I don't think any reps would mind if every once in a while a new rep received a randomly-assigned subscription from someone who signed up from the general pool, do you?

Good ideas.

Great post!

I would like to comment on a couple of areas.

First I have to agree with Steve, the company should make it easy for interested parties to join.

A couple of suggestions would be as follows.

1. They could provide a place for the person to type in the name of the person who told them about INVISUS. (If they have someone.)

2. If the company is concerned they would be competing with thier sales force, they could give these orphan subscribers to their top producers or create a subscriber co-op where their sales force could purchase a few orphan subscriptions.

I know these sound a little crazy and outside the box. But from what I have seen one of the positive things about INVISUS is they think outside the box.

Now changing to another subject… The compensation plan. I, like you did a boatload of investigation before I joined the company, and here is my two cents worth on this compensation plan.

After looking at the compensation plan, I went and checked out a couple of other other companies. One is the world's largest financial service company (Citi Group) and the other Keller Williams Real Estate.

Citi Group has a marketing arm called Primerica who has been marketing insurance and investment for years, in the tune of $69 billion in new business each year. They use the same type of compensation plan, as INVISUS.

Keller Williams which is one of the most successful real estate firms in the nation also has a multi-level compensation plan.

So although, like you I am not sure what to call the compensation plan, I can say that INVISUS is not what 99.9% of the world knows as a network marketing or multi-level marketing company.

Dave great post. I really enjoy your blog.
