HOW COMMISSION CIRCULARS CAN MAKE MONEY FOR YOU and *Most everyone familar with mail order would be introduced to or involved in *the promotion of commission circulars. You've seen them before. You place an *order for them and place your name in the "Order From" box. When orders come *to you, you keep 50% of the money for your efforts and forward the order plus *the remaining 50% of the money onto the "Prime Source," who will, in turn, *dropship the order to the customer. and *These work great if everyone does what they should. However, some people have *found it necessary to even "cheat" with these. They will see a commission *circular they want to promote. But instead of sending their order to the *prime source to obtain a legitimate camera-ready copy _ they simply place *their name and address in the "Order From" box and begin advertising it. and *What happens if you order from an individual or company who has done this? *You probably won't get your order and the guy or gal will pocket your hard- *earned money! What a waste! and *Because the "cheater" normally will not know who the prime source is and who *to forward any orders to (since they didn't respond in the proper manner), *your order is tossed in the trash. This is bad business for you as well as *the prime source who often times, does not even know this is happening. *Fortunately, we personally receive a copy of almost everything that is being *promoted and can usually identify this fraudulent behavior with our own *commission circulars. However, we are fortunate to be able to keep "on top" *of this activity. But there are prime source dealers who are being ripped-off *everyday! Let's put a stop to it! How? and *One way to combat this problem is to look the circular over for any major *changes in the "type." If the circular appears to be tampered with (and *there is no special membership number assigned) you should question it *before sending in your money. You might even consider requesting the name *of the prime source without the address to prove the validity of the circular *if you want to spend the time. and *Another way of combating commission circular fraud is by writing a letter to *the advertiser requesting "more information" about the product before you *place an order. Some people don't want to spend the time doing this because *they might be "out of the mood" to place an order by the time they receive *an answer. If you feel this way about a product _ why even order it in the *first place? You should never be placing an order just to spend money. *Instead _ it should always be for something you want and need. Besides, *you only have to write a letter to people with products you REALLY want to *purchase. After you have been in the business for awhile, and made a few *contacts _ you will normally know "what" and "who" to do business with. and *It never ceases to amaze me what some people will do to cheat others out of *$2 or $3. Can't someone use more of their brains and think up their own offer *without stealing others? It's sad! and *A professional con-artist would NEVER think of doing such a thing. A profes- *sional (and unfortunately smart) con-artist would play it safe on the small *orders and wait to build their business up. Then _ when they were generating *$1,000's of dollars _ they would go in for the big kill. Anybody that risks *their business on $2 or $3 is a penny-ante dealer with nothing going for *them but continual struggle and unnecessary problems they could have avoided. and *Now please don't misunderstand me. I am in NO WAY trying to exalt a *professional con-artist and tell you to be like him or her. These people *create their own downfall in the end also. All con-games are short-lived *and play havoc on your professional, personal and spiritual life. You may be *laughing all the way to the bank now _ but one day when you need someone to *bring you a drink of water because you are ill, no one will be there for you. Your money will be gone _ along with your "so-call *ed" friends! and *Commission circulars in mail order are a viable part of keeping the *industry functioning. They provide a good money-making avenue for new *businesses because they are promoting established products and services *that sell well already. A prime source should support their dealers who *participate in their commission circular programs. One way to support them *is NOT to be their competition. Instead of running your ads _ run their ads *instead. Regardless of "who" gets the order, the prime source still gets a *portion of the profits _ right? And if you help your people sell your *products and make a little money, you'll get more people signed up to sell *for you! and and and and |
