Press Release Summary: Several industries use similar pass-up systems, car dealerships, insurance companies, high-end furniture sales and real estate, just to name a few. My fiancée used to work in furniture sales, and he was paid a set rate plus commissions.

Press Release Body: First of all, passing up sales shouldn\'t be an issue if your sponsor is a good sponsor. Let me explain. When I have a new member join my team, I do several things for them. I provide them with a free copy of my marketing training guide (which has sold very well among many members of EDC), as well as a free customized marketing website, complete with the registered domain of their choice. I also take them through a 3-week period of 1-on-1 training, showing them the exact methods that I use, which are bringing me success. I also act as the guinea pig for my team in many instances, testing new-found advertising methods for effectiveness before suggesting them to my team members. The reason is because I am in a better position financially, and do not wish them to waste their money on methods which are ineffective. http://www.incomecycle.com
All of this takes time from my own business and money from my pocket, but I do it because I feel it\'s what a good sponsor should do. Why then, does it seem so unfair that new members should pass up a sale or 2 to a sponsor who\'s set them up for success? In my opinion, these sales are usually made during that initial period when the sponsor is training the new member, and to be honest, most of the work is done by the sponsor anyway. So why should they not be allowed the benefit of their work?
I often use an example from a past profession of mine. When I used to work as a server in restaurants, I noticed something which I see is now similar to 1-up and 2-up systems in internet marketing. When a new server is hired, they usually go through a 2-week training period, in which they learn the restaurants policies, and learn how the system within the restaurant works. Also, during their last week of training, they \"shadow\" a more experienced server. They follow that server to learn how to approach tables and customers, how to present the menu and featured food and drink items etc. There are a few days on the tail end of that week where the roles are reversed, and the newer server takes over that tables that belong to the more experienced server, and that more experienced server then \"shadows\" the new one. This is done as an evaluation, to make sure that the new server is comfortable with their duties, communicating with customers, serving food etc. This all takes time away from the business of that more experienced server (they have to spend extra time training the newer server when they could be turning their tables faster). So as a consolation \"prize\" for the more experienced server, they earn the tip from that tables that the newer server took over. Reason? Because they were the trainer, and because it would have been their table anyway. That isn\'t so unfair, it is just the price a new employee pays in that or this kind of business for getting the extensive training they need to succeed.
Several industries use similar pass-up systems, car dealerships, insurance companies, high-end furniture sales and real estate, just to name a few. My fiancée used to work in furniture sales, and he was paid a set rate plus commissions. He was required to meet a quota of $50,000 in a given month before he was eligible to receive any commissions for that month. So the company was rewarded that $50,000 despite the fact that he was the one doing all of the selling, explaining and so on. I also have close friends in the other industries I mentioned who have told us similar stories about their commission-based jobs. In short, EDC or any other company is not ripping its members off by using such a compensation plan. Those 2 sales are simply considered training sales. Not to mention, as a sponsor I have the choice of giving one or both of those to my members as \"qualifiers.\" That means that I might only require them to pass up one sale, or none at all. It really depends on the individual and the situation. http://www.incomecycle.com
As for new members being in competition with their sponsors once they qualify, this happens in nearly any business, not just EDC (also happens a lot in all of those industries I mentioned above). Yes, we are all eventually in competition with each other. That is the way business and entrepreneurship work. The thing is that a good sponsor will help to boost up their whole team, not just themselves. The way I view things, I\'m not so much in competition with my team members as we are all in competition with other EDC sponsors and their teams. Occasionally when I do invest in a large advertising campaign, I will opt to distribute the prospects I get from that advertising evenly among all of my team members. This is because I\'m just as excited to see them succeed as I am about my own success (it shows that the EDC program can work for others as well, not just a select few, and I like that). I\'m also a firm believer that there is enough business out here for all of us. I can\'t possibly take on 1000 new members at a time, not when you consider that each of those new members will need individual training, websites, etc. That would become as taxing as an actual job to me. For that reason, I have no problem sharing leads I get with my team members. In that way, we\'re not competing against each other but working together. We all have goals, and I think we\'ll reach them faster if we work together. The other end of this is that I am not a member of the highest Gold membership. Some may think that limits the amount of money I\'m able to earn. This is the farthest thing from the truth, as I\'ve been able to strike up partnerships with other EDC members who are at the Gold level. When I get a prospect that is interested in joining at that level (and I\'ve gotten quite a few), I simply refer them to one of the other EDC members that I know well and who will be good sponsors for that prospect. In return for the referral, that other EDC member may see fit to share a bit of that sale, or provide some other useful service or tool. I have found that you\'re more apt to succeed in business when you can form mutually beneficial partnerships with your \"competition.\" I would say that\'s about as much \"synergy\" as you can achieve in business, everyone working together but still achieving their own individual goals and earning the incomes they want to earn. It really all comes down to choosing a dedicated sponsor who won\'t view you as their \"competition\" in a few weeks time, but will view you instead as a partner and friend!
And besides, with our products and packages being of a higher ticket, our rewards are greater than those 0-ups that are lower paying programs. That means we all earn more, and we all benefit more!
