Companies that Hide Details
The other day I talked about being on the lookout for home based business scams. Similar but not necessarily scams are home based businesses that don’t put many details up front. You probably know the ones – you might have run across a page that talks about making a lot of money and shows pictures of nice cars and beautiful beach scenes. But when you get to the end of the ‘blah blah’, you have no idea what kind of business or how you might make money in that business.
These kinds of home based business opportunities do this for any number reasons. In some cases, the company does not allow business owners to use their name in marketing materials. Or it might be something else – the company has a bad reputation and/or has a lot of negative press and they must get your interest first. This way they overcome any objections – or so they think.
I become very suspicious of a home based business opportunity that isn’t up front about who and what they are. To me, that is important. If a company is not willing to be upfront about their business, how does that make a new prospect feel? Not good. Stick with companies like Lightyear Wireless where just about everything is made available up front. No surprises although it does take some time to fully understand the compensation plan.
