ENROLLMENT INCENTIVES, RECRUITING
Consultants cannot offer any enrollment or recruitment incentive. Enrollment or recruitment incentives are the offers of any kind of benefit to the enrollee or a third party based on a Consultant's enrollment.
This does not include an offer to train or help the Consultant (a duty to train enrollees is outlined in Policy) or to add the Consultant to team pages, team training pages, or regular team events (unless there is a cost normally associated with the training but the enrollee would receive it for free, see below).
Enrollment incentives could include, but are not limited to, any of the following examples:
- Giving money—including but not limited to cash, gift cards, discounts, or coupons
- Offering "insurance" to the enrollee to refund their Starter Kit if the enrollee doesn't like being a Consultant, or if the enrollee doesn't like the Accessories in the Starter Kit, etc.
- Paying for a Starter Kit—can take the form of having other people pay for enrollees' Starter Kits or soliciting people to pay for a new Consultant's Starter Kits. If a Sponsor's spouse or household member pays for the Starter Kit, it is the same as if the Sponsor bought the Starter Kit (see Section 6.12). Kit-earning parties are allowed–see Starter Kit-Earning Parties.
- Any Consultant paying for another Consultant's Starter Kit, even if that paying Consultant is not the Sponsor (see Section 3.2 "taking a vested interest.”)
- Any advertisement of pending team incentives outside of the team page(s)
- Giving additional accessories, including but not limited to offering to exchange the accessories in the new enrollee's starter kit for other accessories, even if those traded accessories come from someone other than the Sponsor or even from former consultants
- Offering to provide free training that would normally cost others money (such as from a second business), such as offering to pay for an online social media course or offering business coaching for free
Offering any kind of benefit to a third party based on a person's enrollment. Examples:
Adding Accessories to a prize "basket" each time someone enrolls and doing a drawing for others to receive that prize – regardless of whether the enrollee is included in those who could potentially receive the prize, giving the enrollee's mother (or someone else other than the enrollee) a necklace; or donating to charity if someone enrolls. It doesn't matter whether the enrollee themself receives the benefit.
- Offering any benefit to the enrollee that is not usually part of enrollment.
A Consultant will be in violation if the Consultant condones, approves, endorses, or promotes an incentive to enroll, even though the incentive may be offered by a third person (someone other than the Sponsor) or if it is offered to a third person (someone other than the enrollee).
A Consultant will be in violation of Policy even if those incentives are only offers and are not ever given to anyone.
5.12 Recruiting or Enrolling Promotions
"At no point may a Consultant advertise or promote an enrolling or recruiting promotion in which the price or value of the enrollment process is discounted. This includes but is not limited to, offering discounted Starter Kits, reimbursements, cash offers for enrollment, extra personal inventory, or anything else that is seen to increase the value or decrease the value of the enrollment process. This activity is often seen as an attempt to create an unfair advantage for other Consultants."
