QNet is playing a proactive role in introducing the independent business opportunities

Network marketing today is evolved majorly from what it used to be known as. Initially seen as an industry mostly for housewives or retired people, it was all-too often mistaken for a shaky venture and hounded by negative associations. Today, experts agree that network marketing is one of the best businesses people could get into. The opportunity to earn anything from a part-time compensation to a passive income stream, with a business that does not require a significant amount of know-how, time and money to start with, while helping people is unmatchable. Because of this, an ever-increasing number of people, especially professionals and entrepreneurs, are getting on board the network marketing train.

QNet started 13 years ago with a similar vision – to provide people with the opportunity to transform their lives and that of the people around them. The mission of RYTHM (Raise Yourself to Help Mankind) provided the strong underpinnings to QNet’s remarkable growth and evolution in Asia and beyond. As the world continues to grapple with the sobering effects of the latest financial crisis, and the diminishing of the value of job security, the company’s commitment to “be more to do more” has grown even deeper. QI Group Founder and Executive Chairman, Dato’ Vijay Eswaran says, “As more and more people become educated and employable, there are fewer and fewer jobs… And there is absolutely nothing out there that can fill the gap – except network marketing. We are the only logical solution: allowing people to work out of their homes, and be mothers and fathers and whatever they need to be – and at the same time create a profession out of delivering goods and services across the planet.”

In the late ‘90s, a small but ambitious company was born amidst the Asian financial crisis and at a time still remembered for ‘bursting the dot-com bubble’. While traditional and online businesses throughout Asia were closing their doors, the journey had only just begun for this innovative and determined Philippine-based direct selling company. With a vision to change the lives of people around the globe, this company combined the potential of the Internet and e-commerce with the powerful business model of network marketing. More than a decade later, with international headquarters in Hong Kong and a customer base of millions, this ‘small but ambitious company’ is anything but small and perhaps even more ambitious than ever. An exclusive and exhaustive portfolio of innovative products continues to evolve to meet the lifestyle and wellness needs of our customers and distributors; our products support the seamless QNet compensation plan that serves as a vehicle for entrepreneurs to take control of their lives and finances. Developing the modality of the business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce, the company inaugurated in 1998 with an initial offering of high-value coins and medallions of superior quality. The company quickly established itself as one of the world’s complete in-house design and manufacturing of Swiss-made Bernhard H. Mayer watches by skilled horologists and craftsmen.

In 2005, the QI Group acquired a UK-based independent telecommunications provider with a strong background in providing advanced communications solutions and technology in the United Kingdom. In the years that have followed, this investment has been responsible for QNet’s world-class technologies provided through its In-Voice telecommunications brand, which had been launched in 2004 and offers mobile phones and economical Internet-based communications. The company’s product portfolio was further enhanced in 2006 by the introduction of a unique wellness product line, branded Amezcua, which is considered revolutionary in its function of enhancing the quality and energy levels of water and the human body. Today, Amezcua has proven to be among the most popular product lines sold by QNet. Since 2006, two more original energy brands have been introduced: the Himalayan Crystal Collection natural energy jewelry range and Veloci-Tienergised titanium performance pendants. Both take the concept of wellness and energy a step further by combining innovative wellness aspects with fine jewelry designs. The year 2008 saw expansion into consumable and household products with new and exclusive product lines of nutrition, skin care, body care, cosmetics and home care. The popularity of these products has resulted in even more customers being attracted to the company’s product portfolio, regardless of whether or not they avail themselves of the inherent business opportunity. This evolution and diversification of product lines, combined with the company’s active localization-within-globalization operational strategy, was the catalyst in 2010 for the company to undergo a strategic repositioning and rebranding. Formerly known as QNet, 2010 saw the arrival of QNet to reflect the natural progression and shifting business model of the company.

Today, QNet is a modern and progressive player on a global scale, and a clear leader and positive influence within the Asian direct selling profession, particularly in countries throughout the world in which direct selling and network marketing is relatively new concepts. Through public education campaigns and awareness activities, QNet is playing a proactive role in introducing the independent business opportunity of direct selling into new markets, consequently contributing to local economies and to the social advancement of both developing and developed nations. At the same time, QNet is also moving into other, more developed markets in which the direct selling profession is well rooted within the community and widely recognized as a viable and professional business option for entrepreneurs. Throughout its dynamic history, the company’s commitment to RYTHM has never faltered, and QNet continues to strengthen its ties in the communities in which it operates through meaningful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities and contributions.
