In the world we live in, success is often measured in numbers and titles. However, Sabato challenges every paradigm. As a Diamond at Xpro, one of the most innovative companies in the industry, he leads an army of over 110,000 people across countries and corners of the world he has never even set foot in.
But behind these impressive figures lies a story that began with a layoff, a depression and a heartbreaking question: How do you rebuild a life from scratch?
Today, what defines him is not the numbers but his unwavering philosophy: success is not measured in money, but in the smiles you help create. For Sabato, every hug of gratitude, every story of resilience within his team and every legacy he builds are his true currency.
This is the story of a man who turned corporate betrayal into an empire of hope and loneliness into a global family united by a single dream: to reinvent themselves without limits.
From Corporate Executive to Network Marketing Visionary
Before becoming a global figure in Network Marketing, Sabato embodied the corporate executive lifestyle. With a rising career in multinational companies spanning telecommunications, banking, insurance and even consultancy for generational business transitions, his life seemed set on a predictable path: steady promotions, impeccable suits and meetings in towering glass buildings.
“I thought I would be a manager or executive for life.”
For him, corporate success was a safe bet, until fate intervened. The year 2015 marked a turning point. A cold business decision, a mass layoff due to the economic crisis, left him out in the cold.
“I felt betrayed by the company I had given everything to.”
The fall was not just professional; he sank into a deep depression, which he describes as an “abyss of incredible despair.” But from that rock bottom, a spark of defiance ignited. “It was my last chance. I couldn’t lose. I didn’t want to lose.”
December 6, 2015, became his day of reinvention. Armed with nothing but his experiences and unshakable determination, he decided to embark on a journey in Network Marketing, a sector that, to many, seemed completely incompatible with his background.
“My family and friends all advised me against it. They kept telling me that for someone like me, it was lowering myself too much.”
His ex-wife, his closest circle and even his own inner voice warned him it was a mistake. But Sabato, stubborn in his faith in a better future, ignored the noise. What followed was a lonely journey, fueled by the dream of being his own boss and building a legacy no one could take away from him.
His years in the corporate world taught him discipline; his pain, resilience. And so, the same man who once signed million-dollar contracts in luxury offices began explaining the power of duplication and embracing social networks, armed only with sincerity and a mission:
“No one would ever fire me again.”
Leadership Philosophy
Sabato’s approach is built on four unwavering pillars, forged from values refined within Network Marketing:
- Integrity and Loyalty
A moral compass is non-negotiable. Influenced by the teachings of his grandparents and parents, he learned that difficult decisions always have a clear direction: doing what is right over what is easy.
“Whenever I had to choose between an easy option and an honest one, my values showed me the way.”
This principle led him to prioritize transparency in an industry that is sometimes murky, creating teams where loyalty is not demanded but a natural result of trust.
- Inspirational Leadership
“The true value of a leader lies in their ability to empower each team member, recognizing their essential role and the impact they have on achieving goals.”
With this in mind, Sabato believes the secret is to transform individual passion into a shared mission. His strategy is clear: lead by example, celebrate every small victory and remind his team that even their smallest contribution is vital to greater achievements.
- Shared Success
While many measure success in numbers, for him, reaching the top alone is “sad and selfish.”
His greatest pride is not his 110,000+ collaborators but the transformations they have experienced:
“Their smiles are my invaluable wealth.”
A Unique Approach
Sabato revolutionized Network Marketing by applying an unusual formula: professionalizing the amateur.
“I took the industry’s biggest weakness: the lack of a winning mindset, and turned it into an advantage.”
He introduced corporate methods into an environment accustomed to informality. The result? A team that operates with the precision of a multinational but with the heart of a family.
His story is not just one of professional reinvention but of deep personal transformation. A man who, from the shadows of introversion, learned to shine on the global stage of Network Marketing.
“I was very introverted and valued my privacy. But then, of course, I had to learn to explain the power of this industry.”
When Network Marketing challenged him to communicate his vision, he chose to turn his weaknesses into strengths. He mastered social media, not as sales tools but as bridges to connect stories.
Today, his inspiring talks at international events prove that courage is built step by step.
The Mindset of a Student
In Sabato’s view, success is not a destination but a journey of infinite curiosity.
“I stay updated by attending an increasing number of industry events, reading books and watching videos. Because learning never stops.”
Failure as an Ally
“Failure is necessary. We only learn when we make mistakes,” he repeats like a mantra.
He doesn’t romanticize failure, but he dignifies it. Even now, with a team of over 110,000 people, he celebrates his collaborators’ mistakes:
“If failure blocks you, it only means one thing: what you were pursuing wasn’t important enough.”
From Worn-Out Shoes to Achieved Dreams
“Nine years ago, I couldn’t even buy new shoes for my children,” he recalls.
His children, now 15 and 14, are growing up in an environment where the only limits are the ones they set for themselves. This radical transformation is living proof that Network Marketing, when executed with ethics and strategy, can rewrite destinies.
The most extraordinary thing about Sabato’s empire is its universality. His network of over 110,000 people stretches across the world, including countries he has never visited.
Advice for Entrepreneurs: The 3 Key Elements
In Network Marketing, Sabato does not believe in shortcuts, but he does believe in foolproof formulas. After years of trial, error and success, he condensed his wisdom into three essential pillars:
1. A Company with Strong Leadership
A company without visionary and ethical leaders is doomed to fail. His advice is clear: research, ask questions and ensure that the leaders have real transformation stories, not just empty speeches.
2. A Product the World Needs
Here, Sabato is blunt: “Don’t look for what you like; look for what the world needs.”
He rejects the comfort zone and bets on innovative solutions. If the product doesn’t solve a real problem, no amount of promotion will make it work.
3. A Mentor with Proven Success
His recommendation: find someone who has led thousands to success, not just someone who boasts about their own achievements. And once you find them, “copy them, don’t imitate them. Trust their system.”
Sabato followed this principle religiously, modeling strategies from industry leaders like Eric Worre while adapting them to his own essence.
Professional Goals: Reaching New Heights
Sabato doesn’t stop. In September 2024, he shared an ambitious plan with his team: to develop 20 new Diamonds by 2026.
And for himself, he has an even bigger challenge: to reach the “Ultimate Spilla”, the highest rank in his company, before 2027.
