Vi-Tel Wireless Review
Vi-Tel Wireless Review
Vi-Tel Wireless is a fairly new MLM that has a rather unique compensation model in that it doesn't require its reps to recruit new reps in order to be paid. This fact inspired me to write this Vi-Tel Wireless review.
Vi-Tel sells cellular, security, and satellite services from various affiliates via its representatives' replicated websites. Vi-Tel receives a commission when someone goes through their sales affiliate owner's web site to purchase or upgrade any of their devices or services. Vi-Tel, in return, pays the referring affiliate or website owner a portion of the commissions. Vi-Tel's affiliates include Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-mobile, Clear 4G, Dish Network, and Front Point security.
This selling model obviously has a few advantages for Vi-Tel reps, such as the fact that they don't have to purchase inventory of any product in order to sell. They also do not have any sales quotas to meet. It costs $49.95 to sign up as a Marketing Representative for Vi-Tel, after which there is a recurring monthly fee of $19.95. There don't seem to be any hidden costs to the reps. Representatives are paid commission on their sales and those of new reps they recruit; however, they don't ever have to recruit anyone if they choose not to. This is pretty refreshing, in my opinion. The company is not making bogus claims about how you can make a ton of money just by getting other people to sign up under you.
The only problem I can see is actually getting people to purchase these things from your website. I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to get your family and friends to do so, assuming they were going to purchase it anyway. But after you've gone through family and friends you would have to do some serious promotion to get customers to purchase from your replicated website.
Is Vi-Tel Wireless a scam? I've seen a couple of things online from people claiming that Vi-Tel is a scam because it isn't selling an "actual" (physical) product. In some cases, that has definitely been true (TravelMax,anyone?), but in this case I don't think so. The products and services they are reselling are real, and Vi-Tel isn't requiring its reps to spend inordinate amounts of money to start up. I think the issue really is that the company just started and it will take some time to see if they can get some momentum.
