The company's ethical moral worry me most:

Herbalife used to have Ephedra in the herbalife weight loss products, Ephedra is an herbal stimulant also used for bodybuilding and appetite suppressant. Ephedrine, the active ingredient in ephedra, also called ma huang, is a chemical cousin of amphetamines and increases both blood pressure and heart rate, say experts.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration have linked ephedra to hundreds of adverse reactions and dozens of deaths. Canada banned this substance last year, but you know how the US lags behind...

"Herbalife International Inc. continues to sell herbalife weight-loss products containing ephedra, following lawsuits blaming the substance for customer deaths."

Here are 2 web links which I found quite interesting...have a look.

A Lesson In Herbalife Business Opportunity

Conclusion:

Herbalife is another front loading MLM company, In herbalife business opportunity, you are a distributor - you have to stock up, take order, collect money, do paper work, handle complains and product returns. Personally, I would prefer the company at least handle some of these work for me.

Herbalife is a 20 year old billion dollar company. Consequently, a large number of people have been exposed to the herbalife business opportunity, you may run into lots of people, particularly in the U.S. whose mind are no longer open to the Herbalife business opportunity, unless they can be convinced that Herbalife program is not what it used to be.

Herbalife program compensation plan is also one of a relatively few comp plans, called breakaways, that are utilized mainly by older companies, such as Amway, Nuskin, NSA, Shaklee, and others.

Most MLM companies startup of recent years have stayed away from breakaway plans and have opted to use unilevels and binaries. You have to be really careful about the start up and on going running cost involved in Herbalife. Try to justify the cost as much as possible to the benefit.

Again the herbalife products guarantee of 30 days is far too short especially for wellness products. The herbalife program compensation plan could hurt distributors with encouragement in front loading, buying into the supervisor status in order to get higher commission. The breakaways would certainly hurt your built up organization.

If you type in "herbalife" as your keyword in any search engine, it will turns up thousands of links, more than "Monica Lewinsky" - Most of them are your competitors. You may have to learn one more skill...how to fight?
