    Also this sophisticated "Home Business Mentor" can't be wanting to mentor people into how to sell "the best value gas and electricity in the UK" just because (Keggs like) his only motivication is to help others, can he?

    Whatever has happened to your manners during your exile?

    How would you like to be referred to? Is "ex dancing boy" ok?

    You did of course tell us, (when describing to us what you do), you knew nothing about the "nergy" industry, aren't a salesman and only help people to get what they want (which is what I said!)
    I don't know anything about the nergy industry. I don't need to - that's the point. That's not my job because I'm not a salesma......................

    I have no intention of being a salesman. As such I have no interest in tariffs. Very few distributors are. And to ask that we should is ridiculous.

    What matters is helping people get the right product for their needs and helping them and looking after them; dealing with their problems if any should arise.

    I see you have returned to tell us how very happy you are with the UW, when your posts elsewhere on the net actually say you are in fact so unhappy with the UW who you feel "offer the worst energy prices" (your words),that you confess to being "very uneasy at offering uw energy to potential customers". (your words again)

    Why come here and lie to us about being so happy?

    It's hard to believe they don't make their money out of signing up distributors rather than signing up gullibles for their expensive energy![URL="http://"][/URL]

    You know full well they dont make any money for signing people up,because if they did it would be illegal. If they did l i guess you would be first person to seize on it.:D

    Those videos (together with others we have seen) do seem to show that the big money is made by signing up distributors rather than selling the expensive energy to gullibles. They no doubt don't do anything illegal - but watch the videos and see for yourself!

    We are down to semantics here - they clearly do make money for signing people up - that is the whole reason they are keen to recruit distributors.

    Indeed they receive income and a bonus for signing distributors.

    Multi level marketing is legal:
    Some network or multi-level marketing businesses, which sell real products and rely on the price differentials between the manufacturer's dispatch ramp and the retail counter, may verge on the borderline between "smart" and "scam". However, legitimate network or multi-level marketing businesses can be distinguished from illegal pyramids by their compliance with these three criteria:
    1. Substantial sales of products or services to end users
    2. Commissions paid only on product usage, not on new enrollments
    3. Company buys back the inventory of terminating participants

    UW's MLM operation is quite legal, so I am not sure what we are discussing.

    Lets make things clear.

    They DONT make money just for signing people up. They DO get a cut of the person they sign ups personal and group customers monthly bills, and when they reach certain targets. To do this they thereselves must also be active and sign up a certain amount of customers,or reach certain targets.Lots of people that sign up as distributors are not active and just sign themselves up,and some dont even do that.

    Payments or rewards based upon matters other then completed sales would make the operation illegal.

    Its obviously not a illegal operation.

    They dont get a penny for signing people up as distributors.

    You really should check your facts before posting.;)
