The FTC announced new proposed rulemaking in January 2025 focused on MLM earnings claims and business opportunity disclosures. Key proposals include requiring standardized income disclosures, banning misleading earnings claims, and requiring companies to disclose the percentage of participants who lose money. However, the regulatory freeze under the new administration has paused these proposals. If these rules do go into effect, how would they impact the industry? Would they help clean up the bad actors, or would they make it impossible for legitimate companies to operate?
Great breakdown of the compensation plan. One question - when you say you earn 5% on your first level, is that 5% of wholesale or retail price? Because that distinction makes a huge difference in actual dollar amounts.
How long did it take you to build your team to that level? And what percentage of your team members are actually active versus just maintaining autoship?
The best advice I ever got was to spend 80% of my time on customer acquisition and 20% on recruiting. Most new distributors do the opposite because recruiting has bigger potential payoffs. But without customers, you are just building a house of cards.
