SHORT CLOSE UP
CUT
Bruno Grilo (born March 14, 1974) and Francisco Nunes
(born November 6, 1978) are the perfect examples of
how family ties can be turned into fruitful business
relationships. Brothers-in-law turned business partners, Bruno
and Francisco hail from the beautiful city of Lisbon, Portugal.
Network marketing helped both of them attain a global status.
As they recall, the chief motive behind joining a home business
was to increase income and double fulfillment — something a
traditional business could never have offered them. Initially,
Bruno and Francisco perceived the MLM industry as only a
part-time work option, and it was only after six months that
they decided to consider it as a full-time business option. Bruno
worked in the power tools business as a sales manager and
Francisco worked as a pharmaceutical sales representative. Now
both love the idea of working full-time in the MLM industry as it
gives them much-desired freedom and satiates their ‘networking
passion’ and helps them make ‘other people grow in life.’
Their journey in the MLM industry began with another company
six years prior. However, with passing time they felt the need
for a ‘long-term company,’ the structure and product of which
match the goals of Bruno and Francisco. In 2009, they hit the
bull’s eye by choosing MonaVie from the lot. For the partners,
choosing MonaVie was ‘one of the best decisions’ they had ever
made in their lives. From the very beginning, both Bruno and

Francisco had an affinity towards the wellness industry that
MonaVie truly epitomizes.
Unlike many people in the MLM industry who keep on
switching companies, Bruno and Francisco plan to stick with
MonaVie. In fact, they call it their ‘last rodeo.’ Both of them
seem to have fallen in love with MonaVie ‘not only because
of the income, but because of the culture, the heart and the
structure of this company.’ There is a feeling of safety in
MonaVie and you always have the confidence that you can
attract anyone to its ‘great products, great opportunity, great
results, great working system and superior credibility.’
When OBTAINER asked the two business partners about the
USP of MonaVie, they seemed to be all up for it. According to
them what set MonaVie apart are its products, ‘Distributors
are just as excited about the positive experiences with the
products as they are the opportunity, and this helps to improve
retention levels. Distributors share the products that they have
actually used and believe in.’ Price positioning is done carefully
to offer good margin. MonaVie Active and MonaVie RVL are
the two most focused products in Bruno and Francisco’s team.
While MonaVie Active is ‘antioxidant with glucosamine,’
MonaVie RVL is ‘Weight loss/control shake for blood sugar
stabilization.’ In addition, MonaVie offers a ‘great compensation
plan’ and a simple system that anyone can ‘dive in and duplicate.’
