The "Open System" Green & Wellness Opportunity

• Sign-up fees. I don't believe you should have to pay to market someone else's products or services.
  
  
• Replicated website fees. These cost almost nothing for the company to host, and they should be giving you all the resources possible to market their business.
  
  
• Overpriced products. I believe someone should get a good deal the day they join, even if they never grow a business for themselves. Otherwise, you're charging them money for product, and then more money for "hope" that they can turn around and do the same to someone else. This is a hard sale to make, and an uncomfortable sale for many people to live with.
  
  
• Costly marketing materials. I prefer when a company gives you things to download and use for free. I also create materials like this for my teams; provide them with digital business card files so they can print at wholesale; teach them how to market online for free; provide them with free sizzle calls that explain the business; etc. In other words ... I don't believe in having people break their wallets before they ever have the chance to earn.
  
  
• Complicated compensation plans. In my mind, it's almost like most companies are trying to hide where the money is really going -- to the top. If a product or service is really worth sharing, you shouldn't have to razzle-dazzle people with crazy compensation plans. Keep it simple for the average person and pay everyone fairly.
  
  
• CLOSED SYSTEMS. This is the biggest point of all, and it's something almost no one talks about. Almost all sales are made to people inside the company. Of course the company has to take money out for their part, so what's left? There is less money to pay people than people have paid in -- so the average person absolutely, mathematically, has to lose money. Since some people in the company make quite a lot, it means most people will lose almost everything they put in. This is modified a little bit by outside customers, but it is largely the case.

• NO sign-up fees.
  
  
• NO website fees.
  
  
• NO overpriced products (monthly purchase requirements start under $20).
  
  
• A simple compensation plan.
  
  
• Breakthrough products. A lot of MLM companies claim to have premium products, but when you have the right background, you can see through the hype to very average products. Others do have extraordinary products. What excites me is that the company I work with continues rolling out products that set new standards in the areas of "green" and wellness.
  
  
• And an OPEN SYSTEM, in which they sell breakthrough products through brick & mortar retail (as well as through their own website) and bring profits from global sales in to company reps. This also means you can earn a true living from SMALL teams and WITHOUT relying on the work ethic of other people.
