Emerald Passport Quick Profile

MultiLeveler:

Emerald Passport is a direct selling company with an Australian 2-up compensation plan. The Australian 2-up plan means that a person's first 2 sales go directly to the person that recruited you into the program (or someone higher up).

Emerald Passport has a couple of twists on the 2-up compensation plan. Basically the compensation plan is really an Aussie 4-up, because your purchase plus your first 2 sales and your group's first sale, all "go up", with no money going to you.

Once you complete your 4 sales (of $1295 each) you qualify to earn $1,000 on each sale you make.

Actually, Emerald Passort Inc is a 2 up comp. plan.. I didn't experience any twists.

I'm glad to see a informational blog regarding this exceptional business. However, Emerald Passport has a variety of informational sites where you can properly be educated.

If 4 sales are "going up" then technically the plan is a "4-up".

Emerald Passport is a 2-Up when someone buys the product as 95% of people do.

This business model is very, very powerful and you can see why it can attract such a high calibre of prospect because of leverage it creates.

I am courious - does any one make money on the actual information that is being sold? Or does the only money come from selling the system?

John,

That's a good question. I've sold the products to people that weren't interested in the "System" as you put it and I, the seller profited.. However, the system that is offered is a business that can produce a great income for those that understand how to market it.. There is several ways you can earn an income with the products offered through Emerald Passport.

I am a Phase 2 director with Emerald Passport. I have found the company to live up to its claims and have met some very successful distributors at the Wealth and Self Conference. My experience is that marketing is the ultimate key to success with Emerald Passport. The product is solid, and the conferences are excellent, in my opinion. Keep in mind that it may take 2-5 years to reach your goal of earning that coveted $100k income bracket, but that is a part time income and time will go by whether or not you are working on your self and your skills. So, why not go for it? Surround yourself with exciting, goal oriented people and join a community of achievers that will encourage you and change your life forever if you will let them - I wish you the success and the significance you seek. Let EPI be your partner in your journey to more - more time, more freedom, more options, more education and more friendships worldwide.

This 1Up scam is obvious from the outset. No one asks this basic question. Why, if I am someone who wants to work for the company, must I buy the product? This would be ludicrous in the extreme with any other industry. No one's heard of a car dealership that forces you to buy one of their cars to be a salesman for them. You don't have to buy a house from a real estate agency to begin selling real estate. These people understand their "system" is useless, these self empowerment programs always are. They started with late night infomercials in the 80's, and have advanced to this pyramid scheme level of complexity, for one simple reason. People know these products are useless, and wouldn't purchase them without the carrot of potential wealth from selling them to other gullible fools hanging over their nose.

Fault can be found with every compensation plan no matter what company a person researches, just as there are different pay structures within any career or job classification or different franchise systems. The compensation plan does not lend itself to a person's success or failure. There are many reasons why any given person will fail or succeed within an MLM, Network Marketing, or Direct Sales environment. Likewise if one was to compare traditional small business owners you find similar statistics. Does this make Free Enterprise bad? Not at all.

Unlike a traditional business which has a very high monetary risk factor, most home businesses are affordable with the cost being the price of a laptop or less. The high price of a traditional business includes training, and other costs.

In the Aussie 2-up, (4-up), the person who attracts another into the business receives the profit for the training sales. And so it should be. The key word is "Training Sales." The person receiving the benefit of the sales should be investing time into the people being attracted into the business. Here is a simple question. Would you spend a large amount of time and effort in training a person if there was not excellent compensation? Once the training sales are complete no other remuneration will be received from the newly qualified individual. Try hiring a success coach for nothing or next to nothing. The Aussie system lends itself to a very significant income within a short time frame. In my opinion it is the best out there!

Let's look at just two reasons for failure in Free Enterprise. It is very important to find a system that will accomplish your goals you set out to fulfill. In other words research each company to find a fit for you. Many enter Free Enterprise (tradional or home based) on hype and emotion. Very little fact finding is done. By the way, trusting opinions found on bulletin boards is not fact finding for the most part. Weigh negativism with a grain of salt. Ask yourself who is doing the posting. Are they qualified? You can glean some info from the BBB. A negative report here does not mean bad things. Look and see if the company rectified the complaint. Remember the BBB is a business that makes profits. Just because a company is not listed does not make it bad. Weigh your research and follow your heart. Realize some fear of the unknown will be present. Poor research increases your odds of not winning in the game.

With a business in the area of MLM, Network Marketing, or Direct Sales it is very important to find a sponsor who really takes your success as their success. This does not mean they are going to run your business. It means they have developed several unique ways for you to connect and communicate your message to others. Ask them to expose you to what they are doing. They won't mind showing or demonstrating how they are realizing success. Even with their assistance you must have the ability to personalize and act upon the training. Ask yourself if you are ready to learn a few new skills and follow those who have paved the way? Failure to ask the sponsoring person great questions can leave you with a hard pill to swallow later on. Remember, that failure is a place of learning. Take from it and do better.

I hope this post will help others with evaluating Emerald Passport, other companies or with locating a future sponsor.

is yours!

It's true. There are many reasons why someone might fail at network marketing. You have to do your homework on whether your product is sound and is something people might want or need. Doing this is not an insurance policy that you'll be in that coveted $100k income bracket but if you don't work at it you'll never know. Marketing and selling are key to making any business work.

1 up, 2 up, 4 up...I'd rather go all the way up and all the way wide. Check out the pay plan I've discovered at www.payplan.us. It's what I've always been looking for, and a product with REAL value for the consumer; one that has been selling for 20+ years through conventional means for up to $10K more than it's now being sold for over the internet.

A compensation plan that pays to unlimited width and depth, combined with top-notch training and marketing systems, I've found the opportunity I've always been looking for, and we're just getting started.

I've been looking and experimenting for a LONG time and I know I've finally found the one. Check it out.
