I just believe that you need to get the best of what a real review is like. Especially when it comes to considering an opportunity like Fortune High Tech Marketing. You must remember that your financial future is all too important to throw away. Get equipped with the right information about the whole truth about this company.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;1) Starting At The Beginning&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It all started with Paul Orberson. If you think this is a typical rags to riches story, it really isn&#39;t. I can see that you could relate to Paul if you have been in a corporate job before and dreamed of early retirement on certain days.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Paul hails from Kentucky and used to work as a high school teacher.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 1990, he entered the network marketing industry as a representative and helped build it to a successful one. He felt challenged during his &quot;retirement at 40&quot; and yearned to actually do something of value. After contacting a few friends with some research, Fortune High Tech Marketing was born.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;2) Products Versus Compensation&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The products that Fortune High Tech Marketing currently include ranges from weight management products, Internet, long distance, satellite TV, health and beauty products, wireless phones and so on. This means you get a wide spectrum of choices though I felt that it makes it hard for you to really focus on one niche.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your compensation plan can be described as a residual income stream. How does it work? You need to sign up 3 customers and then earn from their efforts to recruit others. This consists of a 2% commission earning from your &quot;downlines&quot; FHTM product usage. If you sell its true essentials products you gain 20% from the total sales volume.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;3) Beyond Financial Freedom&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even though the opportunity with Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing looks attractive to you there are a few things to consider. Such as the &quot;Stair Step Breakaway Plan&quot; employed by the compensation system. When people in your organization starts performing as well as you, they &quot;breakaway&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Leaving you the only option which is to recruit more people or &quot;new recruits&quot; to fill in their place. You need to do this so that you can maintain your monthly checks. Its cruel yes but its this kind of work you will need to consider.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The best option for you could be to pursue the art of marketing online. Choices to learn are practically limitless and you will be swamped with many paths to choose. Your sure path to success lies in you investing in a good marketing system for yourself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;sig&quot; class=&quot;sig&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;About The Author:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;This article is the property of&lt;/i&gt; &lt;a id=&quot;link_89&quot; target=&quot;_new&quot; href=&quot;http://www.simple-riches.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.Simple-Riches.com&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;i&gt;you may freely publish it on a website as long as it is not modified in any way.

It has operated 100% debt free since the day it opened eight years ago, and continues to remain debt free. What makes it stand head and shoulders over every competitor is its approach to network marketing itself. Introducing FHTM - Fortune High Tech Marketing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Everything you think you know about network marketing goes right out the door when you take a closer look at this enterprise. It involves a total new way of attracting customers, as well as being a company that shares its vast revenue with its representatives. It does so in such a way that their compensation plan is unmatched.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Founded eight years ago by a Christian gentleman, Paul Orberson, it quickly amassed a following of multibillion-dollar corporate giants. Its developer started first with a company named Excel and made over a million dollars a month for over two years straight. Lightning does strike in the same place twice!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And now, how is his success with Fortune possible? It is simple; his vision gave him the insight to realize that there must be a better way for mega-corporations to attract, find and keep loyal customers than spending millions upon millions of dollars in up-front advertising costs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He found the way - reverse advertising via relationship marketing (aka) word of mouth! This idea turned out to be a grand slam home run, because many multibillion-dollar establishments were losing millions of dollars every year due to using advertising, which proved ineffective in bringing in new loyal customers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Three years after making millions upon millions and garnering the great favor of these billion dollar companies, he decided to give back to the very industry that had helped make him so successful. He wanted to show others how to become their very own business owners leveraging their time as home based representatives. What made him so cutting edge and high tech was the fact that these huge industries did not have to pay millions of dollars in advertising costs, before they acquired the first new customer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He brought the customers to them, and they did not pay him a cent, until they had the account. Once he had proved to these giants like Sprint, Dish TV, Verizon, AT&amp;amp;T, ALLTEL and many others this way of marketing was the wave of the future, it did not take others long to come around. Now he is partnered with 98% of all phone service providers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That is barely scratching the surface of his expansive growth. Just about every huge, highly recognized, top name brand industry giant such as Target, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, and over 800 other huge brand name marketers have partnership with FHTM.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The mass population is already using many, many of the products and services provided by businesses who are partnered with FHTM. This is where the opportunity becomes exciting. With the mass of the populace already sold on the quality of these products and services, when you become FHTM&#39;s partner and rep, you get to reap a percentage of the bills being paid every month, not just from those you bring in, but also from those brought in by those who they bring aboard.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This may sound way too good to be true, but what have you got to lose by simply giving it a look for yourself? This business has totally changed the lives of many, giving them their lives back, making their time their own, not having to work for another boss. Their reps gain all of this without the headaches of inventory or accounting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;sig&quot; class=&quot;sig&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stephen Monday is a professional copywriter and web copy specialist, whose copywriting site can be found at &lt;a id=&quot;link_93&quot; target=&quot;_new&quot; href=&quot;http://www.aaawebcopyservices.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.AAAWebcopyservices.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Article Source: &lt;a id=&quot;link_94&quot; href=&quot;http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Stephen_Monday&quot;&gt;http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Stephen_Monday&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fortunehitechmarketinginfo.blogspot.com/feeds/8112208796578997892/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://fortunehitechmarketinginfo.blogspot.com/2009/09/fhtm-successful-home-business.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3388346264728376250/posts/default/8112208796578997892'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3388346264728376250/posts/default/8112208796578997892'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fortunehitechmarketinginfo.blogspot.com/2009/09/fhtm-successful-home-business.html' title='FHTM, a Successful Home Business Opportunity'/><author><name>Beth Parker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09528364746515228012</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD2gv6VIcmpwVDqyrNczjMd63ILx_nH6_ubMX-z0azxKYmKahPQLETK1IDH7VuVsfRnkizgIOIXRb3QE-XoJfJsVtvk4TQP4dM6fGK9O8ljOgpsbZOHox4z66yzzDrIQ/s220/Bethanny3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388346264728376250.post-7268037064734798559</id><published>2009-09-25T00:15:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-09-25T00:17:41.716-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Is FHTM a Scam?"/><title type='text'>FHTM - Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing - Good Opportunity Or Just Another Con?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class=&quot;copyright&quot;&gt;By &lt;a id=&quot;link_55&quot; href=&quot;http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Mark_Pepper&quot; onmouseover=&quot;javascript:toggle_visibility(&#39;extendbio&#39;)&quot; onmouseout=&quot;javascript:toggle_visibility(&#39;extendbio&#39;)&quot;&gt;Mark Pepper&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;body&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;FHTM - Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing: Has all the smells and bells of a great opportunity. It combines a multitude of products and services that people use everyday. The FHTM compensation plan has the potential for good return on investment. Founded in 2001 by Paul Orberson, the company is located in Lexington, Kentucky. They have a experienced and qualified management team backing the company. Plus they&#39;re 100% debt free and financially solid.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PROS:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. FHTM has the potential to be a good vehicle by which a person can create a beneficial return on his or her efforts. The compensation plan is easy to follow, manuals and training material is straight forward and easy to understand.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. FHTM University is easy to navigate, user friendly but primarily focuses on product and services offered thru their portal. One can download applications, buy DVD&#39;s, flip charts, forms, pay their renewal fees &amp;amp; upgrades. Reps can do extensive research on all the main providers in the telecom, health&amp;amp;wellness, entertainment, travel and beauty solutions offered by FHTM.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The university is also a great way to stay connected with what&#39;s happening in FHTM, thru conference calls, meetings and announcements of upcoming events / postings. Weekly updates keep you informed of any changes in the current promotions of products, services. &quot; How To&quot; guides assist the reps when signing up new customers and the procedures to handle any issue should they arise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. FHTM Training Manuals:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Overview of FHTM, history, founder and the leadership team.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Products &amp;amp; services, top 10 providers in detail for establishing your customer usage points.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Company overview, complete top to bottom coverage of Compensation Plan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Training information, basic instruction on showing DVD presentations&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Forms &amp;amp; worksheets, &quot;How to Guides&quot; filling out forms, setting goals and quick start&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;business plan&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;CONS:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. FHTM Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing still uses a &quot;Warm&quot; market approach of family and friends as your single method for growing your FHTM business. This accounts for some of the highest representative turn over rates in MLM history. Yet it is still strictly enforced in all the training material, DVD&#39;s, presentations and conference calls. They continue to simplify their approach instead of helping their representatives learn how to effectively grow their business. So if you&#39;re in FHTM for the long haul using this marketing model, then be prepared for endless hours of frustration with little or no progress to show for all your effort.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In conclusion FHTM Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing is a great vehicle by which one can accomplish great things for their family and others. They&#39;re a solid company with a sound compensation plan and have established themselves for the long haul in the Home Based Business Industry. However if the &quot;Warm Market&quot; approach is not working for you, you need to find a more effective ways to grow your FHTM Business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;sig&quot; class=&quot;sig&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you have any questions about the material covered please contact me @ (928) 239-5070&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mark H.

Webster&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;body&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many network marketing companies today have switched their sales focus. You may have found this with FHTM. 18 months ago leading with the product was the only way to go and you were encouraged to extol the wonderful benefits of the product.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, since the global recession hit the hip pocket of the average consumer people are reluctant to spend, no matter how great the product. So, network marketing companies have had to look at other ways to entice people into their companies. What better way than to offer the business opportunity?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today, most people are losing jobs or looking for extra income just to keep afloat. Network marketing companies, like FHTM, are in the perfect position to offer a business opportunity. But does it really work?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The big push in network marketing has always been how easy it is to make loads of money. Unfortunately, the sad truth is that less than 5% of all network marketers actually make any money. That isn&#39;t good for plugging a business opportunity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If we look at it realistically FHTM, or any network marketing company for that matter, is a distribution channel and you as the rep becomes the distributor. You are the marketing arm of the company and are responsible for moving product. Just like many retail stores only you don&#39;t have the overheads.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you&#39;re the marketing arm for FHTM then you need to be concerned, first of all, with product consumption. It makes sense to have as many people as possible consuming FHTM products every day, week or month. If more people consume your product then you&#39;ll do better financially and from an ethical and moral standpoint you&#39;re not offering them the world, like lotto does.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you really want to build a long term residual income and retain your clients this is the best way to build your FHTM business. If you&#39;ve enjoyed the benefits of the FHTM products and services then share that belief and passion with others. People respond to a product&#39;s value and benefit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are several benefits to you when it comes to leading with the product and not the opportunity, but ultimately it boils down to 2 biggies...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Retention Rate: When people join you because of the merits of the product, do you think they&#39;ll stick around for a while? Yes, definitely. They fell in love with the product - good opportunities to create wealth are a dime a dozen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Look at many network marketing leaders - the ones that stay around create wealth time and time again, regardless of the product or service they&#39;re marketing. They have the marketing ability and savvy to create wealth with whatever they choose to market.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. There is always a better paying gig out there. No one company has the monopoly on the best paying opportunity out there - if you do some research you will always find something that will pay more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you bring prospects into your business based upon greed, what do you think will happen when the next latest and greatest opportunity appears? They&#39;re gone, quick as a flash. For them it was only about how much money they could make and how quickly. They were never attached to the product from the word go.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;sig&quot; class=&quot;sig&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you would like to know how to better market your products and services and to master tools and techniques that will help you improve the growth of your business go to... &lt;a id=&quot;link_93&quot; target=&quot;_new&quot; href=&quot;http://www.createbigchecks.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.createbigchecks.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ruth Webster is a successful network marketer and Business Growth Specialist who, with her husband, Richard, helps others to transform their struggling home-based businesses into wealth creating enterprises.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ruth &amp;amp; Richard have successful businesses in health &amp;amp; wellness and in home business marketing training and coaching.

Companies love teaching you this. Why? If they have 100, 000 associates and everyone builds a &#39;list&#39; the company is growing! But what does this do for your FHTM business? OK...maybe you added one or 2 associates and got yourself a whopping check for $3.99. However, this method, mathematically speaking, is terribly inefficient.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even though you are told at meetings that you can make six figures from home by asking friends and family to join you, it just doesn&#39;t work for the majority of FHTM associates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This marketing concept has been around since the early 1940&#39;s and back then with the culture of the day it worked well. But with technology this game has changed. In a big big way. Now it&#39;s really a game of efficiencies and how many prospects can you have every day that are approaching you. Not the other way around.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Marketing is a numbers game and if you are going to succeed in your FHTM business you will need to learn how to make good use of today&#39;s technology and the tools available to the network marketer who wants to succeed. To make six figures in network marketing we need to be adding 20-30 people a week into our business. This is just not going to happen with your warm market. The average person only knows about 200-500 people whereas if you look at the cold market there is close to half a billion people on the end of the internet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When we started in our network marketing company we jumped into everything that our company suggested - making lists, telling family and friends and, yes, we got some results but it soon vaporized and it wasn&#39;t long before we were lucky to enroll only one person a month onto the products, and trying to get people into the business opportunity was even harder.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So we did some research and training and learned how to market well using 3 of the most effective means to reach prospects - the phone, the internet and the written word.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you want to be adding 20-30 people a week into your FHTM business you need to incorporate all 3 in your marketing plan. The phone is the quickest way to speak to a lot of people every day - forget traveling hundreds of miles a day holding meetings. The internet not only positions you in the field but creates countless positioned leads that will be chasing you for information. You won&#39;t have to be hounding people who aren&#39;t interested in FHTM anyway. The written word is the most effective way to relate to your prospects.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By mastering each of these tools there&#39;s absolutely nothing stopping you from creating a six figure income from FHTM inside of 12 months.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;sig&quot; class=&quot;sig&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you&#39;re sick of chasing your warm market and want to learn more about how to use these 3 great marketing tools go to... &lt;a id=&quot;link_89&quot; target=&quot;_new&quot; href=&quot;http://www.createbigchecks.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.createbigchecks.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ruth Webster is a successful network marketer and Business Growth Specialist who, with her husband, Richard, helps others to transform their struggling home-based businesses into wealth creating enterprises.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ruth &amp;amp; Richard have successful businesses in health &amp;amp; wellness and in home business marketing training and coaching.

This name was chosen at the inception of the company in the year of 2001 which was founded by Paul Orberson. The words &quot;Hi-Tech&quot; were originally chosen because the company previously only marketed technology based products such as cell phone service, internet, satellite, cable, etc. Over the years FHTM business has added many other different product to it&#39;s line which deal with health and wellness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What makes FHTM business unique is the fact that they don&#39;t manufacture any of their own products which is the case of the majority of other network marketing companies. They use a concept of partnering with many different companies without needing to spend half a million dollars that you would typically spend. They charge a fee of only $299 and you earn commission when others are enrolled in your downline. FHTM is unique because in most cases it&#39;s better to lead with the opportunity which is usually not a recommended method of marketing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the majority of other network marketing companies where they manufacture the products, you must lead with product benefits because commission checks are paid based on product consumption. With  FHTM business you have the advantage of people already being familiar with the products you&#39;re marketing. The benefit that consumers receive by consuming them through you is they can now get paid to use those same products. The only downside is that they must pay a large one time fee in order to qualify for those commissions which many everyday people can&#39;t afford.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;FHTM business has taken the time to select the highest quality products and services and reasonable prices. Many of the products cannot be found in retail stores. In order to grow your downline you must think like a marketer instead of a salesman. This requires using techniques which maximize your time and minimize your efforts. Salesmen work hard and marketers work smart. More specifically, marketers use techniques that allow them to speak to as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time and spend less time convincing those who are not interested.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In order to use this technique to grow your FHTM business you must use techniques which are easy, economical and easily trainable to everyone in your downline. Such techniques include buying response buyer leads, writing articles, social media, press releases and pay-per-click marketing just to name a few. You should not waste time making lists of your friends and family and passing out business cards to grow your FHTM business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You should also have your own presentation accompanied by a prospecting and closing script. Scripts ensure that your campaign stays consistent and the information gets carried across to everyone in the shortest amount of time and presentation calls allow you to hold presentations to hundreds of people without leaving your home.

I have been hearing some rumours about it and decided to find out more about this business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Company&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They were founded in 2001 by Paul Orberson, a very experienced and successful online entrepreneur. Some years ago he decided to retire but his passion for the industry made him create his own network marketing business so that he could share his success with other people, by offering them a home based business opportunity. He cares for people and wants to help folks become financially secure. Let&#39;s have a look at what he has to offer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Products&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FHTM Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing&#39;s product line offers you a variety of products.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Wireless Phones&lt;br /&gt;2. Phone Plans&lt;br /&gt;3. Long Distance Calling Services&lt;br /&gt;4. Satellite TV&lt;br /&gt;5. Weight Management&lt;br /&gt;6. Health and Beauty&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Compensation Plan&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For $299 you are a member and you can get started with FHTM Fortune High-tech Marketing. It is your goal to find new recruits and start building your downline. The pay out commissions ranging from between 2-20 percent, based on the volume of products sold by you and your team. The compensation plan looks good, although one thing caught my eye.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The plan uses a &#39;Stair-Step-Break-Away&#39; method. What does this mean? Well, once one of your members reach a certain level, they &#39;Break-Away&#39;. This team member has now become your immediate competition. It is my personal opinion that the compensation plan does not encourage sponsors to coach and mentor their team members, so that they too become successful.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Now?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FHTM Hi-Tech Fortune Marketing is a legitimate business with good, solid, marketable products. If you can find yourself in the products and the compensation plan then this is your thing. Whatever company you choose to be with, there is one vital most important thing. Ensure that the company you join offers very powerful Marketing Trainings on a daily basis, that teaches you all the strategies and techniques you need to master so that you become an online Guru.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;sig&quot; class=&quot;sig&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mike Heesen is an internet marketer who works with industry leaders from around the world.

They don&#39;t manufacture any of their own products but have created partnerships with other manufacturers. When people enroll as distributors, its similar purchasing a franchise without needing to pay large amounts of dollars to do so. Many distributors struggle to grow their business and in this article we&#39;ll discuss how to enroll 3 reps a day into your FHTM business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As discussed in the previous articles where I talked about FHTM you should not use traditional techniques such as making a list of your friends and family and passing out business cards. You shouldn&#39;t be doing 3 way calls to your upline or doing in home presentations. These techniques do work for growing a FHTM businesss, however they are painfully slow and require a lot of work. You should use techniques which put time in your favor and allow you to generate enrollments on a massive scale. You should also have an efficient training system in place for training your downline as your FHTM business starts to grow.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When enrolling 3 reps a day into your FHTM business your downline will grow very quickly and since you&#39;ll be leading with product quality and not opportunity your new enrollees will not quit after a short period of time. As your new enrollees start enrolling your downline could easily reach thousands of people after only a few months. With this kind of growth it&#39;s impossible to train people on a one on one basis. It&#39;s highly recommended you schedule weekly training sessions and using a conference call line to do so.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;FHTM business gives you the opportunity to market a variety of product niches. In order to be an effective marketer you should just find the niche you can be most passionate about. This makes your expertise more effective and gives you the opportunity to really help someone with their problems. In order to be successful in your FHTM business you must have real knowledge surrounding the benefits of your products and services because people love to buy from experts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Using scripts is critical to growing your business. You want to save as much time as possible and always make sure all information is scheduled. Nothing should be done spontaneously and everything should be planned out.

You can become an FHTM business owner no matter what kind of background you have in online selling - which, the website claims, is a great way to earn a living. After a search on their website you will discover that the program is $249 for all new sales representatives. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is Fortune Hi Tech Marketing A Scam?  &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This money-making system is based on the principles of a multi level marketing plan, which is also known by the abbreviation MLM.  You have probably heard of these kinds of programs before, as they&#39;ve been widely criticised for the fact that they have simply become pyramid schemes. This means that the people at the top will benefit from the profits, where the people at the bottom simply pay money and never see it back.  But it&#39;s important to remember that not all MLM programs are pyramid schemes! Pyramid schemes are illegal in the US, whereas MLM schemes are not all illegal.  The Federal Trade Commission helps you to distinguish the legal programs from the illegal ones by stating that legal products must have a number one aim of selling products, rather than just recruiting new members.  Since Fortune Hi Tech Marketing provides a number of different products, they are a legal version of an MLM program. This means that FHTM comes with the potential of profits, though it&#39;s important to research further into whether you&#39;re ever likely to see them. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Will You Ever Make Money?  &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you sign up to the program there is a wide range of products to sell, which range from services to communications and beauty. Those who use the program have an excellent choice of what to sell, but unfortunately past members claim that the products are almost impossible to market.  Fortune Hi Tech Marketing is not an illegal scam, but read reviews scattered round the internet and you&#39;ll find that the products don&#39;t hold much potential. And if the product cannot be sold, money is very difficult to get back. This is why I would recommend you take your $249 elsewhere and find a product and program that really takes you through what you need to know to make a profitable online business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;sig&quot; class=&quot;sig&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Neil Butler is an experienced marketer who has built internet and offline businesses and is now teaching others how to achieve success.

You can start your own business from the ground up which can be extremely risky and expensive, you could purchase a franchise which is very expensive or you could join an affiliate program or network marketing opportunity. FHTM, which is short for Fortune Hi-Tech marketing, gives you the benefit of partnering up with several retail franchises that consumers have already come to know and trust without the large expense of purchasing a franchise. In this article I will be discussing how to enroll 3 reps a day into your FHTM business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;FHTM is one of very few network marketing companies that use this concept and chooses only to partner with very select retail based partners which manufacture high quality and competitive products and services. FHTM&#39;s wide variety of products and services using this concept gives you a large marketplace to choose from such as travel, health and wellness, telecom, etc. When enrolling 3 reps a day into your FHTM business you should lead with the product, meaning you shouldn&#39;t approach prospects with opportunities of teaming up with well known and trusted companies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instead, you should get to know each of these products and services and decide which ones you can become passionate about the most. Just like all network marketing companies, your FHTM business depends on product consumption and not distributor enrollment therefore you must become passionate about products and helping others solve a specific need. Using traditional techniques such as passing out brochures business cards and CDs and making a list of friends and family can be slow, expensive and makes you a salesman, not a marketer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are much more economical techniques that can be more effective, economical and less intrusive. When you&#39;ve decided which products you will be focusing on you could start by purchasing product buyer files or response files. I have published videos on the internet which educate on how to achieve this function. You should also at some point have your own live or recorded presentation call. When you&#39;re first getting started it&#39;s okay to use a call being provided by your upline, however most presentation calls done by others lead with the business opportunity instead of the product.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You should also develop a prospecting script which is designed to get someone&#39;s interest and get them to take action. When marketing your FHTM business you must master 3 marketing mediums: the telephone, the internet and the written word.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;sig&quot; class=&quot;sig&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;To discover more FHTM business building techniques and obtain a free report titled, &quot;The Heavy Hitter Report to Adding 3 Reps A Day,&quot; visit &lt;a id=&quot;link_89&quot; target=&quot;_new&quot; href=&quot;http://www.networkgurusecrets.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.networkgurusecrets.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jawaune Saad is a home based business consultant living in Tampa, FL who is currently helping thousands of people to achieve their business dreams.

She went to a meeting on marketing. Now, that may not seem funny to you, however if you knew my wife you would see the humor. My darling wife HATES marketing - or I should say hated marketing.&lt;p&gt;Her mother took her.  God bless the woman!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well, I really quite like my mother-in-law and my wife assured me that it was very much unlike her mother to ever be interested in any marketing things so it must be good.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I didn&#39;t go to any meetings with her because I thought &quot;this is her thing&quot; and if she wanted to go to meetings two or three nights a week, that was up to her.  And she did.  She wrote a check for hundreds of dollars, got the initiation package from UPS, and was hyped right up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is the problem with FHTM.  My wife never actually made any money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She could not get anyone else interested, friends, family, or strangers.  No matter what she tried, she could not get anyone to go with her to these overbearing, over hyped, meetings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You see, once my wife was on the inside of the FHTM circle she learned a number of things that nobody told her before she wrote that first  big check.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For example, FHTM has a points system (that part they tell you upfront).  You need to pay your money and then (this part they don&#39;t tell you) you must earn a number of points every single month in order to keep your status.  If you fail to earn your points, you don&#39;t earn the promised commissions.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When my wife realized she was not making her commissions, even though she was earning her points, she called the head office to find out why.  The reason?  The points had all been going to the top brass.  My wife immediately called her mother as well as the one other person she convinced to get involved and suggested they look at their commissions to ensure they had been getting all their points.  Turns out they hadn&#39;t been.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both of them phoned the 1-800 number and found out that a good portion of their points had also been going to the top brass.  No wonder they were the top dogs, they were getting EVERYONE&#39;S points.  I wonder, if my wife didn&#39;t miss her commissions and phone the company, would the rich guys just have kept getting richer while the ones doing the work were being overlooked?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another problem my wife quickly learned was that, while the concept was excellent, most of the products were not actually available in our - or most other - areas.  No matter how excellent a product is, it&#39;s a tough sell when it&#39;s actually unavailable to the customer.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Long distance?  Not available.  Internet connections?  Not available.  Local phone connections? Not available.  Hm.... that&#39;s a problem.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I suppose if you live in just the right area (which I&#39;m not too sure where those areas are), and you really enjoy dragging people to meetings two or three nights a week, this might just be the marketing business for you.  But, if you are like most people and would rather stay home or spend your free time with friends NOT at a meeting, and sell products that are actually available, then keep looking. Fortune High Tech Marketing is not for you.... or my wife.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;sig&quot; class=&quot;sig&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Scott Matchett enjoyed many years as a youth pastor.

When they say it is not a pyramid, they are not being completely upfront, nor are they outright lying.  FHTM  may very well be a money machine, as is represented, but it is very difficult to get to the level required in order to make any real money.  FHTM has a minimal buy in price, at only a few hundred dollars.  While some make that initial fee back within days, others never see it returned.  There are numerous reasons for such a diverse outcome.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First, if you are in Canada, you may as well forget it.  There are limited FHTM products available in Canada and the ones that are available have ridiculous monthly fees attached.  Also, the products that are available in Canada, while certainly excellent products, have enormous shipping fees attached, making the reasonably priced product, now overpriced.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Second, the number of meetings that one must attend and bring their friends and family to are on the ridiculous side.  There are the Saturday training meetings that take up most of the day, the weekly or bi-weekly meetings that one is suppose to take friends to in order to entice them to sign up, and finally, the week long training seminars (for the really motivated ones). Now, who wants to go to work all day just to sit in a meeting with four or five of their neighbors and friends?  It is very difficult to entice people to go to these meetings when they are really not that interested.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, if they look at the payment plan, they may be a bit more interested, but getting them to come out to the meetings to actually see that payment plan is tedious and frustrating.  As a representative of FHTM, it is difficult to get people interested and you need them to sign up in order for you to make any money.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With this said, FHTM has excellent potential.  That is if one enjoys long meetings, listening to hyped up millionaires go on and on about how much money they make, and live in the USA.  Even the big cash cows spend a large portion of their time traveling, being away from family and friends, and rushing through life just to get as many people as possible on their &#39;team.&#39;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Personally, I would much rather stop the rush of life, relax in my home and spend time with family and friends.  Is there a way to earn a great living while relaxing at home?  You bet!!  Where there&#39;s a will, there&#39;s a way - a great, simple, and fun way!  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Blessings &lt;br /&gt;Scott Matchett&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;sig&quot; class=&quot;sig&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Scott Matchett enjoyed many years as a youth pastor.

and Kimm Reidmatchett&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;body&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;A few years back, my family made a big move.  We left  jobs,  friends and most of our family and moved out East.  That&#39;s where the money was, everyone said.  As well as the potential big bucks, there were breathtaking mountains and chilly rivers, beautiful homes and endless shopping.  We packed up everything and made the move. The money was certainly there, if you could find one of those high paying jobs.  The problem was that everyone else was also dragging their families out west for the same jobs and they were going much too fast.  So fast, that I did not land one for quite some time.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bill payments continued to leave my bank account, however, there were still no paychecks going in.  I was starting to think about getting worried when I heard about this fantastic &quot;too good to be true&quot; marketing job.   A friend of mine had signed up and spent hours at my kitchen table showing me how I could replenish my bank account over and over again.  My wife and I were skeptical, so I went to a few meetings.  I even took a few of my new friends to meetings to get their opinions.  We all thought the same thing, &quot;this just makes sense.&quot;  I got out my checkbook, made a few pen strokes, and a few hundred dollars later, I was a proud member of FHTM.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A week later, the training binder and videos arrived at my door and my wife and I sat down and watched them religiously day after day.  We wanted to ensure we had all the information correct so that when questions came, we had the answers.  The sad truth was that when the questions came, they were not the ones we expected and we ended up having no answers. The questions were things like, &quot;Sure, I can get this product in my area but why do I need to pay a monthly service fee?&quot;  Or, &quot;Why can&#39;t I get this product in my area?&quot;  Long distance was one of the main products but sadly, what we were not told was that long distance was not available in most of the country.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another major issue that we were not told, was about the training that was required through meetings, meetings, and more meetings.  Dragging friends and family to meetings was a definite necessity and we quickly found out that our friends and family did not want to attend meetings two or three times a week.  They did not want to give up their Friday evenings or Saturdays to attend long boring training seminars. I certainly believe there were those few individuals at the top who, if in the right location, did make significant money.  I also believe those individuals were very few.  Every single person I know who was involved with FHTM has not renewed their annual registration fees and would much rather have their initial buy in fees back in their pockets. Now, I have not been involved in many marketing businesses but I can honestly say that those I have been involved with have cost me significant amounts of cash with little to no return.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Until now!!! My wife and I are upright, trustworthy people.  We believe in personal integrity and upfront honesty.  We believe God has a plan for our lives and we  walk in His plan every day. Together we have started a nonprofit organization for single parent families that is very successful and we believe that fundraising is unnecessary.  Because of these beliefs, we needed to figure out a way to completely fund the organization, as well as make a living from it without asking others for money.  Not an easy task!! But, we did.  Together, my wife and I work from home, allowing us to travel and host weekend workshops as well as spend time writing and publishing numerous books for single parents and their children.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Working in online business has certainly given us what we needed, plus so much more.  Not only have we been able to quit our measly paying jobs and work from home (or wherever we happen to have our laptop) we have discovered the time to enjoy life, making significant money while we do the things we love to do.   There is nothing that can compare to having money deposited into our bank accounts in very significant amounts while we take friends to lunch or our kids to the zoo.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having time to do what we enjoy is priceless, however, we are getting paid very well to do just that - whatever we want!! Would you like to enjoy the same freedoms in your life?  Would you rather enjoy life doing whatever it is you love to do or rush through the tedious workday just to repeat the same day tomorrow?  Why not try something different?  You know the old saying, &quot;If you want to see the same results tomorrow, do the same thing you did today... if you want to see different results tomorrow, do something different today.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Check out my website at &lt;a id=&quot;link_101&quot; target=&quot;_new&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.pavedingold.org/&quot;&gt;http://www.pavedingold.org&lt;/a&gt; and make a very significant change for you and your family.

however, those facts and promoting those facts have absolutely nothing to do with your success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I know this statement is a little bit bold because FHTM teaches you to go out and tell people how great the company and the compensation plan are and that&#39;s how you put people into your down line.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, the fact of the matter is that this recruiting method will actually hinder you more than help you because when you attach someone to a company you make yourself insignificant to your prospect.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meaning your prospect will see you as nothing more than go between, someone they must go through to sign up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The second thing that you are doing by pitching the compensation plan and the company is putting the focus in the wrong spot. What really matters is what you are actually doing to build your business and to get the job done.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;People don&#39;t get involved in the this industry just because they want to be in the network marketing industry.

People get involved in this industry because of the end result and because of the amount of wealth that can be created.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your prospects don&#39;t want to hear how great the company or pay plan is. Your prospects want to get to their end result and need to know that YOU can personally show them how to do that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In order to make that happen, you personally have to go out and get the job done by keeping the focus on what&#39;s most important and that&#39;s in promoting, branding and marketing yourself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;100,000 other FHTM reps are all pitching the same thing and unless you can differentiate yourself than your prospects are just going to see you as another network marketing rep coming at them with a sales pitch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once you learn how to market your opportunity and the power of personal branding you will easily be sponsoring 15-20 reps into your downline every month.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;sig&quot; class=&quot;sig&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Learn how to brand yourself and market your &lt;a id=&quot;link_90&quot; target=&quot;_new&quot; href=&quot;http://thewealthysuperstar.com/&quot;&gt;Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing&lt;/a&gt; opportunity today by visiting the highlighted link above.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Article Source: &lt;a id=&quot;link_91&quot; href=&quot;http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Thomas_Hernandez&quot;&gt;http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Thomas_Hernandez&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fortunehitechmarketinginfo.blogspot.com/feeds/6514545982908446863/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://fortunehitechmarketinginfo.blogspot.com/2009/09/is-fortune-hi-tech-marketing-best-home.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3388346264728376250/posts/default/6514545982908446863'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3388346264728376250/posts/default/6514545982908446863'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fortunehitechmarketinginfo.blogspot.com/2009/09/is-fortune-hi-tech-marketing-best-home.html' title='Is Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing the BEST Home Business Opportunity?'/><author><name>Beth Parker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09528364746515228012</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD2gv6VIcmpwVDqyrNczjMd63ILx_nH6_ubMX-z0azxKYmKahPQLETK1IDH7VuVsfRnkizgIOIXRb3QE-XoJfJsVtvk4TQP4dM6fGK9O8ljOgpsbZOHox4z66yzzDrIQ/s220/Bethanny3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388346264728376250.post-1414144014623292711</id><published>2009-09-24T15:44:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-09-24T15:46:15.399-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Growing Your FHTM Business"/><title type='text'>Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing - Why is it Not Working For YOU?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class=&quot;copyright&quot;&gt;By &lt;a id=&quot;link_55&quot; href=&quot;http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Thomas_Hernandez&quot; onmouseover=&quot;javascript:toggle_visibility(&#39;extendbio&#39;)&quot; onmouseout=&quot;javascript:toggle_visibility(&#39;extendbio&#39;)&quot;&gt;Thomas Hernandez&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;body&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Are you one of the thousands of people who just can&#39;t seem to get the ball rolling with your Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing Business?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obviously, you&#39;re reading this because you&#39;re struggling and looking for answers or just curious to see what others are saying about this company.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the most controversial subjects relating to FHTM is their training. Chances are when you got involved with FHTM the first thing they told you was to make a list of 100 names, call your friends and family then play a DVD presentation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Only around 2% of the people who use this approach will ever be truly successful. You see, much of what you are taught is really a system based on hope and chance instead of solid business sense and logical marketing principles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The reason they teach you these things is because they require no skill. It&#39;s easy to teach someone to play a DVD or call your friends and family. It&#39;s not so easy to teach someone how to market the opportunity to people who are already looking for it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Marketing is the million dollar skill that any serious entrepreneur should develop. There is a huge difference from introducing the opportunity to someone who actually has expressed an interest in it and introducing it to your mother.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remember the company is called Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing...not Fortune Hi-Tech Convince or Fortune Hi-Tech Chase.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, what can you do?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well, the solution is to find some reliable outside marketing training that can teach you step by step how to find people who are actively searching for a business opportunity like Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;sig&quot;

She didn&#39;t try to push it on me--she&#39;s not that kind of person.  But I was looking for something.  My husband is going to school full-time and working full-time, so I thought it would be nice if I could make enough extra money that he wouldn&#39;t have to work as hard.  So I asked for more information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At first I was excited.  It sounded like something I could do, and when I did keyword research to find out whether I could get enough traffic to my website, I found that there are over a million people searching for just three keywords:  MLM, MLM opportunity and MLM opportunities.  And there are many more keywords I could use than just those.  So getting traffic to my website would probably not be a problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I knew I would have to focus on recruiting at first.  After all, it takes time to build up enough customers to build up a decent amount of residual income.  That&#39;s to be expected.  What I didn&#39;t expect was the number of customers it would take to make a decent income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night I decided to run the numbers.  I needed to know exactly what I was getting into.  In other words, how hard would I have to work to grow this business to the point where I would be making $3000 per month (my goal) from commissions so I could stop recruiting and sit back and enjoy the benefits of residual income.  The answer to this question shocked me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, let&#39;s talk about how the FHTM business model works.  Each person who joins FTHM is supposed to try to recruit just three people.  Sounds easy, right?  OK, let&#39;s say you succeed in recruiting three people and all of your people and your people&#39;s people all the way down the line succeed in recruiting three people.  Are you with me so far?  Hmmm... well, how about an illustration?  If you&#39;ve ever seen a network marketing presentation, you&#39;ve probably seen something like this before:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfo2gd6pKH4770jxKzXJdwB0WWn1W9Tn9ch-tK3TkpoCLBtVBnlk1V1AEqeRaPEUIPvSv60bT9oB2JQoxlPzSIYOwhLSEeVCUVSTfa_C2XjmdrU7cczHu_1eJCLiyz9K0YiEgzsHfXPw5W/s1600-h/network+marketing+stick+people.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 289px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfo2gd6pKH4770jxKzXJdwB0WWn1W9Tn9ch-tK3TkpoCLBtVBnlk1V1AEqeRaPEUIPvSv60bT9oB2JQoxlPzSIYOwhLSEeVCUVSTfa_C2XjmdrU7cczHu_1eJCLiyz9K0YiEgzsHfXPw5W/s320/network+marketing+stick+people.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385109466084311778&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, that&#39;s not so complicated, is it?  Everyone gets three recruits, and by the time you get to level eight--wow, you have built up one heck of an organization so you should be rolling in dough, right? Let&#39;s figure it out. We&#39;ll just use the commissions for our analysis to start with. After all, we don&#39;t want to have to keep working at recruiting to make money. We eventually want to be able to live off the residuals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you get the eighth level filled up, your organization will look like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Level 1: 3 people&lt;br /&gt;Level 2: 9 people&lt;br /&gt;Level 3: 27 people&lt;br /&gt;Level 4: 81 people&lt;br /&gt;Level 5: 243 people&lt;br /&gt;Level 6: 729 people&lt;br /&gt;Level 7: 2187 people&lt;br /&gt;Level 8: 6561 people&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You make a whopping 1/2% commission on the people in levels 1-7. It doesn&#39;t sound like much but it should add up to quite a bit. After all, there are a lot of people in levels 1-7, a total of 3279 people to be exact. So let&#39;s assume that each of these people is spending an average of $100 per month on their products. That&#39;s not too hard, since Fortune sells cell phone service and satellite TV. Those are high-priced services. That adds up to $327,900 in sales just for levels 1-7. The commission on that is $1639.50. A little disappointing, but it&#39;s not pocket change either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let&#39;s figure level eight. This is where the money is, because Fortune pays 5% on level eight. With 6561 people averaging $100 in sales per person, that&#39;s $656,100 in sales. Five percent of that is $32,805 per month. WOW! That&#39;s awesome. I can recruit three people, wait for all of them to recruit three people and eventually I will be making $34,444.50 per month!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does anyone else see the problems with this plan? OK then, I am going to start poking holes in the plan now. Please don&#39;t be too upset with me. I am doing it for your own good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;&quot; &gt;Problem #1:  It&#39;s Unrealistic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So everyone who joins under you is going to recruit three people?  If you think so, you are living in la-la land.  Most of the people who join an MLM will never do anything with it, or they will give up before they get anyone signed up.  If you&#39;re lucky, most of the people who are under you will sign up one person, some will sign up two and a few will sign up all three.  The worst case scenario, of course, is that you will sign up a bunch of lazy slobs and will have do all of their recruiting for them--that&#39;s 9840 recruits.  Are you up for that?  Well, that&#39;s OK, because that&#39;s not realistic either.  But even if your recruits only average 1.5 new people each, you still have to do half the work to fill up your organization.  That&#39;s 4920 recruits.  Even if you recruit one person per day, if you half to do half of the recruiting for your group, it will take you almost 13.5 years to fill up your organization if no one quits on you before you get it done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;&quot; &gt;Problem #2:  What If Someone Quits?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That brings us to problem number two.  What if someone quits?  Well, if they are near the bottom of your organization, it probably won&#39;t matter much.  But what if they are near the top?  Let&#39;s say one of your level one people quits.  I&#39;m assuming your downline will all move up a step to take his or her place.  Someone please let me know if I&#39;ve got that wrong.  I wasn&#39;t able to find answers for every possible scenario.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, so one of your level one people quits.  Now 1/3 of your level eight just moved up to level seven.  Those 2187 people are now earning you a 1/2% commission each month instead of 5%, through no fault of your own.  That&#39;s $9841.50 in lost commissions just because ONE of your level one people left the organization.  Ouch!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, that&#39;s OK, because by the time you get your organization filled up, your level one people will be making so much money from all the work you did for them that they won&#39;t ever want to quit.  Speaking of which, just how much money will all those people by making from the recruits you placed under them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;&quot; &gt;Problem #3:  Unhappy Recruits&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let&#39;s figure out how much the other people in our organization are making.  We&#39;ll have to figure how many people are underneath the people in each level, then figure the commission based on that.  We are still figuring based on an average of $100 per month in subscriptions per customer/recruit.  You can double-check my work if you want, but this is what I came up with:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Level 1: 3 people ------- 2187 in downline -------- $1093.50 in commissions&lt;br /&gt;Level 2: 9 people ------- 729 in downline --------- $364.50 in commissions&lt;br /&gt;Level 3: 27 people ------ 243 in downline --------- $121.50 in commissions&lt;br /&gt;Level 4: 81 people ------ 81 in downline ---------- $40.50 in commissions&lt;br /&gt;Level 5: 243 people ----- 27 in downline ---------- $13.50 in commissions&lt;br /&gt;Level 6: 729 people ----- 9 in downline ----------- $4.50 in commissions&lt;br /&gt;Level 7: 2187 people ---- 3 in downline ----------- $1.50 in commissions&lt;br /&gt;Level 8: 6561 people ---- no downline ------------ $0 in commissions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All right, I know that some of the people in level eight will have their own recruits, but I am just basing this on having my own organization filled up.  After all, I&#39;ve been working my butt off recruiting people for 13 1/2 years and I am worn out.  I just want to sit back and retire and live off my $34,444.50 per month commission checks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let&#39;s see how many of my customers are happy.  A good company needs happy customers, right?  If they are unhappy, they will quit, and I will have to keep recruiting to replace the ones who leave.  I have worked hard to give my people a good start filling up their organizations, so they should be making enough that they will not want to quit, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of the people who are making enough money to live on should be happy.  Let&#39;s see how many there are.  My level one people are making $1093.50 per month in commissions.  Can you live on that?  I can&#39;t.  They are making some nice pocket change, but they can&#39;t quit their day jobs yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let&#39;s try defining &quot;happy customer&quot; a little more loosely, shall we?  Most of these people would have had cell phones and satellite TV anyhow, so they should be happy if their commission check covers their $100 per month bill.  After all, that&#39;s like getting them free.  The people in levels 1-3 are making enough to cover their $100 subscriptions.  That&#39;s 39 people.  I have 39 happy customers!  Yay, me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, wait a minute.  Did you catch that?  Only 39 of my 9840 customers are happy.  That leaves 9801 unhappy customers.  99.6% of my customers are unhappy, and I have been working like a madwoman for 13 1/2 years to try to help them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;&quot; &gt;The Business Model Puts Too Much Emphasis on Recruiting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, it is possible to make a decent income with Fortune if you focus on recruiting.  You earn at least $100 for each person you personally recruit, and after you get 12 people under you, you earn at least $100 for every new recruit in your organization through level eight. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recruiting is not bad.  Every MLM company is based on the idea of making money from the sales made by your recruits and their recruits and so on.  That&#39;s not what I have a problem with.  The problem is that, when you take away the recruiting and focus only on the commissions, Fortune&#39;s plan is sorely lacking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A business that puts too much emphasis on recruiting will eventually stagnate.  Every MLM opportunity has a limited customer base.  Even if the opportunity appeals to every person in the world, there will still come a point where the market is saturated.  At that point, nearly everyone who would be interested in the opportunity is already involved with it.  Once the opportunity reaches that point, those who are involved in it will find that new recruits are few and far between.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is at that point when I believe disaster will strike for Fortune.  Without the bonuses for new recruits, the majority of the people involved in Fortune (those who don&#39;t have their organizations filled out), will find that they aren&#39;t making enough money to bother with the annual renewal fee and they will drop out.  This will cause a trickle-up effect.  Those who are a little higher up will lose income because their organizations have shrunk, which will eventually lead to them dropping out once their earnings have dropped low enough.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fortunehitechmarketinginfo.blogspot.com/feeds/4125688791001873967/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://fortunehitechmarketinginfo.blogspot.com/2009/09/my-personal-review-of-fortune-hi-tech.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3388346264728376250/posts/default/4125688791001873967'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3388346264728376250/posts/default/4125688791001873967'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fortunehitechmarketinginfo.blogspot.com/2009/09/my-personal-review-of-fortune-hi-tech.html' title='My Personal Review of Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing (FHTM)'/><author><name>Beth Parker</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09528364746515228012</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD2gv6VIcmpwVDqyrNczjMd63ILx_nH6_ubMX-z0azxKYmKahPQLETK1IDH7VuVsfRnkizgIOIXRb3QE-XoJfJsVtvk4TQP4dM6fGK9O8ljOgpsbZOHox4z66yzzDrIQ/s220/Bethanny3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfo2gd6pKH4770jxKzXJdwB0WWn1W9Tn9ch-tK3TkpoCLBtVBnlk1V1AEqeRaPEUIPvSv60bT9oB2JQoxlPzSIYOwhLSEeVCUVSTfa_C2XjmdrU7cczHu_1eJCLiyz9K0YiEgzsHfXPw5W/s72-c/network+marketing+stick+people.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388346264728376250.post-2434260132938428534</id><published>2009-09-24T13:27:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-09-24T13:28:17.531-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="FHTM Videos"/><title type='text'>Canadian Business Proposal for Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing (FHTM)</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot;

href=&quot;http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Quinn_Collins&quot; onmouseover=&quot;javascript:toggle_visibility(&#39;extendbio&#39;)&quot; onmouseout=&quot;javascript:toggle_visibility(&#39;extendbio&#39;)&quot;&gt;Quinn Collins&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;body&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last week I spent an hour with a friend of mine, (and a disgusting cup of coffee...) discussing the marketing company FHTM, or Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing. This friend, let&#39;s call him John (although his real name is Peter) is heavily involved with Fortune and does fairly well financially within the company. As a marketing coach teaching techniques to people in all different MLMs and home based businesses, I was interested in how this particular company worked, as I speak regularly with others involved in FHTM who can&#39;t seem to earn any kind of substantial income within this system.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whilst John was relatively successful with Fortune, he mentioned a few things that caught my attention.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First of all, I&#39;d like to say that I have personally used some of the range of products sold by reps, and for the most part, I liked what I saw. No real complaints...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, John began to explain to me a fairly complex compensation plan, which I needed full concentration to comprehend. This payment plan seemed to work on the premise that you find 3 people to join your business, for which you receive a commission. Then for every person who joins one of your 3, you receive a smaller payout - quite a typical MLM style plan. There are certain goals that when achieved jump you up onto the next rung of the ladder, and so your commissions increase. There was a lot of talk about a free Lexus...but from what I understand, they are few and far between.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Secondly, the company relies quite heavily on the concept that you only have to find 3 people to join your team...and who can&#39;t find just 3 people? Well, it turns out that a lot of reps struggle to get their 3, so you consequently begin to recruit people yourself, and then pass them on to your downline. Doesn&#39;t make much sense...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thirdly, it seemed to me that this company didn&#39;t carry a lot of weight online, but relied on hotel meetings, church meetings, and a LOT of coffee shop one-on-one appointments, which is great if you are a real extroverted people person. However, the quiet introvert had a much tougher time earning any real income.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, the question remains, &quot;Is FHTM a scam?&quot; Absolutely not...However, I must admit that having worked with people in many different MLM opportunities, Fortune is a tricky one to make complete sense of. The product, whilst very good, are very limited, especially outside of the US. It does feel very much like a friends and family scenario, as opposed to using the vast leverage and power of the internet, and I can say with confidence there are much easier ways to earn a living from home.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;John can sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in white gloves, so he&#39;ll be fine, but for the rest of you, go online!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;sig&quot; class=&quot;sig&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Quinn Collins has spent twelve years working as a motivational speaker and a personal communication coach in countries around the world including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, The USA, Great Britain and parts of Europe.
