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 Spot something out of date?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.

I love the new Abode line for nontoxic house cleaning and I love sharing DIY, Recipes, Diffuser Blends for all the safer options for our home and family. I love the new Foundational Wellness products and the skincare options are great for me in my 50's!

A great way for people to begin to heal naturally with transparent testing procedures. The world is a scary place now with all the fake chemicals and troubling ingredients. More and more people are turning to natural plants to keep themselves healthy. Love the supplements and oils!

The product is amazing, but one thing sticks out doTERRA -- retention! doTERRA's retention is 65% compared to the industry average at only at 10%. I save my customers 25-55% off retail, and help my leaders get theirs FREE and earn $! They choose to order regularly because they actually WANT the products! doTERRA is the most tested and trusted brand of all essential oils. The CPTG label assures every batch is approved. Membership is like Costco or Sam's Club offering discounted pricing, and you order what you want, when you want.

The products are high quality and unique. They are well priced and really fit different problem areas I have in my house. The modular closet system has transformed my closet into something I can actually use AND find my clothes and outfits easily! I love the home organizing workshop format and having the ability to try new products in my home before I buy them!

Unlike most direct sales companies that are geared towards women, this company has great potential for great advancements for male consultants. As of today (05/06/18) we have no male Directors or above. I am looking for some guys who want to make some cash and have fun. Our products are great for every room in your house from the closet to bathroom to office to your garage. You really should check out our new catalog and decide for yourself.
