No Smoke and Mirrors but hard facts.

What is an (active) distributor for Herbalife? The annual report:

As of December 31, 2010, we had approximately 2.1 million distributors, which includes approximately 161,000 China sales representatives and employees. Collectively, we refer to this group as “distributors.”

Approximately 483,000 of our 2.1 million distributors have become sales leaders, which are comprised of approximately 434,000 sales leaders in the 73 countries where we use our traditional marketing plan and approximately 49,000 China sales employees and licensed business providers operating under our China marketing plan. Collectively, we refer to this group as “sales leaders.”

For sales leaders to re-qualify and retain their distributor organization and associated earnings, they need to earn 4,000 volume points in one month or 2,500 volume points in 12 each of two consecutive months.

  1. Important to mention and to add to somewhat outdated information;
    to stay "qualified" as a sales leader, one needs to have 4000$ turnover IN 12 MONTHS together, not in 1 month, or 334$ average per month. That is about what I personally consume (-50% discount) every month for 19 years.
    The "retention" of sales leaders in my overall organisation is 93% last year. It all depends on how you coach your people I guess. I just tell them the truth, that without work and willing to learn, they will fail. But if the want to learn and want to work their agenda and business, they will succeed and have a dreamlife. And they do 🙂 It is SO SIMPLE. Thanks to Herbalife-products and my sponsor, I have made a fortune. And i started as a customer….. Anybody can and we are executing plans to double our turnover to 10 billion in 2020. New leaders are always welcome.
    Enjoy,
    Raf.
