The comment '90% of distributors leave' is based on industry averages which range from 9 - 19%. The fact is Reliv has the highest retention rate of any company in the Direct Selling Association at 62%. This is the percentage of distributors who get started and remain in Reliv for over one year.
I think and know that Reliv is a restoring, great supplementary product. What I want to know is, where are you getting your numbers? 90% of all distributors who enter leave? Pff... yeah, and my dog can talk. Want to see? No, but seriously now, where are you getting your numbers? This business is to help people grow their home life, while helping the world. If you can't see that, fine by me.
Thank you so much for advertising and promoting Reliv. It is commonly known that the more objections something receives the better it is.
Reliv changed my life and the lives of my whole family forever. And not on words, but for real. These amazing products brought lives back to my loved ones, after doctors gave up on them ! Did you changed my life by your video ?-NO YOU DID NOT. Honestly, I am sorry for you.
reliv works great but i dont agree w/ the buisness part my mom started in 2009 in the buisness and is enthralled w/ it she is on the computer ALL the time and when she earns money she just spends it on reliv products for shake partys and it gets annoying cuz i am still young and living at home and she is to buisy to even notice that i am there i have 11 other brothers and sisters and they say the same thing but thats just my mom i think that if you yourself can manage not getting enthralled ok
@gococks311 Absolutely right!! Poor Brad Miller is guilty (probably without knowing it) of Argumentum ad populum ("appeal to belief", "appeal to the majority", "appeal to the people"): where a proposition is claimed to be true solely because many people believe it to be true.
I didn't read all the fallacies in the list of logical fallacies, but I'm sure Judgmental language applies to him as well. That's insulting or pejorative language to influence the recipient's judgment.

The latest statistic is a 99.9% fail rate.
If I want a salesman, I would have to pay them a real salary and/or commission. Salesmen don't pay for the privilege of working for real companies unless they've been scammed. It's not a business, you are a salesman.
You can buy a vitamin supplement at a store if you want and not open a "business."
A scam is a scam even if is technically illegal. Reliv is immoral for sure.
@BradMillerDesign Before you start writing about something, it would be wise to know what you're talking about. You clearly do not. First of all, do you even know the definition of 'immoral"? It has to do with conflict with generally or traditionally held moral principles. Don't throw out words without knowing what they mean.
Then you say, "A scam is a scam even if is technically illegal." What??? A scam is a scheme for making money by dishonest means. You really need a proof-reader.
@Damasterjj So what you're saying is everything is a scam. Think about it: Corporate America is set up so all the higher ups make more money than the ones below them. In no way shape or form can you make more than your boss, yet in Reliv or any MLM anyone can make what they want, the problem is everyone likes to sit back and expect money to fall in their lap. If you actually work any business you can succeed. We have and so can anyone that wants to. autism.reliv.com
@Damasterjj Poor Damasterjj--Where's your proof? How are you supporting your conclusion? Begging the Question is a fallacy in which the premises include the claim that the conclusion is true, and you're guilty of begging the question.
This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious because simply assuming that the conclusion is true (directly or indirectly) in the premises does not constitute evidence for that conclusion. Nice try though.
Um we make money 5 ways, not 2. We have made more money with Reliv than any other network marketing business I have ever tried. And every dollar means someone got their health back and/or got financial freedom. Why would I not tell everyone I know? How selfish of me if I didn't!

Reliv products are loaded with sugar, soy and maltodextrin. There are 14g of sugar in a 19g serving of Innergize. You are better off with Living Fuel which is about the same price, and has no fillers.
@benvye--Your statement is a bit misleading. I read four different ingredients labels for Reliv products, and only Innergize has maltodextrin.
It is listed in the trace ingredients at the bottom of the label with other trace ingredients It's far from "loaded" with maltodextrin.
The basic products such as Reliv Classic are sugar-free.
The benefits of soy include promoting heart health and healthy bones, preventing cancer and alleviating menopausal symptoms. Something wrong with that?
@fred0245 Soy is believed to cause breast cancer in women, among a host of other problems. It has a high level of phytates. Regarding Innergize, actually the #1 ingredient is fructose-a cheap corn sweetener. Maltodextrin is a a harmless powder, but when you consider the high cost of the product why have any fillers at all? Anyway there are far better products out there than Reliv, but if people think they get good results I wouldn't talk them out of buying it, it just isn't for me.
@benvye--Once again, you have made a misleading statement. American Institute for Cancer Research stresses that data on soy and breast cancer are not conclusive, and more work is needed to be done before any dietary recommendations can be made.
You make it sound like women will get breast cancer one day after consuming soy. Most health professionals agree that a healthy balanced diet that includes soy is certainly a good idea.
With this being the case, your statements are less than credible.
@fred0245 OK, I didn't personally conduct a study on breast cancer and soy, OK? But, given the options one has today on purchasing either dietary supplements or "superfoods", taking into consideration the high cost of these products, why would one purchase a product that is even suspect of being carcinogenic, when, in fact, it is supposed to be good for you? The only MLM-based nutritional product I have found to be good, throughout the years, is Shaklee.
@fred0245 I'm not selling anything. I mentioned Shaklee because I used it about 20 years ago. My whole point here is that MLM products are generally overpriced junk. I have done a lot of research on nutritional products currently available today and have found some great products, some that are not so good. There is a lot of negative info on Reliv on the Internet. Why would a nutritional product have that? Anyway I wouldn't talk someone out of using it; like I said I am not selling anything.
@johnmr125 Agreed, it appears many people treat this stuff like a religion or something. Anyway, maybe some people feel it helps. I use other products that work well for me.
@englanddan1 So companies involved in direct sales distribute inferior products, huh? I guess Avon, Fuller Brush, Amway, Mary Kay, Tupperware, etc., all sell inferior products. Or do they? Do you even know what the word "scam" means?
@fred0245 Not all of the companies you mentioned are MLM's. Direct sales, yes, but not MLM's. Point is MLM's emphasize sales opportunities over product benefits. And yes I know well what scam means. If you have doubts check the stats on success rates of people who join MLMs.
@englanddan1 YOU said, "All MLM's are scams," and nothing could be more false, so I'm assuming that everything that you say is false. Would that be a fair statement? Of course not. You said MLM companies sell inferior products, and nothing could be more false. So, knowing the definition of the word "scam" may be your only redeeming quality. Otherwise, you have no credibility.
@johnmr125 Well, Johnny, keep getting your supplements at the Dollar Tree store, and ask your survivors to publish your obituary so we can tell you, "I told you so." If not now, then eventually, you will be spending more on doctor care than the average person spends on good nutrition. That's fine if you like ailments and doctors more than general good health and prevention of nasty physical conditions.
If you have something that works, why would you not tell your family and friends. My family was the first people we told about Reliv. It had a major impact on their lives then and continues to do so now. You're a recruiter for your business. That's fine, but you should talk about it not other companies. We earned $2,000 our first 2 weeks in the Reliv business and it has paid us a lot of money over the years whether we work or not. There are not many MLM companies, if any, that provide like Reliv

Reliv International, Is Reliv a Scam? YES, a BIG ONE. Reliv has a high attrition rate and failing in the MLM industry while most others are exponentially growing in this bad economy. Sadly, Reliv relies heavily on new distributors to use old school Hotel-meeting-hype and 'hard-selling' tricks to warm-market lists (family & friends) or turn your back on them if they say "No." In Reliv, its do or die, join the cult or get outta town. You succeed or get black-listed by the Reliv Inner-Circle Elite.

Shaklee may be a fine product. It's been around for a long time. Drink it.
Stop dramatizing and embellishing when it comes to other healthful products.
