Via Viente Expert Review by Brian Garvin and Jeff West

Via Viente is a company that was started by Craig Keeland and is based in Plano, Texas. The company has developed a “tonic” that claims to be whole food and all natural. The tonic is made of pulp, fruit skin, fruit seeds, and herbs that are all mixed with mineral water from Vilcabamba. Currently the Via Viente products are available in Malaysia, Mexico, Taiwan, Singapore, the Philippines, Hong-Kong, New Zealand, Japan, Canada, Australia and the United States. When visiting the official website for Via Viente, a page says that purchase of the Via Viente product is not allowed unless the page visitor was referred by an “existing customer”.

Via Viente claims their products are distributed all over the world via the Internet and through a Direct to Consumer program. It is exceedingly expensive, coming in at a price of USD $53 per bottle.

Via Viente also has a program in place through which representatives recruit other representatives to work for them. There is a product called “MyViaOffice” through which Via Viente representatives can sell the Via Viente product. There are different levels of Via Viente ViaOffices to buy, but we couldn’t find a price anywhere on the site that was offering them.

Other than the one site that offered the sale of Via Viente Offices, we found next to nothing about the Via Viente Income Opportunity. Obviously it must be a multi-leveled marketing down-line type of plan in which sales people recruit other sales people to work from them and then earn commissions based on the sales of each person in his or her down line. The commissions could add up quickly seeing as how bottles of Via Viente are fifty three US dollars per bottle.

Of the few articles we found about this company, with the exceptions of the sites that had links to the official Via Viente website, all of the articles had links to direct sales pages – you know the kind: “You’ve tried Everyhing, Now Try This! Become a Member Now for only $49.99! This price will only last for another twenty four hours!” If that’s not shady, we don’t know what is.

If you are going to tell people that the only way they can buy your product is if they are referred by an existing customer, you should have some way of finding those existing customers listed on your site. Also, if you are going to offer a money making opportunity perhaps the people you let associate with your name should not be placing “come hither” articles on the internet because the articles they are placing all link to those horrible dead end sales pages.

When reading the product description, Via Viente sounds like kind of a neat product. It’s made with water from an area where much of the population lives to be over a hundred. However, there is virtually no way to buy this product and even if you could find an existing customer to refer you, would you really pay $53 USD per bottle?
