Retention Rates

Retention rates: one of the best keep secrets in the Direct Selling Industry…

We define Retention as the number of distributor & customer Renewals or/ and Autoships per 1,000 distributors in 1 year.

If you have a downline of 1,000 people, a retention rate of 15 % would indicate that 150 people are active distributors include preferred customers and distributors purchasing products directly from the company.  An average retention rate would be around 15 – 20 %. In startup companies the retention rate will be higher.

Herbalife is reporting in the annual report 2010 a total of 2 million distributors. 324,000 are active distributors so a retention rate of 16%.

It is a great indicator of a residual income and the product marketing mix. The higher your retention rate the stronger your business is.
