A Study of Juice Plus Opportunity
Posted on 04. Dec, 2009 by admin.
Juice Plus Opportunity:
Business Model:
- Provides products
- Offers a system of sharing product using the Juice Plus Virtual Franchisees
- Offers free administration, back-office for Juice Plus Distributors to use.
- Offers support and training materials, innovative marketing programs, and assistance from experienced professionals.
- Provides a lucrative compensation plan
Juice Plus products are promoted by individual distributors who receive sales commissions ranging from 6%, by enrolling five customers in 30 days, to 14% for enrolling twenty customers in 30 days.
Getting Started:
It costs $50.00 to submit and application and have 140 BV on autoship.
Below are five steps that Juice Plus recommends you do, if you want to build a successful Juice Plus business.
1. Become a Juice Plus Preferred Customer:
2. Submit a Juice Plus Virtual Franchise Application
3. 10-1-10
4. 5-1
5. Duplicate Steps 1-4.
Building a Juice Plus business starts with the Juice Plus products.
Next, you apply, what is referred to as, the NSA Virtual Franchise system to attract Juice Plus customers and business builders. The system is as follows:
1. Share your enthusiasm about Juice Plus to your patients, clients, or customers.
2. Ask them to listen to a Juice Plus audiotape, video, or CD.
3. Let your Wellness Coordinator do the rest.
To explain this step, once you have shared the audiotape, video or CD, contact your Wellness Coordinator every day by phone, fax, or email and give them the names and phone numbers of the people you have spoken with. The Wellness Coordinator follows up on your behalf to “close the deal” and get them started as Juice Plus Preferred Customer.
Often, your Wellness Coordinator is the sponsor or someone you choose, such as your office manager or another individual who works with you.
You earn $20 retail profit for every new Juice Plus Preferred Customer and the same $20 for each subsequent reorder. Juice Plus takes care of shipping the products, billing your customer, and collecting the money and paying you automatically every month.
- In the beginning, part of your retail profit is automatically paid to your Wellness Coordinator with your first order. The important thing is to stay in contact with your customer during their first 100 days on Juice Plus.
- Starting the second reorder, all of the retail profits remain with you. At this point, the Wellness Coordinator remains focused on the new customers you continue to send his or her way. As you continue to add new Juice Plus customers, you automatically qualify to earn commissions along with your retail profit.
- Commissions are based on how much business you accumulate over time.
- You build your business and qualify for commissions at your own pace. Juice Plus keeps track of the business you build and accumulate, automatically.
- Once you have started earning a commission, you remain there, you never have to re-qualify for that commission level again.
Juice Plus Products:
Juice Plus Chewables: capsules in a chewable form. Deliver the same fruit and vegetable powder blends.
Juice Plus Vineyard Blend: provides naturally balanced whole food based on nutrition from Concord grapes and eight different berries (blueberry, cranberry, blackberry, bilberry, raspberry, red currant, black currant , and elderberry.
Juice Plus Complete: is a whole food based beverage product that provides balanced nutrition in every scoop. It can be used in any number of ways; such as, on-the-go breakfast, pre-exercise energy drink, post-workout recovery drink, or a late night snack. Comes in French Vanilla and Dutch Chocolate.
Juice Plus Compensation Plan:
Fast Track Program:
The key to succeed in Juice Plus it to be consistent in your marketing efforts, which means to consistently continue talking to a few people ever day. To encourage this activity during your first 60 days in the business, Juice Plus offers a special “Fast Track” program.
- First you become a Preferred Customer
- Next, you generate 20 Juice Plus customers during your first 60 days in the business (approx. 2-3 customers per week). With Fast Track you can earn 14% commission level, in addition to your retail profit. This raises your profits to almost $34.00 a carton ( the $20 retail profits plus approximately $14 in commissions).
There are 7 levels in Juice Plus: Junior Associate, Associate, Managing Associate, Diamond Executive Leader, Double Diamond Leader, and Triple Diamond Leader.
Commissions earned include: bonus commission based on group volume, Quick Start Bonus, and Personal Purchase Rebate.
Those who are Diamond Executive Leader or above can earn 2% Leadership Bonus paid to infinity,
A Double Diamond Leader can earn, in addition to the above compensation, a $500 Dream Bonus.
A Triple Diamond Leader, in addition to above compensation, can earn 2% Leadership Bonus and participate in Revenue Sharing Bonus with other Triple Diamonds (equal to 0.5 of 1% of global net revenue sales paid monthly
Juice Plus Training:
Juice Plus talks a lot about sharing the experience of the juice products with others and getting them to try the products. For the most part, this does not work. What most MLM’s and network companies share with their members are essentially what has worked for them to make them successful, not what will work for you.
Most MLM’s and network marketing companies know that many will drop out, but there will be others who will remain and continue using the products, which helps the to generate a lucrative profit. The members of these companies are never informed of this by these companies and it stands to reason why; they are the ones making the money. If they told the members of their company what they are doing and why, more than likely, their profits would be substantially less because so many have left.
If you are struggling in Juice Plus, it is not your fault. In fact, most people starting a business will end up with credit card debt, feel frustrated, and eventually quit. I am sure those who have quit did everything their upline told them.
The reality is, there is no way you can become successful chasing after family and friends. This would require you to meet 30 new people every day. Although not impossible, I have met a few who have accomplished this and gone on to become millionaires, but most of us cannot do this due to personal responsibilities, etc.
The key to success in any MLM or network marketing business is to learn how to attract people to YOU. This means stop promoting the products and opportunity of your home business and start promoting you by providing value to others. The value I am referring to is help other network marketers with their business and you will find them seeking you out for more information. In time they will be chasing you with credit card in hand.
Begging and chasing people down is not the way to build a business. You don’t see Wal-Mart, Target, or any of these other big companies chasing people down, so why are you? With the proper skills you will discover ways to attract people to you in Juice Plus.
Making a six-figure income in your Juice Plus opportunity is very possible. You just have to understand the principles of attraction marketing. If you want to learn, fill out the form below and you will be well on your way to discovering the tools and strategies that will help to explode your bottom line. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. This could be your one golden nugget that could put you on the path to success in your Juice Plus opportunity.

A Review Of FDI International Business Opportunity
Posted on 04. Dec, 2009 by admin.
FDI International Business Opportunity:
Since FDI International (Financial Destinations International) has merged with GIConnect, GIConnect is what I will talk about here because it is there products and services that FDI International distributes.
GIConnect provides products and services to customers in over 130 countries.
There are 7 categories of Telecommunications with FDI International that one can profit from. They include residential, Cellular, VoIP, Corporate Solutions, Calling Cards, International Calling , and Products/Equipment.
Customers purchase and activate their telecom services in real-time at a representative’s online e-store. Whenever customers return to a website to reload airtime, this generates a residual income. All transactions can be seen within the reps virtual office.
The Independent Marketing Director (IMD) Income Opportunity package includes a personalized website, ITAT instant telecom account terminal, e-bank, visa card, online visa account management, email blaster, and virtual office.
GIConnect Products:
Since FDI International and GIConnect have merged, the products distributed by the FDI representatives will be the products of GIConnect. These products include Widgets, GiCell, Video Phone, USB Phone, Virtual Calling Card, and QIC TriNet.
FDI International Compensation Plan | GIConnect Compensation Plan:
Ways to earn money in FDI International are fast start bonuses, residual income, wellnessTRAX Comps, Leadership Bonuses, Car Bonuses, and Profit Sharing.
You earn $50.00 Fast Start Bonus when you bring in a new IMD in your 4 level organization.
All products sold through a reps GIConnect website generates a commission of 10% or higher depending on the product. Product sales commissions are paid out monthly. There is no upline commission. This helps to keep the prices competitive.
There are 4 types of income: immediate weekly income, long term residual income, quarterly leadership bonuses, and infinity bonuses.
For each new qualified IMD in your organization, you receive $50.00 bonus for the levels you qualify. A qualified IMD must maintain 6 customers that spend at least $20 per month.
To earn a commission, each IMD must become qualified and be active. To be considered active, an IMD must spend at least $40 per month auto active fee.
How the compensation works:
There are a number of levels that an IMD earns an income, and the amount you earn from each level varies. For example, at level 0, you earn 5% from all airtime sales and 80% commission off product sales. At Level 1, there is 100% matched, Level 2 is 60% matched. Level 3 is 40% matched, and Level 4 is 100% matched.
In essence, if you have 6 IMD’s across, 4 levels deep, everyone has 15 customers that are spending $20.00 per month, this means you earn $21,165.00 per month.
Now as a qualified Executive Marketing Director (EMD) with 1 EMD anywhere in your group, you receive 20% matching of all the EMD’s four levels.
To qualify as an EMD, you must have at least 3 EMD’s anywhere in your group, 1 of which must be under 1 of your 3 EMD’s organization. You earn 40% matching of all EMD’s four levels.
FDI International Training | GIConnect Training:
The training offered by Financial Destinations includes the following:
Weekly Training Conference Calls that teach you about business
Leadership Regional Rallies to help you develop your leadership skills.
Product and business building training
Cutting-edge Internet Support Tools
Annual Events for networking, training, and more…
Effective sales literature and promotional tools
Financial Training Tele-Seminars and more…
Although FDI International offers trainings through GIConnect, the trainings offered are not necessarily the kind of trainings that will generate leads and money for your business. Building a business is not easy, and marketing skills are what is going to determine your success. Replicated websites, conference calls, events will not generate customers or income into your business.
The truth of the matter is that most individuals in mlm or network marketing companies have no clue on how to succeed in business. But, it does not matter who you are what your experience is in business. If you have the desire and a willingness to learn new skills to expand you abilities, you can earn a very lucrative income from a business like FDI International.
The real way to make money in business is to learn how to promote YOU. Unfortunately, FDI International will teach you how to market the products as well as the company. It will not teach you how to market you. Rarely does anyone create any type of income using the techniques taught by FDI.
So, what is the solution? The answer is to focus on learning how to market. Learn the principles fo successfully marketing your business and then implement those principles in to your business practices. If you are not skilled in creating success in your business, then it is your responsibility to educate yourself on how to create success. If you are serious about building a successful business, you might want to look into a online marketing system, which will not only give you the marketing skills, but also help you earn an income while you are learning.

Also referred to as The Eiro QuinFinity Plan. There are five different ways to generate an income in Eiro Research.

Check Matching Bonuses: As a leader in Eiro, you can share in the success of your associates in your organization. The more you help your team grow, the more you personally benefit.
Eiro Research Training:
Eiro Research briefly mentions on its web site the importance of creating an online presence. It even discusses creating your own personalized web site and using them to make the Eiro opportunity.
Upon reading this, I was surprised. I thought, finally a network marketing company that teaches its new associates how to brand themselves on the internet. But, as I read further, what I discovered was that the trainings offered fall back into utilizing old style marketing methods; such as making a list, contacting and inviting prospects, sharing your products and opportunity.
For some, these methods have worked, but many people who have used them, discover that after a year or more, although they may have achieved success in their business, the amount of work to continue doing what they have done in the past becomes very overwhelming. If you don’t mind using such methods and they are working for you, then, by all means, continue to use them. But, I ask you to consider those you bring into your business.
Many people who join your business opportunity, will not do the type of offline marketing that you do. So, in this case, it be to your advantage to offer choices. What if those individuals in your business preferred to use the internet to build their business? Where would you point them to? There are actual systems that one can use to build a home business that will teach you not only various marketing strategies that you can apply, but those individuals can also earn an income while they are building a business.
Now, what does this mean for you? If your business partners are making money and generating leads for their opportunity within the first 30-90 days, they are more likely to remain in business with you. The end result is an increase in your bottom line and this is what you want to see. If you achieve success in your home business, this places you in the top 3%-5% of successful network marketers, which is awesome from my standpoint.

Can You Make Money In IDA Marketing Services?
Posted on 02. Dec, 2009 by admin.
IDA Marketing Services is a fairly new company. It launched in September 2008 and it currently operates out of 40 states. It uses the direct selling business model to market and distribute their primary product called, Collision Deductible Reserve Plan (CDRP).
IDA Marketing Services Opportunity:
What the IDA Marketing opportunity offers is a way to allow your customers to pay less on their auto insurance while earning a residual income.
To Join IDA Marketing Services, you have to enroll as an IDA Associate.
After you complete the enrollment process, all Associates need to complete the New Associate Orientation & Training Module. The purpose of the training is to provide all new Associates with a basic overview and understanding of IDA Marketing, its primary service, the Collision Deductible Reserve Plan (CDRP), and some other fundamentals regarding compliance requirements for business activities.
The training module covers the following:
- The Company & the Business Opportunity

1. Certified Associate which is the Fast Track Program costs $499.95.
The beneifts of this is the following:
- Reduced Qualification requirements to become eligible to receive Customer Acquisition Bonuses (CABs) allowing you to earn more income faster.
- Initial Training, and all futuer Associate training paid in advance
$9.95 Replicated website paid by the company for 36 months. - Free Associate Kit
2. Associate ($99.95) which includes:
- Associate Kit and initial training cost
- Access to your own replicated website for $9.95 monthly fee. The replicated website is paid by the company for the first 12 months. During the 13th month, you will be charged
IDA Marketing Services Compensation Plan:
First, to earn an income, you must first be “Personally Active”, which means that you must create 1 point per month or 3 points per quarter (Points may be carried forward for 60 days.)
Since there is not warehousing, shipping, or manufacturing payments, IDA can afford to pay out 80% to associates. This includes:
- CDRP sale commissions
- Enrollment commissions
- Bonus Pools
- Incentive Vacations
- Stock Options
- Check Overrides on Personal Enrollments
- Car Allowances
- Annuity for Life
How The CDRP Works:
The goal of CDRP is to help you set aside $1,000 into your CDRP account. To get started, you select one of the available contribution plans to help you set aside $1,000 in your CDRP account. IDA Marketing will electronically collect your contribution each month until $1,000 has been deposited into your CDRP account, at which point your CDRP is considered mature. Once your CRDP is mature, the IDA Marketing Services will no longer collect your contribution payment and the $25 or $50 that was being contributed to your CDRP account is back in your budget.
At this point, if you have a collision that requires you to pay a deductible, you simply retrieve the contributions from your CDRP account, pay your collision deductible, and the start the rebuilding process under your original contribution plan.
If you need to pay a collision deductible before your CDRP matures, you are eligible to receive an advance up to a maximum of $1,000, interest free.
All monthly advance repayments are in addition to any required plan contributions that still need to be made; however, you will not have to pay any interest or any fees on the repayment of any advance.
IDA Marketing Services Training:
Learning how to market your IDA Marketing business is essential to the success of your business. There are various strategies you can use to market your business. The key thing is to find a method or methods of marketing that work and not only work for you, but also will work for those who join you in your IDA Marketing opportunity. Failing in the network marketing industry is high and often the reasons fall into the category of lack of markting skills. If you discover that IDA Marketing Services does not offer marketing training or the training offered is not sufficient enough to generate success, you have the option to look somewhere else, but again, just be sure that whatever system or methods of marketing you select can be easily taught to others.
Building a business requires skill and knowledge about marketing and business, respectively. Thus, if you do not possess either of these, it is best to focus on learning and acquiring the skills and knowledge you need. Your business success is going to depend on this. But, in saying this, I want to add, that building a business is not a race, it is a marathon. So, don’t beat yourself up just because things are not happening as quickly as you’d like. Results will occur in their own time and when it does is usually when you are most prepared for it. Just stay focused and don’t give up.
IDA Marketing Services is a fairly new company. It launched in September 2008 and it currently operates out of 40 states. It uses the direct selling business model to market and distribute their primary product called, Collision Deductible Reserve Plan (CDRP).

The Wowgreen products are delivered in two types of containers, recyclable and reusable.

An independent distributor may qualify for the rank of Distributor, Manager, Supervisor, or Director when he or she signs up by purchasing the following items.

All of these prices exclude the shipping charges.
Anyone who purchases the Green Action Pack can also purchase some beginning inventory, which can be used for personal use, to sell to customers and trial products for group gatherings. This also holds true for anybody who purchases the Green Starter Pack, but in smaller quantities.
Wowgreen Preferred Customer: gets 20% savings. All that is necessary is to purchase a green your home pack for $75.00. As a preferred customer, you will continue to save 20% as you refill your product orders.

There is a rank advancement that you can qualify for and it is as follows: manager, supervisor, director, executive I, executive II, executive III, bronze ambassador, and gold ambassador.
Wowgreen Compensation Plan:
5 ways to earn compensation.
- Direct sales: anytime you sell a Wowgreen product to a non-preferred customer at the retail price, you earn the difference.
- First Order Enroller Bonus: Once you are qualified and based on your rank, you can earn a bonus of $25-$50 for anyone you enroll as a Wowgreen Independent Distributor who also purchases the Green Starter Pack or a Green Action Pack. This is paid weekly.

- Rank Advancement: Qualify for monthly car allowances, trips, and cruises by advancing and maintaining your rank in the Wowgreen organization.
Wowgreen Trainings:
Wowgreen does offer trainings through conference calls, events and educational events. They do offer a special training, called Commercial Training Program. This is a training for fully active independent distributors and it costs $250.00 which does not include flights and hotel fees. The training is held in Detroit. This if for individuals who are intending to market and have the Wowgreen products in commercial stores; like a Walmart or something similar.
I did see on some of the Wowgreen information web sites mentions of Social networking sites, blogs, and even pay-per-click but much of the information centered around the policies of marketing Wowgreen online. This is unfortunate for many new Wowgreen Independent distributors because the number one reason most people fail in network marketing and mlm is because many of them do not possess the proper marketing skills. Marketing skills are crucial to one’s business success. If you are not going to get the proper training from your business opportunity, then where do you go to learn how to market.
Well, there are many resources a Wowgreen Independent distributor can turn to in order to acquire marketing skills. I believe most of the trainings product by Wowgreen centers around products information and marketing to friends and family, which is great for those who already have skills in sales. But, most of the Wowgreen recruits won’t so as a Wowgreen distributor you do have some options. Either learn the offline marketing methods taught by Wowgreen and practice them until you start getting results or you might want to consider using an online marketing resource to teach you how to market your business online.
If you want to market your Wowgreen products and opportunity using the internet, an online marketing system will give you the tools and trainings you need to market. You will learn how to use Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, press releases, articles, videos, pay-per-click, and more through videos. The videos will give you a step-by-step instructions on each of the marketing methods taught and you can select which methods you want to use to market your business. In addition, most online marketing systems provide what is called a funded proposal system, which is a system that gives you the ability to generate an income even if a prospect says no to your opportunity. In fact, it does not matter whether you use online of offline marketing, about 97% of your prospects will say no to your Wowgreen opportunity, but with a marketing system, you will learn how to monetize them.
Conclusion:
I believe that what Wowgreen International, LLC offers is a great business opportunity. The company seems to have just about everything in place. Great leadership, products, business model, compensation plan, and more. The only thing missing is the training, which is so very important to the success of your business. If you decide to become a Wowgreen Independent Distributor and you have little to no marketing skills, you next step should be to write down a marketing plan and it should start with how you want to market your business; either offline, online or both.

Review Of Nikken Business
Posted on 25. Nov, 2009 by admin.
General Information:
Nikken is a network marketing company that is focused on the health and wellness industry. Often, when the subject of the Nikken business opportunity comes of, someone will mention the 5 pillars of Health. What this is referring to are: Healthy Body, Mind, Family, Society, and Finances.
Isamu Masuda is the founder of Nikken. His vision started with helping people who suffered from sore feet, and the fatigue that extends to the entire body. After a series of events, evolved the first Nikken product called Magstep.
After Magsteps, which was created in 1975, other products followed in 1978 by KenkoCreator, and in 1979 by the original KenkoPad, which led to the introduction of Kenko Sleep technology.
In 1989, Nikken opened its first North American offices. The Nikken business opportunity has been around for 30 years now and is celebrating 20 yeads in the United States.
Nikken Business Opportunity:
There are 3 ways to become a participant of Nikken. You can become a customer, a member, or a independent nikken consultant.
Customer: place an order to purchase one of the Nikken products through an Independent Nikken consultant. Once you have a Nikken account, you can place an order by yourself any time or contact your consultant for assistance.
Member: As a member of Nikken, you receive discounts on all product orders. You als get access to a monthly newsletter and your own account on the member web site.
Independent Nikken Consultant: You must first signup through a Nikken consultant, then submit an online form. Once you are approved, your next step is to decide how you want to start your business. You have four options.

- All of what consultant benefits and everything in the Starter pack), plus more products and tools.
4. Consultant with Professional Pack: cost $2790.00
- All of above (Consultant benefits and everything in the Builder Pack) plus
Basically, Nikken’s business philosophy is as follows. First you invest in your own business by using the Nikken products. See how they work; how they improve your health and your family’s health. Next you:
1 Share your product story with others.
2. If your prospects like what they hear, they get their own Nikken products through you.
3. Nikken distributes the products that are ordered to your new customer/consultant.
4. Nikken pays you according to the number of referrals you have made.
5. Then your new person duplicates you.
Nikken Products:
Some of the Nikken products include the following:
Advanced magnetic technology:
Elastomag wraps, functional jewlery, Kenko magnetic pads, kenko powerpatch, kenkoseat plus, magboy, magcreator, kidstrides, magsteps, magstrides, nikken magna-charger, selected kenko sleep system products.
There are also products that include negative ion technologoy, kenko sleep technology, magnetic biaxial rotation, RAM technology, far-infrared technology, aire wellness technology, PiMag Water technology, CarioStrides technology, Kenzen wellness organic-based nutrition, and true elements swiss organic skin care.
Nikken Compensation Plan:
There are six ways to make money in Nikken.
1. Retail profits
2. Wholesale profits
3. Residual Income
4. Tax Deductions/Benefits
5. Performance & Leadership bonuses
6. Incentive Programs that pay your car and your home.
There are a number of levels in the Nikken home business. Starting from lowest to highest is direct, senior, executive, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond, and royal diamond.
The Nikken compensation plan consists of a stairstep breakaway compensation plan, which can be very confusing to explain to a new distributor. One aspect of such a comp plan as this is that once a distributor achieves a certain level, they then breakaway from their personal sponsor. At this point, the sponsor will receive a small percentage of what the new distributor’s group is selling. What this means is that if you choose to become a Nikken independent consultant, it will be necessary to recruit on a continuous basis or face having your checks decrease each month.
Nikken Training:
Nikken does offer training to its consultants. There is available online training through their Nikken University. You will learn how to use various online tools; such as live web camera to host your own web meetings.
They also provide conference calls that will teach you how to recruit and retail .
They also have business trainings that can be downloaded onto your mp3 player as well as in pdf formats. Here you will learn how to approach new people, how to invite them to partner with you, and how to conduct effective one-on-one meetings, and much more.
They have training coaches and events that provide additional trainings for those who are interested.
Conclusion:
Overall, I think that Nikken business model is one that can generate a lucrative business to anyone who is seriously interested in building a successful business. It will take work, as any business does, but much of the marketing that is taught is primarily offline.
It is the Nikken training that I don’t agree with because, again, many people will not want to or acquire skills in offline marketing. Of those that do, many of them will not have the aptitude to learn the offline marketing. This is not to say they are stupid by no means. It is just that offline marketing is not for everyone. Why not give your members more choices as to how they want to do their marketing. There are many ways one can use the internet to market their Nikken business. Nikken does have online training, but unfortunately, they do not teach online marketing. Instead their online training teaches you how to use offline marketing and it teaches you how to connect with those using a tool to hold meetings with individuals you connected with using primarily offline marketing.
Why not use the online training to teach online marketing. Teach new Nikken consultants how to use press releases, articles, videos, social networking sites and more. These are effective marketing methods that can be used to market Nikken. For those interested, look for online marketing resources that will teach you skills in applying online marketing strategies. There are many to choose from. In addition, most of these online training resources utilize what is often referred to as a funded proposal system. A funded proposal system is a way that you get paid by the various affiliate programs provided, even if no one joins your opportunity, you still can make money. The truth is, 97% of the people you share your products and opportunity with will say no; no matter what kind of marketing you engage in; offline or online, so why not learn how to monetize those who say no to your opportunity. Overall, this will help you with your bottom line because if your business partners are making money and generating prospects to share their products and opportunity with, this means they are more likely to stay in business with you.

CarbonCopyPro Revealed
Posted on 21. Nov, 2009 by admin.
Jay Kubassek:
CarbonCopyPro is an automated marketing system that was developed by Jay Kubbasek with the help of his friend Mike Dillard.
The company is the marketing arm for a direct sales company called Wealth Masters International, which is a financial education company.
Jay Kubassek designed the system to apply attraction marketing methodology to its online marketing strategies in lead generation. The various product line offered by Wealth Masters International are primarily sold on the internet.
Jay Kubassek spent $50,000 to build the Carbon Copy Pro marketing system. This marketing system has the potential of creating a very lucrative income.
Some additional, interesting information about Jay Kubassek that many people are not aware of. Jay currently lives in New York City. His first business venture was to care for an approximately five million dollar family farm in Canada. He is also an independent film producer, owner of six companies, a professional speaker and trainer, and an international real estate investor/developer.
What Is CarbonCopyPro (also known as Carbon Copy Pro)?
The company is now worth about $20 million dollars and has a customer base in over 160 countries.
Essentially it is a marketing system that promotes top-tier products for Wealth Masters International. The fact that it offers a top-tier program is important because it offers a greater potential for an individual to build a substantial income in the network marketing arena as opposed to a traditional mlm compensation plan.
What makes building a traditional mlm is (1) the rising costs of sponsoring a new recruit and (2) the high attrition rate. When the average new member of your team lasts only three months, it makes it difficult to build a reliable, residual income.
But, when commissions are paid “up front” as in a direct sales company, this has much less of an impact on one’s bottom line.
How Does CarbonCopyPro Work?
Carbon Copy Pro is an automated, turnkey marketing system. It sorts, qualifies and closes your prospects for you.
How it works is, you use marketing strategies taught to you by CarbonCopyPro, to send visitors to your website. Once a lead is generated, you are sent an email letting you know that you have a new lead in your system.
All of your leads are placed into your autoresponder, which begins to immediately send newsletters, which are created by CarbonCopyPro, to the lead. This allows you to build a relationship with that lead in hopes that at some point the individual will submit an application.
There is an application fee required in the amount of $49.00. Once this payment is submitted, that lead will be given access to your personalized business overview page. They are also mailed a copy of the INSIDEOUT DVD and workbook created by Jay Kubassek and Mike Dillard.
Note: Members are paid $30.00 commission for any applications submitted.
Another thing that happens after submitting the application is that lead is called twice by experienced professional who are capable of answering any questions by the lead. That lead is also invited to a live call that will explain to them how the overall Carbon Copy Pro system works.
If any of the leads make a decision to join, you are paid through an automatic payment processor that you setup with the Carbon Copy Pro system.
Since the CarbonCopyPro is a marketing system it filters out the “tire kickers” and provides cash flow to offset any advertising costs.
Training Provided to CarbonCopyPro Members:
One of the issues that many online entrepreneurs face is driving targeted traffic to their websites. Members of CarbonCopyPro are provided a large selection of PDF documents, videos, and audio files that cover just about every aspect of online marketing strategies.
These marketing strategies are researched, tested, and reported on by users of the system. Members of CarbonCopyPro are informed of the results, thus providing a higher potential for marketing success.
Further trainings come from webinars, live conference calls and member forums.
But, it is still the responsibility of the member to learn the marketing skills, put them into action and generate the leads.
What You Get With The CarbonCopyPro System:
- High converting lead capture pages.
- Well written newsletters to be placed in autoresponder
- Professional support team follows up with your leads.
- Access to a complete system that takes your leads through to making a purchase.
- Allows member to focus on what is most important, which is lead generation
- Training and support
The Products CarbonCopyPro System Promotes:
If one decides to market the various products from Wealth Masters International, a decision must first choose one of three levels fo membership:
- M1 = Masters Program: cost is $1,995.00
- M2 = Wealth Conference: cost is $8,495.00 or combination of M1 & M2 packages: cost is $8,995.00.
- M3 = Lifestyle Experience: cost is $19,995.
The entrepreneur can join WMI team for a minimum of $2,381 or at a maximum of $20,000. These prices do not cover marketing expenses. Basically, there is an understanding the Carbon Copy Pro and Wealth Masters International only want serious, business minded people to join in an effort to increase retention of sponsored individuals.
As a member of CarbonCopyPro, you do have a choice to just use the marketing system to market your home business and to generate income from the funded proposal system. To become a member of Wealth Masters International is up to the individual, it is not mandatory.
The Pros and Cons Of CarbonCopyPro Marketing System:
The benefit of becoming a member of CarbonCopyPro and Wealth Masters International is you can earn sales checks in the amount of $1,000 – $10,000 per sale.
The flaw is the possibility of branding Jay Kubassek and his system. As a member, one can avoid this by branding themselves and not Jay Kubassek. This is the ultimate goal of an online marketing system and the key to financial independent on the internet.
Conclusion:
Regardless of what system or home business opportunity you join, even with a marketing system like Carbon Copy Pro, your success is going to be determined by you, your efforts and your willing to stick to it, no matter the difficulty the road ahead. As an entrepreneur, we are on the road less traveled and this often means encountering situations we don’t like to find ourselves, but as an entrepreneur, we must also become problem solvers. In the end, once you have acquired the skills and knowledge about business, success in any business is just around the corner. You just have to have faith in your abilities and in you.

To become a World Financial Group associate, you must be recruited by another member of WFG. lt costs $100 to join as an WFG associate. lf you want to become to enroll in the Professional Development Center (PDC), it will cost an additional $199.00, but you can decline to do so.

All representatives who seek affiliation with IAI must apply for the state where you live and where the branch is located, that is if the branch is different from the state. Again there is a fee and the fees vary depending on your state. The fee can vary between $8.00-$235.00. The $235.00 is for Texas, not sure why.
Once you are approved in your state, you are eligible to conduct IAI (Investment Advisor Representative ) business in every state except DC, NC, NJ, and TX. As an IAI, you are federally registered, but there is a separate registration required for new branch offices. Fees vary again. For further information on the this and more, visit: (www.bizanalyst.net/TaxPros-WFG/Presentations/IAI_Series65_FastTrack.pdf)
WFG has a step-by-step blueprint that was developed to help associates build and grow their WFG business. The WFG Business Format System shows you how:
- To build a strong WFG business

and much more…
WFG helps guide an agent through the process of building a sales organization:
- Broker-Dealer Services: is a WFG affiliate broker-dealer who offers customers a variety of securities-related products and services.
- Active Money Management: is an investment advisor representative (IAR) with WFG’s affiliate, investment Advisors international. You are a fee-based, independent advisor who spends time working with your new and existing customers.

WFG Training & Support:

Below are some of the trainings offered:
WFG University : source for various trainings. The website for WFG University includes tools, products, and speech archives that will help. Some of the kinds of types of trainings offered are:

WFG Convention of Champions: WFG’s biggest annual event. It last 4 days and includes training sessions and business building workshops, designed for both the associates and established financial services professional alike.
Conclusion:
Based on my initial vies of World Financial Group (WFG), I say it looks to be legitimate, but I will add that it is always important that you do your due diligence prior to joining any company. I did see some information regarding scams and suits against WFG. Often these kinds of issues stem from disgruntled former members, so don’t take to heart everything you see. First be sure the negative statements made against any company are true.
Next, although I do agree that WFG has a lot to offer, it will require payments of fees for registrations of various trainings and licenses. lf this is what you want, then it will be necessary that you attain the education and licenses so that your business is legitimate. lf you have any questions about the process of getting the education and licenses, call support or contact your Manager.
Lastly, the information I looked through did not mention how to go about finding customers for your WFG business. Based on how most MLM’s and network marketing, I assume that this is going to require you to know how to connect with people, family and friends, etc. lf you don’t have a problem with this, then by all means, use the tools and whatever trainings given by WFG, and get to work. But, if you want an alternative method and do mind using the internet to build your
business, look for a online marketing or training system that offers the following:
- Training via webinars and videos.
- Includes a funded proposal system or a sales funnel so that you can earn an income while building your business.
- Teaches you how to grow you list of leads, build relationships with those leads, and market to those leads = Attraction Marketing principles
Even if you are good at making sales, since WFG is a MLM, this means your success is going to be mostly based on those who join you. lt would be to your advantage to provide some flexibility to how you go about marketing. Not everyone who joins you will want to do a lot of “belly-to-belly” type marketing. ln the end, having such a marketing system available will help you with your bottom line and thus, achieve the success you are looking for in your business.

There are marketing systems that can train you on how to use the internet to build your business.
Marketing systems also provide a sales funnel which allows you to generate an income while you are building your business. This way, you don’t have to stay broke. Even if you are doing well with the using the offline marketing, keep in mind that your success is going to be based on the success of others in your organization. By providing more than one option to use for marketing, you are giving others the ability to select what they feel most comfortable with in building their business. No one should have to be forced to doing something they don’t like because more than likely, he or she will fail. By providing more options, you could in the long run, but helping your overall bottom line and this is essentially what having an ignite business is all about.
