Why is your company right for you?
I love the range of wellness products, both for inside & outside the body. It can fit into my busy life. The products are beyond organic & non-GMO, because of the $300 million in Research & Development and over 100,000 scientific test done each year. I can always depend on the purity & potency of every product. Products are plant based and they do NO animal testing, have a 100% money back guarantee. Over half of the American Olympians use Shaklee because they can trust that the products will never get them banned from competition.
What are the best perks to your job?
Well, my passion is to help others gain better health. That's very fulfilling to me. But if you are talking about things that Shaklee offers, people can choose to earn a free car, first class all expense travel around the world, make extra money to pay bills, like your house payment, or college, or for retirement. There's even a free Mercedes-Benz that can be earned.
What is the biggest challenge of your job?
The Shaklee Difference, which is getting people to understand that the Shaklee Difference is a huge difference. The vitamin industry is not regulated by the FDA so people don't really know what they are taking unless it's Shaklee.
Why is your job worth your time?
Seeing the great health that people achieve is well worth it. Helping people is always worth it, especially helping them live longer an better lives.
What is the buy-in?
There are many ways. Membership is $19.95, one time only, which saves you 15% on all products. There are also many ways to get a free membership. There are many ways to join as a Distributor. This depends on what entry level you choose. There is a onetime $49.95 entry level which starts you as a Distributor. Or there are "Business in a Box" packages that start at $349.00 and go up to $1049.00 depending on what fits you. Most people come in with one of these packages.
What do you pay out of pocket every month?
$14.95 for a personal website.
Does your income come from your sales or the sales of the people who you recruited for your team?
Both.
What's your favorite product in the line that you recommend?
That is so hard. The Get Clean, non-toxic cleaners can improve the whole families health at once, and I love them. But, health is such a passion of mine and I also love the Life Plan products which build foundational health.
What does your income supplement?
Right now I am getting my products for less or free. I love this! Many people use their beginning incomes in their family budget.
What would it take for you to earn an average, full-time income with your business? $40,000, for example?
Senior Coordinator makes an average of $35,000. An Executive Coordinator makes an average of $49,000. How much you make all depends on how fast and how hard you are willing to work. It all depends on each person. Only you can decide that.
Advice for anyone looking to get into Direct Sales?
First choose a business that you have a passion for. Then align yourself with a credible company with longevity and solid science. It's good to start as soon as possible and don't be afraid of what the others say about Direct Sales. Choose one that fits into your life style.
Direct Sales has a sort of stigma associated with it. How do you respond to that?
Direct Sales is word of mouth. What is wrong with sharing things you love with people you love and respect? We always do that every day. What is wrong with you making money that way, rather than the store doing it?
