I just came across some disturbing news. I just saw that one of the most success MLM companies in the Network Marketing Industry is closing the doors when it comes to Network Marketing. In Network Marketing we allocate a lot of money and time toward building our business. So for a company to shut down like Advocare, there are going to be a lot of people hurting. I wish them a lot of luck.
AdvoCare recently announced that it was doing away with its network marketing business model and instead shifting to a “direct to consumer” model. AdvoCare cites “confidential talks” with the FTC, saying that the FTC has taken issue with “how AdvoCare compensates its Distributors.”
Instead of taking their chances with litigation against the FTC, the owners have decided to completely bail out, going for the more certain outcome where they get to keep their profits instead of losing them to the government.
AdvoCare International announces a revision of its business model from multi-level marketing to a direct-to-consumer and single-level marketing compensation plan.
AdvoCare has been in confidential talks with the Federal Trade Commission about the AdvoCare business model and how AdvoCare compensates its Distributors. The planned change will impact Distributors who have participated in the multi-level aspect of the business. Those who currently sell only to customers will not be impacted and there will be no impact on Preferred Customers or retail customers’ ability to purchase products.
