The ViSalus Sciences MLM is emerging as a company to watch in the network marketing industry. If you are curious about the program and whether or not it is a scam, this article will give you an unbiased review of the business and the opportunity.
1) The Company
Blake Mallen, Nick Sarnicola, and Ryan Blair are the co-founders of the ViSalus Sciences company. Their vision for the company was to intertwine passion for people with health and a business opportunity. ViSalus is taken from the Latin derivatives “Vi,” meaning Life, and “Salus,” meaning Health and Prosperity. The company began in March 1997 and is based in Troy, Michigan. The company has branch offices in California also.
2) ViSalus Products
The ViSalus line of products contains traditional health MLM products such as vitamins, supplements, weight loss, and anti-aging products. The Vi-PAK products were the first for the company. The vitamin packs come in AM/PM pre-divided out packs. ViSalus ViPAK retails for $150 for a 30 day supply.
ViSalus brought to market a weight loss program called the Trim Slim Shape Program. They offer about every type of weight loss product including shakes, deter mints, a recipe booklet, personal journal, and a measuring tape to measure your success.
ViSalus NEURO products are formulated to give your body as well as your mind a lift.
3) Compensation Plan
The ViSalus home business is a network marketing company. There are a couple of options of how you can join: “Associate” for $39, or the $499 level “Executive Success System.” ViSalus operates with a unilevel comp plan. This pay plan is characterized by having a certain number of “qualified” legs as well as meet specific sales volume levels. Another required step is that you have to maintain a monthly “autoship.” These things have to be done for you to receive your commission checks. Just like with any other network marketing organization, you can advance through the ranks and achieve a higher pay scale and qualify for added bonuses.
4) Conclusion
To summarize, ViSalus is not a scam. It is a legitimate MLM company that gives its distributors the opportunity to earn an income as well as take useful products. ViSalus has some potential problems though. The network marketing industry is extremely competitive. Although ViSalus has high quality products, they are still the standard pills, capsules, drinks, and powders that so many network marketers have grown tired of promoting. What is the reasoning for this? It is because it becomes difficult to make your company and product stand out from the crowd of other herbal supplement MLM companies. Some of these other companies include Herbalife, Pharmanex, Usana, and Noni. What makes one unique from another? It often comes down to the “expert” advice and recommendation of one doctor over another.
Likewise, if you want to make it in the MLM market you have to offer products that are unique. You need products that are highly consumable and also one of a kind. This ensures that you will be able to market your products to a wide variety of potential prospects and be able to earn an income.
