In the footer of the Success by Health website the company advises;

In April 2019 Success by Health has scheduled a “Red” training event. On the information page for Red it is revealed;

RED is brought to you by Success By Media. SBM’s CEO is Jay Noland who will be the Lead Trainer of the Red Event.

Although not explicitly confirmed on the Success by Health website, it is assumed Jay Noland is also running Success by Health.

Noland first appeared on BehindMLM in a 2014 article covering when we reported on his fallout with Organo Gold’s other co-founders.

After Organo Gold Noland went on to launch his own coffee MLM company, SereniGy.

SereniGy launched in 2009 and was bought out by Rain International in mid 2015.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Noland was Rain International’s Chief Sales Officer from August 2015 to October 2016.

Success by Media launched in October 2015 according to Noland’s LinkedIn profile and appears to be a training company;

The Success by Health Compensation Plan

Success by Health’s compensation plan does reward affiliates for selling to retail customers, however most of the plan however is geared towards affiliate autoship recruitment.

Retail Commissions

Success by Health affiliates are paid to sell products to retail customers.

Retail commissions within Success by Health are defined as the difference between the wholesale and retail cost of products ordered.

An “average profit per (retail) customer” amount cited in the Success by Health compensation plan is $45.

Recruitment Commissions

Success by Health affiliates are paid to recruit new affiliates who sign up with Accelerator and Super Accelerator affiliate packs.

  • recruit an Accelerator Pack affiliate and receive $125
  • recruit a Super Accelerator Pack affiliate and receive $400

If a Success by Health affiliate sells three packs (any combination) within their first seven days, they receive an additional $50 in product credit.

Residual Commissions

Success by Health pays residual commissions via a unilevel compensation structure.

A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly under them (level 1):

If any level 1 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.

If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.

Success by Health caps payable unilevel team levels at five.

Commissions are paid out as a percentage of sales volume generated across these five levels as follows:

  • 10% on level 1 (personally recruited affiliates)
  • 6% on level 2
  • 4% on level 3
  • 3% on level 4
  • 2% on level 5

Although not strictly a residual commission, Success by Health also pays a 10% residual commission on an affiliate’s personal orders and retail sales volume.

Infinity Bonus

The Infinity Bonus is a generational bonus that extends residual commissions beyond the initial five offered levels.

A generation within the Success by Health compensation plan is defined when a Super Business Affiliate 1 or higher ranked affiliate is found in a unilevel leg.

This affiliate caps off the first generation for that leg, with the second generation beginning immediately after.

If no second Super Business Affiliate 1 or higher ranked affiliate exists deeper in the leg, the second generation extends the full depth of the leg.

Using this generational structure, Success by Health affiliates can earn an Infinity Bonus on up to four generations in each unilevel team leg.

  • Super Business Affiliate 1 ranked affiliates earn a 1% Infinity Bonus on one generation
  • Super Business Affiliate 2 ranked affiliates earn a 1% Infinity Bonus on two generations
  • Super Business Affiliate 3 ranked affiliates earn a 1% Infinity Bonus on three generations
  • Super Business Affiliate 4 ranked affiliates earn a 1% Infinity Bonus on four generations

Super Business Affiliate 1 rank qualification requires a Success by Health affiliate to generate ‘at least $15K in Team Affiliate Sales‘.

There is no indication of whether this sales volume is accumulated or monthly recurring. Nor does Success by Health provide qualification criteria for Super Business Affiliate 2 and higher.

BAM Bonuses

The BAM Bonus rewards Success by Health affiliates for recruiting affiliates on autoship.

$100+ Autoship

  • recruit ten affiliates who recruit ten affiliates all on $100+ autoship and receive a $1000 BAM Bonus
  • recruit ten affiliates who recruit ten affiliates who recruit ten affiliates all on $100+ autoship and receive a $10,000 BAM Bonus
  • recruit ten affiliates who recruit ten affiliates who recruit ten affiliates who recruit ten affiliates all on $100+ autoship and receive a $100,000 BAM Bonus
  • recruit ten affiliates who recruit ten affiliates who recruit ten affiliates who recruit ten affiliates who recruit ten affiliates all on $100+ autoship and receive a $1,000,000 BAM Bonus

$500+ Autoship

  • recruit ten affiliates who recruit ten affiliates all on $500+ autoship and receive a $5000 BAM Bonus
  • recruit ten affiliates who recruit ten affiliates who recruit ten affiliates all on $500+ autoship and receive a $50,000 BAM Bonus
  • recruit ten affiliates who recruit ten affiliates who recruit ten affiliates who recruit ten affiliates all on $500+ autoship and receive a $500,000 BAM Bonus
  • recruit ten affiliates who recruit ten affiliates who recruit ten affiliates who recruit ten affiliates who recruit ten affiliates all on $500+ autoship and receive a $5,000,000 BAM Bonus

Joining Success by Health

Basic Success by Health affiliate membership is $49.

The Success by Health compensation plan however suggests these affiliates only earn direct retail commissions (non-MLM).

Participation in Success by Health’s MLM opportunity appears to require the purchase of a “promotional package”:

  • SBH Affiliate Accelerator Pack – $500
  • SBH Affiliate Super Accelerator Pack – $1995

In addition to bundled products, the Success by Health compensation plan states:

  • the purchase of an SBH Affiliate Accelerator Pack “opens up 5 tiers of commissions”
  • the purchase of an SBH Affiliate Super Accelerator Pack “opens up all 6 tiers of commissions” and “maximize(s) profit potential”

The Success by Health compensation plan also mentions a “SBH Social Selling System”, which I believe is an additional undisclosed monthly cost.

Conclusion

Starting with Gano Excel in the mid 1990s, Jay Noland is undoubtedly a veteran of the MLM industry’s ganoderma coffee niche…

…which makes the affiliate autoship recruitment focus of Success by Health all the more disappointing.

The only component of Success by Health’s compensation plan that focuses on retail is a flat 10% commission. The rest of the compensation plan focuses on affiliate recruitment, with a clear slant towards recruitment of $100 and/or $500 monthly autoship.

Before we get into that though, let’s start with Success by Health’s “promotional packages”.

For starters, forcing affiliates to purchase products to qualify for commissions is “pay to play” which, from a regulatory standpoint, is frowned upon.

Then there’s the fact that there is absolutely no justification for the offering of a $1995 affiliate package, when Success by Health’s products cost between $20 to $79.

This does nothing but encourage inventory loading, and perfectly exemplifies why tying mandatory product purchases to commission qualification is a bad idea.

That Success by Health expects affiliates to focus on recruiting Super Accelerator Pack affiliates is obvious.

The $500 pack is described as the “fast way to grow SBH Affiliate Business” and the $1995 pack the “fastest way to grow SBH Affiliate Business”.

The fastest way to grow a Success by Health business should be by generating retail sales, not spending $1995 on an unreasonable amount of product for a new affiliate.

Moving onto the Success by Health compensation plan, we have pyramid commissions paid out by way of direct commissions paid on Accelerator Pack recruitment.

The two residual commission “theoretical examples” provided in the Success by Health compensation plan fail to account for retail sales whatsoever:

The examples instead offer calculations based on the recruitment of ten affiliates on $100 autoship and $500 autoship respectively, calculated down five levels of recruitment.

And then you have the BAM Bonuses, which all but cement Success by Health’s autoship focus.

The BAM Bonus literally rewards affiliates for recruiting affiliates on autoship.

To be clear: retail sales are possible within Success by Health and are paid out on, but when you examine the opportunity as a whole, it’s more than obvious what the company wants affiliates to focus on.

And it’s not retail.

As to the products, I doubt there’s much between Success by Health’s ganoderma offering when put up against Gano Excel, Organo Gold and SereniGy.

That’s not necessarily a bad thing, it just casts doubt on whether Success by Health is a genuine MLM opportunity launch or an autoship recruitment cash grab.

I suppose the addition of nutritional supplements might swing that argument towards the former. That’s only if you ignore Success by Health’s compensation plan however.

Like I said, a pretty disappointing opportunity launch from a self-professed “legend in the direct sales industry”.

Jay has built multiple massive sales organizations that span the globe, numbering approximately 2 Million members, generating Billions of Dollars in sales.

Someone who’s purportedly had that much success in the MLM industry should definitely know better.
