So, you have looked at Forever Living, and you like the products, and you think that you could work with the person telling you all about them (hopefully me!), and you are interested in starting your own business. Your next question is always, “how much does it cost?”
This is quite often a stumbling block for prospective new team members, as they may be looking at the business because they need more money, and can’t find the funds in order to join the company in the first place. It’s a Catch-22 situation. So how can you get over this barrier? You know the phrase ‘you have to speculate to accumulate’, or ‘you can’t make money without spending money’. How many new businesses can you start with no investment at all? I know of very few.
Business Owner Box
No Joining Fee
Firstly, there is no joining fee to join Forever Living, but you can purchase a Business Owner Box (Formerly the New Distributors Pack (NDP)) for just under £200 in the UK, which gets you straight onto the 2nd level of our marketing plan. In this box, you get a selection of our best-selling products, many of which can replace products which you would normally be buying in your monthly shop anyway: products like toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, soap and moisturisers. So when you are thinking of buying a box, think of the money that you will then not be spending buying your usual products. Also in the box are our best-selling Aloe drinking Gels and a whole heap of literature to really help you to get your business running. The value of the products and literature is much more than the amount that you pay for them.
Me and my Aloe
We recommend that you try everything in the pack, as you need to use the products to be able to confidently recommend them, but if money is an issue, you can sell these products in order to recoup your money, then as you start to earn from your Forever business, you can treat yourself to one new product with each new order that you place, thus spreading the cost of your own products. We suggest that you start your business with a fanfare, and your sponsor will support you in hosting a business launch to which you can invite friends and family. Many new business owners earn enough commission from having 2 or 3 launches to more than cover the cost of their business owner box.
Joining without the Business Owner Box
If you really can’t find the funds for your box, there is another way. You can join the company purely by placing an order for products for over £100 (just one Clean 9 for example). You don’t get as much commission when you join in this way, but it means that if you have a launch party and get orders from friends and family, you can join without spending any money yourself at all. We would then suggest that you set aside your profits from these parties in order to buy your box as soon as you can. Every distributor who joins Forever Living is entitled to buy a business owner box even if it takes them a while to be able to afford it. You can also earn yourself the higher commission levels just by hitting a certain volume of sales.
If you are really struggling for money then take a look at my post 20 Ways to Raise the money to join Forever Living for some ideas on how to raise the cash.
What Next ?
So, if you really want to join Forever Living, but the cost of the box is stopping you, then give me a call and we can put a plan in place to enable you to get over this hurdle and really get moving with your new and exciting business.
And once you’ve joined – then read my post on “How Much Can You Expect to Earn with Forever Living”.
If you are in Ireland then check out my post “How Much Does is Cost to Join Forever Living in Ireland” , for South Africa and surrounding countries then look at Joining Forever Living in South Africa , or if you are in another country then get in touch and I can send you the details about joining in your area.
You can’t change your life if you don’t change your thinking.

Reblogged this on musingsofacoeliaclibrarian and commented:
When talking to people about the opportunity of joining the Forever Living business we are often asked about the cost. This post by my sister is an excellent reprise of why the New Distributor Pack (or business in a box) is such good value.
I think the more significant question is what is the cost of not buying it – to your potential to achieve your goals in the future and to make a positive change to your life. I used to own a pet shop with my husband and it cost considerably more than £200 to start off the business and we never did really break even.
Get in touch with me if you want to talk about the potential that investing this £200 could have on your future.

Good Luck with your business Kate. I know lots of young parents who have built up wonderful businesses around their family.

Hello,
If you sign up to the business box and decided 2 weeks in that the business isn’t for you, can you get your £200 back? (Like you do for products – 60 day money back). Or do you loose that money?
As Forever Living are a member of the Direct Selling Organisation in the UK we abide by their rules, all contained in the full terms and conditions you should read before signing up. The relevant part is here “If I cancel, or the Company terminates, my appointment within its first 14 days I may cancel any unfulfilled orders with the Company without charge and receive a full refund of anything I have paid in connection with my participation in these selling arrangements.” Please message me if you would like a full copy of the terms and conditions. So if you return the box and all products with a letter of resignation within the first 14 days you can get your money back.
Hello,
What if it it out of 14 days?
Please could you send me the term a.d conditions.
Thank uou
We abide by the rules set by the direct selling association which includes the right to cancel within 14 days of signing up. I’ll email the terms to you directly later today.
Hi, I love your blog. It has been a good source for me to find out more about the business. I’m looking to join with one of my friends though admittedly nervous about the recruiting aspect.
i want to join from Mauritius but no money , any other option
You can probably join with an order for products as you can in most countries. You can’t really expect to start a new buy without some kind of investment though. I’d advise starting saving a little money each week until you can afford the box is always the best way to start.
Hi my name is Judith l want to join forever living through my mother in law she is in Zimbabwe and lm in the Uk she is a distributor so how can l join thanks.
Your Mum needs to talk to her Zimbabwe head office to get her account switched on for sponsoring in UK. Then you can fill out a UK application form with her details as your sponsor and buy the business owner box.
Justina, I will send you an email with more information now. Thanks for your enquiry.
Hey im andy ,I’m not working I would like to join dis crew,I,m in eastern Cape in qumbu
Hi Andy, I’ll send you some information via email. Can you use the Contact Me link at the top of the page to send your details.
Hiyaaaa I am 18 and I would really like to join but I wouldn’t be able to pull £200 from thin air
Sinead. It is great that you would like to start your own Forever Living business. The best way to start would be to save for the £200 for the business owner box and use this time to do your research and learn more about the company and the products. If you message me via the contact me link at the top of the page I can send information for you to learn more and share. We have business presentations all over the UK so I can point you to your nearest one. If you live near one of our team you could join through having a launch party and placing an order so do let me know where you are based.

Not a company one, but I can ask if there is a business owner led one. Do you have someone who has shown you the business or are you looking for a sponsor?
How can I become member or start in forever in Gurgaon , India. Can I start it even if Iam employed or in that case will need to join with my wife as primary. Are there any promoters or members in my area
Yes you can join Forever if you have a 2nd job, most people do Forever with something else when they first start. I’ll email you the details on joining in India.
you say there is no joining fee but to join you have to pay .. I don’t get it lol can I have more info please on how to join x
There’s no joining fee but there is a minimum first order. You can’t expect to recommend products if you have never tried them! Please use Contact Me at the top of the page to get in touch for more details.
Hiya – I am considering joining Forever Living Products and have been approached by a few people regarding it. Your blog has been wonderful in helping me understand how it all works and really think through if I would be able to do it. My biggest fear is not the recruiting but the selling – I really wouldn’t feel comfortable offering the products to my friends all the time as I wouldn’t like it if someone did that to me….. Are there lots of other ways that I would be able to sell the products?!? Are you given lots of suggestions of how to sell them without involving your friends all the time?! Many thanks, Sophie
Sophie, this is the sort of advice I’d be able to help with if you chose me as your mentor and wanted to join my team – you may start out sharing the products with friends and family, just because they are wonderful products and if you use them yourself people naturally want to try what you are using. It’s not selling it’s recommending, but we have lots of ways to help you with retailing the products too and will support you every step of the way. Message me via the Contact Me at the top of the page if you would like to learn more about joining my team. Look at my post on trailing https://siliconbullet.wordpress.com/2015/07/28/retailing-with-forever-living/ . I personally built up a customer base by doing local events – see my tips here https://siliconbullet.wordpress.com/2013/03/26/6-top-tips-for-runing-a-stall-at-a-fete/ .
