Herbalife Compensation Plan

Lots of people are searching for the Herbalife Compensation Plan.

I found a sales and marketing plan for the company which is 126 pages long.

Do you want to go through all that?

Hell NO!

Instead read my condensed version below…

Please Click and read the following before continuing:

Herbalife Average Gross Compensation
Herbalife Gold Standard

Mark Hughes started Herbalife in 1980 at the age of 23, he also developed their Compensation Plan.

Mark was the founder and the company’s first distributor.

Michael Johnson has been the CEO and chairman since 2007.

Herbalife Ltd is a global nutrition company and has distributors in over 90 countries.

Herbalife claims that they payout up to 73% of product revenues to its distributors.

The success of a distributor is in the sale of the products and the effort put into building his/her business.

First things first, lets get you signed up as a distributor.

This requires purchasing the Herbalife Mini International Business Pack(IBP) – $57.75.

The mini IBP includes the distributor application and other documents plus a few product samples.

The full IBP costs $95.55 and includes full sized products instead of sample size.

Complete and submit the application inside the IBP.

I find it a bit strange that you pay first then submit the application to get your identification number.

The application is processed in a few days and of course while you are waiting registration, you can purchase Herbalife Products through your sponsor!

There are two things I need to add here.

1. You have the opportunity to decline the business within 90 days of initial signup
2. Herbalife has a buyback policy on the products if a distributor decides to resign

How MLMs Work

Each Product(shake/pill/juice) has a point value

Sell the product ===> Get some points!

Acquire certain number of points ===> YOU go up a level!

Build a downline ===> Downline sells products ===> Get % of those points!

Rinse and repeat.

The products and the points will of course vary from MLM to MLM but, the system remains the same across the board.

The better the products, the easier to sell them and the higher the point value on the product then the easier success will be.

Right, lets go deeper into this…

There are 6 main ways of earning from the comp plan.

1. Immediate Retail Profit

This is a payment from the sales made to your customers.

It is the difference between the retail price and the discount awarded to your position.

Starts from 25% for a distributor up to 50% for a supervisor.

2. Daily Wholesale Profit

This is the difference between what distributors in your downline pay for products against what you pay for products.

AS a supervisor with a 50% discount and a distributor getting 25% discount, you will make 25%.

3. Monthly Royalty Override Income

As a supervisor, you earn 5% on the personal volume of all of your downline supervisors. This only goes three levels down though.

4. Monthly Production Bonuses

An extra 2% – 7% Organizational Production Bonus can be earned by Top Achievers Business(TAB) team members.

To obtain TAB Team member status, you must be a member of 3 different teams listed below.

A. Global Expansion Team(GET) – Achieve 1,000 Royalty Points each month for 3 consecutive months

B. Millionaire Team – Achieve 4,000 Royalty Points each month for 3 consecutive months

C. President’s Team – Achieve 10,000 Royalty Points each month for 3 consecutive months

5. Annual Bonuses

Only the Top Achievers get recognized here.

6. Qualify for Special Vacation and Training Events

You get rewarded for consistent high performance and efforts in building your business.

The company has special promotions and bonuses throughout the year.

Diamond Rings and gold and Diamond Watches are given to distributors when they accumulates a certain amount of volume.

Herbalife Volume System

The volume month begins on the first business day of the month and ends on the last business day.

Personally Purchased Volume(PPV)

All products purchased directly through your Herbalife ID.

Downline Volume(DV)

All products purchased by your downline distributors directly from You/Herbalife. If you are a supervisor then this volume is credited either as PPV or GV.

Group Volume(GV)

The volume on any orders purchased at a temporary 50% discount by qualifying supervisors in their qualifying month.

This volume is PPV for the qualifying supervisor and GV for fully qualified supervisor.

Total Volume(TV)

PPV + GV

Organizational Volume(OV)

A supervisor earns royalty overrides on this amount.

Encumbered Volume(EV)

Volume produced by any distributor qualifying for supervisor in your personal organization.

Unencumbered Volume(UEV)

Any points produced below 2,500 by anyone down to the first qualified supervisor in your business. Also includes your PPV.

Matching Volume(MV)

A sponsoring supervisor must have the same PPV as a downline distributor(s) who are qualifying for supervisor.

This volume is how the company verifies and validates the new supervisors. If the sponsor doesn’t match volume then the new supervisor will go up to the next upline supervisor.

Be warned!!!

Now to add the final part, the all important positions.

There are more than 15 positions inside this comp plan, I will highlight the first five.

Distributor

Receives a 25% discount off retail price.

Senior Consultant

To reach this position, you need to accumulate 500 points or more in one month.

Receives a 35% discount off retail price.

Achieve 2,000 points and receive a 42% discount off retail price.

Success Builder

To reach this position, you need to accumulate 1000 PPV points or more in one order.

Receives a 42% discount off retail price.

Qualified Producer

To reach this position, you need to accumulate 2,500 points or more in one to three months.

1,000 of the points must be DV.

Supervisor

To reach this position, you need to accumulate 4,000 volume in one month or 2,500 volume in each of 2 consecutive months or 5,000 volume within 12 months.

Receives a 50% discount off retail price.

Summary

The company has been around a long time and is well known. This can be a good and a bad thing for it’s distributors. There is a lot of money in the health niche so might well be worthwhile joining Herbalife.

They seem to have health programs in place to complement the products so should make it much easier to sell the products.

If you are comfortable with doing home parties and 3 way calls then this might be the MLM company for you.
