the credit coming off the lowest price at more than 400 high quality resorts and hotels in many of the world’s most popular travel destinations….guaranteed!

For those who want to enjoy all the product benefits and access all 7 Rewards on offer you can spend N50,000 and get N90,000 in travel vouchers to use immediately or use any time over the next 18 months!

I have 100% belief that Lekker will be a raging success in Nigeria because it has all the attributes that have been lacking from previous companies entering Nigeria and the people behind Lekker understand the Nigerian market.

More importantly Lekker is working with local Nigerians to identify what local product solutions can be added to the already highly attractive product portfolio, so the value proposition becomes even stronger.

Lekker WILL be a success in Nigeria and I am looking for people who recognize this, want to position themselves NOW and work with me to grow Lekker into the most successful company of it’s kind to enter Nigeria.

Lekker is already open for business in Nigeria and is now preparing for a visit to Lagos in mid-October where I will be working with local leaders conducting presentations and training sessions to ignite a wave of momentum and success that will spread to all corners of Nigeria.

If you looking for a company founded by REAL people who understand the needs of Nigerians, a REAL product that offers impeccable value and benefits, a REAL rewards program that helps MORE people earn MORE money MORE often, and a company with REAL potential and a PHILOSOPHY that nurtures hopes and dreams, and builds community, then jump on the Lekker juggernaut!

Hopes and dreams are precious things – so easily broken and lost – yet so powerful that even a glimpse of realising a hope or a dream can inspire a person to move mountains.  Just look at a person’s body language when they have real hope that the future is bright, or when a dream is being fulfilled.  They have spring in their step, they stand up tall, and there is an energy about them.  It’s infectious.

This is why at Lekker we value each and every Associate. We’re creating an environment that nurtures dreams, builds hope, and gives people a place to belong where they feel valued.  We’re building a global community that raises up champions who can impact the lives of others.

I know personally just how much Network Marketing can change a person’s life, not just financially, but in ways you never could anticipate.

Twenty years ago I entered this industry at a time when I had a stutter, a speech impediment, that made it difficult to even say my name when meeting people.  A year later I spoke at a national convention in front of 600 people teaching them how to introduce my company to others!  In the last 3 years I have spoken to tens of thousands of people all around the world.

Twenty years ago my traditional business was devastated by factors beyond my control and I was getting deeper in debt by the day.  Network Marketing gave me hope and within a few months we were back on track making more money than we ever had before.  For the last 20 years I have worked from home and enjoyed a wonderful marriage and quality time with my two children.

Twenty years ago I had never travelled overseas and now with Network Marketing I have travelled to more than 25 countries usually ‘all expenses paid’ by the companies I represented.  I have created memories that will last a lifetime!

This is why our management team at Lekker understands the incredible opportunity we have to foster hopes and dreams and why we take that responsibility so seriously.

When you choose a Network Marketing company, make sure you take time to see who is behind the company, what is their vision, what is their history, what do they stand for, and what do they want to create?

Our mandate is clear.  Lekker is committed to helping people live a “Lekker Life”.  A life where hopes and dreams are realised and where you feel good about the community belong to!

To your success.

Warm regards

Michael Faust, President of Lekker International
