[quote=Anonymous]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.[/quote]
