Herbalife

My wife and I run a successful business from home selling inner and outer nutrition products. The company we distribute for is Herbalife, they operate in over 67 countries and turned over 3.6billion last year. They are the number health company in the world and have made more millionnaires than any other business in the world.

Does anyone else do the business? It offers flexibility of working hours, you are your own boss, financial freedom is realistic. We love the business and both love the fact we help people feel better and get paid for it as well. Weight management is the most successful product at the moment, this even carries a guarantee (if you follow the guidelines you are gauranteed to lose weight or you money back).

This has and still is helping us out of debt, has nobody else mentioned it yet? I see Kleeneze, Ann Summers, Avon etc but no mention of Herbalife.

Herbalife hasn't made me feel better. Herbalife has !!!!ed me off by suckering me into attending a sales pitch/recruitment drive disguised as a market study. I dislike people trying to deceive me, and having my time wasted. Is it not the case that you make more money by recruiting others and taking a part of their earnings, and the earnings of anyone they recruit?

I was disgusted by their tactics. Having deceived people into attending, there ensued the usual parade of happy consultants boasting about their earnings (with the implication that you too can make a fortune!), and about how much weight they'd lost using the products. As if it couldn't be done any other way ... There seemed to be a lot of naive people in the audience, which I suppose is what they depend on

If they bother me again, they'll be told where to get off ...

I gave Herbalife a go six or more years ago. I lost two stone and about £2,000. The products were very good but pricey. The compensation plan was not so good and the policies and procedures took a turn for the worse after Mark Hughes died. The meetings were too ra-ra up school for my liking.

Having said that, multi level marketing is a way for people to start out with a small cash outlay and earn a good living from home. One just needs to find the right company with the right products, compensation plan and policies & procedures.

Well I wasn't hoping for so much negativity, I am sorry you have had bad experiences but I can assure you there are always bad apples in big organisations and you obviously were picked by them. The company has made more millionnaires than any other company in the world and the company is very fair and ethical.

The are governed by the DSE which is a standard all distributors are MEANT to follow when selling the products and recruiting. You do earn from people you recruit and the marketing plan is by far the best I have seen with 76% of each product up for grabs in commission.

Sorry you have had these experiences, rest assured there are many of us who run the business ethically. Nigewick you lost £2000, did you know you can sell your products back to Herbalife if they are still in date?? You also do not need to spend £2000 to start the business, you can start for much less, a few hundred not thousands.

I knew I could start up for much less. But, I was encouraged to get the superduperupgradedintantgratificationviacommission package or whatever it was called. I could not get the stuff sold while it was in date and did not want to give up. My own fault. I did not have the skills required at that time and accepted some, what was for me, bad advice. I am now with a company I am happy with.

Herbalife is a pyuramid scam with product - some of which does work quite well. Despite what the acolytes may say, the company was started off by a dodgy salesman who eventially - like his mum - died as a reasult of addiction to prescription pills.

That said, Herbalife gave me two nights in Paris that I will never ever forget. I was spammed from across the world by a saleswoman for Herbalife and ended up meeting her in Paris. Our relationship was a non starter because I wouldnt "get with the program" but the Herbalife congress in Paris I will never forget!
