Klob International launched its US operations in 2011, though its contact page lists additional phone numbers in Mexico, Peru, and Colombia. Corporate documents state the company is a legal entity established under Mexican law. It resides in Guadalajara, Jalisco, as detailed in deed No. 17,314, granted by Atty. Enrique Ramos Ruiz, Notary Public No. 20, in Zapopan, Jalisco, on June 20, 2009.
Spanish-speaking markets appear to be the company's main focus. Much of the Klob International website remains in Spanish even when "English" is selected as the display language. All marketing videos for Klob also appear to be exclusively in Spanish.
No information on the Klob International website identifies who owns or runs the business. The klobinternational.com domain was registered in 2007, but its registration is set to private. A video on the "What is Klob" page features a Spanish-speaking individual.
A testimonial on the "Klob People" page from Sergio Cervantes credits Pedro Lopez and Manuel Estrada with innovative ideas. Estrada and Lopez are identified as President and Vice-President, respectively. A US launch marketing video shows both men speaking to Klob International affiliates. No prior MLM history for either Estrada or Lopez could be found, likely due to the language barrier.
Klob International's "corporate purpose" involves the "import, manufacturing and marketing of financial tools and products of daily use," according to its member agreement. The company's specific product offerings remain unclear.
The "Services" page mentions "Publications for MonkyMart" and "Klob Pro." MonkyMart is an online platform developed by Klob. It offers advertising services, deals, and classified ads. The monkymart.com website functions as a message-board style classifieds site, featuring items like Herbalife products and women's sportswear, all listed in Spanish. No pricing structure is provided on MonkyMart, nor is there any indication if non-affiliates can post ads.
Klob Pro is a $299 marketing suite designed for Klob International affiliates. The "available packages" page on the Klob website was blank at the time of publication.
The Klob International compensation plan pays affiliates recruitment commissions and residuals. These are distributed through a binary compensation structure. Additional bonuses and incentives are available, including a matching bonus on downline-generated binary commissions.
Klob International offers 12 affiliate membership ranks. These start with Entrepreneur, which requires paying the affiliate membership fee. Higher ranks include Beginner, Decided, Persistent, Intrepid, Expert, Leader, Exemplary, Winner, Successful, Master, Independent, and Free. Each rank requires generating a specific number of points weekly in the weaker binary team. Many also demand a certain number of lower-ranked affiliates in the downline. For instance, the Beginner rank requires 500 points in a week. The Master rank needs 150,000 points weekly for four consecutive weeks and eight Expert or higher ranked affiliates in the downline. The highest rank, Free, demands 1,000,000 points weekly for four consecutive weeks and twelve Expert or higher ranked affiliates.
Affiliates receive a one-time Rank Achievement Bonus upon qualifying for a higher rank, starting at the Beginner level. This bonus begins at $20 for Beginner and increases to $800 for the Winner rank. The Successful rank earns a "mini cooper country man car." Master rank brings a "trip to the 7 wonders of the world." The Independent rank awards a "super luxury car," and the Free rank offers "the house of your dreams."
