Seemingly out of the blue, final month World International Community introduced it was rebranding as Vyvo.
No clarification for the name-change is offered on the World International Community web site.
Right here’s one potential purpose:
BehindMLM’s first publicity to World International Community was International Cellular Community in 2013.
Again then Fabio Galdi was promoting a VOIP service, promoting cell app and energy models.
Most of International Cellular Community’s compensation plan was geared in direction of affiliate recruitment.
Energy models noticed International Cellular Community associates pay $600 or $1600, after which $240 yearly to keep up their place.
Cost of energy unit charges certified International Cellular Community associates for commissions when their downlines bought energy positions (no retail).
Energy models have been ultimately renamed energy clouds.
In 2016 Galdi rebooted International Cellular Community as Wor(l)d Worldwide, later once more renamed to World International Community.
On or round 2017 VOIP and something to do with energy was quietly deserted.
Of their place the Helo wellness bands have been launched. A tool you put on in your wrist that gives monitor indicators to a telephone app.
Amongst different issues, Helo bands have been marketed as with the ability to measure the temper of the wearer.
Different options like ECG/EKG, blood stress, blood alcohol and blood sugar have been marketed have been initially marketed. Some options have been later added, some by no means delivered on.
To that finish there are some attention-grabbing complaints revealed on World International Community’s BBB itemizing (observe the corporate is energetic there and has replied to every).
The feedback on our Wor(l)d Worldwide evaluation are additionally price a learn. A recurring theme is damaged guarantees and the overpriced value of Helo bands versus comparable choices from different corporations.
Anyway, right here we’re in early 2019 and World International Community is now Vyvo. Let’s get into it.
Learn on for a full evaluation of the Vyvo MLM alternative.
The Firm
The FirmVyvo continues to be headed up by founder and CEO Fabio Galdi (proper).
The corporate lists two company addresses on its web site; one for Vyvo Pte Ltd in Singapore and the opposite for Vyvo USA Corp in Utah.
Vyvo Merchandise
Helo bands seem to get replaced with a Vyvo Bioband.
Helo Extense was added on March fifth as a part of a $499 pack (bundled six month app service subscription).
Versus performance primarily based on the system bought, Wor(l)d Worldwide restricted it primarily based on an app subscription mannequin:
- Smartlife Resolution Free (no value) – limitless Helo Measurements, 3 days of LifeLog historical past reviews, 3 days of actual time monitoring, Helo Private Guardian and Helo We Care (as much as 2 folks)
- SmartLife Resolution Primary ($9.90 a month) – provides limitless LifeLog historical past reviews, Helo We Care (as much as 20 folks) and “Your Oracle (AI) Helo & DNA”
- SmartLife Resolution Further ($29.90 a month) – provides Extense private sugar pattern monitoring
- SmartLife Resolution Professional ($74.90 a month) – provides “pulse wave diagnostic” and EKG evaluation
Vyvo advertising lists up to date subscriptions; SmartLife Resolution Mild for $9.90 a month, SmartLife Resolution Loyalty for $59.90 a month and SmartLife Resolution Professional for $99.90 a month.
So far as I can inform the free subscription is gone and the opposite three have simply had their names modified.
Be aware that SmartLife Resolution Professional now comes with a SmartLife Nutra Pak subscription too (see beneath).
Vyvo Biosense bands are being marketed with a $249 value. A function record just isn’t offered.
Along with Helo/Vyvo bands, Vyvo additionally markets SmartLife DNA.
With SmartLife DNA you purchase a package for $249, take a DNA pattern, ship it off to Xfinity Labs to get a custom-made vitamin profile.
That profile is then used to supply subscribers with “tailored” dietary dietary supplements via SmartLife Nutra Paks.
Skincare merchandise primarily based on the package outcomes have additionally been introduced.
Xfinity Labs seems to have been arrange in mid 2018.
The Xfinity Labs web site is closely branded with World International Community advertising and the web site area itself is owned by Fabio Galdi.
Xfinity Labs state-of-the-art laboratory in Central Hong Kong is CLIA and CAP accredited.
The company workplace is positioned in Miami, Florida. Xfinity Labs American executives have a profitable observe report of launching a whole bunch of superior medical merchandise in China, South East Asia, and India since 1997.
Undecided what firm the lab was working as relationship again to 1997, nevertheless it certain wasn’t Xfinity Labs.
Xfinity Labs seems to only be a rebranded extension of World International Community (and now Vyvo).
Lastly, the gimmicky Biozen stickers at $236 for 5.
Defend your self with our modern BioZen & BioZen Plus chips.
BioZen protects you in opposition to cell radiation. Scientifically and medically confirmed.
Vyvo states their BioZen stickers can “decrease your physique’s stress ranges”.
The Vyvo Compensation Plan
Vyvo don’t present a duplicate of their compensation plan on their web site.
The next has been put collectively from a number of advertising displays, which seem to depend on incomplete info offered to Vyvo associates by the corporate.
Be aware that for probably the most half Vyvo’s compensation plan seems just like that of World International Community, nonetheless some issues have modified (the Matching Bonus for instance).

To qualify for MLM commissions, a Vyvo affiliate should buy a minimum of 100 PV of product.

Vyvo pays residual commissions through a binary compensation construction.
A binary compensation construction locations an affiliate on the high of a binary crew, break up into two sides (left and proper):
The primary stage of the binary crew homes two positions. The second stage of the binary crew is generated by splitting these first two positions into one other two positions every (4 positions).
Subsequent ranges of the binary crew are generated as required, with every new stage housing twice as many positions because the earlier stage.
Positions within the binary crew are crammed through direct and oblique recruitment of associates. Be aware there isn’t a restrict to how deep a binary crew can develop.

Upon qualifying on the Diamond rank for 4 consecutive weeks, a Vyvo affiliate receives a $1000 Automobile Bonus.
Though not explicitly clarified, I consider that is an ongoing month-to-month bonus so long as Diamond or larger is maintained.
Diamond Life Vacation
These are apparently journeys awarded to qualifying Vyvo associates.
Qualification standards or journey particulars for Diamond Life Holidays aren’t offered.
Becoming a member of Vyvo
Vyvo affiliate membership seems to be free. A “Starter Equipment” seems on the signup web page however there’s no corresponding cost.
After signing up, so as to qualify for commissions every Vyvo affiliate should buy a minimum of 100 PV price of product.
On the World International Community web site, there are two “Vyvo Good Kits” listed:

There’s a $20 arrange payment talked about within the advertising materials, which could be the precise enroll value.
Delivery on each packs is further however not disclosed.
Conclusion
In the event you’ve tried to analysis Vyvo by your self, you little question bumped into the identical issues I did.
Full info is non-existent. There’s outdated info nonetheless in circulation by the corporate on the World International Community web site and so as to get a whole sense of the chance, you’ve received to dig round.
Lengthy story brief, researching Vyvo left me with a headache – and I knew what info I used to be searching for.
Maybe most puzzling, is the truth that Vyvo has been introduced with a non-functional web site.
As I write this, all you are able to do on the Vyvo web site is click on “be a part of now”, which redirects you again to the outdated World International Community web site.
I don’t know what the monetary scenario is over at World International Community, however I get the sense Vyvo was rapidly put collectively.
And from that perspective it’s arduous not to have a look at the flogging of $369 to $1499 affiliate packs as a money seize.
I imply hell, the merchandise aren’t even able to go but… so what precisely are associates paying for proper now?
Fabio Galdi has given himself till April to get Vyvo’s act collectively. Presumably which means precise merchandise able to ship and a totally functioning web site.
By totally functioning I imply no extra a number of web sites, outdated info and having to hunt round for primary firm, compensation and product info.
The Vyvo web site ought to include firm and product info, in addition to compensation documentation at a minimal.
As it’s attempting to get your head across the DNA package vitamin package and subscription is a nightmare.
I used to be initially tempted to repeat and paste the World International Community compensation plan nevertheless it does appear they’ve made adjustments to it.
That mentioned what’s presently out there is missing and under no circumstances gives a whole image of Vyvo compensation. Once more, that is one thing primary that must be carried out earlier than a brand new firm title is introduced – reinforcing the “money seize” vibe.
Retail truly appears to be a factor this time round, which is an enchancment over World International Community. Though given the mess the corporate presentation, I’m critically questioning its viability.
Proper now Vyvo appears to be all about pay to play recruitment.
New Vyvo associates have to purchase the Builder Pack and recruit others who do the identical, which is incentivized with a 25% residual fee charge for 12 months.
Present World International Community associates simply have to join the $99 a month Professional subscription. They will additionally qualify for the 25% residual fee charge through recruitment.
Hold doing that and you’ll ultimately max out the Vyvo compensation plan, ignoring retail altogether.
As for Vyvo Biosense bands, there doesn’t appear to be any detailed info on them on the market. Which begs the query why anybody would put cash in direction of them now.
I imply for a flagship product you’d anticipate there to be one thing on the Vyvo web site… but right here we’re.
There’s one thing to be mentioned for an MLM firm that evolves to fulfill each operational and product calls for – particularly with regards to a tech associated product.
What Galdi is doing with Vyvo nonetheless is an advanced mess that leaves the impression of unnecessarily convoluted confusion.
Vyvo clearly wasn’t able to be introduced final month. And we head in direction of the tip of March, is nonetheless not prepared.
If Galdi is ready to get the Vyvo web site as much as scratch, retire the outdated World International Community on-line properties and have precise merchandise/companies for buy by April, that’s when Vyvo ought to have been introduced.
I believe the one people who find themselves going to be leaping via hoops to enroll and attempting to clarify Vyvo to folks, are these chasing recruitment commissions (particularly the 25% residual charge bonus).
That lends itself to the inspiration of a pyramid scheme, versus an MLM firm genuinely pitching its services to a retail market.
Strategy with warning. And when you do resolve to attempt to additional analysis Vyvo your self, be sure you’ve received some aspirin readily available.
