wombat also to add I was with Forever. I followed the plans and lost just over £1000 trying to make it work.
To be paid on your team (people you recruit) you have to do a minimum of 4cc's (stands for case credits - the value of each product) per month. 1cc of retail must go through your ID and then you can recruit, 1 recruit equals 2cc, so they plan your business of recruiting 2 people per month (4cc) and retail 1cc.
But if you don't recruit one month then where do you find the 4cc's if you don't have a lot of customers? 1cc equals £160 wholesale
Plus then theres signing up to the company and group websites, attending success days, local trainings, buying all the mindset books, business cards, travel, doing fairs etc etc.
Oh and don't forget when it doesn't work, it's your fault as you didn't work hard enough, contact enough people or sell enough, which 99% of people who join end up realising :(
