Yes - anybody (that is of age, and if Isagenix operates in their country) can certainly sign-up as a Preferred Customer - but I think what's really being asked is can anybody make money (or even get rich) in network marketing as an Associate.

That depends on one’s drive and determination. It takes effort: are you willing to share and prospect others, whether they are people you already know or strangers to whom you reach out face-to-face, or else by marketing on the Internet, for example? Or by other methods such as direct mail? Are you willing to stick with it even when there are challenges, just like with any other business?

Network marketing is easier nowadays compared to yesteryear because in order to qualify for bonuses, product movement can be by self-consumption instead of hustling to sell to customers each and every month (maintain a garage full of products, anyone?), but you’ll still want to reach out and find customers and aspiring business builders who love using the product. Fortunately, Isagenix has a large variety of quality, science-based products to choose from.

No. Although it’s true that the longer you are in Isagenix and sponsor at least two people, the more likely you are to get larger bonuses as your organization grows bigger, this doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily make more than those in your downline. Modern compensation plans reward those who actively build their businesses by sponsoring more and more people into their organizations, and therefore and more significantly, moving product, and then helping those they sponsor build their organizations and moving product, and so on.

For example, let’s say a person sponsors two people (one on the left side and one on the right side, both who stay in the program), but somebody in their downline grasps how the compensation plan works and continues building by sponsoring 10 or more people, and then several of those people sponsor 10 or more people themselves, and so forth. 

The members that actively build their organizations by sponsoring more and more people and moving more and more product will qualify for the bigger and bigger bonuses, therefore surpassing those in their upline that stopped at sponsoring two.

Again, the bottom line is product consumption. We’re not here to sign up people for the sake of signing them up as in a pyramid scheme; we’re looking for customers who actually use the products, while also looking for business and organization builders (who of course consume the products themselves too).

It depends on what you consider expensive. Compared to starting a franchise which can cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, network marketing is a bargain - without the hiring and training of employees (and the red tape that that entails), being highly dependent on and limited by your physical location, plus all of the other challenges of owning a franchise (or any other traditional business for that matter).

The initial investment for becoming an associate in Isagenix is US$649 (as of this writing) for the popular Weight Loss Value Pack. This pack offers a variety of products so that you can get familiar with and start to benefit from them. This is essential so that you will be excited to promote the product line.

Also to maintain your status as an active associate, there is the cost of purchasing your monthly autoship (aka 'Customer Rewards' in Isagenix); for example, I purchase a month's supply of Collagen Elixir and a canister of Greens for my Customer Rewards.

And if you decide that online marketing is the direction for you, there are additional expenses such as getting a domain name, purchasing a WordPress theme and subscription service should you choose to go that route for a website, paying for your Internet connection, etc.

Isagenix was founded in 2002 and currently does business in the following 23 countries:

United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.

Not at all.

Because Isagenix is a consumer products company, the main objective is to move product as opposed to signing up people as in a pyramid scheme or a chain letter. A look at the variety of products and the emphasis on science-based research will show Isagenix's commitment to being the most trusted and respected health and wellness company in the world.

Because my approach is to sell on the Internet, which involves copywriting and site design (which isn't that big a deal with WordPress and modern plug-in programs), and nothing face-to-face or on the phone, it's more doable for shy and introverted people like me. 

Plus, as I mentioned above, network marketing has changed over the years. The first company I got involved in required actual selling to meet a darn near impossible monthly quota to qualify for bonuses, which meant buying products at wholesale and then going out and selling them at retail.

Now with the Internet, it's possible to send people to a website and let them choose and order at their own leisure without being pressured by a salesperson face-to-face. And qualifying for bonuses is simply a matter of purchasing a minimum amount of product for self-consumption each month. 

Only do this if you think it's right for you, but being that this is network marketing, time is of the essence. Or should I say, timing is of the essence because positioning IS important. 

Although I explained above that those higher up in the organization don't necessarily make more money than those below them, if you're committed to building an organization it does help for you to be higher positioned than not. 

Yes, there are two Isagenix logos: the one with a person doubling as the ‘A’ in the word Isagenix is the older logo; the new logo is a hexagon with a six-petaled flower inside of it. Isagenix is upgrading to Isagenix 2.0, spearheaded by Chief Visionary Officer Erik Coover, son of founders Jim and Kathy Coover, hence the new logo.

Isagenix has around two decades of honesty, transparency, and integrity and now wants to continue that with a modern experience enhanced with personalized recommendations for its distributors and customers.

Isagenix 2.0 is focused on 3 core initiatives: product innovation and upgrading its core products; upgrading its marketing, messaging, and branding; and upgrading its user experience through innovative technology. It also includes more responsible and environmentally sensitive product packaging, which is one of the reasons I love this company.

Already introduced to the market have been its best-selling Collagen Elixir; its newly introduced Cellotoi Skin Care line; its Hair Revival product; Adaptagen Elixir; and now Nootropic Elixir, a support for cognitive performance and brain health.
