Doing the Impossible! - PartIII
Money Maker's Monthly Company of the Month

Lisa Strozzi, who have been with Matol for over one year enthused, "The products speak for themselves, we have clinical studies which are very impressive. Plus I now have medical doctors in my group, who are using these products themselves, and with their patients, this gives everyone the confidence to talk about Matol products. I live in a very small town in Montana, and for someone like me to earn $100,000 a year in my own business is unbelievable. I love the weekly bonus checks, I have had some weeks where my bonus was over $3,500. It is truly a dream come true."

Curt Newby has been in Matol less than two years and is already at the top management level, earning $15,000 monthly. "I have been doing seminars all over the U.S. and Canada, doing lectures on immune system modulation. We have sold over $20,000 worth of Matol products in just one seminar, more than once, since I have been lecturing."

"Matol has everything, the products, the compensation and the support. This plan allows you to earn great money while building your long-term income stream. I have earned over $3,000 a week when I was getting started and the repeat sales generated from these products is like nothing I've ever seen."

Seasoned management team

According to Tim Dern, Matol's chief marketing officer, "This is the best management of any company I have ever worked with, we are all very close, but tough when we have to be and share common goals. I am the new guy on the Executive Management Team, but I have found it very easy to fit into this group and I feel as if I was here from the start.

"This group has allowed me to bring some fresh, innovative things into Matol that most of the more established companies would veto. What I have found here is an established company that is still focused on making big things happen and they know that it will take a complete team effort.

Robert is a great owner to work for and we all share his passion to make Matol the role model company in our industry. He is our leader, however he lets each of us do our job. With a tight group leading the way it's no wonder Matol is doing the impossible."

The Matol Executive Management Team:
J.F. Robert Bolduc, co-founder, chairman and chief executive officer - Bolduc co-founder Matol is 1984 after personally benefiting from the Km herbal tonic created by Karl Jurak. Bolduc made the company philosophy of Give and Receive (inspired by Karl Jurak) and it still is a major part of the corporate culture at Matol. The company was launched in October 1984.

Bijan Movafegh, chief operating officer - Movafegh has been with the company for over 15 years. He worked his way up through various departments of Matol and is now in charge of all operations. He understands what distributors need as well as how to make the process work from the inside.

Daniel Danino, chief financial officer - Danino has been with Matol for over 6 years and has an impressive track record of working with on of the top CPA firms in Canada before joining Matol. He has the huge responsibility of handling the money when you consider Matol has done over a billion-and-a-half dollars in sales and paid out over $500 million in commission checks.

Tim Dern, chief marketing officer- Dern has been at Matol just a couple of years and brings new energy with innovative ideas from his 17 years in the MLM industry. Dern has been a top distributor for two major companies, has built one of the largest discount shopping MLM companies ever and has made quite an impact working in top marketing positions for companies in the industry. A charismatic business builder that works very well with people and is now using his talents to create some explosive growth at Matol.

Anyone would be proud to show off this extensive line of personal care products and share the various fragrance experiences at a home demonstration. This line helps distributors approach a different target market. Many of these customers then also start using Matol's health and immune system products.

Top standard laboratories

Matol's production facility is located just outside of Montreal in Varennes, Quebec, Canada. The state-of-the-art production facility is designed to specifically meet the specialized production needs of an herbal-based product. The plant has stringent quality-control measures- all ingredients are carefully inspected for purity and quality.

The laboratories meet Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) standards for pharmaceutical products and comply with Good Laboratory Practices (GLPs). The Matol facility is also approved for Pharmaceutical and Food Analysis and accredited for Micrological Analysis. Matol must be able to assure strict and sere quality standards because its products are distributed world-wide.

Matol products are rigorously tested in its microbiological laboratory, which has been accredited by Canadian Standards and its chemistry laboratory, which is also operated to GLP standard. By controlling these production processes, Matol can assure the highest quality levels.

Because of Matol's recent growth, the company is building a new, larger, custom-made headquarters, which eventually should house both the administrative and manufacturing functions. It will have close to 100,000 square feet when filled to capacity.

Matol on the move

I personally know the management and the Matol company. The management has gone through fire and brimstone but has never lost its appreciation and respect for its distributors. Matol's products have a great story. More importantly, their performance is attracting world-class research doctors into the program. When Matol has made changes in its compensation plan, it was to help increase its distributors income, not to burden its distributors with additional qualifications that result in reduced incomes for most. Matol has not added policies restricting its distributor's freedoms. Matol has learned the secret of obtaining and keeping loyal distributors - "be loyal to your distributors."

Who would think that after 17 years, Matol would be the hot, exciting program? But take my word for it. Matol is on the move and many MLMers are coming back where they started. And Matol's rebound and renewed explosive growth is no accident. It has the management and distributor leadership, marketing systems, compensation plan and most importantly, the products that make the impossible happen!

Len Clements, industry insider who is regarded as the Ralph Nader of the industry, positions Matol as one of the top-five best opportunities in the industry.

Isn't it about time you experience the experienced? Matol is on the move. Shouldn't you move to Matol?
