USANA publishes an average earnings chart for distributors to use for recruiting purposes. You can read the report here.
Here's what The Fraud Files Blog has to say: "The Average Earnings Chart is a very misleading illustration that
was developed in collaboration with a group of USANA’s distributors
that have made millions of dollars recruiting new distributors into the
opportunity. This special group of distributors are privy to insider
company information that shareholders and other fellow distributors do
not have access to. This in itself may be a SEC violation.
The Average Earnings Chart for 2008 misleads prospective
entrepreneurs by only displaying Average Earnings calculated from the
top 5% of those who received a commission check for the year. This is
extremely misleading because roughly 94% of distributors that are
represented in the chart are either Sharers or Believers (Bottom of the
totem pole). However, the chart’s Average Weekly Earnings for Sharers
and Believers represents only about 5% of them. Why is that? Because
only about 5% of Sharers and Believers made at least 16 commission
checks throughout the year. This is a significant number of
distributors left out of the average earnings calculation!"
Check out the whole article and let us know what you think. It seems a bit fishy.
