I know it has been a while since I've spoken about ZERO1, Buzzirk Mobile, and Global Verge, but I've been seeing so much of the new Buzzirk Mobile, called Global Mobile 1. To give a little background, almost one year ago all the buzz (forgive the pun) was about a new mobile phone that was going to turn AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile on it's head. Supposedly, this new phone was going to be able to do things that have never been done before. Example, one of the features it had was 5G technology (that has not even been invented yet)that would allow you to download a 2 hour movie in 3 minutes! Another feature was that you would be able to see the other person you are talking to, and they would be able to see you in real time through the phone. The cost was going to be $79.99 per month and that included unlimited talk, text, data, and worldwide calling. The parent company, Global Verge, started recruiting the masses for this "new phone", and got 40,000 recruits in 6 weeks! After many falsefied launch dates, the whole thing ended up being a huge scam, and noone got or saw a phone, and noone got the commissions that were due to them!
Well, it looks like they are at it again with Global Mobile 1. It is the latest and greatest out of the same company, Global Verge. This has become a huge disappointment to those people that got recruited into Global Verge expecting the phone that was originally touted, because this "new phone" is nothing more that a phone and plan that you get through Boost Mobile! In fact it's a little more expensive than the boost phone, with worse coverage, and inferior phones.
When are these guys guys going to give it up! If you are considering joining this company I would strongly urge you to do your homework on the prepaid plans that are being offered through independent carriers such as Boost, and Next Tag.
LATEST DEVELOPMENT ABOUT GLOBAL VERGE AND GLOBAL MOBILE 1:
To all our Global Group members
We as a group are all faced with the current dilemma in Global Verge.
Global Group was founded for the purpose of supporting everyone in Global Verge.
Substantial financial and time resources were poured into TeamGG and these were offered as a benefit to all members of Global Verge free of charge.
Global Group did this because we were proud to introduce what we believed was the best opportunity anywhere.
Despite questionable business decisions that continuously plagued our progress, we steadfastly protected our businesses, our company and the integrity of its owners.
Despite the efforts of the finest leaders this industry has ever seen, the cracks started to appear: Misleading and inaccurate statements concerning future technology, hardware, training, sales aids, customer service efficiency, satisfactory provisioning, supposed MVNO status, to name only a few.
Further, an absolutely stunning lack of communication with all of the top leaders in the field, something that until now, had been completely unheard of in our industry.
Would we have wanted it otherwise? Of course we would have.
Global Group remains here to help all of you.
We have received hundreds of letters from the field expressing frustration with not receiving SIM cards, not having SIM cards activated,
receiving used phones instead of new phones, no data, no customer service, unpaid commissions etc.
We want you to know that Global Group has not forsaken you and we ask that you submit to us all of your concerns
and questions on any and all unresolved issues, no matter how long ago they occurred, so that we can get your resolutions escalated immediately.

It looks like the "ZER01" phone came out yesterday, launched by their partner Pervasip. Vox is a subsidiary of Pervasip:

OK, first of all, the link to the cnnmoney article never mentions anything about Global Verge, or Global Mobile 1. Secondly, why would people pay $69.99 per month for basically a "VOIP" phone that is inferior quality to a cell phone, when they can get it for the same price with no 2 year commitment through T-Mobile, with a superior quality!
ReplyDeletehttp://90recruitsin90days.com
I can never understand why people write blogs as if they're the expert on a subject and get 9 out of 10 facts wrong. You'd better wise up to the Global Mobile 1 service, because they've already taken thousands of customers from the "big guys" in just the last two weeks. You can choose which network you'd like to activate on: either GSM or CDMA and you can keep your own phone if you like or buy a new one.. including iphones, blackberry storms or whichever kind you'd like to use. The service has excellent quality and has cut the phone bills of those using internet, data, emails, text and voice almost in half. I cut my monthly Verizon bill from $169 to $79.99 The service is Prepaid, flat rate, no contracts, no hidden taxes or fees, no credit checks and no extra tethering charges when attached to my laptop. Now what's so bad about that?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Rebecca why would people do that ! I think they do know the facts and they just arrange them to suit their own NEEDS ! THEY ARE RUNNING SCARED ! Global Verge is for real and will sit alot of people on their ear !
ReplyDeleteBob
Kool aid drinkers!!!!!
ReplyDeleteC'mon Directv, you really want us to believe that you sold 340 phones?? Who did you sell them to? My friend is a manager of one of the biggest T-Mobile stores in our area, and he doesn't even sell 340 phones in a month! Why would anyone buy a Global Mobile, Buzzirk, Zero 1 phone when they could get a better cheaper phone and plan at their local T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Boost, or even Go Phone retail store. Wake up people, these phones are way overhyped!!!

I am a rep in GV and the shit is a joke.. any1 of you members who is talking crazy should contact me on their GV unit.. R.Merced@hmail.com that company is so weak.. simple mobile is the shit and GV needs to pay out or play out...

@ Papa Osso, lol what do you mean by that???? I'm about as conservative as they come!! I voted for McCain. How did you come up with that "off the wall" comment??
ReplyDeleteI haven't yet become a customer of Global Mobile 1 but I have been really considering it.
ReplyDeleteI am with Sprint and I would like to cut my bill from $125 to $79 (who wouldn't) One thing I like is I can bring my phone and number with me. Even after paying the early termination fee I would save $400 over the term of the left over contract. Is this company bad to work for or do business with?
@Jessica, Verizon now offers an unlimited talk and text plan for $69.00 per month with no 2 year commitment with number portability!
ReplyDeleteI worked with VZW for years in the corporate office and can tell you from my experience with Global Mobile 1 that the quality is just as good if not better.
ReplyDeleteAs far as comparing apples to apples the $69.00 VZW plan is comparable with the $49.99 GM1 plan with no contract and the number portability was an act put in place for LEC's ILEC's and mobile carriers so everyone has the ability to do this.
GM1 uses either GSM or CDMA technology and comparing GM1 to BOOST is totally wrong because BOOST uses iDEN technology which is no comparison.
It looks as though you were waiting to see if they could do what they promised, well I have been on GM1 since prior to Thanksgiving and I have better service than I did prior. I was with one of the 4 major carriers and I couldn't carry a conversation inside my office now I don't drop any calls. I have been paid for everything I have done.
ReplyDeletethey cant activate anymore chris greco pulled the plug.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about this whole thing. I went to an interview with GM1 and it kinda seems too good to be true. If they really can do what they say then fine. However, I am waiting to see if their this "fly by night" organzation. I'm not sure I trust this company.
ReplyDeleteDefinetly too good to be true. This is a fly by night organization and you can now get a cheaper plan through a trusted network like Verizon with no 2 year commitment. I would stay away. What did you mean by "went to an interview with GM1"? Are they representing themselves as a company that is hiring for positions?
ReplyDeleteAfter waiting 8 weeks for a sim card from GM1 it finally arrived. On a credit card sized card with a sim that punches out. I left GM1 after being charged for the sim waiting a couple of weeks with no response. I removed the GM1 paper labels from the front & back of the card & cleaned the sharpie cover to find that the card is a Simple Mobile card. Their web address is www.mysimplemobile.com. This company just launched in Nov 09 according to phonescoop.com. I am very fortunate to have found another home and am rid of the subterfuge that pours out of Global Verge.
ReplyDeleteThe $69/mo Verizon plan is not a full-blown plan. I have Verizon unlimited talk/text for $119/mo and have ALL the bells and whistles. The $69/mo plan does not have ALL the features i.e. 3-way calling being one of them.
ReplyDelete90recruitsin90days, where are you getting your information from. It appears you do not have all the details regarding GV/GM1. Very unprofessional to bash another company, especially with incorrect information.
ReplyDeleteMike, I have thoroughly looked into Global Mobile 1, and know a lot of information that you probably don't know. I can't believe they still allow a fraudster like Mark Petchel to still run the company, after all the securities indectments.
ReplyDeleteSELLING A PHONE DOESNT MEAN IT GOT DELIVERED!!!!

TJENTERPRISES2003@YAHOO.COM
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is that I hung on with Global Verge for quite some time from the very begining. I did drink the kool aid, and basically they should have had their stuff together from the beginning instead of feeding every one a bunch of un fulfilled promises. After a while a person can only take but so much. Now it is like I don't care if they came out with a phone that could do all of what they originally touted, I would not buy it. It has been a very un professional journey. However, if anyone wants to buy my url, I own www.smartglobalmobile.com let me know! email me at smartglobalmobile@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThe GM1 meeting in Tampa the other night was the announcement that they just got their new MVNO contract. No startup is without back-stabbers like Chris Greco and no company is without people who have made mistakes like Mark Petchel. Now Tim Robbins is in control, GM1 has branding, MVNO status and contracts for a supply of phones. All that is still lacking is the ordering/tracking interface that xennsoft is now building.
ReplyDeleteWhenever anyone can compete with the corporate giants they get attacked by the cronies. It's going to be fun to watch these giants do back-flips trying to keep up with 40,000 member distributors.
If you are currently involved in Global Group, my suggestion is get out and get out fast. It is the latest in a series of scams! The only ones making any money are the 3 or 4 people at the top of the pyramid. Don't waste your money on this group!!
ReplyDeleteMike, You're in the Greenville area. Why don't you come to a meeting before you pass judgment on the new company? WE meet in Powdersville at The Meeting Place on Hwy 81 across from Ingles. By the way, you think Betty Miles would do a scam?? Plz get your facts straight before bashing this regrouped organization, which the marketing arem is known as "People Helping People". You're on my FB, if you need more info.
ReplyDeleteSherry Cain
Mike, I have continually invited you to come out to a meeting-and get the facts! You don't even have the compensation plan right. You posted on my Facebook, you didn't have 20-30 minutes to view a meeting? Then , where are you getting your information? Just a thought. If you will go to www.teamgg.com, you will see a calendar of local meetings-huge one Saturday morning. I really don't think you are malicious-and I think you are bright enough to want the truth. There is no way I could do this business justice in a few sentences on Facebook. Nor am I going to get into a senseless argument over whether it's a scam. I could drop some serious names here-from local to national-very prominent, respected people and professionals who are in the business-but I won't. I would really like to invited you to find out the truth-firsthand!
ReplyDeleteSherry Cain
Greenville SC
@Sherry, Ok here is how I understand it: It's a 3 x 9 matrix, you recruit 3 and they recruit 3. The prepaid plan costs $39.95 per month. The idea is, you make $1.00 from every prepaid plan sold in your downline, so if you have 29,000 people in your downline you are making $29,000 per month. How am I doing so far? The challenge is that Team GG has been around for more than 2 years and they don't even have 28,000 members yet. So if it takes 2 years for a company like team gg to get 28,000 people, how can I possible hope to even get a third of that amount in my downline. The numbers sound great in a powerpoint, but it's easier to dig a hole from here to China when you actually start working it. The only people making money are the heads of Team GG, because let me guess, they charge a $69.00 fee to join Global Group and People Helping People. $69.00 x 28,000 = $1,932,000. Not bad!
ReplyDeleteActually you have that compensation plan a little wrong....but since official details have NOT been released and WILL NOT be released until the prelaunch in May, anything at this point is purely speculation based on the PRIOR company that PHP was birthed out of. When official details are relased, I will be glad to post again with exact figures.
ReplyDeleteThat aside, Team GG was the strongest leg in the prior company and was growing tremendously. Unfortunately, the ball was continuously dropped and we could not continue recruiting people into a failing company. So of course Team GG didn't grow much the last several months. Since so much time, effort and money had been sunk into building a phenomenal team, thankfully TeamGG partnered with investors and another company, People Helping People. Since this all came about, not a dime has been collected for any membership fees, nor will it be until everything is in place and product is available. Everything I have seen so far with PHP has been above board and professionally handled. I as well as several other thousand people are hoping that this thing unfolds just as we're being told. With what we have been through with Globalverge, you better believe that everyone is watching this company like a hawk...especially the potential distributors. You know as well as I do, that with a sound MLM structure, HONEST management and a product that is easily marketed that this is a gold mine.
I have no problems with scams being exposed, I even peridically do research on things I hear on leader calls for PHP, just to make sure that other information isn't leaking out that they aren't telling us. Fortunately, that't not the case and I have yet to find any negative facts about this company or anything that would throw up a red flag.
If you do want me to explain everything that we do know at this point as far as the compensation plan and how the business works, I will be glad to, but like Sherry said, it's way too much to go over in a blog comment.
Rick
@Rick, I appreciate your comments, and you sound like a very bright individual. You must understand the mechanics of MLM in order to understand why Team Global Group had to find another company. Even though Global Verge went belly up, Team GG, or the people at the top, made millions of dollars from having recruited over 28,000 people. It takes years to get that kind of following. It would be silly to give all that up and dismantle the company at this point. That's why PHP came in place. (Now I thought Team GG already announced that they were already up and running. That's interesting that you said they wouldn't launch until Mid-May, sounds like they are up to their old tricks again, but that's besides the point.) If you've 28,000 followers, and every few months you can announce a new company, that everyone will have to pay $69.00 to join plus $39.99 per month, then that's a pretty good gig if you're at the top. Let's do the Math: $69.00 X 28,000 = $1,932,000 up front money, then do $39.99 x 28,000 = $1,119,000 PER MONTH!! That's a $15,000,000 per year operation! Of course they have to tell you that they are looking out for you, and that they are full of integrity. They want you hanging on!
ReplyDeleteFriends don't give these people money. They will make everything sound so good when PHP hits, but it will be more of the same. Delay after delay, promise after promise.
Mike, Haven't had time to respond to your comments of April 15th. Since you haven't been to a meeting-I really don't know where you are getting your "facts". Let me address first, your comments to Rick-that you thought they were up and running-never was that said. Also, on one of your posts-you referenced the "original" name "Newco" That was a code name to prevent misinformation from leaking out. Also, you said it would be "silly" to give up "all that" and dismantle the company. First of all, Global Verge is NOT dismantled. They had a meeting in Greenville SC this past weekend(at the same time we had the meeting at the Garden Hilton).
ReplyDeleteWe are NOT a part of that company, because the product was NOT coming out of Global Verge as promised. Also, the math that you do, on all the profits-yeah, you're right-somebody made that-but it wasn't Global Group! Team GG or Global Group was not at the TOP of Global Verge. They were not the people collecting the $69 and the $39 that you keep multiplying! Global Group also has NOT been around 2 years. It came about last year, and was one of the biggest groups in Global Verge-they got tired of the bs. You also need to do your research better on Betty Miles. Her husband is a former secretary of state of SC. He has recently been ill-but prior to that-was up for a current nomination. Do you honestly think she is going to risk her husband's reputation? I met her in person at one of the local churches. Yes, she is a devout Christian. She's not into scamming people. She spoke at Changing Your Mind Ministries in Greenville a couple of months ago. Introduced her grown son, with much pride, whom she has brought into the business. You think a renowned Christian mother is going to bring her son into a scam? Also, while we're at it, Betty Hinson Phillips-former mayor of Summerton, SC. check out her credentials as well. She is in 2 other books. We have other leaders that are professors at some of SC's leading universities-but I don't have time to keep name dropping. And you want people to believe that all these folks are liars and scammers and cheaters?
www.phpipresentation.info
Now let's talk about the money required to come in. First of all, no money at all has been paid, and will NOT be, until our launch event in Raleigh NC, May 14th. I assume that's what you have been blogging about events to get people excited and take their money? Just to give you a brief overview of where the $79 per person, or $139 per couple does-First of all the Raleigh Convention Center isn't free-don't think so! And the money includes heavy hors d'oervres Friday night, Breakfast buffet Saturday am, dinner Sat nite, a gala event Fri nite with a live band-and bands aren't free either. You couldn't get a good night out in Greenville for that price! Give me a break!
ReplyDeleteAlso, far from just pumping people up, this is our launch event, when the company will actually come into fruition, and the people there will be able to buy their phones that weekend. Up to now, we have just been trying to get the word out on a phenomenal business, and an even more phenomenal group of people. Although pre paid cell phones is the flagstar product, there is so much more in the plans. We have many webinars, 24 hour #'s, and calls 3 times a day 6 days per week, plus websites And, we do NOT need pumping up! We ARE excited! I consider myself very intelligent, I do not jump on every bandwagon, and neither do the folks associated with this group. The people involved right now in our community are business owners-of everything from restaurants, Computer repair, travel agencies, restaurants, even dealers of cell phones. So, I assure you we are not a bunch of idiots, following blindly-"drinking the kool-aid"-and needing a shot of adrenaline at a big event-and we don't believe in Santa Claus. But we do believe in old fashioned entrepreneurship(you must too, selling your book), hard work with a product that is needed, the right price, the right technology at the right time, and a desire to stop living in a rut, and make the American Dream come true!
A side note-What MLM are you involved in?
Also, noticed you dissing Donald Trump's proposed new MLM the other day-now he's scamming as well? Enough said. I am going to put a link to a website, but doubt you will go to it. I really thought you wanted the truth-but you keep hanging on to your outdated arguments and "math"-and erroneous comments, and half-truths about the company. So I truly wish you the best. If you change your mind-you know how to contact us.
Sherry do you know what the following people all had in common:?
ReplyDelete1. Mark Green, former New York public advocate
2. Fred Wilpon Chief Executive of the New York Mets baseball team
3. Sandy Koufax Hall of Fame pitcher
4. Senator Frank Lautenberg, Democrat of New Jersey
5. Larry King, the talk-show host
6. John Malkovich, the actor
7. Larry Silverstein, the New York developer
These were just some of the very reputable and highly esteemed individuals that got pulled into the Bernie Maddoff Ponzi Scheme. I am sure there are lots of reputable people involved in Team GG and PHP, and many of them are Christian. Just because reputable people are getting involved in a certain company doesn't make it legit. They just have the reputation, and are able to attract lots of people in, simply by their name. Why do you think Betty Miles made $9,000,000 in Excel? It wasn't that Excel (now bankrupt) was anything special, it's just that she used her husband's name and influence as an SC congressman to win over all their friends and family (which were very many). The challenge with many MLMs is the fact that most average people don't have that kind of reputation and influence to get the number of people involved that it takes to make any kind of real money. Add to that the fact that PHP has not been proven or time tested, and very few people know the inner workings of it, make it a very risky scheme. Hope that clears up some things.
Mike, I Am familiar with that, and him being prosecuted.He fooled friends, neigbors, and close associates, and his mind has been compared by professionals as that of a serial killer-in how it worked.He became so greedy for wealth that he didn't care who he trampled or hurt in the process. So, let's please, not compare a criminal with what we're talking about, ok? Your statement"just because reputable people get involved in a certain company doesn't make it legit" is true. Neither does it make it a scam. But I had much rather partner up with reputable people, wouldn't you?
ReplyDeleteYou spoke of reputation, and that Betty Miles just cashed in on her husband's fame.You also said Excel wasn't anything special. You have got to be somewhat "a cut above the others" to go from an obscure small start up company, to end up 4th in the major carriers, which was where Excel was. Betty Miles is a very talented woman, business wise and professional-in her own right. But let's talk about "ordinary" people, people no one knew. Let's talk about Beth Hinson Phillips. She came in as a struggling single mother of 3(I think 3, might be 2-so plz don't say I'm lying)just looking for a way to stay a step ahead of the bill collectors. Neighbors shunned her, because she was always having her lights turned off, then paying the past due amount to get them back on, etc. Until she joined Excel. She skipped her home pymt to get into the business. It was almost $500 to get in. So she had to make it work. Sheer determination coupled with desperation! She didn't have famous friends, no reputation, but she ended up being the top woman entrepreneur for 3 years straight, featured in many magazines, 2 books! Bought a lot of things too. Things she had never had. Mercedes, even a plane(she has since sold). Then the same neigbors that had shunned her began to take notice. Seems the town was in bad financial trouble. Beth, being the kind of person she was-bailed them out. Because of her concern for the town, and willingness to ptu $ in it-she began to gain respect. Eventually she was elected mayor of Summerton, SC. and she was a high school drop out. So, please don't tell me "ordinary" people can't make it! No, not everyone is going to make the kind of $ she did, but not everyone is going to work like she did, or have the ambition she did. I have sat down and talked with this woman. she is real. And I consider her one of my friends.
Now, let's go to Excel again, since you brought it up-and "ordinary" people. Paul Orberson, who retired before he was 40, with an income of over a million(yes, that's 6 zeroes) per month(not year)-helped turn Excel, a "non-proven", "non-time-tested" "new" company into a multi billion dollar business. Was he well-known? No, he was a history teacher, looking for some pt income! It took him 3 years to average $2500 per month. But that was good $ back then-it is now! Especially for part time. In 4 years, his work began to pay off-he was making a million per month. He had predicted that if Excel was ever traded publicly-it would go bankrupt. And it did-shortly after he left the company for a short retirement. He has since got back into MLM, with Fortune. Although I think their startup and continuing costs are to much for the average person-the company is not a scam. Although their compensation plan cannot touch what PHP offers, they are still not a scam. On the contrary, there are many MLM companies that are working for the people involved. A prime example is Monavie. although I don't want to sell that much vitamin juice a month, some people do-I have a great friend-he's in his 20's-and nothing special about him-except he's almost retired-with an impressive income! So, please don't tell me it can't be done by ordinary people.
ReplyDeleteIf pople could make it in Excel with a whopping $500 to even get in- and with most people's mindset stuck on the 3 "well-known" carriers"-I have no doubt PHP will flourish-and those of us that have the right mind set and a clear vision of what's ahead-will see our dreams accomplished.
Let's go to your comment about most people can't make it in MLM. Then, can you pray tell me, why you authored a book, called 90 recruits in 90 days? Either you believe in MLM, or you don't. By the way, when did your book come out? Is it "tried", "proven" over the years? with who? Who has bought it? Used it successfully: and if they did use it to recruit successfully,were their recruits scammed? I find it interesting that you would continuously put this company down, yet author such a book. Good think Col Sanders didn't subscribe to your "proven" "tried" theory at age 65-we wouldn't have KFC's. "Curves" was a new concept-I personally know the founders of it. but it succeeded. Most all new brick and mortar businesses are a gamble. In fact, a large % of them fail in the first 2 years. But that doesn't stop people from putting legs to their dreams and trying. None of start up businesses are "tried" and "proven", except franchises, where all the work was done previously, by trial and, yes, error. and it cost a small fortune to get involved. I personally wanted to get into a Monkey Joe's franchise. Cost? $500,000! So, the average worker is suck in a rut unless they do something out of the ordinary. Like take a product they truly believe in, a phenomenal group of people,and a belief that the timing for the product is right-plus add a combined experience in MLM and networking of 200 years(that's what our leaders have), add determination, ambition, and a vision to change not only their lives, but lives around them-and you have what we proudly call, "PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE"
ReplyDeleteI hope this clears up some things.
Just to clear up some other things- you don't need to know a whole town-to succeed. You can talk to as many people that you want-but we have a 3x9 Forced unilateral matrix- That means you only need to introduce it to 3-that's 3-not 30, not 300, just 3! That's what makes it some simple!
ReplyDelete@Sherry, Excel was definetly nothing special. You mentioned that it became the 4th largest carrier in the country. That sounds good, except when you consider the fact that there were only 5 long distance companies out there at the time, then that's not that great of an accomplishement. When you say "ordinary" people can make it big as the examples you gave me, I beg to differ. There is NOTHING ordinary about the people you speak of. I don't doubt Beth Hinson's story one bit, or any of the other's stories, but look at their personalities. They are HIGHLY driven, motivated, very good people skills, and able to speak to large crowds as if it's nothing. That doesn't fit the bill of the average person you are trying to recruit. In fact, less than one percent of the population can be like them. That's why it takes recruiting masses of people to find that needle in the haystack. If you are just the average Joe, that doesn't have much of a personality, is shy, and doesn't have a high self-esteem, they will not make it in this or any MLM. I've just described the majority of people out there. You will have to recruit no less than 500 people to find a Betty Miles, or a Beth Hinson Phillips, and that's the flaw with most MLM's. The product and the comp plan might be terrific, but it usually requires finding superstars to help you get to the top. That can be a very long and hard journey.
ReplyDeleteMike.
ReplyDeleteBetty Hinson Phillips started out as a beaten down single mother-emotionally drained, with no self confidence, just desperation. Just like a lot of people in today's economy-frantic, desperate, laid off, with no hope. But desperation can drive people one of 2 ways-down-into depression-or up-where they can achieve things they never thought were attainable. But now they know they have got to sink or swim. Beth has, and still does-devour books that build her up-books I am sure you are familiar with. She says she is not the same scared person she was in Excel. She tells of the flip chart, and not being able to follow the script-but sheer determination got her through it. Also, my friend in Monavie, is a very introverted person. He does most of his recruiting online. You are correct in one thing, however. The majority of the population does not have enough faith in themselves to be free from living from 9-5 for years and years and years, and retiring with just over the poverty level. We can't reach everybody. But we can reach a lot. And some that wouldn't listen when times were great-will listen now.
And a side note-why can't the shy, low self-esteem people buy your book-90 recruits in 90 days? Guaranteed?
Wouldn't that solve their problem? Just asking. and what if you did, hypothetically, have to go through 500 people to find just 3 that want to work(and I have already found more than that without going though 500)? Wouldn't that payoff be much greater than a regular JOB-which I call Just Over Broke? where someone else calls all the shots, decides what you're worth, when you can take a vacation, etc.?
I have not meant for this to turn into a long argument. I am convinced it will work. But, I could not stand by and read all the negative comments and misinformation about this company, and also slander to good people-without debating it.
I wish you the best in whatever company you are in. So this will be the last I post regarding People Helping People, Inc.
But I am going to try to help as many people as I can! WE have 14% unemployment in this state. I think PHPI can change that!
Correction: That should be Betty Miles, Beth Hinson Phillips-typing faster than I was thinking:)
ReplyDeleteKudos to you Sherri! Thannks for sharing your passion about PHP. I don't know where 90 gets his info from but as we all know,he is so wrong. That was a big problem with GV. People making statements,because they thought they knew what they were talking about. I will see you in N.C. next month,as we embark on this wonderful journey,with this incredible company.May God bless you with continued success. Valerie
ReplyDeleteSounds Like 90 Is Trying To Get On The Oprah Winfrey Show
ReplyDeleteValerie,
ReplyDeleteThanx for the support. I don't know why he can't see it-or will not even come to a meeting. Beth Hinson Phillips was in Powdersville @ Best Western last week-she did our Tuesday nite meeting, then a Greenville luncheon, and then a Spartanburg meeting. I showed her this blog, she would have been glad to speak with him one on one, and answer any and all questions. anyone can blog and speculate, with misinformation. The way to know the truth-and the compensation plan-is to come see for yourself.
I am getting really excited about Raleigh, as well. Getting close!
@Sherry, If you can show me proof(check stub)that someone, anyone, has been substantial money with PHP, then I'm in. Until then there is no opportunity here.
ReplyDeleteI read this entire string and I don't understand what Team GG has to do with Global Verge or PHP. My understanding is that PHP is a brand new company. Are you saying that the individuals that are launching PHP are the same people that were part of Global Verge at some point but left because Global Verge never came to fruition?
ReplyDelete@Wanda, You got it!!
ReplyDeleteWanda, let me clarify, please. Team GG stands for Global Group. PHPI IS a brand new company. It has nothing to do with Global Verge, as Global Verge-is still around. PHPI stands for People Helping People, Inc. The CEO of PHPI was never in Global Verge. Global Group hung on with Global Verge for a long time, but when promises were broken, and products didn't materialize, they left. Believe me, if anything, they are more skeptical, more aware of ANYTHING that isn't right. Nobody gets into a business to NOT make money! People Helping People, Inc is the marketing arm for Peoplez Wireless-which is the sales end. We will officially launch in Raleigh this weekend. For more information, you can go to www.phpipresentation.info
ReplyDeleteCome on, Mike-you know better than that! No one has any "proof" of pay in pre-launch! The past few weeks have just been a "free ride" to work on your business until it officially rolls out the products. And btw, no one has paid a dime yet! But most of the people here in our Powdersville group, Greenville group, Greer, etc, have already worked on our sponsored group,went to meetings, etc. and we only needed to help 3 who help 3. We are ready to sign up when given the ok- as of right now-no one has paid ANY money! WE have just been talking to people, and educating ourselves on the business and how it works. We have not been allowed to sign up anyone at all. We have taken applications or information sheets on people that are interested, and want to sign up when they allow us.
ReplyDeleteNow as far as your wanting "proof" goes, I will keep you in mind. By a conservative estimate, I plan on making a substantial amount within 3 months. Now you know as well as I do-no one can "guarantee" income in network marketing-because income depends on the effort of the people involved. I would not be doing this-if I thought there was no opportunity!
What kind of mickey mouse organization signs people up on paper applications, with a company that has NO product, and NO website. Again, promises of a future launch date. Sounds like Global Verge and ZERO 1 all over again. Imagine the payout when they finally do claim they have a product, and it will cost $69.99 to join, and $39.99 per month after that. PHPI will already have thousands of people lined up with their credit cards ready to pay.
ReplyDeleteHey 90, are you in the up and up with the latest news on Global Verge?
ReplyDelete@Albert, Haven't heard much in the last couple of weeks. What have you heard?
ReplyDeleteMike, This looks like another senseless argument, which I am going to decline. But for others on here that genuinely would like info on it-we are officially launching in Raleigh NC, this coming weekend@ the Raleigh Convention Center, and yes, we have a product. Now, seems like the problem you had with Global Verge(and rightfully so)was people were paying-each month-and no product. But now you have a company that people have gotten a chance to go to webinars, meetings, build a potential business-with no money upfront-and you still have a problem with it. Far from "Mickey Mouse" shenanigans-most people have welcomed this approach. When it comes time to sign up-and by the way that's $49.00-not $69.99 fyi-the folks that filled out info & decide it's not for them-will simply walk away. The ones that want to pay to come on board will do exactly that. Oh, and by the way-we are not doing credit cards.

Hi Mike-Just an update on the company. We id our official prelaunch in Raleigh as scheduled, where distributors were allowed to buy phones. Everything is coming along as planned. Products(phones, service,air cards, minerals, etc)are available to distributors only right now. Officially,we will launch to the public in October, in Greensboro, NC Greensboro, NC. Here is my website if you want to check it out:
ReplyDeletewww.phpico.com/cainenterprises
Still have some serious doubts about this company. The phones are way too expensive, and the plans are not competive at all!! On top of that, the comp. is very little even with the type of matrix being used. I mean come on, $1.00 per sign up per month? Your team will have to have 5000 - 10,000 sign ups to make it worth your while. You would have a hard enough time finding that many employees for a large company with benefits and a salary. Don't see how this is going to last, and I don't see the opportunity at all.
ReplyDeleteWhy be fooled by "false" start ups? The risk is just too high, even for the possible reward! WAKE UP PEOPLE...Why not go with a 17 year old company that started network marketing wireless phone 2 years ago: http://www.15days.biz I was in Excel. I've seen them all over the last 15 years, and this company is the only one that motivated me to get back in the game. We got 230 reps in 3.5 months...check it out!
ReplyDeleteOK, the wait is finally over! I am now inviting you to join First Choice Savings Network as the launch has begun! Do yourself a favor, stop reading and go join now at http://easystreet.firstchoicesavingsnetwork.com
ReplyDeleteI have invited so many people, even waiting a couple minutes could cause you to be in a lower level. Any level that you join now will turn out well for you because we are so high up in the company, but the higher you are, the quicker you will be earning your maximum of $3,856 per account.
