Advocare International Review
Advocare International are a multi level marketing company formed in
1993 by Charles Ragus. They have anchored themselves firmly in the very
competitive but extremely lucrative health and wellness niche. They sell a
variety of sports performance, energy and weight loss products and their
headquarters are in Carrollton, Texas.
The company employ around 250 people at their head office and also
have over 50,000 distributors (or IBO's). In 2001 Ragus died and the
company is now run by Richard H Wright.
The cost to join the Advocare International is pretty low at just $80. For
this the company give you $60 worth of products plus all the promotional
material needed to make sales. As a distributor you can earn 25% on all
items sold and as you move up the system, then you can earn around
40%. The Compensation plan is a stair step breakaway type which is a
pretty standard sort of plan used by most of the big mlm companies.
The products themselves have been endorsed by some pretty big names
in sport and the health and wellness industry and this only helps to add
credence to Advocare International. There are five major product lines and
they are: Definite Difference, Performance Elite, Active, Well and Trim,
each of which have a different function.
They are a little more pricey than other products that you would find in any
typical health shop, but the company have a good product following and
people will buy just because of the quality of the product.
The bottom line is that like most multi level marketing businesses the
emphasis is on selling products and recruiting people into the business.
The company themselves have longevity, a good product base and sound
financial backing, which is what you really want from a mlm business.
However with over 50,000 people already trying to make it with Advocare
international you would have to question whether there is any room at the
bottom to make some decent money.
In reality, with the right training and marketing skills, it is possible that you
can make money with any opportunity but you have to be seriously
dedicated, focussed and be willing to put a lot of time and effort into your
business to succeed.
However although 97% of people quit within their first three months of a
starting a multi level marketing businesses, this particular niche has
produced more millionaires than any other. Just keep in mind to do your
due diligence and get more information before you jump into any
opportunity.
