Ray Faltinsky, founder and CEO of Beyond Slim, claims a career spanning over 100 product launches globally, generating more than $1 billion in total sales. His current venture, Beyond Slim, markets the weight loss supplement ZipSlim. The company launched its official Facebook page in July 2020.
Before Beyond Slim, Faltinsky founded FreeLife in 1995, an MLM enterprise focused on weight loss products. He also operated L'dara International, which sold anti-aging serums. Both FreeLife and L'dara International ceased operations around mid-2017. FreeLife's website domain became unresponsive, and its Facebook page activity ended at that time, mirroring L'dara International's timeline.
Under Faltinsky's leadership, FreeLife faced a civil class action lawsuit in Arizona. The lawsuit alleged false claims, misrepresentations, and deceptive advertising related to FreeLife's Himalayan Goji Juice, GoChi, and TaiSlim products. FreeLife ultimately settled the litigation.
Beyond Slim's corporate information lists an Arizona address. However, further examination reveals this address corresponds to a UPS store location, a common characteristic of direct sales operations without a physical corporate footprint.
The flagship product from Beyond Slim is ZipSlim, a weight loss supplement. Marketing materials for ZipSlim instruct users to take the product twice daily before meals. The company asserts that combining ZipSlim with dieting leads to customers losing "3x more weight than with dieting alone." Beyond Slim provides a 90-day, 100% money-back guarantee on ZipSlim purchases, excluding shipping costs.
ZipSlim is available in both caffeinated and caffeine-free versions. A monthly supply, comprising 60 servings, retails for $239.90. Customers opting for retail autoship receive a discounted price of $159.90 per month. A single pouch containing 30 ZipSlim servings costs $119.95 at retail, or $79.95 on autoship. Retail customers who maintain autoship for three consecutive months qualify for an additional 12% discount starting from the fourth month.
Beyond Slim's compensation plan pays commissions based on sales volume generated within a unilevel team structure. The company also offers additional bonuses tied to performance and rank achievements. Commissions and bonuses are primarily calculated using Business Volume (BV).
BV accumulates through product purchases made by both retail customers and recruited affiliates. A single pouch of ZipSlim (30 servings) generates 50 BV. An autoship order of 30 servings also accounts for 50 BV. Loyal subscribers, defined as those on autoship orders after the third month, contribute 40 BV per order. Up to 200 BV from any single source counts toward these calculations.
