Answer 1

Run away fast.

If you have to purchase their product in order to make money, AND recruit others to do the same, you are being asked to be accessory to a crime.

Pyramid selling causes massive damage to economies around the world every year. The product may be great, but the business plan is an unmitigated disaster.

Wolfman has it all wrong here. What they are asking you to do is join in a network marketing company which is not only 100% legal, it can be very lucrative as well.

From what you have told me about their compensation plan, I see some big problems. Does your initial investment of $300 include a case of product? Why do you have to spend so much each month? 3% payback is downright scary!

Another problem I see here is the product itself. If it's just an energy drink, you will have a very difficult time marketing that.
Here is how my company works so you can compare.
Membership is $35 USD plus one case of product, so total is less than $200. I market a functional fruit juice which is the only one on the market with medical validation. It is an adaptogen, meaning it goes to work on all auto-immune deficiencies, including arthritis, as well as 37 other deficiencies that it has proven to help with. For athletes, it cuts their recovery time in half as well as giving them the endurance they need. So your market is wide open.
Here's where we shoot the 3% down.
Product rebate: 20% on all points over the first case.
Fast Start Bonus: 20% paid on every new reps first 2 months of product purchases
10 level compensation plan:
Advancement bonuses: Every time you advance a level, you are paid on it, when you reach Royal Ambassador you receive $15,000.00 in a one time bonus. First level is $150, etc.
World wide bonus pool: 2% of all sales goes into a pool for all leaders.
Ambassador Generational Bonuses: Goes through all levels at 2% up to 7%.
Matching Bonus: Most powerful leadership development strategy. Earn 20-60% on the 10 level earnings of all your personally enrolled.
Royal Ambassador Bonus: Earn up to $5,000/mo to help cover training expenses.
Travel Bonus.
No other company offers a compensation plan like this. Your monthly commitment is one case, $129. plus shipping, but anyone who is working the business usually goes through more than that. I often run out when I had 10 cases stacked up! People truly want this product because of what it has done for their health.

Just wanted to give you something to compare, I started earning an income my 2nd day because I shared it with 3 people, that made me a Director so I got the $20 fast start bonus on each case. Now I have a much larger organization and make $10 fast start on every case that goes through for 2 months.

I really don't know what you can say to them at the meeting with only a 3% payout. I'm curious how they do that too!

Hi Supercha,It is not considered a good business where you only get 3% from $350 and they get the rest sounds like the rich get richer and you get poorer,Pyramids DON'T WORK so watch you don't get burnt.
