The Berry Tree Scam


As I spend time on various Internet forums, blogs and other social networking sites, I think this recurring theme, which is being played like a broken record. The Berry tree is a scam. This complaint is due mostly to some supposed problems; they charge a membership fee to join, bonus pools are very small, that takes a lot to make any significant money and many people fail with the business. In this article I will cover these complaints, as well as the accusation that MLM in General and the Berry tree in particular are scams.

I'm intrigued as freely the word scam is released around these days, seeking as a rifle sniper everything that smells of MLM, Berry tree included. In most cases, these accusations are by people who are simply wrong. Or, they are people who feel that they have already been burned by MLM and they're on a mission to bring industry-wide for he knees!It's not exactly what I would call witnesses credible. I wouldn't build a lawsuit based on his testimony.

To determine the truth of such accusations, I suppose some definitions are in order. I turned to our good friend, Mr. Webster, and what I found was interesting and informative. The definition of the word scam is "a fraudulent or deceptive act or operation," or, "an attempt to make money by fraudulent means". Fraud. Scam.Mistake. These are strong words and should not be spoken lightly! If a will shoot those words as a cannon ball, the MLM industry and more specifically, the Berry tree, had better make the facts.

Let's examine more closely the charges above given these definitions. MLM as tree Berry, charge a membership fee in exchange for that distributor receives products, marketing and training, tools, guidance, etc. Which in turn receive the rights to profit from the deal.That sounds fair enough to me. is no different than buying in a McDonald, or Starbucks Franchise. To own a franchise, one will have to pay postage rates. So what's the difference?

If a membership or start-up rate makes the tree Berry or any MLM a scam, then by definition, charging fees to open a franchise or Starbucks also McDonald is a scam. Now, the startup cost for most MLM is less than $ 100, whereas the franchise fees above are in hundreds of thousands of dollars.Which one do you think that would allow the average person to become a successful entrepreneur and realize the great wealth and financial freedom?

Is promising to someone who will make money with an MLM, only for them to end in failure, is a fraud, then the same is true with traditional business owners that begin with that same dream, only to fail, and go out of business.This happens every day. Most often that failure is attributable to the business owner's failure to do the things necessary to succeed and in those cases where it was fault of company, insufficient training, poorly designed compensation plan or anything else, it is still not fraud and therefore is not a scam.

Remember, scam means "for a fraudulent or deceptive act."Just because the business owner does not make the money they or thinking of undertaking would, through their own fault, the fault of the company or some combination of the two, this is not a scam. no fraud. Is bad business practice, perhaps a bad business model, perhaps, bad luck, maybe, but is not fraud.

I'm not implying that are not true scams out there, there are certainly. There are these envelope stuffing schemes, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and perhaps the most successful one place, this inheritance that suddenly became its some wealthy philanthropist in Nigeria who passed away and somehow your lawyer or a family member has found you and wants to give him a large sum of money, yada yada yada. Now, watch class, those are scams. Remember, "by" fraudulent means?

So why is the Berry tree being accused of being a scam? Several reasons. They charge a membership fee to join, you already have discussed this point.It takes time to earn money and bonus pools are small. The Berry tree is not intended to be a get rich quick scheme. Is a compensation plan based on growing and developing a deep and stable downline. The idea is to not only build numbers, but to build quality, distributors are able to reproduce and duplicate the process down. It takes time to do this. Sure, it will pay less at the beginning, but over time, this process produces significant long-term passive residual income. The pools of small bonus do not indicate a problem, but on the contrary. The company is entering a phase where more people are eligible for these bonuses, which of course will destroy them a little.However, these same people are sponsoring new members and growing business, which in turn will increase the bonus pools, over time this problem perceived is in reality evidence of stability and growth.

To solidify further legitimacy this company they asked a patent of the United States for their compensation plans and profit.A company that is nothing more than a scam would do such a thing?There will be a network television spot on The Berry Tree this fall on CNBC, eye on America, with Diane Sawyer.Someone might think that a company seeking to deceive people and rip them off would be taking steps to stay away from the center of attention, rather than attempting to be in it.Another thing that makes this company that lends credibility is to allow people to "test drive" of the company, if they wish, for a whole month without additional cost.Your program btstartfree gives potential distributors the opportunity to use all sites, all training tools, everything and even send them samples of the product to try, all they pay is the cost of transport.My suggestion for anyone wondering if this business is legitimate, go to your site btstartfree.com and check out for yourself.

In summary, a cheat is a fraudulent or deceptive act or operation, an attempt to make money by fraudulent means. This implies intent. before linga scam Word this or any other company MLM, it would be best to make sure your Poorly run companies facts., bad business models, people don't make money because of their inability or your company, are not scams. Are problems with certainty, but they are not scams. membership fees and postage are not scams. companies fail, people don't, this is a fact of life that does not make the company a farce. MLM is a solid business model and the Berry tree is one of the best that this author has ever seen and saw plenty.
