True Wealth at Home promotes to different product lines. One is the CEMProspector software, which is for contact management and their monthly fees to use to is between $24.95 a month and $99.95 a month depending on options. I wouldn’t buy it to get the free leads in the more expensive package however. Good leads cost typically $5 each and there’s no mention of who they are or how old, and it looks like a ploy to get you paying the $99.95 a month for using the software suite.
As far as value goes, they offer the usual stuff like contact manager and calendar, but you can buy Act! which was formerly made by Symantec for around $240 one time and you’re not forced into having all your contacts into something with a stiff monthly fee.
If you sign up with them or other truewealthathome.com affiliates, you’ll find yourself at a reseller business for USANA health care products. These are high end vitamins, and by that I mean $124 for a bottle of 100 multivitamins you can buy in the store for $9 typically. They have high end packaging and lots of sales copy that would baffle a nutritionalist.
There’s also a personal volume so you’ll be a customer for the high end products, buying lots of them each month to be a reseller.
The truth is, USANA has a reseller program of their own, so you don’t need to go through another layer by doing it with truewealthathome.com Just contact them direct and the comissions are sure to be better since you cut out the middleman.
Something you should be aware of, in a bad economy it’s hard to sell a $41 bottle of skin cream or a $9 bottle of toothpaste. Back during the dotcom boom poeple were throwing money at everything because they had it.
Now with gas prices and the fallout of the cost of everything else, they are buying them in the grociery store. It’s possible to sell high end products, but it’s going to be much more difficult than you might imagine.
If you go to their site, their income statements show that in 2006, their average associate made $658.56 that year, and likely spent a lot more than buying the products to meet the buying requirements to keep them in the program. A lot of places use a binary comp plan and personal volume, but I’m not a fan of heavy requirements for things with expiration dates like their products carry.
I like consumable products, just not ones priced this high. The market is too narrow both now and for the next few years at least to be worth doing. My overall opinion is True Wealth at Home is doing what’s good for them, but comparable software is available for a flat price and not a monthly fee. Also you can just go to USANA direct at usana.com if you want to sell their stuff. Just be prepared to buy a lot of it yourself.
