It is a halal business when:
1. Real sale of goods: The products should have tangible benefit to the members or users like health supplements of good quality and other goods. Therefore, goods which have no tangible benefit, of low quality that do not meet the requirements for a real sale of goods, naturally being used to hide the pyramid scheme in MLMs and serve as legal tricks to avoid Shariah prohibition. Therefore, the strength of a MLM should be based on the product quality and not based on the ability to make large profit out of new members fee. – Premium Beautiful is PROVEN works and have benefited all users, not just for beauty but also for health. It is been in the market for more than 20 years and this show that PB works! Look at the testimonials, only great products stay strong in the market. This business is based on the GREAT quality of Premium Beautiful. We sell a corset, a Premium Beautiful corset, dan bukan tiada barang
2. The product is not gold or silver or currencies: Gold, silver and currencies are ribawi items and should observe strict Shariah rules that only permit spot transactions. Gold, silver and currencies could not be sold on deferred basis because it will be tantamount to Riba Nasiah. PremiumBeautiful is not gold or silver , it’s an amazing corset! ;)
3. Commission paid to each member is transparent: There should not be any commission paid without effort. Therefore an upline is only entitled to the commission of the downline whom he or she has helped. The Pay Slip for Hai-O shows clearly how the $$$ is being break it down to details. You earn what you have worked for. And this biz is really about TEAM WORK, the leaders always help other members in achieving their dreams. Just look at my leader, Hanis Haizi , ALWAYS full swing in helping her business partners and Aliah Nasreen, a friend and a mentor that I have always looked up to, helping me from the beginning, without fail!Once you become a member, you will get an employee handbook and from there you can see how the bonus is distributed, the percentage and everything you want to know about the commission and bonuses.
4. Commission is not based on number of new recruits: Commission should be based on the amount of sales that one has managed to achieve. This is important to ensure that the MLM focuses on real business and is not a mere money game. Same as above. Bonus or commission is based on the number of volume sales :). For example, you will get 21% bonus once you reach 20,000 PV (Sales Manager) and not you will get 21% bonus once you 'recruit' 5 members..contoh!
5. No sales target as a pre-requisite for commission payment: There should not be any form of implied coercion by setting this kind of condition. Premium Beautiful Biz has NO target! This your OWN business, you decide how and where you want to go. Go on your own phase. You set the target for yourself. If you want to get more, you work more, if you want to go for the FOC trip, you work to meet the sales. No weekly/ monthly target from the company. You do your own business; you are your own boss!If you want to receive your bonus, you make a sale! You set your own target. In order to success, it is important to have your won target.
6. Every upline should put effort to help their downline: Upline should assist their downline by arranging for meetings, giving motivation and explaining sales techniques to their downline. This is important to ensure the upline is legally (from shariah perspective) entitled to the commission received. If not, the commission received may be categorized as ambiguous (syubhah) income. If the network is too big and the upline does not even know the downline what else to offer assistance, then why should the upline still attain benefit at the expense of the new member? This would result in compound brokerage mentioned above. Premium Beautiful Biz is all about TEAM WORK. Team Leaders help the business partners. I’m speaking from my own experience. Hanis Haizi is a VERY BUSY successful business woman, yet she still find time to meet Aliah and I in helping us with motivations, stratergies, etc.Aliah too! They are the best!! And I will be like them too in helping all my business partners so achieve their goals ;)
7. Does not utilize pyramid scheme i.e First In Rich Forever (FIRF) scheme: The marketing plan should ensure that everybody has an opportunity to get commission based on their performance and not according to First in Rich Forever scheme. In FIRF schemes, those who join a MLM company at its infant/early stage will always gain more as more members join although the new member is able to sell/perform better than those who join earlier. If it is a genuine business, a downline who performs better than an upline should be able to make more profit than the upline. Premium Beautiful Biz is NOT skim cepat kaya. You earn for what you work for. You will see in the pay slip too that the Upline bonus will minus the downline bonus. It is not possible for the downline to make more money than the upline. Why not, it is after all based on YOUR sale, YOUR work, YOUR effort!Once you stop doing the business, you won't get anything doesn't matter when you join. There are people out there that joined the business few years ago but didn't do anything, didn't progress, didn't get the bonus.
8. Disclosure of the commission system should be transparent and understandable: This is to ensure that there will be no fraud and the members could observe the commission payment easily. Pay slip tells all ;). Business handbook tell all too ;)
9. Structuring of marketing plan based on partnership (musharakah) contract: The best way to set up a marketing plan is based on musharakah where profit and losses in the business is shared according to according to the capital ratio. The parties should agree upon the profit sharing ratio before entering into the contract. Our team ALWAYS meet up to discuss on the biz; on how to expand our biz, how to sell, the strategies and effort needed, etc. Our employee handbook says it all. All you need to know of the business plan, bonus, commissions, EVERYTHING!
