Think twice before enrolling as a distributor - unless your seriously committed, have plently of time and popular with plenty of people. This is a warning to anyone who will suffer emotionally as I am now, and also physically out of pocket ££!
When you enrol you are encouraged to enrol as a powerpack which entitles you to earn bonus' and commissions on a get rich quick scheme. You'll have to spend $299 + p&p + handling fees in order to qualify for this bonus scheme. This will consist of both nutrional, skincare and body magic garments for personal use and retail. What your distributor won't tell you is that in order to continue to qualify for commissions you'll have to spend $100 + p&p + handling fees in order to obtain the full commission you earn from your downline (people you enrol). In order to get your bonus' you'll have to meet your targets of enrolling a limited about of distributors each month, I admit this is explained and extremely hyped up as to your maximum potential (yes it can be done but not everyone can do it) but when you don't know many people or if all those people you enrol are your closest friends in your area then this can become a problem! You are also encouraged to buy a body magic in a range of sizes for showcases and stock up your inventory of nutritional and skincare products and attend Ardyss meetings which costs £5 each meeting which is just another showcase. So now you have spent $299 on your powerpack which includes your garment that you must wear and spend some more money on getting your inventory eg. 5-7 Body Magics all different sizes for people to try on, Some skincare as samples plus drinks that retail at £35-£40 a bottle for people to drink. So how much have you now spent?? Don't forget you have not bought any brochures, leaflets or business cards. These you can buy from Ardyss or pay to have them designed and printed elsewhere, more costs!!! What else do you now need? Oh yeah an extra long measuring tape - that I can handle at approx. £3 from Amazon. So now your ready to kick start your showcases - only you have not bought that extra DVD to play to your guests when you are putting one on your guests into a garment in the next room so your guests are occupied.
If you don't physically have the time or don't know many contacts then do not enrol. I was encouraged by my sponsor to enrol and the fact that I didn't know many people wouldn't matter because my few contacts would tell their contacts and before you know it people will contact you. Yes this works but is only limited. You will find that your closest friends won't be interested and won't help you and yet those you don't know will. So how do you go about marketing yourself? After exhausing every option of holding showcases in your own home - only limited number of people will attend, I was lucky enough to get 2 sales and 2 distributors. So now not only do you have to help your downline you now struggle to find time to help yourself, but you still have more targets to meet and a minimum reoccurring order each month. Then after you enrol you find out that everyone you market the product to already knows another distributor - bother, probably because they were already enrolled by the same person who enrolled you! In a haste to boost and motivate yourself you go into shops and ask everyone you can think of inc. colleagues, old associates, friends, friends of friends, even your childrens nursery/school workers just to find out that if your in London like me then everyone already knows someone or they are not interested in paying £120-£150 for a garment.
By the end of the 2nd month (if your unlucky like me) you'll find that you've got a whole load of product that you cannot shift because no-one wants to buy the nutritional products at there prices and on top of this so de-motivated and emotionally in ruins because your credit card bill has hit the limit, you've exhausted every option possible and taken on board every bit of advice your sponsor has given you and you've only made back a fraction of what you've spent. Your sponsor will sound like they care and try to keep pushing you.
(plus what you don't know is your sponsor is well happy because they have earnt $80 for each distributor they have got on board + $80 for each distributor you have enrolled + Commission from you stocking up your inventory as per their advice and from your downline too. This overall increases their rank and they then get extra bonus' every month for being on a higher rank and having so many people in your downline and your left out of pocket!) - Great if your that sponsor and you can do, bad if your not!
To succeed in this business you have to know a least everybody! And be in an unestablished area helps alot!
Think carefully about how serious you are before enrolling - your sponsor does not know your emotional frame of mind and this can either make or break you!
