97.15% .... wow
Before I decided to go this route, I looked at the retention rate because a SMART business will have a HIGH retention/reorder rate. Success leaves clues, friends. And I'm dropping all the clues right here. And yes, here I am, 2 years later, I'm at 97.15% So if you are looking for LONGEVITY in a business, I gotta share this with YOU.
Because maybe you were like me and the business you partnered with BURNED YOU. Like bad. Like, "looking at your income and it's been cut in half"-type bad.
I get it. Been there. Done that. And talk about TRUST being burned to the ground.
I went a whole year (2022-23) knowing things were changing and knowing full well I couldn't keep it from my teammates. When "UNCOMMISSIOANABLE ORDERS " were rolled out, I KNEW I couldn't keep telling people they could build HERE.
So I cried. A lot. Then, I started researching. A LOT.
Turns out the exact online store I was already shopping at had a compensation plan like I'd never seen before. I thought it sounded too good to be true.
Then I heard about the RETENTION RATE. Listen, if my customers had shopped like that in my other business... like WOW. Then I realized this MADE THE MOST SENSE.
People need quality AND affordability. And with soooo many online businesses out there, this was the ONLY place that had BOTH. And with almost 500 products!? I thought, "Why would I be an affiliate for 5, 10 , or even 50 products when I could refer to a store with almost 500. Like, duh!?"
Then, there's the re-order rate. That HIGH number that meant my customers were getting healthier, and they LOVED shopping here, and they KEPT shopping here. Just like I was for years.
THIS. MAKES. SENSE.
So before you jump ship into a new shiny "ground level" anything, maybe consider going with something safe. Because yes, LONGEVITY, QUALITY, AFFORDEABILITY, AND RETENTION RATES is what really matters in running a smart business.
If you have any questions, I'm here, friends. Or if you don't want to run a business, I know a great store that saves you money and decreases your toxic load. Bc yes, once a Health Coach, always one.
