Whether you have joined already, or you’re still evaluating, this ViSalus review will help, and I’ll also show you what you must watch out for with the ViSalus BMW car bonus.

The Company – ViSalus Sciences

The company is actually not new. They’ve been in business for many years, but are just now starting to gain momentum. They launched back in early 2005 with Ryan Blair as the CEO. Ryan appears to be a great leader and has a lot of experience in the network marketing industry.

ViSalus also now has the backing of a billion dollar giant, Blyth Inc. In my opinion this will most likely ensure the longevity of the company, but there is always that fear that the company is now run by share holders, and profits are more important than distributors. That’s just my opinion as a seasoned networker though, but I thought it was worth mentioning. I hope that the company always puts the distributors first.

ViSalus Product – “Body by Vi”

The Body by Vi reviews have been staggering, and the Body by Vi Challenge is certainly fueling the momentum of the company. The ViSalus product is a complete nutritional program that is mostly designed for weight loss and body transformation.

At a glance the Body by Vi looks like just another weight loss shake, but after doing a little research I found that it is actually a complete nutritional program that gives the body all the elements it needs to stay healthy, curb your appetite, and replace some of your unhealthy meals with a shake.

ViSalus Compensation Plan

ViSalus is a network marketing company that uses a unilevel pay plan to compensate its distributors for building a network of people who are buying and using the Body by Vi shakes.

A unilevel plan is basically a plan that pays you on levles. You can have as many as you want to enroll on your first level, and everyone they enroll goes on your second level and so on.

The ViSalus compensation plan includes weekly fast start bonuses, monthly residual bonuses on reoccurring orders, and infinity bonuses once you hit the Ambassador rank.

ViSalus BMW Car Bonus

Other than the Body by Vi product and Challenge, the BMW car bonus seems to be attracting a lot of people to this company. I will admit, driving a brand new black BMW is pretty cool. The qualification for this bonus is $12,500 in monthly volume.

Here’s my only suggestion though. I’m sure some volume stacking takes place in order to help people get their BMW, and that’s ok. But always remember there will be attrition in any business, and it’s your credit on the line.

just be sure you can sustain that minimum volume on your own, otherwise that BMW car payment will be up to you to pay every month.

In Conclusion

I believe ViSalus is a solid company with sound leadership, and a good product. They do appear to be product driven and that is a good thing. My only concern is that I don’t want to see those black BMW’s getting towed away because the average person couldn’t maintain their monthly volume to stay qualified. Again just my thoughts, remember that with any business you get out of it what you put in.

This is an addition to my original XanGo review. I am someone who is passionate about network marketing, and home based business. This industry has truly been amazing for me over the last 9 years.

As I wrote in my original XanGo review, I believe the company and product are both fantastic, and I still do. However, a recent personal experience has led me to write this addition.

Back in 2004 to 2006 I was an active XanGo distributor, and I built a team of over 1200 active reps there. Not a ton compared to what I’ve done since, but still a respectable network that paid me a nice residual income for many years after.

I’m sure many other companies have done this also, but this is my first experience and feel anyone looking at joining and building a XanGo business needs to know this up front before putting in their time and effort.

It seems XanGo is starting to really “control” their distributors to the point they cannot do much of anything outside of XanGo without getting in trouble with the company.

I don’t know about you, but I personally got into this industry for freedom, and  I think most other networkers would agree, we HATE being controlled. If that weren’t the case we’d just stay at our jobs and do everything our boss tells us, right?

Well, over the last year or so I’ve really started to build out this blog to help others make more money and make better decisions on joining certain companies they are interested in.

At first XanGo informed me that my review was making medical claims that were against their policies. Even though I have not been actively building for over 5 years, I was still an active rep earning a check every month from what I built in the past.

I was happy to remove the few lines that were making claims, and I responded to their request so maybe they’d unsespend my distributorship. Nope…

They responded that in order for me to comply with their policies I could not have ANY other company reviews or mentions on my blog. In other words I could NOT tell people anything about any other company if I wanted to be a XanGo distributor. I also could not be a part of any other program that has an affiliate program, even if it was a program like My Lead System Pro that actually helps people build their network marketing business, no matter which one it is.

Here is an exact copy of those policies:

=============================

Section 2 Obligations of a Distributor and Managing a Distributorship

D.  Offerings. A Distributor may not offer or promote any non-Company plans, incentives, opportunities, or non-approved Sales Tools in conjunction with the promotion of Products.

=============================

In other words, if you want to be a XanGo distributor, you cannot promote anything else, while or even after you stop actively building. I know and understand many companies have these policies, but it appears that XanGo is enforcing them very heavily.

Even though NONE of my company reviews are actually “promoting” those companies as a distributor, they don’t care. For example, I wrote reviews on ACN, MonaVie, and other companies which I am not, and never have been a rep for. But that doesn’t matter, in order for me to remain a XanGo rep and keep earning the residual income  I worked hard to build, they want me to remove EVERYTHING that mentions other companies.

Overall I still believe that XanGo is a solid company and a great opportunity for those looking for a nutritional business to build locally doing home meetings or face to face meetings. But for those who wish to build online, leveraging the power of the internet, and using third party training platforms like My Lead System Pro, be very careful what you do and say online, XanGo is watching and policing you.
