TriVita and The Better Business Bureau.

The BBB (Better Business Bureau) is one of my very first stops when investigating a business or a new business opportunity I'm interested in. If a business is a scam, it's very likely that someone and probably many someones have filed complaints with the BBB. They are a neutral party who will notify the public of complaints and will at times assist with the resolution of those complaints. They are a consumer advocate and they rate companies based on the number of customer complaints and whether the complaints are resolved satisfactorily.

TriVita is an Accredited Member of the Better Business Bureau.
This speaks to their standards as far as customer satisfaction and product reliability and legitimacy.

I have seen many home-based businesses listed by the BBB with very low rankings.

For example, the last home-based business I was involved in prior to looking at TriVita has a rating of F with the BBB. In the last 36 months they've had 1763 complaints.....I should have paid better attention!

Another business I see promoted on the internet alot is GDI(Global Domains, Inc.). They are not a member of the BBB and have a rating of F. Doesn't inspire confidence.

In contrast, WalMart has had 197 complaints in the last 36 months and based on resolution of the complaints has a rating of A+. To me, it looks like they pay attention to customer satisfaction.

Sears has had 15,681 compaints in the last 36 months and has been given a rating of Satisfactory.

What can we find out about TriVita from the BBB? In the last 36 months, TriVita has had 5 complaints with the BBB and all 5 have been resolved. They have a rating of A- and have been an accredited member of the BBB since February, 2004.

Ellison Media (the parent company of TriVita) has been an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau since October of 1997 and has a rating of A+.

Is TriVita a scam?
Not according to the BBB.

TriVita, Legitimate Business or SCAM?

I am astonished at how much spam I get day after day after day from strangers promising to show me how to make my fortune..............like yesterday!

I absolutely HATE scams and scammers!!!
.....as careful as I try to be, I've still been scammed once or twice......they make it sound soooooooo good!

My question is.....how does the Trivita business opportunity compare to all the bogus promises of great wealth and prosperity with little effort or investment?

  • Don't waste you time looking at TriVita if you are looking for a way to get rich quick...you won't get rich quick. To me that's a good thing....I don't want someone making me promises that seem too good to be true. If you want to get rich quick, go buy a lottery ticket. You probably won't win but it won't cost that much and maybe you'll get lucky.
  • Don't look at Trivita if you want to build a business with no effort.....you are going to have to invest some of your time and some of your energy and some of your money. Well at least, you will earn more if you put more into your business. Some people are satisfied to just invest money and let Trivita do the rest...it works, it's just slower and less profitable. It's your business, you decide.
  • Don't bother with TriVita if you are looking for a traditional MLM (multi-level marketing) or Network Marketing business.....TriVita does share some characteristics with MLM such as a multi-level compensation, however, you are not required to sell any product with TriVita. And TriVita is a customer based business not an affiliate based business. In the typical MLM there are many business affiliates for each true customer who just wants to buy product. Compare that to TriVita which has over 2 million true customers to only about 1500 business affiliates.




With Trivita you can join today and have customers tomorrow and you never have to tell another soul about this opportunity to make a good income. If you choose to introduce others into your business and build your business that way....you are still not dependent on them sticking with it for you to make money because if they leave, their customers stay and you still make money on the customers' purchases. That's the beauty of a customer based business.

Furthermore, you don't have to sell products to make money! TriVita sells the products. TriVita markets the products by radio and by television infomercial also by print and by internet. TriVita does the customer follow-up. TriVita does the shipping and packaging and handles the money. They do virtually all of the customer contact.

Finally, unlike all those SCAMS and CASH MACHINES and GUARANTEED MILLIONAIRES and LAZY MAN'S ROAD TO RICHES, TriVita is stable and debt-free.

Trivita is a 10 year old company with a 35 year old parent company founded by and run by people of integrity.


Do your own research...I challenge you to find negatives about Trivita. I tried and I failed. TriVita is no scam!!

Can Anyone make money with TriVita??

Well there are definitely people making money with TriVita. There are independent Business Affiliates making multiple six figure incomes with TriVita. So making money is possible for some, but is it possible for me or for you or for any average schmo?

I'm certain nobody is going to get rich quick with Trivita. In fact, pretty much all Trivita publications and communications regarding the business opportunity including websites and phone conferences and recorded calls are very clear and adament on the point that this is not a method to get rich quick.

My conclusion after extensive research and listening to many hours of training and reading every thing I can find from and about the home-based business opportunity with this company is that anyone can make money with Trivita if they are willing to invest in their future. You've heard that it takes money to make money. With Trivita you will have to invest a certain amount of money and time and effort....how much money, time and effort you invest in your Trivita business will directly impact how much money you make in return. But, doesn't that make sense? Isn't that the way it is with any real business? It takes committment and diligence to succeed in business. TriVita is no different.

With Trivita, you have a choice. There are different ways to make money. Maybe all you want to put into your business is money....that will work. But your business may not grow as fast or as large as if you also chose to build in other ways. Maybe you want to invest minimal capital and instead want to build your business through introducing others to the business or to the products......It's your business; you decide.

The difference here is the business model of Trivita is much stronger than what you find in any other home-based business model. Trivita is a customer based business. This is not like any other home-based business or like any multi-level marketing or network marketing format I've found. And it is this difference which makes it possible for anyone to make money with Trivita.

The illustration used by TriVita to show this difference is as follows, In the typical network marketing format, the majority of customers are actually the business affiliates. They are the people trying to make money and are buying product because they are required to do so to be a representative. With TriVita, the business affiliates are required to make a small monthly purchase of product ($20-$100 depending on your level of achievement within the company) but the overwhelming majority of customers are just customers. TriVita has approximately 2.5 million customers and only about 1500 business affiliates.


YOU get to decide how many customers you want to profit-share with Trivita.

YOU decide how much money you want to make.
