On The Lookout For A Shaklee Scam? Is There One?
Shaklee has been around for quite a long time, in fact they are one of the longest companies in the industry. The environment and customer care very strong core values of this company.
Shaklee gives the impression of a trustworthy company built on good ethics. There is a real sense of customer care and also for the planet as well. Their complete product range is made from sustainable ingredients and all packaging is recyclable material. Their main offices in Pleasanton, California are built from environmentally materials believe it or not! The building is also pretty impressive if you look at their pictures. This company have set high standards for others in the market to work towards.
1956 was when Shaklee was born, it was the idea of Dr F Shaklee. In 1915 he created one of the first ever multivitamins in the world and called them ‘Vitalized Minerals’. When he founded Shaklee he actually helped pioneer the nutritional supplement industry and the word-of-mouth business model.
Its just been a period of growth and prosperity since then. The company has a very large distributor base which currently stands at around 750 thousand people. There is some crazy number of around 1600 of them who have earned a million bucks or more from the company.
Shaklee has taken many steps to ensure that every process of their product manufacturing does not damage the planet. So much so that they were one of the 1st companies to be awarded the highly acclaimed Climate Neutral certification. It obvious to anyone they are working very hard to be a ‘green’ company.
What’s in it for the customers?
There are plenty of products to choose from, all of good quality. Health & nutrition supplements, weight loss, beauty and also household products. The motto for their products is ‘always safe, always work and always green’.
Compared to other network marketing companies you won’t struggle too much to sign up as a distributor. From a cost point of view they are pretty reasonable with a basic level entry at $40 going all the way up to $750 for the more serious folks. If you like flashy cars and expensive, exotic holidays then you will feel at home at the higher leadership levels of the compensation plan. Shaklee will make sure you are not left without your reward.
The more I look at this company the more positive facts seem to surface, in my honest opinion I don’t think this company is out to rip people off. Shaklee are indeed a respectable company doing some good thing in the industry, many companies could take a leaf out of their book.
There seems to be generally a lack of good training in our industry, Most MLM companies are just giving out the usual training of prospecting friends, family, warm list etc… This leads to a massive failure rate and a whole horde of disgruntled ex distributors, people then start talking, stories are told and one thing leads to another. Some may just feel like they got ripped off and can end up with a story far from glamorous to tell, over time this can lead to some bad rep for the industry as a whole, even though the business model itself is legitimate and based on helping others to succeed.
The reality is that we don’t need to struggle in network marketing we can quite easily have the success that we deserve. There are in fact only two problems that you need to solve to be ultimately successful. They are a lack of leads and a lack of cash flow. Both of these problems can be solved quite easily if you know how.
