The Forever Living business operates worldwide and is one of the most successful MLM companies around.

Although they are essentially a 'health, wellness & beauty' company and there is a LOT of competition in this niche, don't let that put you off joining. There will always be competition in any business, some more than others but there will be those who will stand out from the crowd by using the right marketing methods.

This company is based in Arizona and across the world they have nearly 10 million distributors working independently, some impressive figures. The company founder, Rex Maughan had a vision in 1978 of an opportunity for people to experience prosperity and fine health at the same time. The company's first meeting was held in Tempe, 43 folks turned up, the comp plan was the unveiled and things got started. From that time till now, FL has become more successful every month.

Forever Living has also received positive exposure for its achievements in several popular publications such as the Business Journal, Direct Selling News and Inc 500 Magazine. Every company needs great leadership and Forever Living has that. There are some very experienced leaders such as Gregg Maughan and Rjay Lloyd.

What products are there?

There are dozens of products to choose from and most are based on the famous Aloe Vera plant. There has been much publication and awareness of just how effective Aloe Vera can be for providing solutions to health problems. It contains powerful nutrients. The company also has a range of bee products; they actually have their own bee hives to ensure that they can control the source of their ingredients, resulting in a high quality product.

You should be able to service your potential customers well with such a great range of products, weight management, nutrition pills and shakes, skin care and cosmetics are all available. If you are going to be joining as a distributor then take the time to become familiar with their extensive product range, people like to buy from someone who has good product knowledge.

The compensation plan

The compensation plan allows you to earn a promotional, front end income from retail sales and a monthly residual (passive) income from building a team of active distributors under you. If you are willing to work hard then the FL business will pay you well. Their corporate website also mentions that they apply a no pass ups system, which basically means when someone in your team is promoted then you get the benefit of this also. There is some serious potential here with FL for those that are willing to work hard.

You will also get the benefit of the Forever Living training website, however you will most likely be told to prospect your warm market first, which is all well and good but what happens when you've exhausted that list?. To be ultimately successful you've got to come up with a way to bring in new leads to your sales funnel each and every day. Its a harsh reality but the main reason for failure and people quitting in MLM is simply insufficient leads and cash flow.
