u naysayers are ridiculous... people who use the products use them because they think they benefit THEM! Just like when you buy products from anywhere... No one forces anyone to do anything!!! if u dont like it, block them on your facebook and simply say no and move one. You are no fiffrent from the religious who need to validate their beliefs by getting others to agree with you!Grow up!

You are right. If people believe in these products and find they are helping them that is great. Good for them. Seriously.
However, I dislike their shady marketing.
I have a few good friends who sell this stuff. We
Just agree never to discuss it. They don't try to recruit me and I don't give them my opinion.
But, yes, if it is your experience that this is a beneficial product then have at it.

Here are some facts
The results are staggering:
■Every minute 12 people visit Visalus.com
■Every minute 6 people "Google" ViSalus
■1 new person "likes" ViSalus on Facebook every minute
■420 people drink a ViSalus shake every minute.
■862,500 people joined ViSalus in the first 6 months of 2012
■Every 40 minutes a new promotor earns a $600 BMW car bonus
■$13 million paid out the last 3 month in bonus checks alone
Is your business growing this fast???

Did someone say Amway is gone? They happen to be a multi billion dollar company today. Someone needs to tell Donald Trump and Warren Buffet that the MLM companies they own are a scam! Really? Warren Buffet owns Pampered Chef for one. I'll take setting my own hours and traveling for free with my scam any day. Yes, my pyramid is travel...and guess what? It's a heck of a lot better than 9-5. I guess vacations are a scam too. I hate to say it, but I'm going to try and say it nicely...people that believe in MLM's and see their value, are open minded people. People who do not believe in MLM's aren't. Guys, people lose money in MLM's when they do not work it hard enough and get into the wrong companies. I love MLM's but, personally, would not be in one that required me to buy stuff every month. It's not a get-rich type of business. You work hard for 4-5 years and then draw residual income for the rest of your life. I love my pyramid!!

i have a "friend" who does nothing but talk about visalis. so i googled it and it brought me to this site. after reading some of these posts, im actually frightened. claiming that these shakes can get people of their medications for diseases such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, lupus,and crohns disease? are you out of your mind? that is a very dangerous claim to make. some might even call that liable. you are not a medical doctor. if visalis helped with any of these diseases, do you not think actual medical doctors would be pushing it. i have type 2 diabetes. i regulate my blood sugar, eat a low carb(80 -110 grams per meal) diet and take gluccophage. my doctor has never told me to drink visalis shakes and i can get off my medication. if this product is so incredible, why is it not available in stores or even gnc? cant answer that can you? and i guess you forgot to tell potential customers or salespeople that if they dont sell 200$ worth of these miracle shakes a month then they have to buy the balance to maintain their level. as for your comparison that all businesses are pyramids, thats laughable. i work for a mechanical contractor. i go to work and put plumbing systems together. at the end of the week, i receive a paycheck for my work. im not asked to recruit more people to sell or maintain a set amount of sales to keep my automobile. the truth is sometimes very hard to accept. i feel sorry for the people inbolved with visalis. i used to like my friend until he started selling this product. now i avoid him like the plague
I'm not a Visalus rep. but know the business inside and out. The BMW is an incentive to train and lead people If you do it then you will get the compensation to pay for your BMW that you must go out and lease or purchase on your own. The company doesn't show up with a BMW at your door and hand you the keys. You must have the credit to purchase or lease the BMW on your own with or without Visalus. If you stop earning the BMW bonus then you are still financially responsible to pay the note regardless.

As a pyramid goes you are actually working for a pyramid. A Pyramid scheme is one were you can never make more money than your boss and he can't make more than his boss and so on. Depending on where you are in the pyramid will dictate your income. Owners are at the top and laborers make less but work more than owners. Some are janitors, then receptionists, then laborers etc. Point is its a legal Pyramid as most businesses operate under this same model. Unlike network marketing where the person that does the most work, sells the most product, trains the most successful people makes most of the money. As it should be. Lots of companies do pay referral bonuses if you refer people to the company who are hired.

People who say this is a scam either a)tried it and didnt do the work and failed or b) are regurgitating something they heard someone say once. It seems unbelievable that you can make a living helping people make money, get healthy and lose weight. But you can! The products are amazing. My husband lost 86 lbs in 100 days. Some individuals using this product have been able to stop using medications simply due to the fact they're adopting a healthier lifestyle. No one is encouraging anyone to discontinue using these medications without consulting their physician. If you have high blood pressure because you are obese and you lose weight, there is a good possibility you may no longer need medication to control your blood pressure. My mom is no longer diabetic because through ViSalus, she lost a significant amount of weight. Use your common sense people.

well Wicked_38, Let's take a look. If you buy Visalus and like it, and then let a friend try it and he likes it and buys it- then you get a commission (money for your pocket)
Now if you go to GNC and buy something you like. then bring in a friend later and he buys it too. umm..neither one of you get anything (cept for cash register receipt) for you pocket. So let's see..which one is a scam?

What happens if someone drops out because it is quite expensive? Do you have to find someone else to buy from you?
actually very few network marketing programs have a decent customer rtention. Its not realisitic to excpect people to use shakes even if they reach their weighloss goal. I sell other products that people can live without but its a more convienent to use and less expensive. This stuff you have to use a product =because you are my friend doesnt work. Incidentially, the hcg diet works allot better then shakes. It works because you learn how to eat and maintain a healthy weight. If you drop off the shakes and eat the way you did before the shakes, chances are you will gain any weight lost back and pronto!

Seems like a lot of people are trying to sell this stuff. They make you want to drive nails in your ears, you just can't get them to change the subject. I have to avoid people that were once good friends, first words out of there mouth is (let me help you change your life), no thanks , my life is fine. If it works so well why are most of them fat or at least very chubby. DUHHH

Duckster, you are an idiot.
Ruben, why would anyone stop using the shake? it is good tasting, good for you, and cheaper than just about any other meal. When I drop my weight to my goal weight, I will drop from doing 2 shakes a day to doing one a day, and it will maintain my health, I am not pushing it upon my friends. I spend about all my time responding you silly nay-sayers.

But as a customer u can still get urs for free by getting 3 people to join u on ur 90 day challenge. Plus u get ur own website, and can enter to win cash and prizes. Also check out YouTube under ViSalus what do I take. That video should what is in the shakes. It really is mind blowing. What u would have to eat to get the nutients that one shake has in it. U also can make the shakes tasted so many different ways.

Some people are good at sales and some are not. If your friends are pressuring you it is because they are needy and not because of the company they are trying to sell. Let's not confuse the 2. That being said the product is like any other tool, if you use it appropriately it can be a great service to you. If you like what it does for you and you are passionate about it then create a strategy to tell other people about it based on your desire to share rather than your desire to make money.
I am impartial either way. Just trying to be rational and not demonize something because I have pushy friends, or don't want to lose weight, or just have a bad taste in my mouth as soon as I hear mlm. Like the rest of the products out there, there is good and bad to everything.
PS all the advertisements, or the loss of a bmw when the money stops rolling in, the recurring payment on your credit card... these are not localized to the mlm market. It is in the rest of the corporate world as well. Why is it bad for one and not the other? It's not personal it's business. I must admit the corporations have a one up on the individual sales people because they have some lizard duck or familiar face and most of their marketing is clever enough to not ask for a sale bluntly, but still suggest you to buy without you ever thinking about the purchase part of your consuming nature.
So your friends are pushing you into it because of their on success?Are they on the products,have the products change their health,have they change someone else's life? If you think that their not your friends.But to me they sound like good friends.Get new ones!Do you know that Visalus (family) main goals is to help others become healthier,more fit,earn cash,drive a BMW and change ones lifestyle.Whats to not like when family helps each other,maybe you've never experience that before or have been wrong by family,what ever it maybe its time to change your mindset start believing.check out the website again and decide.www.jimbohi5.myvi.net

Ummm the reason y they don't sell it in stores is because they can make more of a profit not. They get one person started on it and they go share it on facebook about their weight loss 100 out of the 400 friends they have call them up wanting details and 75 become sellers and everyone shares on fb and that's how the chain reaction goes. Not only that but if you have 2 people under u u get urs for free. Just sayin
Hello opportunity of network marketing is closely related to owning for instance McDonalds only no overhead,employees to pay,major capital investments,no health codes,no product to stock,just send people to your website.Its a home base business with tax write offs.Moneys gain go to earn cash awards,paid trips,BMW for free and an income that lead to job optional status.Oh one more thing each shake cost under 2.00 twice a day and nutritiousness for young children,pregnant women,elderly all types of athletes and mostly the unhealthy person that depends on daily medications.After all that doesn't it sound like your saving money? go to www.jimbohi5.myvi.net for more info.

Daily Horoscope for May 21

Pisces

It's a great day for fixing anything that needs attention now. That might be a dripping tap, a sick child, an unpaid bill or a miffed partner. However, you'll do particularly well if you need to sort out something connected with official or joint finances or red tape. You might be asked to help someone deal with a bureaucratic problem, especially if they're elderly.
