The Official Herbalife business Review. If you are looking to partner with Herbalife read for yourself the facts prior to joining.
Mark Hughes set up Herbalife in 1980 but then died just before he turned 45 years old. However the company stayed in business and it has become a house hold name in the weight loss "healthy" food industry for over 30 years now.
The company reports it has almost 2,000,000 distributors in the United states and all around the world. It is a in public traded company on the New York Stock Exchange and with profits reported at $3,500,000,000.
This goes to show that what Herbalife is doing is definitely working out in the market place. Even though the economy has been hit as of late, being an evergreen weight control business, Herbalife has barely been affected by the world recession.
When You Join Herbalife
When you become a rep of Herbalife, you will get a starter kit containing some of the signature products, which you can use for yourself or market them to other customers to earn a commission.
These wants aren't unusual. Lots of the network associate companies set the least amount of activity you need to remain active.
There are a bunch of methods to build a profitable Herblife distribution business. One of the most commons ways is to retail or wholesale your Herbalife products.
But as with most MLM compensation plans, the big money is created by inducting other folks to enroll to build their own business. You then earn a small commission based primarily on the volume they and their new team creates.
As with any MLM business the way to earn money passively from other distributors is to build a huge team.
You and your team can then either retail of wholesale products. Enrolling or having a massive team of successful distributors is the secret to success. You can then earn commission for every one of your team member's sales and many with a big team, those commissions can start to add up fast.
Enrolling New Herbalife Distributors
It costs approximately $200 to enroll as a new distributor and you are given a choice to "upgrade" and also to purchase an extra inventory of products to have on hand for store sales and sampling.
The idea is to simply pass out product sample then follow up to take retail orders and see whether your prospect may have an interest in becoming more knowledgeable about the business opportunity.
This way you are building your customer base, but at the same time showing these customers the benefit of becoming a Herbalife business. So in essence you are killing two birds with one stone.
The truth of the matter is that, most Herbalife distributors have a hard time sponsoring people into their business. After they exhausted their memory jogger and told family and friends, they tend to run out of people to share their business with.
In looking at those who are having success, just a handful of distributors are earning in the 6 figures rang while others are making a small part-time income that probably will not cover their monthly auto-ship. This all boils down to marketing.
Marketing Your Herbalife Business
The #1 reason why most Herbalife distributors will not succeed is because they do not know how to market.
Knowing how to market is everything to all business these days and without learning it your business will fail. Marketing is what produces the leads, builds an interest in your products and creates loyal customers, and Herbalife is not an exception to this rule.
Understanding the most effective ways to market your products and services will become a key to your business success.
With that under consideration, perhaps one of the first things you need to do before starting your own Herbalife business is to gain some knowledge and understanding of how to market and generate leads. And once you learn how to market, you can create sales on demand sometimes Without picking up the phone.

Preparing A Successor For The Family Business
In-family transition is encumbered with a number of potential pitfalls arising from the intertexture of family issues with business issues. Selecting and preparing a successor is not without its challenges.
Among the array of business, personal, tax and estate issues that need to be addressed as part of the transition process, the preparation of the successor should be paramount. On this person will devolve much of the responsibility for carrying the business forward successfully.
Arranging continuity of management through in-family succession is a long-term project requiring long-term planning that systematically allows for:
initiation
identification and selection of potential successors
training, and
building support
Initiation
Initiation refers to the period in a family member's life when they passively 'learn' the business from family conversations about business related matters. They'll hear comment on how well or badly it is going, about the employees, about other involved relatives. If the overall impression these conversations create in them is negative, it's unlikely they will be interested in working for the business in later life.
If the aim is to encourage an heir to eventually enter the business then building the right mental attitude should start early. Demonstrating enthusiasm for the idea while emphasizing the positive aspects of the business and its potential will encourage them to think of it as a career path worth taking.
Identification and selection of a successor
Likely successors can be identified through their involvement with the business. This can be provided by periods of part-time work or holiday jobs in various positions, giving candidates the chance to try it out and see if they are interested and for the older generation to assess their suitability as successor.
Of the entire succession process, selection can be the most difficult step, especially if the choice is among a number of children. The decision may be viewed by siblings as favoring one of them over the others, a perception that can be disastrous to family wellbeing and sibling harmony. Avoiding the issue and waiting for family members to figure it out among themselves once the owner leaves is a prescription for disaster.
The decision as to the successor requires serious consideration of what is at stake. The future of the business depends on the chosen person having real managerial capability. The owner must honestly analyze the strengths and weaknesses of all potential successors separating out issues of family loyalty and fairness from issues of business acumen and strategic management ability.
If the business has an outside Board of Directors, their input regarding the suitability of potential successors can be a valuable sounding board.
In a worst-case scenario the owner should consider uncoupling ownership from management and appointing an outsider as CEO while the family retains ownership.
Training
Many a founding member of a family business learnt their management skills on the job and they often assume their children can do likewise. This may be possible in some instances, but consider the rapidly shifting business environment (outsourcing, cheap imports, new technologies, complex labor laws, increasing pressures on business to act in a socially responsible manner): most businesses could benefit from a manager with some formal training in the industry and in management.
The senior generation must analyze not just whether there is a viable successor within the family but also what experience and training that person will need if they are to make a meaningful contribution to the business.
Likely successors should work in different areas of the company so that they fully understand how the business operates. They should be placed in useful, responsible positions with well-delineated outcomes so that they have an opportunity to learn and to demonstrate their aptitude. In the smaller business this approach can present challenges because any one person is usually responsible for a wide variety of tasks. Nevertheless, candidates for succession cannot be evaluated effectively if they are not given responsibility and authority for some particular tasks.
Some families require that they work for a number of years outside the company to remove the personal relationship factor from training and expose them to what it really means to operate in an objective worker/management relationship.
Building support for the successor
A family member newly appointed as manager is encumbered with all sorts of baggage an outsider isn't. Something is likely to be known already, and judgments made on the basis of this knowledge - about their personality, about how the rest of the family treats them, about their capabilities. This can lead employees to discount them as 'boss' material, making it difficult for the new manager to impose his or her footprint on the business. While it is hard to negate these influences completely, it is worth making an attempt to consolidate a view of the successor as management material and worthy of respect in that capacity.
In business planning meetings among the family and in formal meetings with employees, the successor should be accorded due regard. In the day-to-day business operations, the successor should be treated much as an outside hire would be to build their position among employees. Position descriptions and honest performance reviews are just as valid for family members as for other employees.
Introducing them into the outside nexus of business relationships, such as customers, bankers and business associates, will identify them as the successor and give everyone time to get to know each other and develop respectful relations.
In-family business transition can work where the succession process is planned out to avoid the potential pitfalls. The keys to a selecting the most appropriate family member to take over the business are long-term planning by the owner, open discussion between the stakeholders and decision-making on the basis of what is best for the business, not what is best for any particular family member or to avoid family argument.
