Forever Living Products

Health, Beauty, Wellness, Aloe Vera and Multi Level Marketing- a familiar formula but as always we come into this with an open mind. Forever Living Products is all of these things and more…but is it a successful company with a good product and a good opportunity for you? Only one way to find out…

Let's dig into the details of this company and see what's up.

Forever Living: the Products

Mostly based on the healing, restorative, and enriching properties of the Aloe Vera plant, Forever Living Products contain this botanical gel, and are enhanced with modern science for results that offer all sorts of benefits to consumers like:

• immune system support
• skin hydration
• digestive system cleansing
• skin renewal
• energy

Products range from skin care lines to antioxidant rich drinks and are made with 100% pure aloe. Quality is ensured because Forever Living Products® owns their own aloe farms in Texas and the Dominican Republic, where they own the largest aloe plantation in the world.

Natural fertilizer from goats and sheep is used, and these animals also provide weed control. Plants are harvested by hand and the aloe is processed within hours for the freshest product.

So far all this sounds great. Load yourself up with scientific knowledge of health benefits of Aloe, arm yourself with details on how great the FLP farming and harvesting processes are for the environment and the local communities, and you're on your way.

Products are very reasonably priced, with many under $30.

The Company

These guys have been around for almost 40 years- and they are a multi-billion dollar company. Is there any need to go further?

The leader, Rex Maughan, has a business degree and has serious previous experience running large companies. He's impressive, admirable, and visionary…everything a good CEO should be.

He's also the founder of the company, which started out in 1978 with 43 people in Tempe, Arizona. Now, if you can believe the Forever Living Products website, they have 9.5 million distributors! Forever Business Owners (FBOs), as they're called, are spreading the word in over 150 countries.

You must admit this is impressive. This company is solid.

The Compensation Plan

To become an FBO, you'll be asked to apply. They'll ask for your personal information, including your Social Security Number, your contact info, and how you want to be paid (direct deposit or a third party payment system called “Forever Global Pay”.

One reassuring thing is that there is no monthly fee, you're not forced to buy anything, and there's no membership fee, either.

So, what's the catch? None that I could find.

You get to purchase the FLP products at a discount and sell them for 43% profit. Compare this to running a retail store where you buy wholesale and sell retail, only there's no overhead.

You also get a discount for yourself, up to 18% when you sponsor new customers and mentor them for making their own sales. Bring them along, help them get promoted, and together form a Group. When that happens you yourself get a Group Volume Bonus of up to 13% on your team members.

There's a Leadership Bonus you get for every one of your team that becomes a Manager: 2% bonus on those downlines, up to 6%.

Finally, what would a successful MLM be without all-expense paid trips to their convention, world travel bonuses, and the ubiquitous car payment for super sellers. FLP even goes so far as to offer you the choice of

• car payment
• boat payment
• house payment
• choose your own asset!

So, what do you have to do? Purchase a Business Pak, sell 4 case credits per month, and build your team. There's training on their website plus product brochures, there are meetings in every state, and of course their big Rallies for convention-style training and motivation.

The Verdict

With almost 40 years in business, plus great products based on can't-go-wrong Aloe Vera, Forever Living Products is a solid opportunity. The only thing to worry about is over saturation of the market with distributors. Find out what's already in your corner of the world and maybe you'll get lucky with no reps near you yet.

Forever Living Review

Forever Living Products International, Inc. (FLP) is a health-based MLM that focuses on aloe vera and bee-derived products.

Rex Maughan in Scottsdale Arizona founded FLP in 1978. He still serves as the company’s CEO even to this day.

Forever Living FLP Company Information

FLP has been subject to much scrutiny, due to several reports that FLP focuses on new member recruitment, instead of selling actual products. It also paid a fine of $280,000 in Hungary due to advertising and marketing methods.

Forever Living Products

The main flagship product for Forever Living is an aloe vera based drink that comes in three flavors (cranberry, peach, and natural). This was the first product and continues to be one of the most popular selling products in the Forever Living network.

Today, Forever Living sells other aloe vera based products including toothpaste, colognes, laundry detergent, aftershave, deodorant, lip balm, creams, soaps, lotions, and hair care products.

In 1993, FLP launched a bee based product line called Forever Bee. Forever Bee sells four main bee products including royal jelly, bee pollen, bee propolis, and pure honey. Forever Bee gets their ingredients directly from the hive to ensure ingredients are safe and high quality.

Today, FLP expanded upon their product lines and now sell various supplements and other health care products consisting of several natural ingredients.

Forever Living Compensation Plan

The main way FLP distributors earn money is through retail profit. Distributors pay wholesale prices for FLP products at a 30% discount. FLP distributors then resell the product at retail price for a 43% ROI.

Example: A distributor buys $1,000 worth of product at a wholesale cost of $700. They then sell the product for $1,000 and earn a profit of $300. Obviously, with this earning method it is important to sell as much product as possible.

Another way to earn money is by referring other distributors to the FLP network. As you recruit more members to the FLP network, your bonus on how much they sell will continue to go up.

For example, a person at manager level only earns 6% on 1st generation sales, 3% on 2nd generation referral sales, and 2% on 3rd level referral sales. However, somebody in the diamond membership earns 9%, 6% and 5%.

Plus, a lot of group volume bonuses are given out as you and your referrals reach certain sales milestones. In some cases, group volume bonuses can be as high as 18%.

Other Forever Living Benefits

Finally, Forever Living has a variety of other incentives that include free travel incentives, an allowance for a luxury care rental, or several other incentives.

Plus, Forever Living hosts a series of events each year for Forever Living members to meet other distributors and to learn how to earn more with Forever Living each year.
