Real It Works! Global Company Review

It Works! Global is a multi-level marketing company founded by Cindy and Mark Pentecost back in 2001.

There are now thousands of ‘independent distributors’ around the globe who promote their products to friends, and other contacts, via social media and other direct marketing methods.

This MLM business model is obviously very profitable as the company reportedly made $538 million in revenue in 2014. They also have huge headquarters in Palmetto, Florida with thousands of employees.

Earnings for It Works! Global in more recent years are difficult to come across. They remain one of the top multi level marketing companies in America though, according to industry publications.

It Works! Product Range

This massive business has dozens of products, such as It Works Greens, Keto Works supplements, Advanced Formula Fat Fighter, cosmetics, probiotics, multivitamins, and their signature It Works Body Wraps.

This controversial offering is comprised of 3 products – the Ultimate Body Applicator, Fab Wrap and Defining Gel. The directions are to apply the Ultimate Body Applicator to different parts of your body and then wrap the area with the Fab Wrap for 45 minutes.

Users are advised to do this repeatedly, and use the Defining Gel, to encourage weight loss. However doctors have stated online that, while the process may induce temporary skin tightening and water loss, it is unlikely to work for long-term body fat reduction.

There are no convincing studies presented by It Works that their body wraps are effective. Though research has shown that body wraps in general can cause some temporary water loss and may give the initial appearance of body slimming.

Is It Works! Global a Pyramid Scheme?

One larger concern about the business is whether its ‘independent marketers’ also known as ‘Wrapreneurs’ are actually making much money themselves, or just increasing the company’s profits.

There is a $99 start up fee to join It Works as a distributor and independent research I’ve seen generally concludes that most people earn little from their involvement with it.

Even the company’s own 2016 Income Disclosure Statement seems to show little financial benefit for the vast majority of Wrapreneurs.

From my interpretation of this statement, 78.73% of active distributors made on average $51 a month before expenses. Not exactly enough to quit your job over. Though the top 1% ‘upline’ do seem to be doing very well.

Additionally, some business analysis I’ve read suggested that this MLM company largely profits from its distributors as the major source of its revenue rather than customer retail sales. In fact, many commentators outright say that they think It Works is a scam.

Perhaps if you have a large network of contacts interested in health products you could make money as an independent distributor for It Works.

There are similar products though, on Amazon and other online retailers, for much less. Personally, I find it hard to see why people would pay so much more for It Works! products.
