[MLM Survivors Club] Re: Just flat out too expensive?

Basically, cell phone service has to be $40 a month, or maybe $60 a
month for premium service, and that price may go lower, as much as
companies have tried to product-differentiate, and as much as they
have tried to use tricky pricing plans. It is basically just a
commodity service.

And yeah, 1% sounds way too low for a commission sales person.

PS An older sales person told me, 'I've learned to be very skeptical
of outfits that really emphasize positive thinking.'
