Understanding the Programmes. Watch the Dr Herber  video - explaining how to understand the body and body shape. Watch Dr Luigi Gratton Video on balanced nutrition. The programmes help clients to gradually change their eating habits so that they can control their weight long term. For example, getting back into the routine of eating 3 times a day, getting a better balance of protein and carbs in their diets and finding alternatives for carb based snacks. What's a healthy breakfast? Is it cereals and toast? And for sports clients we have a programme focused on "fuelling, hydration, refuelling, repair and recovery" which helps clients understanding nutrient timing.

So you think that someone can lose weight or improve performance at sports through a healthy balanced diet? See quote from Dr Adam Carey, Head of Nutrition at the Rugby Football Union.

"The reason is not because most people don't eat any green vegetables," Carey says. "It's actually because the nutritional content of the food we eat is now significantly reduced to what it was 50 or 100 years ago."

Modern farming techniques - including the use of fertilisers and pesticides - mean modern food is less full of vitamins and minerals than similar produce even one or two generations ago, Carey explains. "We're seeing a gradual erosion of the nutritional content of food... in everything from the vitamin C content of oranges through to the zinc and copper levels in corns and other grains."

And those nutritional deficits are beginning to show - Carey says one in 10 young adults is deficient in one or more vitamins and minerals, with the numbers rising to 33% in the elderly. "While I would very much like to be in a world where I could encourage my children to eat only fruits and vegetables and good sources of meat, actually the reality of that is that we are sorely lacking in a number of areas," Carey warns. "And so supplementation may have a role to play."

"I use Herbalife products on and off the field for energy and focus. That way I can play my best game." Lionel Messi "I'm very happy to be associated with such a large, established nutrition company as Herbalife that's known around the world. Together, we can help spread the word about how healthy nutrition can help athletes achieve the most out of their training, while at the same time, work together on projects to help children at risk," said Messi

How do we earn money with Herbalife?

Its a combination of retail sales(profits), commissions, royalties, vacations and special promotions so initially 3 sources of income plus additional benefits.

Its a business with a product and a service(the weight loss challenge). A part-time income is typically in the range of £500-£1500 a month. New Wellness Clubs (one of the main activities) have accelerated the income to £1000 + per club. So 2 clubs = £ 2000+. Full time income = £2000- £10,000** a month.  **Earnings are unlimited.

Retail Profits - The Quick Start Programme works out at about £1.75 a meal, compared to the meal deal (sandwich, crisps and coke of £2.99) So with re-orders after 3 weeks, clients typically spend £85-£100 a month. So you are making a profit of say £40 a month at the maximum discount. So 30 customers x £40 = £1200 working part time. This could be working with customers one to one on the phone or via a weight loss challenge.

Wholesale Commission / Royalties - So you have acquired some new skills,  you know what questions to ask our clients to understand their challenges, you understand the programmes. You have too many clients. How about passing on that knowledge to others?

Take the UK as an example, there are 62 million people in the UK. How many will switch to our breakfast option, in your team? NOTE THIS IS A BUSINESS WITH A PRODUCT THAT IS CONSUMABLE ON A DAILY BASIS. SO CUSTOMERS CAN BE ON THE PROGRAMMES FOR 3-6 MONTHS OR A LIFETIME. 

Teach others to do what you do and generate a residual income. Understand how you can build your income beyond your own time. New video version, select English Live Version, then select "Watch Brilliant Compensation". 

Are you in an job /profession where your income is limited by your own time? A personal trainer for example, that can only work with 5 clients a day or 25 a week. Or any other job/profession where your time limits your overall earnings. With this marketing plan your income is only limited by YOUR desire, teachability and willingness to work. You can make wholesale profits of between 8% and 25%. This means if your discount is 42% or 50% and a VIP member orders direct with Herbalife, the company pays you the difference between their discount and yours i.e. typically 17-25%. If a new coach in your team is on the same discount as you, then a 5%  royalty is paid on the retail turnover. That could be on wellness clubs under your supervision, for example. That's why there are more individuals earning more than $100,000 a year with Herbalife than any other company worldwide. And why you will be able to expand the business beyond your own time, unlike so many other small businesses. See example of earnings. Its not only musicians who earn royalties!

Earn extra income around your current job and other commitments, set your own hours, develop a significant residual income. The ideal scenario is where you are earning more from this part time business than a full time job. So you move from a significant second income to financial independence after say 6 months - 2 years, the exact timing really depends on how much you are earning now.

Training

BIG Marketing is one of the fastest growing marketing groups in the world. The reason for the growth is the immense level of support provided to wellness coaches in areas such as training, team building, personal development and marketing. We run the following training days: ROM - Regional General Training Day BYB -  Higher level General Training day Arriba School - Half day training on the Arriba Weight Loss Challenge Plus online training

How to get started?

1. Concluded that you don't want to be stuck with a succession of low paid jobs for the next 40 years. You don't want to be vulnerable to redundancy in your 30s and 40s. That you don't want to be paid by the hour as limits earning potential. Or always put your future in the hands of others. You have a passion for helping others. Concluded that anyone can start a part time business with some motivation and ambition but you want a low start up option. That the Wellness Sector suits you. That you can see why Herbalife is expanding so quickly. The next Super Brand!

2.  Register as a Wellness Coach

Option A - To get started as a Wellness Coach we recommend that you start using the products. Taking a shake in place of your lunch or breakfast. See some results for yourself such as higher energy levels, lose or gain weight, recover more quickly from sports. Get into the mindset of sharing results and testimonials. Understand how we personalise the programmes for the individual based on your own personal experience. You can order 1 through 4 products. The standard kit, contains 4 products. It also contains registration form, manuals, DVD and all the information you need to get started. Complete the registration form in the IBP and your details are added to the Herbalife Computer System allowing you to work in any of 80 countries. The standard IBP with 4 products costs £69.95**. And now includes a free training day. With this option, your details are added to our directories by post code.

"Just because the cost of registration is less buying an IPod, treat it seriously! The consensus of those already working in the business is treat it like you have invested £7k or £70k. This will focus your mind on how you can significantly increase your income and change your lifestyle"

Option B - Registration with 1/2/3 products. Talk to us about this option. If you have read all the info online, listened to a webinar, been to a seminar, spoken to us and think its an exciting and rewarding opportunity for you, then we can help you get started. If your only question for us "whats the cost of starting" then probably not!

Option C - Do you have a twitter account, or facebook or other type of social networking site? Join our free affiliate programme and add links to web sites, blogs, directories etc. Here you don't have any direct contact with our clients, hence the income is lower. Its a way of getting started.

3. Use the products. Take the shake in place of cereals/toast or skipping breakfast or your lunch. Most cereals don't contain that much fibre and many contain lots of sugar! "The Great Cereal Scandal" .  Feel the difference in energy levels after 3/4 days, lose weight /gain weight etc perform better at sports. Millions of customers around the world start their day with one of our healthy breakfast shakes. As per new advertising campaign featuring Lionel Messi "Have you had your shake today?!" Now you see the value of these programmes and all the research/science that has gone into their development will help you decide how much time you are going to put into this project.

4. Watch and listen to two live training webinars held weekday evenings at 9pm(usually on a Tuesday and Thursday). These cover the fundamentals of how to get started.

5. Make a decision whether you are looking for extra income or is it a drive towards financial independence from this business. Set some goals for yourself or nothing will happen!

6. Sign into training web sites. As you can expect from a £3 billon company,  we do a lot of training online e.g. audio and video training. Print off checklists covering all areas of our business.

7. Attend  a training day (ID 8905) usually held at the weekend between the hours of 10am and 4pm, now free of charge when you order the IBP. These training days take place every 4-6 weeks.

Month 2 - Attend a 2nd training day, for example on the Arriba Weight Loss Challenge, which costs £16 (half day). These takes place every 3-4 months.

Month 3 - Attend a 3rd training day, a higher level training, which costs £25. This takes place every 3-4 months.

** Why is the entry cost so low? Most people start the business part time and then increase their hours over time. You are effectively investing your time. 

Compare to:

- you spend £2500 + to qualify as a personal trainer and you find that it takes years to get your monies back. Your income is limited as there are only so many hours available in one week. No one is helping you to find new clients, you have no marketing or business support.

- well known Slimming Club Franchise, which costs £18,000 plus Vat. Yet to make any money with this franchise you are expected to run 10 classes quite an undertaking and then only to make £25 k a year. With our business model you can run 2/3 clubs and then supervise the running of others. Or get involved in the other activities such as working from home or the internet side of our business.

- opening a shop or other business with a very high start up cost and high overheads. Then what happens in a downturn, is that they are still paying the high overheads and many don't survive.

- well known Fast Food Franchise, costing £250,000 with finance costs(overheads) of £2000 a month!

Compare Overheads:

Considering a Franchise Type Business? The advantage is that the franchisor gives you support - usually including training, help setting up the business, a manual telling you how to run the business and ongoing advice. But also the disadvantages? The start up costs typically run into thousands, and you pay continuing management service fees. The franchisor often resents paying these fees after the first couple of years.
