Shaklee

Shaklee MLM Review

The Shaklee.com home-based income opportunity is from Roger Barnett.

They are a health and beauty aids company that uses multi-level marketing as its model for distribution, sales, and promotions.

In this review, we aim to find out if they are a legitimate direct sales company or a pyramid scheme.

As we always say MLM is seldom recommended here, and the Shaklee MLM business is no exception.

That being said, Shaklee does have decent products and has been around for a very long time.

It is a testament to them that they’ve outlasted many other MLM opportunities through the decades since 1956.

However, just because they’ve endured for so long does not guarantee that you will by being one of their many, many distributors.

Here is one reason why.

A government committee came up with some disturbing figures after taking a good hard look at its practices.

This is what they came up with, in a nutshell:

The average Shaklee distributor makes less than $800 per year yet end up spending several thousand more than they ultimately make.

So yes, this is the norm rather than the exception.

Yet a brochure claims that distributor incomes of between about $85,000 and a little over a quarter million a year or $276,480/year.

They report about half a million in annual sales, yet there is almost 750,000 reps distributing their products.

Well, you can see the math does not go in their distributors’ favor.

Yup, even with people that worked very hard at recruiting a downline and selling their expensive products.

I have seen that those joining the business opportunity side of this end up quitting but continue to buy the products.

This is exactly what an MLM business needs.

Yes, they NEED people to FAIL!

Many don’t understand that the FTC has rules in place that require an MLM to have 70% of the people involved with their company to be pure customers that have nothing to do with the income opportunity side.

When they fall outside of that 70% requirement, the legitimate direct sales MLM actually turns into a pyramid scheme.

Yes, you read that right!

If former business builders are still buying their products, they essentially get new customers for free.

Free to them, not to YOU!

 

DISCLAIMER: This review has been fully researched with information, comments, and testimonials that are available on the internet to anyone in the public space. Any conclusions drawn by myself or anyone else on the ScamXposer staff are purely opinions.

 

The bottom line, you will not make money with this product as a bottom feeder.

But this MLM will do spectacularly well.

This is due to the fact that they only share the income information of the top 1% percent of its distributors.

This lends credence to our saying that the majority of people that fail at MLM are the 99% that are below them.

Unless you are a magnetic cult-like leader with followers that would buy a clump of dirt from you for ten times the price…

Chances are you won’t be in that one percent with Shaklee.

Sorry to say.

But if you feel like buying a $50 gallon of laundry detergent from them along with the other overpriced, though decent quality, products, then, by all means, feel free to do so.

This Shaklee MLM opportunity is not a business we will ever recommend.
