How to promote the products
Seacret encourages promotion of their products through home parties. They are often called WOW or Spa parties.
Check out my article on “Why Throwing Home Parties And Home Meetings Is A Business KILLER!“
Many agents also leverage the power of the internet and through their own websites and social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus.
NOTE: A lot of inexperienced Seacret agents are spamming Facebook and Instagram walls. Read this post “The quickest way to lose your Real and Facebook friends” before advertise on Facebook.
The Compensation Plan
Can you make money with this business opportunity? That my friend is the million dollar question. Seacret calls it’s compensation plan the Power of 2. It is actually a network marketing binary plan.
NOTE: A network marketing Binary Plan is a compensation plan in which distributors are placed in a binary (two legged) tree structure, or a left and a right subtree in the organization. It pays to infinite downline. That means that a member will be paid by downline, even if the downline are 15 level deep in your structure. It is the most popular plan among network marketing companies, network marketers, part-timers and members who want to earn through network marketing business.
For a more detailed look the full Seacret compensation plan here.
You must be active as a Seacret Agent to be eligible to receive commissions with the Seacret Compensation Plan.
Seacret defines active as an agent who has a minimum of 35 Personal Volume (PV) or 200 Total Personal Volume (TPV) every four weeks.
So how do I reach the Top Seacret ranks?
Well, the company will tell you to contact your warm market (friends, family members co-workers, etc) and trying to persuade them to be a customer or join the company and become an Seacret agent.
They will also tell you to make a list of basically any and everybody you know or meet to share your business with. and the reality is that it works for only a few people but not for all.
Unfortunately, it’s a problem not only in Seacret but in network marketing as a whole.

THE SAD TRUTH
Your ability to enroll and sponsor new people into your business will determine your income in Seacret or any Network Marketing company.
The facts don’t lie, take a deep look at the compensation plan Seacret rewards those that develop their marketing skills and generate qualified leads that are looking for a business opportunity like Seacret.
That is why, I highly recommend anyone interested in starting a Seacret business also implement a proven Network Marketing Lead Generation System.
A quality system must allow you to brand yourself as a leader, teach and allow you to generate leads, as well as help you generate income from the individuals not interested in the Seacret opportunity.
If you care about skin, care about people and implement a Network Marketing Lead Generation System like the one I’ve just described Seacret could be the opportunity that makes a difference in your life and many others.
WARNING: 95% of Seacret Agents FAIL!
By using attraction marketing, learning a few marketing skills, and leveraging the power of the internet, you can succeed where the other 95% fail.

Yes, your success or FAILURE as an Agent will ultimately be determined by how many people you can attract to you and your team.
Without understanding Attraction Marketing principles, you will always be at a serious disadvantage.
If you want the best chance at success in your Seacret business, you also need to learn Attraction Marketing principles.

Pros

Cons

If you are interested in selling beauty products then Seacret may be a good fit for you!

The Bottom Line
It was very smart of you to conduct your due diligence and research.
I recommend that you continue researching and read as many Seacret reviews. as possible.
Make sure you get to know as much about the company as you can before making a decision.
But also understand that if you are new to the direct sales and network marketing industry that your success will come from your ability to generate continuous leads in order to make sales.
You can make some money with this opportunity but it may be difficult for a newbie (new to marketing or sales) to make monthly quotas and generate a residual income stream.
Even experienced network marketers might work hard to build large teams and still not produce the life changing income stream they desire.
In my opinion Seacret is just like any other direct sales and network marketing company.
I if you are interested in beauty, cosmetics and skin care and feel comfortable with their products, then Seacret is certainly an business opportunity worth looking into.
Success in network marketing is not a huge mystery.
It is just a matter of correct education, proper skills and effective action.
GOOD LUCK!
