This is a review on a division of Tiscali, called Tiscali-Network.

Just a short few months ago, Tiscali came across a truly brilliant idea on their part, of finding people who would basically do the job of their telesales office by recommending the Tiscali services to their friends/family and receiving a commission for their efforts. But all is not quite as it seems for this is actually a truly remarkable way of possibly making a good income for yourself. If you were ever interested in starting your own business then this might just be of interest to you. Read on for a review of this company:

Pyramid selling, mugs game I hear you shout. Well no, not quite. You see pyramid selling was outlawed in the 1970's as being a seriously dubious way of doing business. And quite rightly so. This scheme is called Relationship Marketing. Works in the same way if you ask me, but the difference with this scheme is that you've got the backing of a multi-million pound business behind you, it's a name we all know (well most of us anyway!), and you're recommending something that is actually of benefit to people because you'll be saving them lots of pennies on their internet and telephone bills. And you'll make money for it. Anyway, let me explain how it works and then you're free to make your own minds up!

Tiscali is a major player in the telecommunications field. The third largest player actually. It is safe to say they are huge, with the biggest European presence totalling fourteen countries. They're aiming to turnover one billion euros this year. They specialise in providing low-cost telephone services and fast and reliable internet access. Indeed they are the first company in European Internet history to be profitable!

SO HOW DOES THIS WORK THEN:
----------------------------------------
>
Well, Tiscali Network is the Relationship Marketing side of the business. Tiscali Network offers a serious income opportunity for people who recommend Tiscali services to their friends and/or family. And if THEY also want to join the Tiscali Network and become Independant Business Associates, and they ALSO introduce a few friends and family then the earning potential is seems to be limitless.

Word-of-mouth promotion - the most natural and successful method for marketing a service or product. Because it is based on personal recommendation or endorsement which is so much stronger than any advert in a paper or magazine; any cold call over the telephone; or any leaflet coming through your letterbox. People believe people much more than any colourful image or well-written text.

What would you rather do... go to a restaurant you'd pulled out of the Yellow Pages, or one that your best friend had sincerely recommended that you should try? What about a holiday destination... go with the flashy colour brochure, or the recommendation of a colleague at work who you trust?

There are two main ways to earn income:

Fast Start Bonuses
--------------------

This is immediate income, made simply by gathering customers. Introducing customers to various services earns points. Once you have twenty points you've earned yourself £200. For someone to 'Fast Start' they must gain six customer points within 90 days - this is just two Broadband customers! This then qualifies them for commission, as well as the team building bonuses below.


Team Building Bonuses
----------------------

This bonus rewards you for building a team which in turn becomes a substantial organisation of customer gatherers, allowing you to work your way through the promotional positions available. Once you have introduced three IBA's to your team, either by word of mouth or some form of marketing, you begin to ear
n bonuses. By introducing other people to do what you yourself are doing and have become a Senior Associate, you earn further bonuses of £50 for every person underneath you who Fast Starts. This is paid out on a weekly basis and is therefore immediate income. And the bonus goes up depending on your position: £80, £105, £125, £145, and finally £160 per Fast Starter.


Long Term Residual Income By Collecting Customers
--------------------------------

This is where it gets really interesting. You see for every customer that you introduce, and also every customer your IBA's have introduced, you earn a residual income on how much they spend per month with Tiscali. And this is paid month in, month out, as long as they continue to be Tiscali customers. So you may not have introduced the customer yourself, but you're still earning from the good work your IBA has done for the team. You really need to view the presentation on the website to gain a better understanding of this.

So you can do it in your spare time or you can take it a little more seriously and put time and effort into creating a substantial team, it's totally up to you, depending on how you want to benefit.

So what's the catch?
-----------------------

Well the only catch really is that it costs £200 to start up, but then most businesses have some form of initial outlay. At least you know you're not paying your money to 'Joe Bloggs'. For this payment you will receive a Business Pack including large ringbinder with a training pack and everything you'll ever need to learn how to do this successfully. You have access to a Tiscali website with your details on it, all the online facilities which includes leads monitoring functions, training info, monitoring hits on your website, automated email responders to each person who has registered an interest, billing information for your customers, online marketing information
including how to get hold of leads, to name but a few.

Everything is done online so for those of you who don't consider yourselves 'salespeople', this is the ideal opportunity. And if you do sign up and you're not happy once you receive your business pack, you can send it back within fourteen days for a full refund.

My personal experience has been a good one so far, and it's much easier than it sounds. So, if you were ever considering setting up your own business I would seriously recommend you take a look at Tiscali-Network. Good luck!
