HERBALIFE - NOT THE WAY OF LIFE FOR ME!!!

It’s funny. It’s never a problem until it affects you, and when it does, it’s suddenly the biggest problem in the world. It is these sorts of things that my Herbalife experience has taught me. Being down here at the bottom of the world - New Zealand, I never saw this coming. However it is this one company that has now wasted a lot of my time and money – and I’m not the only one that has been affected. It has affected hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.

It seemed simple enough. I called up a person, whose “work at home” ad I had seen in the local paper. There were many of these “work at home” ads – little did I know that they were all from the same company – Herbalife. When I called I was greeted with an answering machine, and so I left my contact details. The next day I got a phone call from a “Herbalife Distributor.” However, he didn’t introduce himself as that, in fact he didn’t even mention the word Herbalife for a long time. He was with the “Work at Home Business Centre”, and was here to “help me make a lot of money.”

Well, I fell for it, it was convincing. Little did I know that the same speech he had used on me, he was using up to 10 times a day on many other people from around the world. But most of us have heard of this “work from home” scam, they know that it doesn’t work, because if it did, why wouldn’t everybody be taking advantage of it? I hadn’t heard of it before, and it sounded great, so that weekend I went along and met my “sponsor.” $220 later, I had registered with the company, had an 'International Business Pack' and some “weight loss” products, which my sponsor had sold me. He told me I needed to lose some weight, well I didn’t, but he convinced me that I needed to start taking this stuff.

I had spent $220 and off I went, deciding that my best approach would be to start small and build my business up – "Herbalife has a money back guarantee", my sponsor told me, "so I’ve got 3 months to get started, and if it still doesn’t work, I will take it all back, and get my money back”, was my strategy.

Back home I was ecstatic - I was going to be rich, and make my $5000 a month, within the next week or so. I tried to watch the videos that came with the pack, but they were meaningless. There was no way in hell I was going to wear a badge that said “lose weight now, ask me how”, and they were expecting me to sell this stuff to my friends and complete strangers. I couldn’t take the products myself, so how would I ever be able to sell it to other people!

Now don’t get me wrong here, so far its sounded like I haven’t put in any effort. But I did, I eventually wore the badge, and tried my hardest to sell this stuff to my friends, but they wouldn’t buy it, especially at the price that I was trying to get for it. “$65 for a weight loss shake, I can get it for $15 down at the supermarket, that’s a rip off” was the sort of response I got.
