Advantages: free to join

Disadvantages: hard to get orders, set areas, books kept changing, many many more

I joined betterware many moons ago, and i have to say it was fatally flawed as a business. I gave the business my full attention for 5 months, but i made hardly any money from from it im afraid.

You dont pay anything to join, you have an informal interview with the main manager of the area. They seemed nice, but a little desperate to be honest. Anyhow the books were free, and it was free to join, so i thought i'd give it a try.

Betterware work on areas, and this is why it is so difficult to earn any money. I was given an area, and it was impossible to get any orders, i was given a few more areas, but still noone seemed to be buying. The catalogue is ok, but they give you no bags, so the book gets tatty with quickly, the orders can easily blow away and as they are free i found myself not always going back on the 3rd occassion to collect them.

The books are changed every month, and i was chucking out books left right and centre, it seemed ridiciulous and a waste of money and paper.

You could only order your items once a week, and with out of stocks, it was a pain in the neck. I was making about 20pounds a week! It was pathetic.

I eventually left, only to be asked did i want to become the regional manager! I didnt accept! I cant recommend this company, im a hardworker, but this business does itself no favours.

Summary: a business that i found had fatal flaws
