How to read this comparison

  • Starter kit is the up-front purchase to begin selling. Some companies also charge an annual renewal or a website fee; check the company page.
  • Personal commission is your cut of your own retail sales. Downline commission is what you earn on sales by people you recruit; a plan with no downline pay is single-level, one with overrides is multi-level.
  • Sales to earn the kit back divides the minimum kit by the minimum commission. It is the retail volume you must sell before the kit has paid for itself, before any other costs.
  • Most multi-level plans publish an income disclosure statement. Ask for it, and read it, before you sign. Typical participants earn far less than the top ranks.
  • Figures are company-reported and can change. Spot something out of date? Tell us.

The wines are overpriced and over-hyped. They are sourced from well-known domestic/import wineries and passed off as having a standard of higher quality than what the original winery produces. Reps from S&C can TELL you that they are of higher quality, but anyone can do a little digging and easily be able to determine what large wineries they are sourcing from and decide if you want to spend 3x the price for a S&C wine just because it's "Double Lab Tested" <-- means nothing, the other wineries are using the same fruit. Also, there's NO SUCH THING as a "Level 3 Sommelier." Yikes! :/...

I love the products from Arbonne! I use the protein daily after my workout (chocolate with frozen cherries added is my FAVE) and have also fallen in love with their RE9 skincare regimen. Makes my skin so soft and smooth. Can't wait to try the new vegan collagen-booster they just came out with!

Really was skeptical about this at first, but the results speak for themselves! I highly recommend these products.

Featured in Forbes, allure, People , BEAUTYINC, VOGUE, NBC News and more. Rodan and fields offers a 60-day Satisfaction Guarantee, you have nothing to lose...besides the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Rodan + Fields was the top-selling skin-care brand in the U.S. last year, in my opinion it's one of the best skin care products on the market! I just ordered a new regimen for myself, "REVERSE Brightening". I can't wait to get started.

The selection of wines is wonderfully diverse and are hand picked by a level 3 sommelier. They are also independently lab tested to ensure they adhere to the Scout & Cellar strict standards of: ZERO added chemicals, ZERO synthetic pesticides used in growing of the grapes, ZERO GRAMS OF ADDED SUGAR (you would be surprised how much sugar is added in commercial wines) and low sulfites. You'll want to try these wines and become hooked on drinking clean crafted! It makes a world of difference in how you feel.

This business has provided coaching, support, guidance and incentives! I absolutely love the products and so do all my customers. There is a 60 day money back guarantee on the business kits and products. I love being able to help others find the right products for their skin. Our solution tool helps you find a regimen and will offer other products based on your areas of concern. This is the first time since my early teens that I don’t have to wear foundation!! I am amazed at what the products have done for me and my customers.
