To Be Concluded
ASEA Global’s compensation plan is complicated to understand and especially pool income can’t be determined, as they depend on the company’s total turnover.
While some people are stuck on a serious question, is ASEA Global a Scam?
Is ASEA Global a Scam?
The straight answer is no. ASEA Global is not a scam. It is a product-based direct selling company, different from MLM scams.
Associates get commissions based on product sales made personally and by downline. It is not a money circulation scheme like Ponzi or pyramid scheme.
Despite don’t believe in all the claims made by ASEA or its representative. For promotion, representatives may use deceptive tactics, hence please make your own research and check real facts, before moving to any conclusion.
Overpriced Products
Products are the backbone of every business, but like most MLM companies ASEA products are also overpriced. ASEA claims to work on health science and use scientific terms for marketing purposes but for consumers actual results with no extreme side effects are important.
As a result, it becomes difficult to sell such products and you need extraordinary MLM skills to succeed.
ASEA products are FDA-registered as dietary supplements, therefore one can’t use ASEA products to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease and the same is mentioned on ASEA’s official website.
Italy Lawsuit
Italian Competition Authority (AGCM) fined ASEA Global 150,000 Euros in March 2014. With ASEA Italy, Vemma Italy and Organo Gold Europe were charged with unfair business practices such as serious health claims for product promotion.
Should I Join ASEA?
This decision is up to you. Take a wise decision along with keeping in mind that most people fail in MLM.
If you have excellent marketing skills and have an interest to build a large associate network, then ASEA is an opportunity for you.
But you should make your own research first and see whether products are effective or not. Moreover compare pricing with the similar products present in the retail market, as price differences highly affect sales.
MLM has a bad reputation so you need to put extra effort into promotion and convince people.
ASEA Global Income Disclosure is not conclusive, as they show income of only active associates and not all.
It takes 2 to 3 years to earn a regular decent income from MLM companies like ASEA Global and have less than a 1% success rate.
