If that's the case, it's probably very profitable to all concerned, after all, the pyramids have loads of roof area, and there's shitloads of sun. Count me in.

You criticise Billywhy for coming on here and criticise his product and you are entitled to, but just stop for a minute to think. ARRSE raised funds to keep homeless ex-servicemen off the street over christmas yet some members criticise those who offer jobs that may prevent a few of our members and/or their families from becoming homeless.People are losing homes, jobs, everything they tried to build is dwindling due to our economic state. A little two-faced on your part don't you think? This isn't even the Naafi.

I don't know Billywhy and he doesn't know me, but at least he came here to offer us an opportunity. Thanks Billywhy. Ignore the idiots.

He's not offering a job.


It's a self employed business opportunity.

It's still a job. Check the dictionary if you feel you need to be pedantic.

You must all live in great areas and see no hardship whatsoever. Work is work for a lot of people - any money no matter how little can make a difference to a lot of families. Must be great to live in the Utopia you do.

I wonder whats happened to this site. It's nothing like it used to be.

Probably correct but then most of these systems are fcuked after five years and need replacing ,are the directors of your company offering personal guarantees on the longevity of your products?

Youd have to be nuts to give up your giro to go and work on commission only , its not a job, its an opportunity for a self employed rep to add something to his list of similar goods he is already selling.

Now, even I know that 3 hours at £25 an hour does not equate to £100+. Care to back your figures up?

Commission only is only frightening for people who have no intention of going to work.

Go to work, work hard you'll earn good money, no one decides how much you are worth, how much they are going to pay you, you make that decision yourself.

If you have been used to the payday and making your money last, then its probably not for you. If you are ambitious, keen to work hard and enjoy good paydays, commission only is for you. Also a company who has a good commission only rep / salesman working for them will soon throw other benefits their way to keep them from going elsewhere.

Don't be frightened of commission only, go out and work hard, you'll need to be well motivated and not be frightened of blanking for a few days, if you stay at it, the rewards and income are very much there. Put in the overtime, you'll soon realise its much better and much more than a bit of poxy time and a half and a day off in lieu.

All of the above said, its not for everyone, some like the comfort of a set salary, set work hours and need an amount of controlling, not everyone can set the world on fire. Don't see that as a negative. Its these people who will make up the main body of your customer base, so embrace them, quietly mock them and nick their sky remote, knowing they may have to wait until payday to replace it :D

If its not for you, don't have a go, but please don't scoff at someone who has got off his arrse and made an effort to better himself and offer work, on a work forum to ex soldiers. Its in the right forum, aimed at the right people.

Commission-only sales. You need to be aware that the more efficient you are at your job, the faster you're going to make yourself redundant. Also, as time goes on, you'll need to work further afield and start treading on other people's patches, as they will do to you.

Commission only is a way of transferring risk from the company to the individual - the company only has to pay out if and when the individual makes a sale. In the mean time, the individual is incurring travel costs, telephone bills, etc...

There are a number of reasons that companies adopt the commission only method but generally its because the financial model can't stand the costs of employing a sales force. The products can also be a little questionable on quality or a bit over-priced for what they are. Selling commission only also tends to require high pressure sales techniques - often applied to the more gullible or vulnerable. (My ex-brother in law quit selling commission only vacuum cleaners because selling them to people who couldn't really afford them began to prey on his conscience).

If you are in need of a little extra income on top of your present job, it may be worth giving commission only selling a try, but my personal opinion is that its one hell of a risk to rely on it for your main source of income.
