Boosts Agents’ Income |
|
 Like
any commissioned sales job, Real Estate sales can be unstable
from time to time. With Real Estate sales and home values
declining in today’s market, more agents are finding
that they cannot count on earning a decent income every month.
For this reason, starting a network marketing business is
an excellent way to supplement a Real Estate career.
Both Real Estate sales
and network marketing require good people skills. A successful
Real Estate agent builds many relationships over the course
of his or her career, making it easy for them to introduce
network marketing products or services to their existing and
future clients. Conversely, once agents acquire new clients
through their network marketing business, they can offer their
Real Estate services to those clients as well.
There are many network
marketing opportunities that could potentially bring new streams
of revenue to an agent’s business. Here are a few that
have brought success to agents around the world.
Zurvita
Zurvita's product line caters to the average consumer. By
using a discount card called CareSaver, individuals save money
at many different stores. They also receive cash back on purchases
made through an online mall, which includes stores like Target,
Dell and Staples. In addition, customers are eligible for
discounted travel and cash back on booked trips through an
online discount travel booking engine.
The founder of Zurvita,
Mark Jarvis, understands what customers and representatives
desire. Before launching Zurvita in 2008 with his wife Tracy,
he worked as a network marketing representative. This experience,
he says, gave him a firm understanding of how to lead his
representatives to success.
While Real Estate agents
can benefit from the discounts offered to individual customers,
it is more profitable to join Zurvita’s network marketing
program. For a one-time fee of $329, agents can become a Zurvita
marketing representative and start earning commission for
promoting and selling the company’s product line. Marketing
representatives receive a professional marketing kit, company
training, full back-office support, and organization and commission
reports.
An agent can also choose
to become a Zurvita sales representative for a one-time fee
of $99. Sales representatives qualify for all of the same
bonuses and commissions available to marketing representatives,
but they operate as independent representatives.
American Communications
Network
 ACN
is another network marketing company that offers ways for
Real Estate agents to boost their incomes. The ACN product
line includes low-cost telephone, Internet, and wireless services,
as well as digital and video phones. The company says it is
the largest direct seller of communication products.
ACN was founded in 1993 by
Greg Provenzano, Robert Stevanovski, Mike Cupisz, and Tony
Cupisz. The company includes more than 1,000 employees around
the world and is publicly endorsed by Donald Trump as a great
business opportunity. To become an ACN representative, agents
pay a one-time fee of $499, which includes the franchise,
promoter, and trainer's license, allowing you to recruit customers
from any of the 19 countries where ACN provides services.
It also gives you access to the company’s customer service
representatives, meaning that once you recruit your customers,
ACN takes care of them. The company also provides promotional
tools and an online office, where you can find marketing tools,
forms, and support.
Financial Destination,
Inc.
“FDI can give you a supplemental income that can far
exceed a Real Estate agent’s current income,”
says Carl V. Collins, a representative for FDI. “FDI
representatives are paid weekly for clients who sign up, as
well as getting monthly residuals on the same clients. FDI
will assist a Real Estate agent’s clients by providing
solutions to raise your client’s credit score so that
they can qualify for better loans. The Real Estate agent will
be notified once the client reaches a preset credit score.
This allows the agent to work with them again in a few short
months, so they will get paid three times from the same client.”
FDI representatives offer
their clients a variety of products and services, including
debt elimination, credit restoration, and identity theft protection
services. For Real Estate agents, this opens many windows
of opportunity for representatives to gain new clients. “Many
occupations such as policeman, firefighter, and highway patrol
officers require a high credit score to even be eligible for
hiring consideration,” says Carl. “Once you assist
someone to get a high-paying job, you will have a probable
client in the future.
“Also, in this Real Estate market, many people are not
selling or refinancing their homes unless forced to do so
due to financial hardship,” adds Carl. “But many
still want better FICO scores. Many still want to eliminate
debt and protect their identity. You are the agent who made
all of this possible for your clients through FDI, and you
got paid to do it.”
In conclusion, there are many network marketing opportunities
available to Real Estate agents who want to supplement their
incomes. As an agent, it is important to take the time to
decide what type of product you are interested in and could
be passionate about. It is a good idea to look for a product
that requires that it be renewed monthly, which would ensure
that you get paid every month. This could result in a steady
residual income for you to add to your monthly Real Estate
commission check.
