International Business

Reliv International is a network marketing company that specializes in health and nutritional supplements. The company was started back in 1988 by Robert and Sandy Montgomery. The company today is in 14 different countries across the world and continues to grow at a rapid rate.

The company's number one goal is to nourish the world. As mentioned before, Reliv is a health and nutritional supplement company. They focus on three main areas pertaining to health; the three areas are nutrition, weight loss, and solutions to health problems.

The company's main products are called: Reliv Classic and Now, which are part of their nutrition focus; Simplicity, which is a health plan for losing weight; and they also carry products for blood sugar management, digestive health, energy, women's health, joint, heart, and anti aging products.

As I mentioned at the beginning, Reliv is a network marketing company which means they follow the MLM business structure. Instead of selling their products in stores, they use distributors to go out and sell their products. To become a distributor you must apply which will cost around $40; once you become a distributor you'll continue paying a monthly fee that is similar to the application fee.

As a distributor your main goal is not necessarily to sell but to recruit. Not only do you receive a commission from all of your personal sales but you also receive a commission from everyone you've recruited into the company. The percentage that you make from each person depends on what level you've reached within the company which is based on the size of your down line. It ranges from 8% - 2%.

The earning potential within Reliv is similar to most multi level marketing companies. Your success will be determined on your ability to recruit friends and family. You need to know that success won't happen overnight, but over time with a lot of hard work you can achieve the level of success that you're looking for.

If you feel comfortable recruiting your friends and family or trying to get them to buy your products then this company should be a great fit for. If you don't feel comfortable talking with people and persuading them to get involved with the company then you might want to continue searching for a different home based business.
