As far as their Marketing Plan goes, I've been told you always have to have product on hand for your clients. Meaning, you have to have a-dozen or so cans or boxes of product in-store. In short, you need to Stock-Pile the product. Their products are expensive to buy, even at wholesale prices.

Other products include a line of meal replacement supplements (for weight loss or gain) that contain the full nutrition of the original supplement, a patented isotonic sports drink designed to replace the nutrients lost during exercise, a fiber supplement that also contains large amounts of antioxidants as well as herbs and digestive enzymes, and snack bars containing the full nutrition in the original product.

Distributors initially earn a retail profit of 25%, but can qualify for better profit margins based on retail group volume in a single month. Once a particular level is reached, the distributor does not ever drop back to a lower level, regardless of subsequent sales volume. There are no personal maintenance requirements or minimums.

Distributors also earn wholesale profits of 5%-20% from other distributors in their downline who have not yet reached the top discount level. In addition, distributors receive 5% of the total group retail volume of 1st generation downline distributors who have achieved the top discount level, 4% of 2nd generation, 4% of 3rd generation, 3% of 4th generation, and 2% of 5th generation.
