2. Sell products to your customers and make a profit. 3. Sponsor others who want to enjoy or sell the products, and earn income from AdvoCare. You cannot earn money simply for recruiting or sponsoring another Distributor.
HOW MUCH COULD I EARN IF I SELL ADVOCARE PRODUCTS? As a Distributor, you will receive an immediate product discount of 20% with the ability to qualify up to 40%. The difference between the discounted price you pay and the price you charge customers can result in a 20-40% profit if you charge the suggested retail price. For example, the Distributor discount on Spark® is shown below:
$24.99
DISTRIBUTOR PRICE (20-40% DISCOUNT):
$19.99 - $14.99*
POTENTIAL RETAIL PROFIT:
$5.00 - $10.00
*Before shipping and tax
WHAT IS THE VALUE OF THE DISCOUNT? In 2016, AdvoCare had 570,509 Distributors who qualified for a 20-40% discount and purchased products or earned income from AdvoCare. While 72.29% of Distributors (412 ,408) did not earn income from AdvoCare, they did purchase products and had the opportunity to resell them for a profit. Distributors in this group benefitted from an average product savings of $247.70 (See chart). Distributors who did earn income saved an average of $862.28 on their purchases. The opportunity to earn profit from the resale of these purchases is not included in income reported by AdvoCare.
