Options
Anyone on here a distributor,if so anything to say about them,good or bad.

Comments

  • Jimm I have just joined the utility warehouse. In today's climate it's got to be good. The people who I have supporting me above are great. All the people I am speaking to are positive about it and best of all I most probably will make a few quid a long the way to make my life a little easier. Even if it means I am earning enough to pay my own bills it has got to be worth a try hasn't it???

    Hiya, I have been a customer of theirs for nearly 3 years and whilst there has only been one problem (with my gas meter) and charging for wrong meter it did eventually get sorted and I got all my over payments back. Otherwise have had no problems with Gas, Elec and phone, thinking of going back to them for phone as BT been horrendous!! My mum and all her friends are with them and none of them have had any problems x

    UW distributors aren't allowed on here without saying who they are and declaring their interest.

    Too many of their people have tried coming on here posing as delighted customers.

    Luckily we know the truth, and it is available for all to see in the appropriate threads.

    I have been a Distributor with them for a number of years. I know some people who have worked hard and earned a more than excellent living. I know some people who have done a little work in the past and still get paid monthly (me being one). I know one person who worked hard, earned a more than excellent living and has joined another company in a completely different product line because he gathered more customers but saw his earnings drop. I have joined the same company as him.

    The Utility Warehouse is in business to earn money for the shareholders. The Distributors do not get paid if they do no work, so the company is in it's own win-win situation. Having said that, Distributors do get paid for gathering customers and keep getting paid a small percentage of what the customers pay for their utilities. One can earn a good living. But, there are other companies with better compensation plans whose policies and procedures are more Distributor friendly.

    As to the utilities UW offer, they may be good value for some people. They are the best deal for me in my location and situation. Many others find alternative providers to be cheaper.

    If you are looking at MLM/network/referral marketing to make some money, make sure that you can happily endorse the products/services. Look carefully at the policies and procedures and as some companies hide nasties in really long boring tomes. Make sure that you are happy with what you will be paid. Look for a good training and support package. Reputable companies will train you for minimal or no cost, and, give easy access to support if you have questions. Your "supporters" will not do the work for you though. MLM is not a way to get rich quick but it can eventually be a way to earn a good living and still spend quality time with family and friends.

    I hope this helps.

    You cynically quote me out of context using an unnecessary font.

    This is what I actually posted:

    If you don't like the rules, then don't sign up.

    Or accept the rules, sign up and then try and get them changed.

    But to sign up, accept the rules then just break them is bound to cause upset.
