Amused... Then laugh la... My first post was a neutral account of my experience at ur company. I even said that Venture Era is one of the better MLM companies. I didn't personally attack anyone but of cos' I was straight to the point. If I thought a certain person in ur company sucks, I would type that down.Originally posted by enquiries:Good afternoon.
I am rather amused that there are some NON venture era group distributors replying on behalf of the company. I would like to thank these people for their efforts to explain about our industries but I would like to stress that their replies are based from their personal point of view.
In an effort to further clean up the image of MLM in Singapore, I think it is the responsibilities of the company to strengthen up the education and also the distributors to behave appropriately.
I am a distributor of Venture Era Group. I do not represent the company but I believe there are some issues that I can help to make things better.
Should there be of any enquiries regarding our distributors or Venture Era Group, I will be glad to serve you better.
You can private message me or you can contact me at my mobile number.
Thanks.

Yes, my subsequent posts are personal point of views. Isn't that what this forums are for? For every individual to voice their personal opinions. I can safely say there is not a single person here, MLMer or non MLMer alike, knows the industry in and out. U are a distributor, so what? Unless u're high up there, u'll nv really noe what ur bosses (real bosses, not those 17 yr old 'managers') are up to as well.
Ok, I shall keep this at a neutral stance. I have a few inquiries regarding ur company and the industry on a whole. Since the other VE thread starter didn't reply, I shall post it once again.
1) Why is it that recruiters mislead jobseekers, promising jobs such as temporary administrative work and customer service, not revealing the job's true nature of sales, give ambiquous information abt the company. MLM, say MLM la. If u guys were honest thru the initial phone call, I think I wouldn't have wasted 2 hrs of my time on Monday going down to ur office already. I'm not attacking MLM in anyway, juz that I'm not suitable for any sales job, and if u guys told me it's predominantly sales, I wouldn't have been interested.
2) Why are ur products (the water filter) so grossly overpriced? U guys mentioned the filter out in the market now is worth $1.4k. I forgot what u guys said abt ur product being superior than theirs, which is why u guys priced it at $1.8k. Which leads me to my third pt...
3) A BGM earns 40% commission off one sale, isn't it? That's not including money from ur downlines' sales, managerial and car bonuses and training bonuses. Am I correct to assume the product is in fact only 20-30% of its retail price? If not, ur company is willing to make a loss in order for their employees to benefit? Cannot be the case right? So it's either ur business plan is a bogus or the consumer is exploited for big profits.
Still, I'm impressed u guys require no initial investment and provide free training. Then again, without basic pay, the least u guys can do is provide free training. Perhaps, u should make things clear on this forums once and for all, rather than hide behind an email to defend ur company. Make ur views known.

hey i oso go to ur company b4 infact many MLM company haha.Originally posted by enquiries:hi there,
I had already sent you my replies 2 times. this is the exact message i sent to you at 3am and 12pm, in case you didnt received due to traffic lag.
==============
hi,
i hope my replies can answer your concerns.
1) Why is it that recruiters mislead jobseekers, promising jobs such as temporary administrative work and customer service, not revealing the job's true nature of sales, give ambiquous information abt the company. MLM, say MLM la. If u guys were honest thru the initial phone call, I think I wouldn't have wasted 2 hrs of my time on Monday going down to ur office already. I'm not attacking MLM in anyway, juz that I'm not suitable for any sales job, and if u guys told me it's predominantly sales, I wouldn't have been interested.
my reply:
Mostly these recruiters are new and inexperienced, thus making the mistakes of beating around the bush. I do correct them on the spot, letting them know that such action will cause mistrust and unhappiness to the people coming for interview. I think these inexperienced recruiters do pay a heavy price to learn.
--------------------------------
2) Why are ur products (the water filter) so grossly overpriced? U guys mentioned the filter out in the market now is worth $1.4k. I forgot what u guys said abt ur product being superior than theirs, which is why u guys priced it at $1.8k. Which leads me to my third pt...
my reply:
Different people see the need of the product different. For my family, we do see a need for the water filteration and mineralised water for our body daily needs, that is why we are willingly to invest the money for the family. Of course, some people dont see the need thus definitely wont want to spend that amount of money on the filteration.
I think that the product presenter do play a important part to explain the need worth value of the products. I understand that most product presenters presenting in the office are considered junior and inexperienced presenters still learning and practising. I apologised for the bad impression given to you.
--------------------------------
3) A BGM earns 40% commission off one sale, isn't it? That's not including money from ur downlines' sales, managerial and car bonuses and training bonuses. Am I correct to assume the product is in fact only 20-30% of its retail price? If not, ur company is willing to make a loss in order for their employees to benefit? Cannot be the case right? So it's either ur business plan is a bogus or the consumer is exploited for big profits.
my reply:
BGM earns 40% commission from the PV, not the retail price. The 40% do included in downline's sales, training bonus etc. So, in fact only 30% of the filteration retail price is paid to the distributors. The business plan can be very easy to calcaluate and understand but provided the plan presenter can explain very clearly across the table. I think it is our plan presenter poor explanation that made you misunderstand our business plan.
--------------------------------
Still, I'm impressed u guys require no initial investment and provide free training. Then again, without basic pay, the least u guys can do is provide free training. Perhaps, u should make things clear on this forums once and for all, rather than hide behind an email to defend ur company. Make ur views known.
Thank you for your compliment. I understand that basic pay is always a concern. I wish to address the issue because MLM is a business concept and every distributors are self-employed, meaning like a retailer, contractor, freelancer, taxi-driver etc. MLM is not a job and thats why there are no basic pay.
I hope you can feel free to message me directly should there be anymore valuable feedback. Thanks!

I think I have answered you directly to your issue. If you dont like my replies, I think you can voice out what is your expectations?

hi,
please allow me to reply. I think you have mistaken the business plan. If you are interested to know, I would be glad to explain to you in a neutral venue of your choice.
with regards to young people, I think is because young people bring more young people to join.
hope you like my replies.
post here ur reply here thx

hmm i think u're still a MA(P) or MA ba?
i really hope that those VERY EXPERIENCE PRO MLMER can come out to speak.Originally posted by enquiries:hi,
I think if you want to know more about MLM, books and internet are definitely a smarter choice than coming to forum for information. I dont think there are many people who are very successful here to give you the things you need.
So, please pardon me that I'm not in any position to explain further to you on MLM stuff. Please seek higher learning from books.
learn from books in theory, but the reality's poles apart.Originally posted by enquiries:hi,

Regarding u guys earning up to 50% profits from one sale... And also... My concerns regarding how u train ur employees to speak to potential recruits... Once u answered these 2 qns, then I shall drop my case for ur company... Otherwise, it'll still be branded as the typical MLM, who brainwashes and cheats...

Yeah, fun to watch ppl quarrel right? But dun say thrash talk leh...

It's juz confusing that he changed stance so quickly. I felt that I have wasted my time replying to his posts. Long time nv come to forums do such things liao mah, hoping to find someone actually engaging. Such a uber disappointment.

Learning is good... Keep studying and gaining knowledge... That comes to another point, the manager told me that fresh uni graduates earn max up to $2k a mth only while they can constantly earn beyond that. Machiam trying to deter me to study and making me do business full time. For the sake of every naive guy in this forum trying to earn it big thru MLM, now's 21st century, it doesn't work that way. U still need that knowledge and abilities to tackle bigger business plans. U can't possibly keep relying on ur broken ENGRISH to eke a living for a lifetime. Yea... So... Pursue knowledge and dun be naive to think there's an easy way, guys!Originally posted by wolala:hai i reall hate myself for not learning english well when i was at secondary. oh well nvm i will continue to upgrade myself
wow i think u really can join MLM lol since ur language so POWER. hai a pity u dun like MLM...
