As I looked into Liberty League as a possibility for a work at home opportunity and did my due diligence, I came across some things that where worthy of passing on.
With the ever increasing cutbacks in Corporate America and all the downsizing taking place more and more people are looking to work from home to break free from the bondage of trading time for dollars or worse yet, another statistic in the downsizing whirlpool. Because of this, many have jumped into some high dollar Companies with no success. Does Liberty League fall into this category? How do they stack up in the home business arena?
Here are some important points that should be examined before jumping in to this company or any other for that matter.
Who is Running the Company?
LLI is based in Scottsdale Arizona with Co founders Brent Payne and Shane Krider at the helm.
What do they offer and what is the price tag to join?
The company sells and markets products in the personal growth and development market for educational and training purposes. To get started with Liberty, a new person must first pay $1495 to become a Liberty League business associate. And that enables that person to start marketing but but not instantly profiting (will explain that shortly) in this program. Other products include the Liberty Conference which is a 3-day personal development seminar priced at $8000 and the Summit Conference which is a 5-day personal development seminar price at $13000.
And more costs!
Also keep in mind that in order to run this business, you need to spend $39.95 a month on the replicated website, $19.95 a month for an 800 number (expensive as I know of many 800 services that are less costly), $99 quarterly to have access to their PROLINK conference system, and at least $200 a month on leads from their self-owned lead company, Extreme Leads.
What is the Compensation Plan?
The business opportunity consists of an Australian 2-Up compensation plan with a payout of $1000 for every sale made by the qualified affiliate. Here is where the not instantly profiting part comes in. The affiliate does not become qualified to receive that $1000 commission till he has passed up the first two sales to his sponsor. This means they must give almost $3500 ( $1000 x 2 + $1495 start up = $3495) before they can earn any money with the program. Another issue with Liberty League's 2-Up program is that if you bring in someone who makes a sale or two per day, you only get their first 2 sales and then you no longer get paid on their efforts. They then breakaway from the sponsor and actually end up becoming the competition. This doesn't give the qualified Liberty League sponsoring associate much motivation to help the new associate since they will ultimately become competition.
In Review
For someone that wants to start a home business this is going to be a rough route to go that has never been in the sales arena. Most people have a tough time and don't want to spend time on the phone calling leads. Also it is discouraging for that newbie to pass up that much money to their sponsor. I would only recommend this to the experienced marketer that does not mind passing up sales.
