Herbalife - Is Herbalife a Good Opportunity Or a Bust?

Herbalife is a well known network marketing company that offers nutrition, weight-management and personal care products. However there is much concern about becoming a distributor with Herbalife. In this article we will take an unbiased look at the good and the bad of this MLM opportunity.The Good:Herbalife was founded in 1980 and has gone from selling products out of the trunk of (the founder) Mark Hughes' car, to an international company with distribution in 72 countries.Having good nutritition and controlling weight is a topic on everyone's mind. Today, with all the (bad) government press on health care, having a publicly traded company providing products in the nutrition and weight loss arena with this kind of tenure is a very positive selling point.Many people use these products every day, and their web site has numerous reports from medical experts on the values of their products.The Bad:While Herbalife's products may be in the "modern times" their marketing techniques and relationship with their distributors is not. They like to "strong arm" their distributors into buying "opportunity leads" and promote their business instead of the products. They also like to promote the "friends and family" approach to building the distributors downline.In today's market, talking to everyone that looking for a quick money, or to plead with your friends and family to join you business is just a bad marking position. Professional marketing training is an absolute must if you want to succeed.In Conclusion:If you are using the Herbalife products and you can personally see a real benefit of these products, you may be on your way to being successful. However you must pick up some professional marketing training along the way. The ultimate goal of each marketer is financial success, and yours will be determined by the marketing skill set you develop.Get the training, and as you continue to lose some weight with the weight loss product, you may also reach your dreams. Without the training you need to be prepared to lose the weight and all your savings.
