USANA published a new USANA Average Earnings Chart for United States Associates. Check it out
According to USANA’s own
statements:
- 58.01%
of total United States Associates in 2016 received $0.00
in yearly compensation.
- The Majority
of Associates join USANA to improve their health and purchase
products at a discount.
Consequently, many Associates never build a sales organization or
earn compensation from sales by other Associates in their sales
organization.
USANA misleads their
shareholders, FTC, SEC, and the general public by trying to excuse
the fact the majority of USANA associates received $0.00 commission
by claiming they only joined to “improve their health and purchase
products at a discount”. This is absolutely not true because USANA
also states that Preferred Customers can get the product at the same
discounted price as Associates do. Therefore the ONLY reason anyone
would sign up to become a USANA associate is to make money, otherwise
they would be a preferred customer.
However, it is
almost impossible for more than 50% of the USANA associates to
receive a commission anyway by the very nature of a binary
compensation plan. In even the most favorable scenario for
associates, which is a perfectly balanced binary tree several levels
down, at least 50% of associates will ALWAYS have no downline
associates. So no chance of commission for those at the bottom from
any downline associates (You are the bottom, right).
So USANA says you
can sign up Preferred Customers and make commission off them. Great,
too bad you can’t get any profit margin from retail sales to them
since they would buy the product at the same discounted price as the
associate. So you need at least 2 preferred customers to purchase
over 125 points for you each (about $150 each). That is worth a
whopping $25 for selling $300 worth of supplements. Unfortunately,
you cannot collect that $25 unless you personally purchase 100 points
($120) worth of product yourself every 4 weeks. OUCH! Oh, and USANA
is not legally allowed to give you that commission unless you can
show proof that you actually sold product to at least 5 customers!
Double whammy. It’s no wonder the majority of associates lose money
and quit.
“Don’t give up!”
is what all USANA associates are told. Okay, there is a way to make
money in USANA, but you have to first sell your soul to the devil, or
something like that. You just need to sell the business opportunity
instead. Don’t waste your time trying to push pills, potions, and
lotions. Instead push the idea of becoming rich. Sell the dream. Simply recruit
everyone you know and have each of them recruit everyone they know.
If everyone personally purchases the product every 4 weeks, then
almost half of everyone will at least receive a commission check. You
and a lucky few at the top of the hierarchy who signed up first will
receive the big bucks and actually make a profit! And get this,
nobody has to actually sell anything! Why, because USANA actually pays commission based on PRODUCT PURCHASED by downline associates, not on product sold by downline associates. Besides, why bother trying to resell it, you already
paid full price for the product anyway.
You see,
distributors in legitimate companies actually get the product at a
very low price. Customers are not able to get the product at the
distributor’s price. And distributors are able to mark up the
product by up to 100% in many cases. Imagine if you as a distributor
could purchase the HealthPak100 for $72.15 rather than $117.86 that
USANA charges for your “discounted price” today. That’s a heck
of a lot better price, right? Now you as the distributor could resell
it for 100% mark up is sell it at $144. That would be a heck of a
profit margin, except most people would not buy it for that price. So
drop your price all the way down to $117.86 and you still make $45.70
on the sale!
Unfortunately for the USANA distributors, that is not
how USANA operates. You see, in the above example USANA would still
make THE SAME PROFIT they are receiving today except YOU get the
product much cheaper and can sell it for a lot of money. However,
USANA would rather operate a pyramid scheme to enrich a small
percentage of select individuals who reside at the top of the
distributor hierarchy by having 45% of the price you current pay for product
to be used to pay commissions, which the majority of distributors
NEVER RECEIVE (58% received $0.00). The money paid by those majority of distributors who
participated in the business opportunity who never made a penny all
went to enrich the distributors at the top of the pyramid scheme.
