Bless your heart... maybe your "hubby" can explain it to you over a cab. |

The fact that you think men “support” each other in business shows you readily don’t know what business is. I keep thinking of Romy and Michele, “we’re in business!” No. You’re not. |

Oh, i didn't realize you are the CEO of R and F as well as Beach Body! My bad. Oh, you're not? Then guess what? You are NOT your own boss. Meaning you have quotas to meet, have to do x,y,z because the REAL owner makes money that way. Stop it with this "Girl boss" and "Be your own CEO" BS. You WORK for a company. You just work from home like many of my coworkers do who work for our company. Difference is they aren't all over the internets claiming to OWN the damn business just because they are on their couch in pjs working. |

Even a CEO works for his customers. Everybody work for somebody. But R&F is not an employee, they are independent contractors. Do you even know what that is? |

Rodan and Fields might be woman owned but the are scam artists taking money from some of the most vulnerable people. And, they train everyone in their company to do the same. It’s shameful. |

You are an independent contractor who only sells one line of product. So basically you are an employee to whom they have to provide no benefits. You are crushing it! |

Tax evasion on the part of corporations that don't want to be held to labor laws or pay for benefits? |

My question has always been...why the secrecy over how much people earn? Why oh why? If you're a momboss and going to retire your DH early, why not use the potential salary as a recruiting tool? If I was going to earn enough to really supplement my income, then I'd seriously consider selling...but...they don't tell you because it's all smoke and mirrors...
It turns out that Rodan + Fields, like all other major direct sales companies, publishes its own annual income disclosure statement that breaks down the average earnings (retail profit and sales commissions) for participants in its sales program. Here's what Rodan + Fields self-reported for 2016 (clarifications and caveats below): 60.04 percent of all sales consultants earned $334 on average in 2016 30.37 percent earned an average of $2,304 5.73 percent earned an average of $6,912 Only 1.13 percent of all sales consultants earned more than $25,000 Only 0.28 percent made more than $100,000 On the face of it, those are pretty modest earnings. More than 90 percent of Rodan + Fields sales consultants took home, on average, $2,304 or less (much less in most cases). But when you read the fine print, it's clear that those numbers should actually be even lower. In 2016, the company says it had 286,709 enrolled consultants, but that only 161,361 (56 percent) were "paid consultants" who made a profit from sales to other people during at least one month in 2016. The other 44 percent didn't sell a single product, but only signed up as a consultant to get a discount on products they bought for themselves. The Rodan + Fields earnings numbers above are only for the 161,361 paid consultants. If you included the $0 earnings of the other 44 percent of consultants who never sold anything, those income averages would go way, way down. |

It's everywhere. I'm mostly just sad that these R&F ladies are taking it as a sign that they have control, versus being screwed. |

Those who think they are independent contractors. How cute the company has you thinking that as you are pushing family/friends furhter and further away.
My DH does graphic design and is an idependent cotractor. You know what he doesn't do? Try to sell graphic design to all of our friends and family. He also sets his own price points, marketing techniques/tools and works for a variey of companies needing his specific skillset. What skills do you have selling lotions? |
