AdvoCare sales people -- which AdvoCare likes to call "distributors" -- can work a relatively flexible part-time schedule, as it requires a distributor to work an average of 10 to 15 hours a week. Most sales representatives use the AdvoCare business to earn supplementary income.
The AdvoCare business offers an opportunity for one to make money depending on his willingness and capability to sell. There are three ways to get involved in the AdvoCare business:as a retail customer, a distributor or as an "advisor." Retail customers purchase AdvoCare products for their own personal use. Distributors get a 40 percent discount on their purchases and can earn up to 40 percent profit from their sales. Advisors, on the other hand, take a serious interest in the business venture and make up to $40,000 a year. AdvoCare gives advisors the alternate title of "business builders."
There is no particular way to effectively measure or monitor the efficacy of AdvoCare products. This leads to insufficient information offered to consumers by distributors. Consumers, therefore ,find it difficult to trust AdvoCare products, especially if they are being introduced to them for the first time.
AdvoCare representatives obtain training on how to talk to and convince customers to join the AdvoCare bandwagon. Representatives, however, are untrained in how to gain customers via online marketing, which is an integral part of multi-level marketing. This can limit them to only a short list of customers, mainly family and friends, locking them out of the global market.
