If you’re reading this Valentus review, then chances are you’re looking to join the company as a distributor or maybe you’re someone who was approached by a Valentus distributor and doing some research. Regardless of how you found this review, you are in the right place because in this third-party Valentus review, I will cover the essential details you need to know before making an informed decision about the company. Now, before I go any further, I want to disclose that as I write this, I am not a Valentus distributor or affiliated with the company in any way. And to be totally honest, I really don’t care if you join or not, so you can be sure you’ll get a truly unbiased perspective.

First things first, let’s take a look at the company itself. Early on, I couldn’t find much information except that the company was founded by CEO Dave Jordan. Also, when I checked the website, it wasn’t really clear where their head office is located, even though it lists a Nevada address as a place to return the product. That said, that doesn’t necessarily mean the company isn’t legit. It is a start-up company that was recently launched less than a year ago as of this writing. And usually start-up offers don’t have a lot of information posted online. One thing I will say that I like is that the company seems to be very friendly to everyone online and online marketing. If you are going to join a network marketing company, it is always a great benefit to partner with a company that is friendly to both online and offline marketers.

Regarding the products, Valentus offers 4 products that you can promote. The first is coffee for weight loss. Coffee is a huge industry and in my opinion there is no better product to market through network marketing because almost everyone consumes it and there is no need to change people’s buying habits. The coffee contains Garcinia Cambogia, Ginseng Extract, Green Tea Extract and Chromium. All these ingredients help control weight and lose fat. The second product they carry is weight loss tea. The tea contains Garcinia Cambogia, Raspberry Ketones, and Maqui Berry. The third product is a fruit flavored drink that aids in immune support. And finally, they carry a fruit-flavored energy drink that contains guarana seed, maqui berries, and gotu kola. I have not personally tried any of the products, but they seem to be of high quality. I like how they are packaged in single-serving packets, which makes the products easy to transport and hand out to potential customers to try.

Now let’s cover the actual compensation plan. Distributors can earn income in 7 different ways. You can earn immediate income by retailing products and personally enrolling new distributors on your team. While there are a number of ways to sign people up, just assume everyone joins the $499 package for simplicity’s sake. Every time you personally enroll someone, you’ll personally earn a $100 bonus. There is also a coded bonus program that pays a $100 bonus on the production of your legacy team. For big recruiters, there is a lot of money in the Coded Bonus. Just make sure you have a good understanding of how it works if you really want to join the company and start a home business.

When it comes to the residual income portion of the compensation plan, the company has a two binary team structure. As you build your left and right side, the company pays you a $20 cycle bonus as long as there is 200 BV on one side and 100 BV on the other side. Here’s my take on it… On one hand, it’s very attractive because getting a $20 bonus on essentially 300 BV is pretty aggressive. The only thing though is that you need to make sure you understand the binary and how it works. For example, if you have 300 BV on one side and 0 BV on the other, you don’t ride a bike. In other words, you have to be really good at balancing your two legs if you want to make a healthy residual. Now, to be clear, I’m not saying this is a good or bad thing. You can certainly make a serious income regardless, as long as you understand the compensation plan and how to structure your pool. It is also important to note that the company pays matching bonuses of 2% to 25% on up to 7 generations, which is quite generous.

So should you join Valentus or not? Well… only you can answer that. In my opinion, the advantages of the company are that they market easy-to-share products like coffee and tea, and the company is very friendly to online merchants. The disadvantages are that it is a very risky start-up company and there is not enough information about the actual company and its infrastructure. With that being said, these are just opinions and what I may consider as a pro, could be a scam to you. One thing is for sure: if you decide to partner with Valentus, you will need leads. Having a continuous and consistent stream of leads is critical to your success. Because? Because it doesn’t matter that Valentus has great products and a lucrative compensation plan if you don’t have anyone to talk to about the deal. Your ultimate success will depend on your ability to personally sign up new people and get clients, and those two things depend on how many leads you get. Sure, you can talk to your friends and family (and you should), but when your warm market dries up, it’s important that you know how to take advantage of inbound marketing so you can get leads online and build your business even if your market warm dries up above. If you can put inbound marketing to work for you, there’s no telling how prosperous your business can be.
