Top Tier Direct Sales vs. Multi-Level Sales
LifePath Unlimited

LifePath Unlimited receives our highest rating, scoring well in all areas. Their entry-level personal development product Discovery has outstanding content with a variety of first rate contributors and come with a satisfaction guarantee. LPU is the only company in this niche to offer all-inclusive conference packages (BreakThrough & Destiny) making these the best value in its class. LPU has been in business for over 4 years receiving 4 stars in this category but will hit the 5-year mark this year. LPU sales systems are also best in class with a truly turnkey video sales funnel and automated presentation system. Most importantly the LPU compensation package is clearly the most profitable amongst the competition putting more dollars in the pocket of the associate for equivalent work.
Wealth Masters International

Wealth Masters International receives our highest rating for Longevity being in business for over 5 years. Their entry level product M1 is adequate in the realm of financial literacy and comes with a conditional guarantee, however seems a bit overpriced at nearly $2000 dollars and the conference packages (M2 & M3) are not all-inclusive meaning attendees must pay for accommodations which increases the cost to attend significantly and diminishes value. Associates had in the past a system to market the products but that system now resides with Pro U. We will keep an eye on WMI to see what system they replace it with.
Pro U

*Profit margins on Black Package sales 1-5 = $3999, sales 6-15 = $9998, sales 16 and beyond = $15998
Pro U is a relatively new entry in this category but is founded by an industry veteran that specializes in marketing systems which is their strong point. Having been in business less than 3 years we are taking a wait and see attitude. Their entry-level financial education product has good content but much of that content can be found by simply purchasing the books of the author at Barnes & Noble for a fraction of the cost. The ongoing educational conferences are only 2 days each, non-inclusive and we have a hard time finding adequate value to justify the pricing. Pro U is also last in class with their compensation package, which is favorable to the company but not the associate.
Avant

Avant is another newcomer founded by the former owner of Liberty League International, which recently went under. Their flagship product Elevate, a personal development course, is in our opinion light in content value and they have yet to conduct their Transform and Transcend events which are also non-inclusive so we have a wait and see evaluation in terms of product value. The Avant compensation plan ranks 3rd in class and their sales system is still under development so we will be re-evaluating that area soon.
