Back in 2005, three regular guys founded ViSalus with a vision of improving Life, Health and Prosperity around the world. Never in our wildest dreams could we imagine how quickly our vision would take off.

Today—a mere seven years later—ViSalus is transforming the lives of millions of people and continues to grow at an exponential rate. We’re humbled by what we have achieved and excited about where we are heading.

Considering that even WE are blown away by ViSalus’ fast-track, it is only human nature for others to doubt our company’s rise to fame.  When a company is growing fast and furious in our industry in the way we are, it’s easy to label it as a scam. Our success almost begs the question, “Is this for real?”

We get it. But let us assure you—ViSalus is NOT A SCAM.

The key to our success is a combination of good old-fashioned hard work, having a great product and relying on a business model founded on personal connection. To us, it’s not business, it’s personal.

As a social marketing company, we rely on customers and Promoters to emotionally invest in our brand, our products and our lifestyle. These people go out of their way to spread the word about ViSalus through conversations with family and friends, community events and social media. This authentic connection is something you just can’t fake.

We’re experiencing phenomenal sales and growth by promoting ourselves in this way. And many of our Promoters selling our products are experiencing the financial rewards firsthand.

We’re not alone with our word-of-mouth marketing strategy. Every successful company of this generation—companies like Facebook, FourSquare, Pinterest—even Google—have increased their business using the very same methods. Obviously, we all can’t be scam artists.

Just because we understand the skepticism about our company doesn’t mean we accept it. Every day we are growing bigger and stronger—lifted by the passion of the people who understand what we’re all about. This is what we decide to focus on—not the naysayers. It is who we are, and we are not going to make any apologies for it – or let the doubts of others slow us down.
