I don't know if any of you were on the webinar last night but a question was asked and the answer upset me enough I couldn't sleep. So at 2 am I fired off an email to the CEO, Ron, seeking clarification.
The question was "if an Affiliate upgraded to Vendor then missed a monthly purchase, would they still get paid?" Charles, the VP Sales, quickly answered "No, you would not get paid."
Charles called me first thing this morning to re-assure me that was wrong. You will revert to Affiliate level commissions and still get paid, it's only the bonus pool and deeper downlines you would lose. Any direct referrals and their referrals will still earn you money.
So, if you upgrade and fail as a Vendor you still earn Affiliate commissions. That is 20% on retail and 10% on wholesale plus a 2nd level. No minimum purchases required to remain a free affiliate.
And you are not buying a bunch of junk training or marketing materials. The only thing a Vendor buys is product to resale for 100% mark-up. The Basic Vendor $75 package is $175 of product at retail, or 4x $25 jars and 50 x $1.50 Travel packs.
The Affiliate level is and will continue to be free of charge or gimmicks.

Just2EZ: The product is what got me involved with them in the first place, I tried it an LOVED it. Yeah, I can understand that. It seems like a great NATURAL pain reliever. That's the best stuff to sell - something you believe in!
I was also just pointing out the importance of finding the SOURCE of the symptoms before treating them.
Perhaps you heard of the case this excerpt from AOL news refers to, just as a more extreme example of finding the source for pain or other symptoms: Ex-Miner Finally Free From Pain After Having Tooth Removed From Ear A 47-year-old former miner in Great Britain is finally free from pain after suffering from earaches and headaches for more than 30 years. The cause? Sheffield resident Stephen Hirst had a tooth lodged in his ear.
"I've been plagued with earache since I was about 14," Hirst told the Daily Mail. "It was a sharp jabbing pain, and it just wouldn't go away." Hirst said doctors examined him many times over the years but could never find the cause for his suffering. His pain was so great, he eventually had to give up his career as a miner and go into early retirement.
Hirst never gave up trying to figure out the cause of his ear and head pain, however, and recently sought the assistance of medical staff at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield. Within minutes, a nurse with a suction tube, microscope probe and tweezers cleaned out Hirst's ear only to discover what looked like a baby tooth.
Hirst said he likely stuck the tooth in his ear when he was a child, but he doesn't remember doing so...
Just2EZ: And I couldn't sell Amway to my own mother. hee hee!!!

TJamMoneyMan: finding the source for pain or other symptoms Thanks for bringing that up TJam, because that has been happening with RTPR. With my shoulder pain relaxed the roots went to a cactus needle in my elbow. It formed a calcium deposit that pressed on the nerve/tendon affecting movement. Three months of swinging a pick axe digging bamboo killed my shoulder. Since I've been using this stuff the bump has gone from quarter size to dime size. A lot of that was tight muscles and tendons surrounding the deposit, I'm not suggesting it shrinks calcium deposits but it wouldn't surprise me.
Funny you should mention the tooth story... When I was 3 my brother knocked out my 3 front teeth with a baseball bat. They only found 2 of them, the missing one never grew in so they took xrays when I was 8 or 9. That's when they found the new one above the old one behind my nose. I'll spare you the rest of the story.
RTPR is coming out with a roll-on and a squeeze tube, a great addition. Both my daughters thought it was a great idea and said they prefer it that way. My oldest daughter even signed up as an affiliate after hearing that. She is busy being mommy to a 3 year old while daddy is in school and working. But she worked in physical therapy for 6 years before that and has contacts.
And so it grows. InJoy

TJamMoneyMan: Just2EZ: When I was 3 my brother knocked out my 3 front teeth with a baseball bat. Methinks the source of your pain is bad karma! ROFL! If it was anyone's karma is was my dads. He had his teeth knocked out by a line drive in spring training, and he was pitching to my brother when I got hit, his fear = my pain. I won't deny there was some Cain & Able going on with my brother though, he used me for target practice a lot when we were younger. His karma is patching broken bones for a living.
I had a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time till I was 21. So I packed up and headed to the Grand Canyon and met a girl who changed all that. Now karma has to hunt me down if it wants me, I don't go looking for it.
Talk about being in the RIGHT place at the right time... RTPR has evolved right under my feet and taken me with it. I complained about no residual on wholesales and now it's more than fair. Real Time Pain Relief has an amazing new compensation plan, even at the free level. Any MLM pros out there ought to give it a serious look. I wasn't even looking for another source of income. Now it is becoming my main source without effort. Amazing what good a little pain can do.

While "doing my homework" on Substance P, I discovered the reason for my Joy. A dozen years of research shows Substance P builds up on the brain receptors causing stress, anxiety, and depression, migraines, and even vomiting/gag reflexes. Blocking the receptors with pills only causes more Substance P to be produced. They say it takes 3-4 weeks to bring levels of Substance P back to normal. 81 years after it's discovery it is still one of the least understood problems. Now I know my irrational exuberance has a scientific explanantion.

mrbillydee: TJamMoneyMan: Methinks the source of your pain is bad karma! Too bad they don't make a pill for THAT! Good one! I could sell millions here in Sedona, even placebos probably. I mean, they sell canned "fresh Arizona air" to the tourist here.
OK, once again RTPR has changed the plan in midstream without notice. Well, I noticed anyway. The Wholesale side commission are now a flat 50% of retail commissions. That's a 2% reduction from the previous figures they had advertised. But that 2% is now in a bonus pool commission yet to be explained.
So here's the latest commission schedule ror WHOLESALE sales:
Your own purchases at wholesale : 0% 2nd tier :12% (your direct referrals wholesale purchases) 3rd tier : 4.5% (your referral's referrals) 4th tier : 2% 5th tier : 2% 6th tier : 2% 7th tier : 2% 8th tier : 2%
I'm just rolling with the changes while they work out the kinks. Since I went from 0% on wholesale to 12% with residuals, I'm happy. And for Just2EZ's 8th birthday yesterday, I got my 8th sub in 8 weeks. To top it off, it was an M.D. from the Bay area. A lot more in the works, targeted marketing helps. I'm in no hurry to build a weak team or bully anyone into joining.

Just2EZ: But that 2% is now in a bonus pool commission yet to be explained. Tonight they explained the 2% bonus pool, which is only for the Enterprise Vendors. It is a monthly bonus check equal to 2% of total retail and wholesale 7 levels deep.
The requirement for being a Basic, Advanced, or Enterprise Vendor are the same. That is a $49.95/mo minimum purchase of product to resell, or give away. I personally have no problem finding people who need fast safe pain relief. The product basically sells itself, which is good for me since I hate selling.
To move to the Basic Vendor level requires a one time purchase of a $75 kit. (4x 4.4oz jars, retail $24.95/each, plus 50x Travel Packs retail $1.50 or give away) buy a 2nd $75 kit and you move to Advanced Vendor level commissions, buy a 4th $75 kit and you earn commissions at the Enterprise level plus bonuses. You have to continue to buy $49.95/mo at wholesale to stay qualified as a Vendor. Otherwise you stay or revert back to Affiliate level earning 20% retail /10% wholesale. It's all about moving the product into the hands of people who need it. You do not have to buy anything to be an Affiliate and sell the product on-line, in fact you can go to Share-A-Sale and become a retailer of RTPR.
Oh, and they did send 20 more free samples with my commission check this month. Ron, the CEO, said they would still be sending those out with the commission checks. Plus every retail purchaser gets 5 free travel packs with your code# on them to pass out. Viral marketing in the physical world. It's working for me and others.
Happy Holydays. Be the Blessings you wish for.

I had a good laugh at myself tonight when a caller asked if RTPR ships to Canada. Uh, the answer is currently "no", but they are open to international Vendors. Meaning if you are in the states and want to ship it overseas you can, they don't.
The laugh came when it dawned on me how contrary my ads were to what I preach. I had just posted on this forum about BellRock2012's free plug from a CBC TV show. Here I am running RTPR ads on a site getting Canadian visitors who can't buy it. In fact that site gets a lot of international traffic, from over 160 countries.
15 years ago Income Builders International was teaching me to "Think Global". I've even written articles on the fact that the U.S. is less than 25% of the net. And here I am pushing a business opportunity that is only available in the U.S.
Or is it? If you have contacts with import/export experience the market is yours. Come to think of it, I have lots of Canadian friends who visit Sedona. And it's this time of year they start heading south.
The packaging will NOT be printed in foreign languages anytime soon. I'm pretty sure if someone wanted to pay for the printing run it could be. It's just a matter of how big your vision and financial backing is. Sometimes the backing comes when you have the vision. On the other hand, nothing happens without vision.

More webinars on the new Vendor program this week Mon-Thurs 9:30pm EST http://www.rtpr.com/blog/ (or mine) has the current schedule and links.
Ron, the CEO, told me the only advertising money they ever spent was on free samples. The new wholesale Vendor program puts that in the hands of the affiliates. I see Shaq advertising IceyHot, and other brands spending millions on ads too. Some RTPR affiliate could land (or rent) a star "tweeter" someday and boom. Someone should send some Real Time Pain Relief to Real Time with Bill Maher. If I get too bored I may do it but I prefer to share my millions of ideas. I'm Just2Lazy. Ha, more like everyone wants me at once or not at all. Tis the season for website makeovers for half my clients, bah humbug!
Change is good, I make .71 off a $2.95 sample instead of paying to send them. Not exactly AdWords cost effective, except as a lead, but I don't advertise samples. Giving out samples in person is much more effective than on-line "freebies". The Vendor kits come with enough product to resale at a profit plus samples. You could sell it on Amazon, eBay, swap meets, fund raisers, stores, and more. RTPR is all about opening new markets and putting people to work. My team and sales continue to grow with little effort on my part. A little here, a little there, a little everyday. Earning comes with LEarning.

One last RTPR webinar for the year tonight at 9:00pm EST This one will include an overview of the back-office functions you get. They have some pretty good tracking and reporting tools for affiliates, plus they are adding printable flyers and business cards to print yourself. Every day they add a little more and refine their presentation.
A new market, parents on pain pills with little kids in the house. A 30 year old friend of my kids from high school found my facebook posts and asked me "What's all this stuff u keep posting about pain ? I live on meds" He has 2 young kids at home and worries they'll find his pills and eat them, but he also has 2 other kids he pays child support for and likes the money too. And so another customer becomes a distributor.
I'm not sure this would stop now even if I quit, which would be stupid. I could do nothing and still earn 20% retail and 10% wholesale from existing customers, plus 5%/2.5% commissions from their referrals one level deep. I'll spend the $49.95/mo to keep 7 levels deep and 20% higher commissions. But even if I didn't I'd still earn residuals from the work I did already. Just not from the work of other people 7 levels deep. And I've got some really good subs on my team. While I've only got 10 wide and 3 deep so far, that's not bad for 3 months of not trying. Thanks RTPR, and my team. Happy New Year! for sure.

Welcome Sir Michael, it's about time another RTPR Vendor showed up! I appreciate any input or feedback you have to add about the company. I can't wait for the new squeeze tubes and roll-on, got customers waiting. 6 days till launch. It's been a long 3 months of evolution. Think wholesale accounts, that's where the money is.

Just2EZ Will do J2E! I live directly across from an all natural independent market. They will be my first stop of course. I've been reading through the posts and I must say I like what I hear from everyone. Especially TJam. Seems to help keep everyone's feet on the ground. Thanks for the "howdy do". I will be around.
