Berry Tree Team Bonuses- Now Available!

Hey, everyone. I don’t normally like to spend a lot of time or blog space talking about my individual promotions, because this blog is intended for all viewers, which includes both current BT members and non-members.

However, I would just like to make a quick, exciting announcement to all those who are investigating my blog and/or the Berry Tree for the first time:

— — —

Starting the month of February (2008), our team will be offering special bonuses to any individual interested in joining our Berry Tree line.

We will actually be giving these new members 3 options to choose from. Our specific bonus system is designed to help our new members jump-start their business. However, we have provided options in order to satisfy both the passive members and business builders.

I won’t go into the major details here. For a more thorough explanation, please visit our blog’s new “Join/Bonus” page HERE.

You will also find a tab at the top of this blog entitled “Join BT, + Bonuses” which will take you to the same page.

Special thanks to 1-Star Automatic Builder and BT member, Ronnie Branch, for his support regarding this Berry Tree bonus project.

Enjoy, folks!

Berry Tree Company Sign-ups: February 9 Conference Call

Well, here’s some good news for all current and future Berry Tree members.

The recent Nutronix conference call discussed the current rate of daily sign-ups and future projections. It seems that Berry Tree expansion efforts are moving a little faster than many of us anticipated!

Where are we NOW?

Thanks to the corporate advertising campaigns, about 50 people are signing up to the Berry Tree every day. And, that rate is expected to increase very quickly…

Where will we be in about 2 WEEKS?

According to the recent conference call, Berry tree leaders project that daily sign-up numbers could reach about 150 new members within 10 days or so. That’s a very exciting level, and it would allow this program to take off like a jet.

Where can we expect to be in the LONG-RUN?

The future goal is to average around 300 new members per day in the Berry Tree. I’m not entirely sure how long that will take. If things go according to plan, this could happen within a couple of months. It could potentially take a year or more. We’ll just have to see the overall effects of the marketing campaigns at the end of February before making that specific projection.

— — —

One final encouraging fact mentioned on the call:
Berry Tree $4.95 trials currently have a conversion rate of approximately 50%. That’s not a bad rate, folks. This should also give more leverage to BSU leads.

Well, after hearing results like this, I know I’m excited for the monthly reports following February. How about you?

Berry Member Credits- Power to the MLM!

I think almost everyone familiar with the Berry Tree and its compensation plan would agree that the Berry Member Credit program within the BT business opportunity is potentially one of the greatest advantages out there in this industry. I know I’ve studied several MLM payplans and I’ve never seen anything quite like it.

— — —

For those unfamiliar with berry member credits (BMCs), here’s a brief overview —

Each time you remain loyal to the Berry Tree and your monthly autoships for a 2 month period, you receive 1 credit. In fact, you actually receive one half of a credit in your account each month. You also receive the equivalency of 1 BMC each month for each direct referral you bring into the berry tree that continues his/her autoship.

So, for example, if you have been in the berry tree for 4 months and you have referred 3 people, you would have 5 (2 + 3) BMCs for the current month.

What makes the BMC system so great? The bonus pools of course! Once you have 10 BMCs, you qualify to receive a “Bronze Bonus Pool” share worth $90, and increasing…

— — —

So, since you can earn money by doing nothing more than exercising some patience, you might as well just sit still and wait until you have 10 BMCs, right?

WRONG!

And for 2 main reasons…

— — —

1.) There’s a lot of potential money to be made in the Berry Tree!

Referring other people to the Berry Tree and building a line of customers through your BT business should be a priority! After all, you not only accumulate credits, but you also earn a residual income on your first three levels of sponsorship- $7.00, $4.00, and $2.00 respectively. Also, let’s not forget the simple mathematics of the situation: As you build your business, your BMC value will grow and qualify you for additional pools and more bonuses at a faster rate.

There are people in this business that were able to generate well over $1,000 during their first month. How? They worked it and made daily efforts to build their team. Now, I’m not saying you can’t necessarily just enjoy the product or be satisifed with your bi-monthly BMCs- if that’s what you wish to do, that is absolutely fine. But I’m finding that a lot of people out there join the Berry Tree and become impatient accumulating their credits. In order to earn more money, all they need to do is start treating their Berry Tree membership like as business as opposed to a simple “investment.”

— — —

2.) The “sit and wait” method takes a while…

It’s no secret! If you do not plan to build the business and you simply wish to wait until you accumulate enough BMCs to qualify for the Bronze pool, it will take you exactly 20 months.

Now, I personally would have no problem waiting 20 months, paying $55.95 each month for a useful product in order to eventually start receiving $100-150 back as a monthly bonus. But to many, I’m sure 20 months would seem like an eternity! So, for that matter, I would say- Why not attempt to build the business in the process and potentially generate some extra income while you’re waiting for your personal BMC Bronze Pool qualification?

If you’re dedicated to wait out the 20 months, the worst that could happen is that you discover at the end of 20 months, you were unable to directly refer anyone to the business. And, yes- that’s the worst that could happen! In the end, what would it really matter? You would still qualify for monthly bonus pool payments!

— — —

This is not to attempt to criticize the current BT members that apply the “sit and wait” method. It’s simply a quick encouragement to say- “Why not give the MLM side of the Berry Tree a shot, if you haven’t already?”

Remember: The extra rewards are great, if you’re willing to build!

Berry Tree Rumors on the Internet: Valid Disappointments or Myths?

I’ve recently noticed that there are quite a few stories scattered across the internet about frustrations with the Berry Tree. Many of them are included in some rather nasty reports with messages such as “Don’t join the berry tree scam” and “this company is a rip-off.”

So, I figured it would be rather helpful to look at some of these specific rumors and claims against the Berry tree’s performance, progress, and credibility. Which of them have some partial truths? And which claims are so far-fetched that we should laugh them off without a second thought? I can’t list all of them, but here are some of the popular examples:

— — — — —

“They claimed after 2 years, your tree would be full, and you would be making over $1300 per month.”

Although I wasn’t personally around during the ground-breaking of the Berry tree, this sure seems like one far-fetched rumor. The founders and major influences behind the Berry Tree, such as Matt Yonan and Art Phelps, would know better than to directly make such a careless promise to all members. They know full well that even the ideal network marketing system cannot necessarily guarantee an individual’s success to this extreme level.

I believe $1300 per month is a realistic goal, as I know many people who have accomplished this monthly level of success. However, only those who are willing to be patient and ready to work to build their business are going to achieve these commission levels.

BTW- The original statement is taken right from a complaint at RipOffReport.com, thanks to a “Mrs. Pickle:” http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/289/RipOff0289597.htm

“The company claimed they would do all the work for me!”

I hear this one a LOT. It is true that the company promised that special promotions would take place to generate spillover for all Berry Tree members on a fair basis. It’s also true that these intended promotions faced an unfortunate delay.

However, it is certainly NOT true that the Berry Tree program guaranteed anything specific to those who sat still and waited on spillover to determine the overall success or failure of their business. It is very helpful and encouraging when a MLM program makes an effort to supply spillover, but that spillover should never be considered anything more than an extra bonus. This is not a get-rich-quick scam; your overall success in this program will depend on individual, consistent effort.

— — —

“The bonus pools stopped increasing as promised. When will the bronze pool reach $500?”

Apparently, there are at least a couple people out there who were told that the bronze pool alone would reach unrealistic levels. Either they are making it up, or they had a upline who was feeding them hype and/or false information.

There’s not too much more to say about this one; it’s just plain wrong. It’s true that some bonus pools- including bronze and silver- were decreasing in value for a while. But, the pools are now on the way up again. They are expected to reach levels in the $100-200 range very soon; just don’t expect any ridiculous levels of $500 or so.

For more information about projected Bonus Pool progress, read our latest article: “Bonus Pools – Soon to Increase?”

— — — — —

Just remember there will always be people out there creating rumors and twisting words. We are dealing with an industry in which the vast majority joins in hopes of receiving a “free lunch,” and then quits once they realize MLM success requires commitment. And, of course, people love to vent as a result and blame the company, claiming it “must be a scam” or something similar.

Be careful who you believe out there. 😉

Bonus Pools – Soon to Increase

It’s that special time of the month again, in which hard working Berry Tree members and affiliates are rewarded with their monthly commission. And part of the joy that comes along with that commission is the shares from the bonus pools. Here are the reports for bonus pool shares last month:

Bronze Bonus Pool — $92.91
Silver Bonus Pool — $53.64
Gold Bonus Pool — $244.87
Regional Bonus Pool — $61.75
National Bonus Pool — $89.87
International Bonus Pool — $206.05

And, if you had qualified for all six of those pools, you would have earned a total of $749.09, in addition to your monthly residual check. And this does not even account for the large, leader’s pools, such as 1 Star, 2 Star, etc; all the way to “Diamond.”

For a long period of time, several members were disappointed because the bronze and silver pools were decreasing in value each month. One month it was even as low as $35. However, it appears the pools are on a rise once again, after this recent report.

Here’s some even more good news: The Berry Tree is going to begin it’s mass advertising campaigns very soon; supposedly either before the end of January or by some time in February. This is the exciting development that people have been anticipating for a while now. As the Berry Tree is featured on television and other media, the company will begin to develop a larger presence across the world. That means more people will begin to join us at an exponential rate. And THAT means that current, individual Berry Tree members will see more spillover in their tree levels and the bonus pools will continue to grow larger.

How much larger?

Well, that’s a good question! I’ve been reading a lot of different opinions and predictions about “just how large” the bonus pools are going to become within the next couple of months. A recent update claimed the Bronze Pool alone could reach levels of $200-300 per share, which would be an absolutely remarkable accomplishment. The majority of individuals who I’ve seen posting and talking about their predictions for bonus pool growth tend to believe that $150-200 for this particular pool is a more realistic expectation.

But, only time will tell. This all depends on (1.) the timing of the corporate advertising, and (2.) the effectiveness of the campaign.

I don’t mean to sound too cliche when I say this, but: “It’s going to be an interesting Winter.” 😉

BSUs (Berry Sign-Ups): Value worth the Price-Tag?

Nutronix and the Berry Tree have just announced a new marketing option specifically available for Berry Tree Members. You can now purchase “Berry Sign-Ups” (BSUs).

What is a BSU?

BSUs are previous leads that have already shown an interest in the Berry Tree product and business opportunity. They have already signed up for the $4.95 trial offer, and company testing estimates that approximately 50% of BSUs will eventually sign up for the full membership.

If a BSU completes the enrollment to become a full member at the price of $54.95 per month, you are entitled to receive the $27.00 Fast Start Bonus, along with the equivalency of 1 berry member credit (BMC) for each month the member stays enrolled and continues his autoship. However, you do not qualify to receive the monthly residual income of $7.00, 4.00, or 2.00 (depending on the 3 levels), as your normally would if you originaly recruited your own BT members.

Cost of BSUs

Each BSU costs exactly $111. They are sold in packages of 3 BSUs for $333, or 5 BSUs for $555.

— — —

PROS:

These leads are pre-qualified and will automatically be set to upgrade their membership, unless they specifically cancel. In this situation, you would earn a one-time $27.00 back through Fast Start, which helps cover the overall cost. Since you also receive a Berry Member Credit (BMC) for each member, buying multiple packages of BSUs can significantly decrease the amount of time it takes you to qualify for the Bonus Pools, such as the Bronze Pool, Silver Pool, etc.

BSUs are initially sponsored by the company and converted into spillover for the entire community. As you buy and personally sponsor more BSUs, more individuals will receive spillover in their own trees. Therefore, even those who do not purchase BSU packages will benefit.

CONS:

If you sign-up a BSU, you do not receive the normal residual income, because the member was originally placed as spillover in another individual’s tree. Based on common MLM principles, monthly commisionable payments are the well-earned rewards for distributors. I say “well-earned” because a distributor is responsible for training his referrals and assisting their growth and promotions on a monthly basis. Therefore, when purchasing BSUs, you are immediately faced with a commission penalty.

There is also absolutely NO guarantee that the BSU will upgrade his/her membership, which could result in an immediate loss of $111. It is also worth noting that the majority of people who join MLM programs are tire kickers; i.e. people who are willing to do little to no work in order to develop their business. These people assume MLM is some kind of “get-rich-quick” magic program, and when they discover that MLM takes time, diligence, and effort, they drop out within 3-6 months. If your previous BSU drops out, you will lose your BMC.

— — —
My Personal Opinion:

I certainly don’t mean to sound like “Captain Negative,” but I’m not very impressed with the overall value of the BSUs when compared with their unit price.

I’m not excited about paying for the right to potentially train and support a member, while enduring a commission penalty. Also, $333 (minimum) is a large sum of money for most individuals. When you consider the fact that the vast majority of BSUs will either fail to upgrade or eventually drop out and forfeit your future BMCs, the cost of $111 per Berry Sign-up appears to be a rather steep Price-Tag.

I feel that $50-60 per BSU would prove to be a much more reasonable price range.

For those considering BSUs-

This is only my “opinion.” We all have the right to decide how we want to market this opportunity, whether we choose BSUs, GTTs, or another means. I believe I can use $111 to market much more efficiently than the average predicted reward that would result from purchasing these BSUs. Others may feel differently, each according to their own experience and abilities.

If you view BSUs as an attractive method to build your business, then by all means, feel free to give them a shot. For those that choose to use BSUs during January or sometime else in the near future, I wish you the best.

More information about BSUs is available here: http://automaticbuilder.com/bsu/

I would be very interested in reading others feelings and experiences regarding the BSUs. Please feel free to comment below!
