"Frequently Asked Questions & Fast Facts"

I'm often contacted by aspiring entrepreneurs who want to know more about my training, products, and marketing system that I use, so I decided to post the most frequently asked questions (& answers) here, so that the info can benefit everyone.

I urge you to read through ALL the questions and answers below you'll most likely find answers to your own *burning* questions right here!

Q: "What are the products I will be selling?"

A: We believe the world today is in desperate need of financial education (Long before the current 'recession' hit, we were calling the public's attention to the fact that they need to learn to handle their finances properly!) We've partnered with a cutting edge direct marketing company based out of Texas, United States, which specializes in financial based educational products and services. You do have the option to choose to sell your own products, services and/or business opportunity. However, the majority of the members market the products of this company.

If you decide to market the financial based educational products that the majority of the members market, not only will you be creating wealth for yourself as you build your  business, but you will also learn to manage your wealth properly - and grow it even further by making wise investments - as you utilize the products/services of our partner company.

Quite frankly, this is a financial education you never received (Yes! that's coming from an ex-CPA's mouth!!).

Q: "What kind of start-up cost is involved?"

A : To get started, you'll FIRST need to purchase a BlackBOX which will cost you $395 (plus S&H). The BlackBOX is a physical product that will be delivered straight to your door.

You can think of the BlackBOX as your own professional online marketing system in a Box! Everything you will ever require to become a successful online marketer is included in your BlackBOX and membership.

Included with your BlackBOX is your first month’s membership to our revolutionary marketing system that will allow you to learn from and implement exactly what the top income earners in the industry are doing to earn fortunes online.

The BlackBOX is designed to get your own personal online marketing business off the ground as quickly as possible by doing most of the grunt work and helping you eliminate many of the normal learning curves and things new marketers struggle with.

We have additional upgrade options for those who want to take maximum advantage of the compensation plan. Once you've got your BlackBOX and have started to familiarize yourself with the training material - and once I know more about what your desired income goals are - we will talk about what sort of upgrade (if any) that best fits your plan.

Q: "How do I order the BlackBOX?"

A: Follow this simple 3-step process:

1. First submit your application here.
2. Then, upon approval of your application, you'll be instructed to go to a Private, Applicants-Only website where you'll log in the site using the same email address you put on your application. 
3. After you log in to to the Private, Applicants-Only website, scroll down until you see the Guarantee, and then click on the "Order Now" button (below the Guarantee) to purchase the BlackBOX.

Q: "Why is there an application fee to join?"

A: The small application fee simply helps determine if you truly are an entrepreneur (to help weed out the tire-kickers). If the business isn't right for you, we DO NOT want you wasting time and money! The application fee is refundable if you aren't satisfied.

Q: "Why is it so expensive to join your company?"

A: Actually, it's not. It's much less expensive than a traditional supplement based MLM business. The average MLM will cost you $2,500+ per year when you factor in the costs of the products, auto-shipments and taxes -- for shakes and vitamins you could probably have purchased for 70% less at a local store.

With us, there aren't ANY monthly auto-shipments! You just purchase your product and you're done! And another thing: when the vitamins are gone, they're gone...! Not so with our products. They will continue to "give back" to you year after year as you use them to create wealth, save on your taxes, make wise investments, protect your assets and much, much more.

Q: "Isn't it difficult to market and sell high-end products and services in the current economy?"

A: While many businesses around the world are suffering, we only continue to see an increase in our sales. Evidently, in the current, fragile economy, the public sees the need for our products and services more than ever before. I also think that as workers around the world are being laid off in greater and greater numbers, they are truly starting to see the tremendous value in working for themselves and being in control of their own financial futures.

Q: “What happens next, after I apply?”

A: You immediately get access to a detailed business and product overview, including videos, audios and recorded conference calls, and you will have the opportunity to chat live with one of our professional business coaches and ask them questions.

Also, I will personally get back with you within one to two business days and, if your application is accepted, I will schedule you for an orientation call as well as a personal business plan meeting with me via phone. Here, I will help you lay out a very specific step-by-step action plan that will help take you to your goals.

Q: "Do I need to know how to use a computer?"

A: Yes, this is Internet marketing. You'll need some basic computer skills, but you don't need to be a computer whiz.

Q: "Do I need any other special skills or experiences to succeed?"

A: Possessing certain skills -- like for instance knowing how to write ad copy, or having experience with marketing campaigns, or with keyword research -- will obviously only help you. But we don't consider these to be "requirements". You do, however, need to possess certain character traits -- you should be serious, committed, motivated, coachable, and have a great attitude.

Q: "Can I work the business part-time around my job?"

A: Sure you can. As long as you have at least 10-15 hours per week that you can devote to your business.

Q: "I travel a lot. Can I still do this business?"

A: You'll be fine just as long as you have semi-regular access to a phone and the Internet.

Q: "What do you mean when you say your system is '90% automated'?"

A: Once you have set up your marketing system (which isn't difficult), it will do all the telling and selling for you... websites, auto responders, audios, videos, product and business presentations, it's all there. You won't have to spend your time on any of that stuff. (That is, unless you really want to ;-) You'll be spending your time driving traffic to the system.

Q: "How is it possible that I don't have to call my leads?"

A: You won't have to call your leads (unless you want to); you will call your applicants. The auto responders and the email boot camp series do all the necessary follow-up for you. When someone is interested, they submit an application. After your applicant has gotten their questions answered by one of our business coaches, you call them to introduce yourself.

Q: "If your company is so great, why isn't everyone joining?"

A: Because we don't LET them! In order to protect the integrity of our system, we have to make sure that the quality of the consultants who get started isn't compromised. The longevity and security of our system are a far greater priority for us in order to accomplish our goal of creating 100 millionaires than any short term gains that might come from compromising our standards.

Q: "I've seen some negative stuff about you guys online... what's that about?"

A: That's just typical of the Internet. Search any good online company and you'll be certain to find another company slating it to try and get you into their opportunity instead: "[Name of competitor] is a scam! Here's why I didn't join! Keep reading to see why I chose [X] company instead!"

So, consider the source...

Q: "What do you mean when you say that 'people pay you to prospect them'?"

A: Part of each and every application fee goes directly into your pocket. This is to help offset your advertising costs. It's what we call the "Funded Proposal"; a common way to help fund one's advertising in the direct sales industry.

Q: "You also said that I can make money even on the people that don't join my team...?"

A: Yes, through affiliate sales. Any time someone purchases a product from you of which you are an affiliate, regardless of whether they join your team or not, you make money.

Q: "I read somewhere that one supposedly can make $480,000 in one year with your company, with just one new customer per week... how is that even possible?"

A: It's not only possible, it's probable. The secret lies in the higher-cost back-end sales you'll be able to profit from if you position yourself at the higher level in our compensation plan, and combine this with the additional residual earnings you'll be able to make off of the sales of your own consultants. When you break the numbers down, which you'll be able to do quite easily yourself, you'll see exactly how it all works out.

Q: "Isn't the market already saturated? Isn't it already too late to make any real money with your marketing system?"

A: According to Forbes Magazine, over 76 million Americans plan to start their own businesses in the next 3 years. At the time of this writing, we have only about 10,000 marketing consultants in our community, so there's plenty of room for more.

Also, we are now open for business in ALL countries around the world, meaning that you can market and sell to anyone, anywhere, regardless of where you yourself live! Do you realize how powerful this is???! Look - the market is HUGE! And it's all thanks to the Internet!

At the time of this writing we have, on our community's "Leader Board", members living in countries ranging from the US, to Canada, to the UK, to Scandinavia. (Only 50% of our sales are within the US and as much as 10% are in Scandinavia!)

What often happens is that a prospective member sees lots of ads for our company on the web and then falsely concludes that "the market is saturated." What they don't realize is that there are dozens of different ways to advertise, some of which are underutilized and therefore present a great opportunity to reach a targeted market without much (or any) competition.

Q: "How quickly can I be making money with your system?"

Individual results WILL vary some but many new people with little or no experience in this industry are seeing almost immediate results. People who have NEVER been able to achieve success, are making money, many in their first or second week!

Many of our members make $1000 or more within their first 14 days. Of course we cannot guarantee that you will make money this quickly and there is no way to ensure that you will follow our system.

Q: "What do I have to do to make money?"

Place ads (or use our turnkey solutions) and drive people to the "sales engine" that will be provided by our revolutionary marketing system. The system takes over from there,  sifting, sorting and selling our "joint venture" company's products. You get paid first - same day.

Q: “What kind of support will I get?”

First of all, I'll be your personal coach, and I'll always be available to you free of charge. (If you had to hire me, it would cost you $ 200/hour.)

Second, on our company training calls, you can always ask our marketing pros questions.

Third, when you set up your online account with our marketing system, you'll get access to our forum where you can post questions and get support.

Finally, you will have access to a list with contact info for over 200 different consultants who have made themselves available to do 3-way calls with any new members who need assistance.

Q: “What about the time difference if I live outside the US or Canada? Will I have to get up in the middle of the night in order to train my team or to call my applicants?”

A: No! To begin with, you won't be spending a whole lot of time on the phone. Your downline will primarily be trained by our multiple six- and seven-figure earning marketers on our daily conference calls. (By the way, all our training calls are recorded and made available to everyone in the system back office, so anyone who has an issue with the time difference, can simply listen to the recordings instead of the live ones.) I have downline consultants in countries all around the world, and I can honestly tell you that the time difference never has been a major issue.

Bottom line: In any business there will be challenges. The question is, do you have the right mindset to overcome them?

Q: "Won't it end up costing me a fortune in phone bills if you have team members living in different countries around the world and I'm supposed to train them?"

A: Personally I never pay a dime for any of my phone calls to my team... and you don't have to either. Here's how: The primary way we stay in touch with our team is by email and/or instant messenger, which of course is free of charge. And whenever you do need to call your downline, you can do it through one of the several on-line international long distance service providers. Just as long as you and your team members have the same provider, you can all talk for free.

Q: "This all sounds too good to be true... how do I know it's not a scam?"

A: Because...

• Our company has never been investigated or sanctioned by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). 
  
  
• No actions by a State Attorney General has ever been taken against our company, nor are there any pending investigations.
  
  
• Our company is a United States of America Corporation based in Texas. It's not some fly-by-night, off-shore scam.
  
  
• Recognized industry leaders such as Mike Dillard are directly associated with our company.
  
  
• Our partner company has been around since January 2005. Kip Herriage, the company's CEO, holds six degrees and licenses, was a financial advisor and money manager for over 15 years and one of the youngest ever to reach the position of Vice President at one of the largest financial firms on Wall Street.

Q: "Is there a way that I can get some more information about you, Hiro?"

A: Sure! The best way to do that is to simply Google my name ;-)

Q: "I still have some questions that haven't been answered here. Is there someone I can contact?"

A: Yes, you can call my home office at (347) 603-7551 after you have gone over all the information on my web sites. You can also email me at hiro@hirokaneko.net. Again, I would appreciate it if you contact me only AFTER you have reviewed all the information on this site.
