Nu Skin™ Enterprises has come a long way from the days the founders demonstrated skin care products in their living rooms. Today, the company offers an impressive portfolio of more than 200 products in three distinct categories: personal-care products under the Nu Skin™® brand, technology-based products and services under the Big Planet™® brand and science-based nutritional products under the Pharmanex™® brand.

From Nu Skin™’s 180® Anti-Aging Skin Therapy System and its popular Galvanic Spa System that offers users a home spa experience to Pharmanex™’s lifepak nano™, a comprehensive anti-aging multivitamin, and g3®, its phytonutrient-charged nutritional drink, Nu Skin™ Enterprises distributors offer their customers innovative products that make a measurable difference. But Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Joe Chang says the company isn’t content to simply tell people about the difference; it has developed two remarkable tools that allow distributors to demonstrate what its products do. "We have science-based substantiation of the claims we make for the products," he says.

In 2003, Nu Skin™ Enterprises introduced the Pharmanex™® BioPhotonic Scanner, a cutting-edge testing tool that safely (and non-invasively) measures carotenoid levels, an indicator of the body’s overall antioxidant status. With this industry-first tool, Nu Skin™ Enterprises distributors can prove to customers the benefits of taking Pharmanex™ supplements. "Finally, in the supplement world we can show somebody what it means when you take a good supplement," says Dr. Chang.

Since Pharmanex™ introduced the scanner, Nu Skin™ distributors have scanned more than 5 million people and it has earned Pharmanex™ several prestigious awards, including a 2005 American Business Award (the Oscar® of the business world) for most innovative company. And at its global convention, Nu Skin™ introduced the Everest Edition, an upgrade to the scanner that will simplify the scanning process by reducing setup time and eliminating a calibration step to make it easier for distributors to administer the test. The upgraded scanner got its name when Pharmanex™ collaborated with university researchers studying the effects of free radicals during mountain climbing at high altitudes. Pharmanex™ scientists developed a self-calibrating technology that would withstand such harsh environments — and are now making that technology available to their distributors.

The Company markets its products through a network of independent distributors. For purposes of this summary, an "Active Distributor" is a distributor who placed an order for products, promotional materials or services or renewed their distributorship during the most recent three-month period. In the United States, the Company had an average of 52,887 Active Distributors during 2006.

Compensation
There are two fundamental ways in which a distributor can earn compensation:
* Through retail markups on sales of products purchased at wholesale prices; and
* Through retail markups on sales of products purchased at wholesale prices;

As with any other sales opportunity, the compensation earned by distributors varies significantly. The cost to become a distributor is very low. People become distributors for various reasons. Many people become distributors simply to enjoy the Company’s products at wholesale prices. Some join the business to improve their skills or to experience the management of their own business. Others become distributors, but for various reasons, never purchase products from the Company. Consequently, many distributors never qualify to receive commissions.

Generating meaningful compensation as a distributor requires considerable time, effort, and commitment. This is not a get rich quickly program. There are no guarantees of financial success.

Retail Markups
Distributors can buy Nu Skin™, Pharmanex™ and Big Planet™ products from the Company at wholesale prices for resale to customers or for personal consumption. Some Big Planet™ products are services, such as Internet access, on which there is no retail mark-up earned by distributors. In addition, some Big Planet™ products are lower margin products offered through Internet mall affiliates. Consequently, lower levels of commissions are paid on the sale of such products. The Company’s suggested retail markup is 30% on most of its personal care and nutrition products. However, distributors are free to set their own selling price and may personally consume some of the products they purchase. As a result, the Company currently neither provides an estimate of average income from retail sales nor includes distributor retail income in its average commission information.

Commissions
Distributors can also earn commissions based on the sale of products by a distributor and his/her downline of sponsored distributors in all markets where the Company does business. The Company also sells promotional materials that do not generate commissions to distributors.

There are two primary problems suffered by the average network marketer:

* Lack of quality MLM Leads (prospects).

So, most likely you are on a search for "MLM Leads For Nu Skin Enterprises", but I am here to tell you that …

… Buying MLM Leads Is A Fools Game …

Because Even If You Could Become Successful At Closing MLM Leads For Nu Skin™ Enterprises, It Is NOT An Easy Skill To Teach Your Team.

The good news is … you don’t have to buy MLM Leads For Nu Skin™ Enterprises and cold call to succeed in MLM. I guarantee there is a better way.

IF YOU ARE NEW TO BUYING LEADS, HEADS UP!

You will need to call hundreds of leads to find one who is remotely interested. You need to have excellent telemarketing skills. You will need to take the abuse and rejection that you will receive from 90% of the people you call. You may be very good at telemarketing and rejection doesn’t bother you. Personally, I do not know many people who can say this, and even if you are good at clsoing leads, the majority of people are not, meaning your business will be difficult, at best, to grow in this way.

What about your downline? Realize that your entire downline is not customers but distributors just like you. Are they all going to buy leads and do this too? Nope.

I don’t buy leads. I buy customers. They cost each. Half of what the results of buying leads conversion cost without all the time spent. I don’t have to make any calls. I don’t get rejected. I do not have good telemarketing skills. I don’t need them.

And when I buy customers, they appear in my downline with out any effort on my part. And the 10% of my downline that are distributors do the same thing. Man-O-man we are happy buying customers not leads!
