Is Home911 Just Another MLM/Pyramid Scheme?

Wow, that question hurt deep...but the person asking it had just cause. We never saw it that way! But we were at the coal face...we knew...we just expected everyone else to know...so actually a good question that needs answering...

Why did Home911 decide to pay commissions through an MLM program?
After we launched the product for Nelspruit farmers in 2005, we thought we had a pretty smart product, over the last few years it has gotten even smarter...
So we ended up with a fantastic product, and it worked very well!....but then we encountered another problem..

Because we had 10 alert recipients(upgrade from 4) our customers were speaking to more people...and so it was inevitable that our customers would eventually say" i just referred 5 people to your system can i get a ... discount off mine...." or " this is such a great product can i be a dealer?"

In fact 150 requests in 3 months! Our little excel program tracking commissions became a full time job for one of our staff...there had to be a better way!

Then after battling through different programs, the idea came up to just offer "everyone" the chance of getting a discount when they register...the hunt was on to find software that could track the commissions...

Through much trial and error, and testing many different types of software, one of the staff heard an ad on the radio. It was a large Telecommunications company that was offering discounts on referrals... "lets see what software they are using"

It was through this that we found http://www.netready.co.za/ a SA based company that specialised in software of this nature...in fact up till this point we had no idea that it was MLM software that would solve all our problems!

so we solved the commission tracking problem...

then the software company said that built in was a way in which..if "some" customers chose to, could actually turn this into a good passive income... Obviously that would be the best recognition to anyone wanting to help us...so we jumped at it! In fact we landed so hard that we ended up with a compensation plan that has never been done before in SA. Netready who has over 15 years experience said we were giving away too much...!

We didn't think so!

So through default and a few years later, we offer a discount for referrals...or...a a passive income.

The product stands on it's own two feet, and we don't need it...we never have.... it was our customers that steered this ship for us!

So...No, we are not a money hungry get rich quick scheme! In fact read our last FAQ......if you can't afford this product, we may even give it to you FREE!

No contracts, no hidden costs... just a desire to make a difference to peoples lives, and be a solution to crime in this country....and now maybe we can pay a few peoples bonds off too...if they choose!

  1. Hello Nigel (& Home 911 Team)

    It is super that people are actually asking questions like this as it clears the air right up front. ALL successful business is built on a 'multi-level-system' without exception.

    With my personal years of experience, I know this is a system designed to give as much as possible to the people that give as much as possible.

    Yes, we will make money here at Home 911 but let us not forget why we have this business and how we can reduce the effects of crime in our beautiful country.

    SWSWSWSW - Next Please !

    Have a wonderful day,

  2. I have just signed up to home911 as I can see a great personal benefit, I just wish people will switch off to the mlm side of things and wake up to the fact that we all need the system in SA and can also make money from it.
