Retirement - Life Part II

So, I've been working 32 years April 15th for the same company....everyone wants to know "When are you going to retire???"  Good question!  As many of you have already discovered, retirement does NOT mean you don't have to work!  Few can afford to actually not work when they retire.  So, I'm starting a new business to help me acheive retirement and work on my own terms rather than someone else's.  What is this new business you might ask.....

Market America - the Mall Without Walls

Who We Are Market America, Inc. is a dynamic and innovative product brokerage and Internet marketing company that specializes in One-to-One Marketing.

With more than 3 million customers and 180,000 Independent Distributors worldwide, Market America has generated over $2.5 billion in accumulated retail sales. Headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina, the company employs more than 500 people globally — including operations in Canada, Australia, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

The company markets a wide variety of high quality, market-driven products and services through a system of Independent Distributors and UnFranchise® Owners. With a perfected, standardized and uniform structure, the UnFranchise Business Development System combines the strengths of franchising with the power of One-to-One Marketing. The result — a stable and profitable business, allowing any individual to achieve financial independence and time freedom.

Each UnFranchise Owner manages an organization of Customer Managers who provide products and services to the end consumer. Each Customer Manager maintains a one-on-one relationship with a small portfolio of customers. Through this relationship, the company surveys the customer to find out what product and services they want and need. The company then uses this data to identify manufacturers who create the desired products. Not only does the company know what products people want, but also knows exactly which customer wants them.

By simply supplying people with the products they want and need, Market America is pioneering the new distribution model of the future — and it is all facilitated through the ease of the Internet combined with the power of people. Market America is the One-to-One Marketing pioneer and leader. Market America is to One-to-One marketing what Microsoft is to computerization and McDonald’s is to franchising.
