Promises of a great income that ended up being great debt

Like other people who have complaints about Herbalife and their tactics, I was also lead to believe that I could work at home and have more time for my child while making a great income (even becoming wealthy!) just by following their various methods. They wanted me to sell the products, but mostly, recruit other people to be in my downline. I was also told by my upline that I needed to be a supervisor in order to make any money. Of course this involved putting in a large order of products, most of which nobody wanted to buy, so that I could get an inventory at the lowest cost to me. Funny how that backfired! It's not easy to make money when you're not advised properly on what sells!

Recruiting people was a huge investment in time and money (for advertising) that lead to a downline from which no income, let alone "wealth" was generated. And of course, the time investment left me no extra time to be with my child; he still had to go to daycare. At meeting after meeting, where we invited our potential recruits to come and learn about the opportunity, my upline touted their income and health/weight loss stories.Us downline were "taught" how to tell our canned stories, as they did, in order to "wow" our potential recruits into joining out team.

Overall, I spent a lot of time (that I'll never get back) and money that I'd love to get back if there were a class action suit I could join. The tactic of not telling recruits who the company is until they are at a meeting is a form of deception. At the time I was sold on the weight loss benefits and thought that my weight loss would influence others. Unfortunately, unless you stay on the products (which are quite expensive, even for a supervisor level distributor), the weight is very hard to keep off. The whole experience is one that I wish I could live down with my friends and family, but that may take more time.
