Nu Skin’s Southeast Asia (SEA) region held its largest convention yet, when 6,000+ enthusiastic sales leaders created history as they gathered to connect, network and share their successes with one another.
The three-day SEA Regional Convention welcomed visitors from Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Brunei and Vietnam to the Singapore Expo Convention and Exhibition Centre from July 16 to 18.
One of the highlights of the Convention was the Force for Good session, where attendees learned about Tarisa Marito, a child from Medan, North Sumatera. Tarisa was diagnosed with congenital heart disease that forced her to use a pacemaker and prevented her from participating in sports or active events in school.
In March 2013, the Nu Skin family helped her receive a heart transplant through the SEA Children’s Heart Fund. Now a junior in high school, Tarisa wowed the crowd by singing a heartfelt song about holding on to your dreams. Steve Lund congratulated the SEA region for the great accomplishment of saving nearly 6,000 lives and creating countless smiles for children and their families.
The convention conference sessions motivated and inspired the audience to continue to create history by being a force for good throughout the world. Melisa Quijano, president of

Nu Skin Publishes Average USA Distributor Earnings

by Ted Nuyten • July 21, 2014 • 0 Comments

According to Nu Skin:
In 2013, the Company paid approximately $143,266,000 in commissions to Distributors residing in the United States.
There are two fundamental ways in which a Distributor can earn compensation:
Through retail markups on sales of products purchased at wholesale prices; and
Through commissions (sometimes called bonuses) paid on one’s product sales and the sales of other Distributors in one’s downline sales network. As with any other sales opportunity, the compensation earned by Distributors varies significantly and is based upon the time Distributors devote to the business, etc. The cost to become a Distributor is very low.
People become Distributors for various reasons. Many people become Distributors simply to enjoy the Company’s products at wholesale prices. Some join the business to improve their skills or to experience the management of their own business. Others become Distributors, but for various reasons, never purchase products from the Company.
Consequently, many Distributors never qualify to receive commissions. Generating meaningful compensation as a Distributor requires considerable time, effort, and commitment. This is not a get rich quick program. There are no guarantees of financial success.
The average commission paid to U.S. Active Distributors each month was $176.00, or $2,112.05 on an annualized basis. In 2013, the average monthly

Lawsuit: Nu Skin Paid MLM Compensation To Chinese Distributors

by Ted Nuyten • July 9, 2014 • 0 Comments

Several former Chinese distributors of Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. claim the marketer of skin care and nutritional supplements authorized sales representatives to earn compensation on their “downline” network in violation of the country’s regulations, according to a consolidated putative class-action complaint that was filed last month in Utah federal court against Nu Skin.
Nu Skin misled shareholders, orchestrating a “massive expansion in China knowing that Nu Skin’s form of multi-level compensation violated many of China’s regulations on direct selling and prohibitions on pyramid schemes,” the lead plaintiff State-Boston Retirement System, a government pension plan, alleged in the 124-page lawsuit filed on June 30.
Plaintiffs in the consolidated complaint have requested certification of a class of shareholders who purchased Nu Skin securities including options between May 4, 2011 and January 17, 2014. The end of the class period roughly coincides with a precipitous decline in Nu Skin’s stock price (NUS: NYSE), following revelations that the Chinese government was investigating its business practices.
Plaintiffs have alleged violations of Section 10(b) of The Exchange Act and Rule 10(b)(5), and Section 20(a) of The Exchange Act.
“We continue to believe the allegations are without merit and intend to defend ourselves vigorously,” Nu Skin spokesperson Kara Schneck said. “Nu
