Here are some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
We are often asked the same questions from people just like you.
We hope this helps you make a decision.
FAQ: How and when did Herbalife get started?
A: Herbalife started as a weight loss company in 1980, by Mark Hughes.
His mother died from an accidental overdose of prescription diet pills and that
traumatic event motivated Mark to dedicate his life to helping people lose weight
safely. Today, Herbalife is in 51 countries and has over 35 million people taking
our products. Herbalife is the largest health, nutrition, and weight loss company
in the world.
FAQ: What kinds of products does Herbalife have?
A: Since Herbalife's inception as a weight loss company, its impressive
staff of doctors and scientists have greatly expanded our product line to include
targeted health and nutritional products. We constantly hear how our health
products have reduced or eliminated symptoms of asthma, diabetes, high blood
pressure, high cholesterol, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, digestive ailments,
menopause, PMS, prostate problems, and much more.
In addition, Herbalife also offers Dermajetics&;, arguably the finest personal
care products available today. Our Dermajetics&; line includes cleansers,
toners, moisturizers, night creams, body lotions, soaps, hair products, and
everything necessary for personal care and hygiene. Like our all of our products,
the Dermajetics&; line is made with all natural, herbal, and botanical elements.
Additionally, no animal testing is done and no animal by-products are used in
anything we sell.
To complete and complement our Dermajetics&; line, we recently added Colour
Cosmetics. This European line of makeup is truly the silkiest, most vibrant
and beautiful make-up available anywhere today! Already a big hit in Europe,
our Colour Cosmetics is proving to be an extraordinary addition to our product
line.
FAQ: What exactly would I be doing?
A: Your "daily" activities are entirely up to you. There are
many ways to earn money with Herbalife, and you can choose what interests you
most as you become familiar with us. Just about everyone wants to either lose
weight, increase their energy, improve their health, look better, or make more
money. Most of us help others achieve their goals while improving our own health,
wealth and lifestyle. Believe me, there is no shortage of people who want to
work at home and have what we have&;better health and increased wealth!
FAQ: So how do I do those things?
A: We'll teach you what to do and how to do it. There are literally hundreds
of ways to succeed in this business. What's important to remember is that we
offer what virtually everyone wants; good health, great appearance, and financial
independence.
Since we've been doing this for 21 years, we simply plug you into a system that
we know works. You don't have to figure out how to do it. You only have to be
teachable and willing to put in the effort necessary to get things done. Even
though you'll be in business for yourself, you won't be in business by yourself.
We'll be there every step of the way to help your business soar. You will succeed
if you don't quit!
FAQ: How do I make money?
A: We'll show you how to put money in your pocket immediately. There
are actually six ways for compensation with Herbalife. You'll learn more about
all of them later. But briefly, just one of the ways you make money is on the
difference between the wholesale and retail price difference as people purchase
products from you. For instance, I buy my Herbalife products at a 50% discount
from the company. So when I pay $100 for products and sell them for the retail
price of $200, I make a 100% return on my investment! Not bad. You can start
anywhere from a 25% discount to a 50% discount. You'll learn how and why to
get to the higher discount when you get started.
Another way to earn money is by finding and sponsoring people like yourself
who want to work at home. By teaching them what we teach you, you'll not only
help them meet their financial goals but will be realizing your own dreams.
Herbalife pays you for the efforts of those you sponsor into the company. There's
virtually a limitless means of income in this part of the business. Again, we'll
teach you exactly how to do this.
FAQ: Is this a pyramid thing?
A: Absolutely not! Pyramids are illegal! We would not have been in business
20 years if this were a pyramid. Herbalife is a direct sales organization (as
opposed to retail sales). Our distributors market the products directly, instead
of having them sold on store shelves. Because as distributors we use and love
the products ourselves, we are much better at helping people choose the right
programs for their needs.
FAQ: Do you have to be a salesperson to be successful in this business?
A: No. Some of our distributors consider themselves "shares people"
though, because they share the many benefits of our products with others. When
you see a good movie, or read a great book, or eat at a fine restaurant, do
you ever tell others about it? Does that make you a salesperson? Does the restaurant,
theatre, or book publisher ever pay you for telling people about their product?
Well Herbalife does. Isn't that neat? You let people know what you have and
they will want it. Believe me.
FAQ: How do I find customers?
A: The number of ways to find people is countless. What works best, however,
is to simply let people know you're in business. In addition to the people you
know, there are literally thousands of people within your reach who would love
to have what you offer. We'll show you dozens of ways to let them find you.
It's really quite simple.
FAQ: What if I'm new here and don't know anyone. How can I make this work?
A: Knowing a lot of people is not a requisite for being successful in
this business. A friend of mine, George Malouf, was a college student from Lebanon.
He came here with very little money, speaking almost virtually no English, and
had absolutely no friends or acquaintances. He didn't even have a car. Yet,
in less than a year George was earning over $5,000 a month with his Herbalife
business. He's now making much more, but says the best part is that he now has
a lot of friends! If George can be successful given his disadvantages, you can
too.
FAQ: Are there quotas or minimum production levels I have to reach?
A: No. There are no "have to's" in this business, (with the
exception of adhering to the legal and ethical guidelines set forth). It's your
business, so only you determine its success.
FAQ: How do I get trained?
A: One of the many things that make Herbalife such a successful company
is its extraordinary training programs. You'll learn via video and audiocassettes,
through our telephone communications network (Touch-Fon), through written material,
and on TV with our own Herbalife Broadcast Network (HBN) satellite programming.
You'll also receive information via fax, through the Internet, with our live
Success Training Seminars (STS) and through your sponsor or mentor. In 1999,
Herbalife won the National Business Training Award of the year, beating out
companies like IBM, UPS, and Microsoft.
FAQ: Do I have to go to meetings?
A: Again, you don't have to do anything. Some people promote their business
with weekly home meetings, others never have meetings and let people know they
are in business with ads, posters, flyers, web sites, etc. The only meetings
you should always attend are the Success Training Seminars (STS), which occur
monthly in most major cities. They are not mandatory but they are essential
to your success in the business. They are fun, motivating, informative, and
interesting. In addition, they show you how to put money in your pocket now.
Nothing will help you succeed faster than attending every STS!
FAQ: How much money can I expect to make in my first year, fifth year, etc.?
A: As you might expect, the amount of money you earn will be contingent
on the effort you put into it. If you treat this as a hobby or if you "try
it out" to see if "it" works, it's doubtful you'll become one
of our millionaires very soon. However, if you apply yourself, go to the STSs,
do what we suggest, and just stick with it you could make from $10,000 to $100,000
your first year. By your 5th year, you could be earning that much a month. It's
up to you. By the way, Herbalife has more millionaires than ANY other company&;including
Microsoft!
FAQ: What if I have a friend or family member who wants to do this business
with me?
A: That's great! We'll show how both of you can become Supervisors at
the same time with a shared investment (so you can purchase products at a 50%
discount). Becoming a Supervisor insures the fastest and most certain path to
success. As a Supervisor, you'll earn income in six categories&;including
bonuses and paid vacations to exotic destinations.
FAQ: How do I get started and how much does it cost?
A: To get started with us you simply purchase an International Business
Package (IBP) with your next order. The IBP contains the material necessary
to get you registered with Herbalife, along with other valuable information
and material to help you get started in your own home business. The cost for

The only way to fail at this business is to quit (or not get started). Sometimes
fear of the unknown keeps people from taking action. That's why we give you
as much information as possible about us before you make your decision. There

change your life-for good! Or you can choose to do nothing and stay right where
you are now. That means you can expect to still being there for many years to
come.

have to change. Procrastination is the biggest killer of success. Get started
now in achieving what you've always wanted. Most importantly, feel good about
yourself and in knowing the difference you can make in the lives of others.
