The Day One
Document
I wrote this document a couple years ago in an effort to properly welcome new IBOs to the AmeriPlan ® family. There are alot of IBOs in this company that market the business opportunity to be something it isnt. I want my downline to learn how to make this business work for them, not the other way around.

Section 4 of 12
So, Why Are We Any Different?
AmeriPlan ® differs from most other MLMs in a lot of different ways, I will try to keep my points to a minimum, but the differences are great and you never know what
specifically will turn someone off to AmeriPlan ® just because they think we are like those other companies. In the 1990s, MLMs really got popular due to a few well known companies. They were set up as a pyramid system (It’s changed since a law was passed to ban it, now it’s an MLM, but most people remember it before the change). In a
pyramid system a percentage of all sales flowed up the upline all the way to the top of the chain. So the only
people who actually got rich were the people at the very top. The larger the pyramid got, the smaller the chance of any real success became at the bottom.
AmeriPlan ® is a Multi Level Market
(MLM) system. In an MLM the money does not flow all the way to the top of the chain. Your income is determined by what you put into it, not where you are in the one almighty chain. Once in these pyramid companies your job is to peddle household cleaning supplies, usually door to door, to people who probably already have favorites at the grocery store (you know like Gain and Windex). Oh yeah and since no one wants to wait for shipping to get the supplies they
want from you, you need to order (and pay-for yourself) a good healthy stock of these supplies should anyone need them. As long as you are in the pyramid, you should also take advantage of the
savings by buying all of your own household cleaners. So after the $250 start up fee, plus the $300 stock of cleaners, plus the $50 each month for your own cleaning supplies, you’re in $600
before you realize that you really need to convince people that they need this stuff and that’s the type of sales that you swore you would never do.
AmeriPlan ® offers a service in the form of
health and dental care and doesn’t require you to buy an inventory yourself in order to sell the program to anyone at any time. We don’t have to convince people that they need our service, they already know
that, show them a provider list and a fee list along with the information and printed material mentioned in the first chapter and then let them make up their mind.
So it’s easy to see that most early MLM’s and pyramids were set up for the company to make big profits off the brokers and very little from a real customer base. You paid
$600 to find out it was exactly what you hoped it wasn’t. And when you decided to quit selling, even if you had some success at it, all income would therein stop.
AmeriPlan ® is set up for the
IBOs first, and then the company to profit from the much larger member base. You receive $6 per month for every family member that you enroll for as long as they remain a member. But AmeriPlan ®
will actually pay you for the first six months worth of commission up front, so you get $36 in the form of a check issued and mailed the next day. They are willing to do this because they believe
that you will continue to bring in more members and the member you signed will stay a lot longer than six months.
