I still remember those theoretical objections and crazy discussions with prospects about 5to10 years ago about saturation. There’s no such thing, but it was always hard to ‘prove’ or make them see. But these days? Facebook, Spotify, Instagram anyone? Even they are still growing every day, kills the entire objection. Most people fail to see how big the world truly is, and how many people a day reach the legal age of 18 (to do business with). Checkout https://www.internetworldstats.com to get a grasp how big our markets are.
Anybody who uses the word saturation really needs to explain what they mean by saturation!I tell them with negative people like you nothing will ever get saturated accept for their earnings in their job which has reached saturation!
Congratulations to all the dedicated distributors of herbalife.
I’ve been with Herbalife for over 19 years now, using the excellent products every day since, lost 15kg in 12 weeks and got rid of my health problems doctors could not find a solution for….
2011 was my best year ever…and my groupvolume in the first quarter of 2012 grew 33,8% compared to 2011…
Saturation? Lol, we are just getting started. Watch us; we will double in 4 years now, to retail 10 billion us$,
it’s like creating a brand new same size herbalife next to the existing one in 4 yrs after 31 years.
Trust me, the big future stars in herbalife have not signed up yet.
I just got back from the summit & bonus awards in LA, where herbalife handed out 53,4 Million us$ to 369 people,
and i saw many many young distributors surpassing the “old” ones….
Saturation? The “oldest” market, the US grew last year by 23%.
We’ll become the number one network in the world, trust me.
[email protected] if you are looking around. I’ll coach you personally.
wish you all the best,
Raf
