Comparison of Network Marketing Companies

ViSalus Sciences
Initial investment: $39 for Basic Track; $499 for Executive Success System

ViSalus Sciences anchor product is the Vi-Pak. The Vi-Pak is a health supplement system that has a patented anti-aging and energy formula. The product was designed by Dr. Seidman. ViSalus has just introduced a new energy drink product called Neuro that is toted as "Smart Energy."

Although, ViSalus is about making money the company also focuses on mentoring and improving the health of the world one person at a time. ViSalus' Fusion Training System ensures that their representatives will not fail.

To succeed in ViSalus you only need to find five individuals to sign up under you. Once you have your five you then help at least two of your people find their five. Due to this upline mentoring and the fact that ViSalus is still a ground floor opportunity the success rate among ViSalus representatives is high. No matter what level you are at your commission is always 5% for up to nine levels deep, ViSalus also awards many bonus for training, and for new customers and business partners.

Unlike most network marketing companies ViSalus makes it easy for their representatives to earn free cars and cruises. A free BMW can be earned at just the third level of the company known as a Regional Director. A cruise can be earned by any representative that earns enough points in a nine month period.

Herbalife
Initial Investment: $87.95

Herbalife focuses on nutrition and weight loss. Herbalife was founded in 1980 by Mark Hughes. I could not find an specific information on how or who their products were developed by, only some names that are on their "Advisory Board."

Herbalife distributors also seem to focus on helping others by increasing their health. I could not find any specific information on their training program or compensation plan. For a network marketing company the Herbalife web site lacks any real information about the company's business opportunity and had a few pages that wouldn't even load.

I could not find any information on what if any large rewards distributors could earn.

New Vision
Initial investment: $14.95

New Vision focuses on nutrition and aromatherapy. New Vision was founded in 1995 by the Boryeko family. The New Vision web site did not give specifics on who develops their products. Although there are a few pdf's that give additional information on studies that support the ingredients in some of their products.

New Vision also seems to be focused on improving the health of others while making money. I was disappointed to see that their training is considered a reward and does not seem to be available until you are at a high level.

The New Vision compensation plan is a typical confusing pyramid of increases percentages that is seen in most new tork marketing companies. Your commission percentage changes with each level you are at and as you rise to each new level you have to increase your number of "productive legs." This means continuous recruiting to improve your business.

The rewards start at $500 and range to $10,000. All rewards can be earned only once.
