Question: How much marketing money do I need to advertise this business?

Answer: There are literally hundreds of ways to market this program. Some methods cost more than others, while some methods cost nothing at all. As with any marketing program, you'll get more out of it the more you put into it. In other words, it's a numbers game. The more people you expose to this opportunity, the more results you will have.

The important thing to remember is to be consistent with whatever marketing budget you have... Even if its only a few hundred dollars per month. Stick with that amount until your team starts to grow and you can leverage your advertising dollars along with your growing team.

Question: Isn't this just another MLM opportunity?

Answer: NO! This is the FARTHEST thing from just another MLM opportunity. Why? Because most MLM companies force you to go on some type of auto ship program where you only earn tiny percentages of commission on a large group of people.

GRN offers minimum commissions of $500.00 to $1,000.00 per referral with no auto ship program to force people on. Although the payplan structure does take advantage of multiple people on multiple levels, this is the first company to merge high-ticket compensation with multi-level marketing allowing its members to enjoy huge financial rewards with just a handful of people in your organization.

Question: Why is this better than a 'Two-Up' Compensation plan?

This is done through a specific ID# that is issued to every new member that joins the Sales & Marketing Center.

Furthermore, the Sales & Marketing Center has no knowledge of whom you have spoken to prior to a prospect calling into the Center.
