    Same company

    They classed as separate companies by Company House. They may have the same staff, same premises, and one is most definitely owned by the other, but they are individual entities.

    Why they operate in such a fashion? No idea.

    Hi NigeWick, I know where you are going with this, but purely on personal customer gathering, I will always earn more than my sponsor on my PC than he will on my PC (as long as I satisfy the minimum monthly requirements).
    I really do mean total earnings. Some people do very little and sign up a flyer who works hard and earns a lot more than the original upline person.

    We have to state our involvement with the company at least once a day. I also try not to get criticised by making sure I put the information on every page if there's more than one a day.

    Hi Quentin

    Yes, or I did not make myself clear - sorry. Firstly, we do not get paid for recruiting people.

    Secondly, lets say I recruit you. Each customer you gather may pay you £4 per month in commission, but I may only receive £0.50p. So even though I earn from your sales, I get a commission for helping the company grow but will never earn more than you for your own customer gathering efforts. In turn you can earn this smaller commission by building a team and helping the company expand too. Hope this is clearer.

    I think you are right - I wouldn't waste my breath anymore bigots will always be bigots. Anyway - the whole is getting boring now. I'm dizzy going round and round.. I do enough spinning in my normal job. Comi ng is here plainly masochistic:beer:

    Yes, the apology that you owe me.

    It is possible to earn more than the person who signs you up. I have seen it done a number of times within Utility Warehouse and other MLM companies.

    I didn't you would go that far Nigewick and tell Quentin the truth. :T

    For your unknowing information. Telecom plus has other business interests which do not impinge on the UW. I suppose by law they have to record both as being separate. I am not a commercial lawyer but that's my guess.

    So if you are looking for something more sinsiters as usual you are barking up the wrong tree.

    So Keggs, will you now admit that UW are not telecom plus in the eyes of company House?

    Don't worry about breaking your word and doing a Nolan Sisters type comeback. (Keggs promised us he would never darken these pages for fear of embarassing himself, yet has returned again and again)

    Seems he doesn't find this embarrassing at all:

    If you don't get paid for recruiting people why bother?

    And what is the point of flooding the net with videos encouraging people to sign up new reps?
