Common Questions about Opening Your Store

How much commission will I earn on each sale?

You will earn:

Commission	Monthly
Rate	Net Product Sales
25%	$500 or less
30%	$501 - $1499
33%	$1500-$4,999

Is this Multi-level marketing (MLM) or network marketing?

No. You are a store owner, a licensee of our content and research library and an authorized distributor of our proprietary products. All commissions stay with you since you have done the work and own the store.

How can I customize my store?

You will be able to upload your photo and logo and have use of your own store name and URL. There is also a Blog for you to post messages and link to your other web sites (if desired). You can select the items within the MyNutritionStore.com line that will be featured in your store.

How soon after I set up my store can I begin selling products?

As soon as you complete the registration process and submit your information, you can begin to promote your store and sell all the products.

How much do I earn for getting a friend or associate to open their own store?

You will earn $150 referral fee for each referral who opens a store.

How does MyNutritionStore.com help me build my client base?

Prices on your site are discounted 10% off the prices on the home site. We also provide a "Find Wellness Pro" search tool for new consumers coming to the site to locate wellness professionals near them. If you're a wellness professional, you can enter this data base and get referrals under the "Open Your Store" tab on the home page.

Can I review my sales and earnings in real time?

Yes. Simply log into your account and you can have up-to-the-minute details about all your store activities.

Do I have to personally keep any products on hand?

All products are shipped direct to your customer. You do not have to keep any products in your possession. If you feel it could help facilitate a sale while you are consulting a client, you may choose to have items available that you recommend.

How can I endorse a product that I haven't used?

You can get all the information you need under the "Products" tab in the website. Each page details the product benefits, the competitive advantages versus other products, the key ingredients and overall nutrition information. There's also a link to the library where you can read clinical reports about the effectiveness of the key ingredients.

Do I have to sell every product offered?

You can be assured that every product in this line is safe and effective based on the claims that are written on the website and on the label. This is a high quality professional line packed with ingredients supported by clinical test results. They're made to meet the latest proposed GMP standards for dietary supplements in facilities that are certified to meet FDA drug standards. In the end, you have to have confidence in what you're offering. You should sell the items that you know will offer real health benefits. At the same time, you'll be selling yourself and your customers short if you don't take the time to read through every product page and make sure that you understand the incredible scientific support behind every product in the line.

Can I only offer certain products?

No. Each store owner will carry the same products at the same price.

Do I have to incorporate to open my store?

NO. Incorporation is not needed.

What if I don't have a web site?

With your unique URL, you now have a website where you can promote the other services you offer!

Can I sell any other products outside of my MNS store?

We do not require any exclusivity. You have the option to sell other products if you wish. Compare with commission rates of each. We're sure that you'll find MNS offers much higher commissions and a more seamless payment method than other nutritional supplement companies. Our business is totally turnkey, with no inventory to buy, no product to store or handle and no receivables to manage.

How can I sell nutritional supplements if I'm not a doctor or dietitian?

People of all walks of life have extensive experience using nutraceuticals, vitamins, herbs and nutritional supplements. It makes sense that these knowledgeable people with real life experience in what actually works should be able to spread the health and wellness message; and make money doing it. Think about it this way, do you usually know a lot more than the non-qualified person behind the counter at a traditional brick-and-mortar nutrition store? Health and wellness professionals who recommend certain supplements all the time in their counseling and training can now be compensated for all the great nutrition advice they've been giving away for free!

How do I promote my store?

We have created several methods for you to actively promote your store, as well. It will be done through your personal MNS blog, business cards, your web site (if applicable), your email signature, and email campaigns. We've also created MNS PowerPoints and PDFs for your promotional and educational needs. You will also find many helpful promotional hints in the store owner's section of this site.

Do I receive a discount on products I order from my own store?

Yes. The discount will range from 25% - 35% based on the total volume of sales you've generated for the month.

What keeps my customer from going to another store or the "corporate/main store"?

When your customer logs in, they are automatically re-directed to your store, even if they didn't get the URL right when they first came to the site. In the end, what creates a sale is the trust relationship that you maintain with your clients. Since you already have a relationship with the customer, they'll want to support you and your store. There's no incentive for them to seek out another random store owner with whom they don't have any relationship. And, they won't purchase products from the "corporate/main store" because your store prices are discounted 10%. This is another built-in incentive for the customer to stay with you.

Will I continue to get commissions if I am no longer actively selling the product?

Yes. Your commissions continue for each month in which your store has at least one sale and as long as you continue to pay the monthly licensing and hosting fee. If your sales fall to only 3 or 4 pieces a month (including the ones that you use personally), then you'll be earning more than the monthly fee required to maintain your store.

Am I an employee or a contractor of MNS?

N0. You are a licensee of our content and research library and an authorized distributor of our proprietary products.
