The Herbalife Business Opportunity

Its easy to get started as an independent Herbalife distributor, you just need to find a sponsor, complete the relevant forms and pay a $50 registration fee. You are then able to buy products at a discount from the company directly, so you can then start selling products immediately and make a profit. However to make the most out of this business you need to build a team of distributors under you and earn from their efforts, this is known as residual income and this is where the real power of network marketing comes in. With Herbalife you will be one of the highest paid in the industry as they put 73% of their sales back into the distributor pay plan, there are not many, if any other companies that pay out so much.

You will be able to earn from retail sales, repeat (autoship) customer orders, plus royalties and various other bonuses. To get the most out of this opportunity you should be focusing your efforts on personal sponsoring, training and motivating your team.

You will need a steady flow of targeted leads to your business though if you are going to sponsor any significant numbers. You can certainly start off your business by prospecting your immediate circle of friends and family, however its highly likely that this won't produce the results that you are looking for. To be ultimately successful you need to find a way to bring in new leads each day for your business, luckily using some online strategies this is actually quite easy to do.
