how is the commission divided up between the various levels of salesmen?

According to my mate the amount they recieve for each customer in their group varies depending on what level they have reached,and if they have met thier targets.

Apparently whilst their are approximately 30,0000 plus distributors some dont sign anybody up at all, some dont even do their training so they cant sign anyone up , a lot dont even qualify so they dont get infinity payments.

The lowest qualified level gets between 0.2% and 0.6% on all of their group customers,depending on the service taken.This increases slightly if you progress up the Golden Stairway,as someone once described it to me.

i joined up through my mortgage broker, whom i have been with for the past 3 years, they basically phoned and asked about the usual aspects of life insurance, building contents and whom my gas and elec supplier was with. I have to add that it is only my elctricity that is with UW as they wouldnt take my gas as its a card meter.

will post my next bill

Hi everyone im currently with utility warehouse and a high user spending 97 pounds a month via direct debit with them, After finding this excellent site my eyes have opened ever so slightly too the options available to me as a customer, When i signed through my sisters boyfriend i was promised cheap rates and good service so signed up right away on the spot but have steadily had my direct debits increased and most years have too make up a shortfall at the end of the year my thoughts were they must just be going up like everyone elses bills are in the uk, Imagine my suprise when i tried one of the price comparison websites and it came back with eon being able too cut my bill by 374 pounds a year over the warehouse is this possible? When i quizzed my sisters boyfriend he said you need to be very carefull as firms quote different rates kwhp for different parts of the quartly bill and utility warehouse is just a flat 11.053 per kwh? I find the way companies use differing ways to charge for there services a mine field and almost impossible to compare like for like my question i suppose is could i be looking at making these types of savings and are the standard yearly contracts most firms require ok to go onboard with in the present climate. And are the comparison websites really accurate in there estimations of potential savings.
Thanks for reading my first reply and happy new year!:money:

Welcome to the forum.

The comparison websites are totally accurate if you enter your consumption in kWh.

You don't say what services you get from UW. Gas and electricity? Phone/internet mobile?

If you just get gas and electricty and pay UW £97 a month, you probably use about the average UK consumption(20,500kWh gas and 3,300kWh electric), although you may well be on UW's High User tariff.

Without knowing your exact split of gas and electricity consumption in kWh(and know the area you live) it is not possible to verify that you will save £374 a year, although gas and electricity savings of that magnitude are certainly possible.

As you only refer to electricity at a flat rate of 11.053p/kWh it would appear you live in the Manweb area. Making the assumption that you only use electricity. I entered a consumption of 10,000kWh for a postcode in that area. For that consumption UW's cheapest tariff is indeed their High User tariff and they charge £1,232 a year.

E-On would charge £845 so that is indeed a saving of £387 a year - so UW are 45.8% more expensive.

What your sister's boyfriend neglected to tell you is that the 11.053p/kWh is the price before VAT and you pay a £4.20 monthly charge.

Unfortunately you are a quite typical UW customer, duped into paying high prices by a friend.
