Become an Advocate and Start Earning

Consumer Advocates have the opportunity to enjoy earnings from the marketing fees generated by merchant refunds on everyday purchases of neighbors, friends and their friends. Imagine earning money when your neighbor gets a haircut or buys a pizza!

To become a Consumer Advocate you need an active Consumer Advocate to introduce you to the company. They will help you become a Consumer Advocate and will assist you in building your Consumer FIRST business. They can answer your questions about our products and services or regarding our compensation plan.

Become a Consumer Advocate and Start EarningAs a Consumer Advocate, you will:

  1. Market Consumer FIRST products and services to customers and earn commissions whenever these customers use or purchase these products or services.
  2. Refer others to become Consumer Advocates and work with them to develop an organization of customer-gatherers.
  3. Refer prospective payroll card clients.

You will earn bonuses and commissions for working with and developing your team, which gathers customers who use Consumer FIRST products and services.

Getting started as a Consumer Advocate is easy. To become a Consumer FIRST Advocate, all you have to do is decide just how serious you want to be about building your Consumer FIRST business and how much time and effort you want to devote to succeeding. You will have the opportunity of working closely with the Advocate who enrolled you and other leaders who will help and encourage you, but your ultimate success will depend on your personal commitment and the choices you make.

The entry position for all Consumer Advocates is called an Associate, and then there are two optional upgrades.

If you simply want to gather individual customers and find other people to do the same, you may become an Associate. This is a basic position where you receive a Starter Kit ($49), which will give you all the basic information you need to begin. You will also receive a free replicating website with a basic back office for tracking your customers and managing your website.

As an Associate, you are authorized to market Consumer FIRST services to individual consumers. These include the FREE registration of their existing Visa or MasterCard as well as their purchasing the Consumer FIRST Gold Card and Family Cash Card. Associates who perform specific tasks can earn the commissions assigned to those tasks without having to purchase the optional packages.

As an Associate, you will be required to pay an annual renewal fee of $25 on the anniversary of your application.

Making Money Gathering Customers

In order to begin earning commissions and usage bonuses, you must gather Customers. A Customer is anyone who registers an existing VISA or MasterCard in our FREE Registered Card System, or purchases any Consumer FIRST Card as described below. You may become your own first Customer.

Making Money Gathering Customer-Gatherers

The secret to building a successful Consumer FIRST business, and to doing it quickly, is to realize that alone, there is only so much you can do in any given period of time, but by recruiting and training others to market, you and your team together can gather more Customers than you ever could on your own.

The way to gather customer-gatherers is to focus on building what is called a "Success Unit" and then to teach others to do the same. Following the simple steps outlined in building a Success Unit is the key to exponential growth.

Upgrades

If you begin as an Associate and later wish to upgrade to Manager or Executive, you may do so at any time. Simply complete a new Consumer Advocate Application and pay the difference between what you are purchasing less what you have already paid. However, you will have to pay the $10 shipping and handling for your new Kit, as well as a $50 Upgrade Fee.

Associates who perform specific tasks can earn the commissions assigned to those tasks without having to purchase the optional packages. Because of the vital need to have a professionally and properly trained marketing force, any Associate that builds a success unit will be entitled and encouraged to participate in the Manager Training for $25 to help defray the costs of materials and meeting room expenses. Executive Training will be available to any Associate who attains the MD-5 position for a material and administration fee of $50.

Enrollment can be done as either an individual or as a company, which requires a Federal Tax ID Number to be processed. Husband and wife teams must enroll together as co-applicants. For faster turnaround, applications can be entered online and payments can be made by electronic check. Applicants simply enter their checking account information on our secure site and a physical check is produced and deposited on their behalf. Alternatively, applicants may complete a paper application and make payment via check or money order. (Sorry, but as per standard industry policy we are not able to accept credit cards for payment.)

When you become a Consumer Advocate, you can begin to build your own Consumer FIRST business and take the first steps towards achieving your goals.
