Recent findings show LifeVantage’s GLP-1 system could activate weight management.

This month, the study targeted the UK, Spain, France, Germany and Poland, and while the research presented in this article focuses on the generational differences across Europe as a whole, the study also provided striking differences between each of these growing direct selling markets.

4Life scientists collaborated with research lab Crown Bioscience in a study titled Immunomodulatory Effects of Modified Colostrum, Whey, and Their Combination with Other Natural Products.

Mary Kay Inc. and its team of scientists presented the results of two research studies at the 2024 Society of Investigative Dermatology in Dallas, Texas. Their findings revealed how an antioxidant treatment can diminish the visible effects of pollution and aging on human skin, and how computational tools can accurately predict the safety and potential reactions of human skin to various cosmetic ingredients.

This month, we turn our energy to the insights gained on Leadership and Team Building. An interesting set of facts uncovered by the study is that this idea that everyone would want to build a team if only we rewarded it properly, marketed it well and encouraged them enough is simply not true for Gen Z and Younger Millennials.

Young Living Essential Oils published a study in Diversity, a scientific journal, chronicling a comprehensive study on bees in North America and their habits of visiting lavender. The results of the study demonstrate the lavender plant’s role in supporting a diverse community of bees.

This month, we turn our energy to the insights gained on Retention. An interesting set of facts uncovered by the study is that retention may be made up of even more elements than we may have previously thought. In particular, the research highlighted an increasingly strong correlation between recognition and retention.

This month, we turn our energy to the insights gained on Events and Incentive Trips. While we may not deliver as many shocking “a-ha”s in this area of insight, I challenge each of you to look closely at your programs through this lens and (perhaps ruthlessly) edit. Done well, you can see massive savings by not paying for duplicative rewards and increased productivity by focusing only on the most compelling offerings.

For the purposes of this study, recognition was really explored under the umbrella of “Motivations.” Meaning, we examined all the programs, communication, celebration and incentives that would most likely resonate for direct sellers to join, stay and thrive with direct selling companies. Interestingly, the differences between men and women were just as stark as the differences between generations.

As we shared consistently throughout this series, the news surrounding all generations is that EACH is radically different in how they want to be prospected, talked to and approached about direct selling opportunities. We have highlighted that a “One-Size-Fits-All” approach simply doesn’t work anymore, and that insight continues when it comes to compensation plans and the overall value proposition that each generation sees in direct selling.

Young Living is investing in a new research project to study the relationship between the milkweed plant and monarch butterflies.

In a new study commissioned by Herbalife, which surveyed 2,000 Americans and 6,500 international participants in 9 countries, almost half of Americans (40%) reported turning to side hustles or other forms of supplemental income to help pay their bills or provide flexible income.
