Welcome to my Zrii review.
So, what is Zrii? Well, it’s another MLM company occupying the health and wellness space offering people (you) a homebased business opportunity.
The company founded by Bill Farley in 2007 and is headquartered in Draper Utah, USA. Currently they market their products throughout Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Hongkong and Central and South America.
They are also listed with the Better Business Bureau with A+ rating and the currently have zero complaints registered against them.
Now this sounds all well and good but is this a true homebased business opportunity? Or is this something you should pass on?
Well, that’s what my review is all about. I’m going to look at their products as well as dig into their compensation plan and see if there is the opportunity to really make a successful go of this business.
Now, before we get into this, I need to make something perfectly clear. I’m simply here to show you the pros and cons of Zrii and give you my personal opinion. What you decide to do after reading my review is up to you.

This review is my personal opinion and any recommendations/conclusions are my own which you may or may not agree with. What you decide to do after reading my review is up to you.

Alright, let’s see what Zrii is all about.
The Products
Now before I get into the products, they have to offer. One notable standout is that all of their products are endorsed by the Chopra Wellness Center, which was founded by Dr. Deepak Chopra.
Now if you’re not sure who Dr. Deepak Chopra is. He is a Hindu doctor that specializes in Ayurvedic medicine. He is also a bestselling author and world renowned public speaker. As for Ayurvedic medicine, it’s is one of the world’s oldest medical systems.
Ok now for the products.
At the time of this writing they have 12 products available. Which I would put into Skincare products and overall Wellness products.
Now I wish I could tell you how much the products are but I can’t. And that’s because there is no pricing information on their website.
You can’t even order the products through thier website. The website is just there as a first step to get people involved with the business. I’ll talk more about that in a moment.
First let’s cover the products. They have:
Amalaki
- This fruit juice contains high level of antioxidants which help protect the body from free radical damage.
Rise
- This is their Colombian coffee made with arabic and green coffee beans.
Achieve
- This is thier protein shake that they say supports a balanced diet.
Accell
- This is a quick, on-the-go drink mix that helps boost your energy and enhance your performance.
Omega 3
- This is thier Omega 3 supplement.
AM/PM
- AM is desinged to support your energy, digestion, and cellular health. And PM is desinged to give you a restful sleep.
Purify
- A routine of products to help detoxify your body.
Day Cream
- This is a lightweight, broad spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen
Night Cream
- This product is designed to hydrate and nourish your skin for a radiant and youthful-looking complexion.
Facial Exfoliator
- Removes dirt and dead cells protecting the skin from harmful effects. While reinforcing the skin’s natural lipid barrier to lock in moisture.
Zrii New Serum
- They say that New Serum helps smooth, soften, plump, brighten, firm and even out skin tone giving your skin a more radiant, youthful looking skin
I’ve done a lot of reviews of MLM companies that offer the same products that Zrii has. And the reality is there is nothing special or outstanding about products like these.
Every company in the health and wellness niche has similar products, that make the same claims as what they can do for you. The only real difference is story behind the products.
Now with that said, Zrii has one thing that makes them stand out a little more than other MLM companies. And that’s the endorsement from Dr. Deepak Chopra. And I do have to tip my hat to Zrii for getting that endorsement.
But even with that endorsement their products are not are not evaluated or endorsed by the FDA. The governing body that evaluates products. If they had an endorsement like that, which they could NEVER get. Then the claims they make about their products would hold more truth.
And because their products are not evaluated by the FDA. This means the Zrii does not have to prove their products work or are even safe to use.
And if you take a really hard look at the bottom of their product page you’ll find in very small and faint print this disclaimer:
These products are not used for the treatment, cure, or prevention of any disease. They are not medications and do not supplement a balanced diet.
My point is you have to take everything these companies tell you about their products with a grain of salt.
Don’t take the companies word for it, nor the person trying to get you involved with the company.
So, if you’re going to represent these products the smart thing to do is first try the products yourself and evaluate them for yourself. See if they do what they say they can do.
You certainly don’t want to be representing a company that’s not providing quality products. Or worse representing a company that’s lying about what their products can do.
Doing this is all part of your due diligence when it comes to business opportunities of this nature. This is the CYA (covering your ass) part of your research.
So, How Much Is It To Get Started With Zrii?
Ok, there is ZERO information regarding the cost of getting started with Zrii. When you click the Opportunity link you’re sent to a page where you have to fill out your contact information and they say they will get back to you.
I have to say this is pathetic. As someone who is looking for a business opportunity, I’m not going to provide my contact information without at least knowing anything about the business opportunity.
Anyway, I did some digging and I found out how much it’s going to cost you to get started with Zrii.
When joining Zrii as an Independent Executive (IE), you must purchase one of 3 enrollment packs:
- The Basic Enrollment Pack – The Basic Enrollment Pack does not include a selection of products. You choose the products you want to add to this pack.
- The Executive Z-Pack (EZP) – This includes a selection for products and costs $500.
- The Premier Z-Pack (PZP) – This includes a selection for products and costs $1000.
As you accumulate PQV, you can “unlock” the benefits associated with purchasing an EZP or PZP.
There is also an annual membership fee of $29.95. It also states that you get 4 weeks access to the Zrii back office.
But I could not find the cost for that access after the 4 weeks period. So, I think it’s safe to assume there is going to be a monthly fee after the first 4 weeks for that back office access.
Also here’s the difference when it comes to buying either the Executive Z-Pack and the Premier Z-Pack:
Executive Z-Pack
- Access To 13 Of 15 bonuses in the prosperity plan
- Eligibility to qualify for zrii’s exclusive leadership academy events
Premier Z-Pack
- Access to all 15 bonuses in the prosperity plan
- Eligibility to qualify for zrii’s exclusive leadership academy events
- 25% first order bonus on every initial order by a personally enrolled independent executive
- Eligibility to earn a huge 4 weeks to 4-star bonus
So, if you want to get the most out of their compensation plan you’ll need to buy the Premier Z-Pack for $1000.00.
Zrii’s Compensation Plan
Just like the business opportunity. There is ZERO information on their site regarding their compensation plan. So, I had to do some digging to find out about their compensation plan. Or as they call it – Prosperity Plan.
Now I did find a link to a brochure covering their compensation plan. It is from 2018, so there may be updates to the plan, but I doubt it. Most MLM companies stick with the same compensation plan. Here’s the link to that brochure I found.
Now as with all MLM compensation plans they are complicated and confusing. So, I’m not going to get into every detail of this plan. I’m just going to give you the highlights. But it will be enough for you to get a grasp of their compensation plan.
And if you’re serious about joining Zrii. Then you need to read their compensation plan from start to finish so you know exactly what you’re getting yourself involved with.
And if you have questions about the business or the compensation plan, you’ll need to find someone that’s already in Zrii and ask them. Or give your content information to Zrii and wait for them to get in touch with you.
The information I’m referencing is from the brochure I found online. According to their compensation plan there are 3 income opportunities.
Immediate
- First order bonus (15% payout)
- First order bonus (15% payout)
- First order bonus (30% payout)
- Four Weeks to 4-Star Bonus
Residual
- Team commissions
- Matching bonus
- Customer bonus
- Customer-performance bonus
- Loyalty rewards
Leadership
- Lifestyle bonus
- Leadership Academy
- Achievement bonus
- Global leadership pool
Now as with all MLM compensation plans you must meet certain qualifications in order to be eligible to earn bonuses.
For Zrii once you’ve accumulated a total of 500 PQV (Personal Qualifying Volume). You’ll unlock the benefits of the EZP (Executive Z-Pack). And once you’ve accumulated a total of 1,000 PQV (Personal Qualifying Volume), you’ll unlock the benefits of the PZP (Premier Z-Pack).
Below are the rank qualification within their compensation plan.
Again, if you’re considering joining Zrii you need to read their compensation plan.
So, Can You Expect To Make Money With Zrii?
Now I did find an income disclosure statement showing the average earning for independent representatives of Zrii. It is an older statement from 2016. But it’s still information you can use when making a decision about Zrii.
Now after reading this disclosure statement I can see why I could not find a more up to date document. This statement shows the chances of you making any real money with this company is slim to none.
The chart below shows the average earnings for an independent representative between January 1, 2016 and December 31st, 2016.
Now according to Statista.com in 2019 the average US median household income was 68,703 U.S. dollars. Not bad really, personally I thought it was a lot less.
Anyway, if you look at the chart below you see that only 0.46% of representatives get close to the average median household income. And only 0.23% earn above the median household income.
And if you add up the percentages from Star 1 to Star 4 – 93.42% of representatives earn less than $375.00 per month. Now that amount does not include the money representatives spend to market their business.
And the higher you go in the ranks the percentages don’t get better, they get worse.
The numbers don’t lie. Their own income disclosure statement proves the odds of making any real money though their compensation plan is slim at best. And it only favors a very, very small percentage of people.
What I Like About Zrii
After looking at Zrii there are only a few things that stand out for me.
#1) Better Business Bureau
Despite not being accredited with the Better Business Bureau they do have a A+ rating.
#2) Endorsed By Deepak Chopra
Deepak Chopra is very well respected and I’m sure he put a lot of thought and consideration before endorsing products from Zrii.
What I Didn’t Like About Zrii
#1) Lack Of Transparency
There is absolutely ZERO information on their website about the business opportunity or the compensation plan. You have to provide your contact information first before you can get any information.
And that’s ridiculous. They should have this information readily available on their website.
#2) High Start Up Cost
Compared to other MLM business opportunities the cost to get involved with Zrii is very high.
#3) Low Chance Of Success
The numbers in their income disclosure statement don’t lie. You have a less than 1% chance of making any real money through this business opportunity. In fact, chances are you’re more likely to lose money.
#4) Nothing Special
Other than the overhyped product description there is absolutely nothing special about their products. You can find similar products claiming similar results being sold by a hundred other MLM companies. Not to mention finding them in place like Amazon and your local stores.
Don’t believe the hype, because that’s it is – hype.
#5) Focus On Recruitment
If you want any shot at making any money, you’re going to have to constantly be recruiting people into your business. And that’s not something the majority of people can do.
Every MLM company will makes it sound like it’s a walk in the park when it comes to building a successful MLM business. But most people find out that it’s far from that. And that’s why most people quit MLM within the first year.
If you want to build a REAL business it has nothing to do with recruiting people in order to build that business.
My Final Opinion Of Zrii
Yes, Zrii has a business opportunity, and yes for the right person, and that’s the key word “right”. The right person has the opportunity to make this business a success.
But as history shows with MLM, for the majority of people all that’s going to happen is they’re going get frustrated and lose a lot of money on a flawed business model. So, do I think you should jump on this opportunity?
Absolutely not.
Even if you never read my review tell me I’m wrong when I say that a company that does not provide basic information on their website when it comes to their business opportunity and the way in which you make money is something that should raise big red flags regarding the company and the opportunity?
Now add to that MLM is one of the absolute worst business models you can follow for building a business. Heck, their own income disclosure statement shows you have a less than 1% chance of making any real money.
With all that, all I see is a business opportunity is going to provide a ton of challenges when it comes to any level of success.
Now of course I don’t know you and maybe you’ll be in that 1% of people that make this a successful business. And if you think you can be in that 1% than go for it.
But if you don’t like those odds then this is not the business opportunity for you.
Now that does not mean you have run out of opportunities for making money online from home?
Not at all, there are plenty of other options for you.
Have you heard of Affiliate Marketing?
If not then maybe it’s something you should take a look at.
Now, unlike MLM you never have to recruit anyone to build your business, you don’t need to meet any qualifications in order to make money. And you never have to sell anything to anyone to make money.
And the cool thing about affiliate marketing is that you can build your entire business around ANY interest, hobby or passion that you have. And be in 100% control and ownership of your business. Unlike MLM where you’re not.
Now if that sounds more appealing than joining an MLM company. Then I think you own it to yourself to look more into Affiliate Marketing.
And one of the best places to learn more about affiliate marketing would be Wealthy Affiliate.
Since 2005 they have been providing people all the tools, training, resources and personal one-on-one support when it comes to building a thriving online affiliate marketing business.
And you can see everything wealthy affiliate has available absolutely free.
