ok, I'm new to the boards here. Hello all. I've been reading this a bunch and wanted to post an update based on my dealings with IFSL.
IFSL recognizes that the customer service aspect of their Ideal Goodness (IG) program has been lacking. It's getting an overhaul now as we speak. They appear to have hired some new people that are TONS more customer service oriented. After speaking with one the other day, they ARE pushing a lot of the core business onto the IG members they already have in addition to house and car insurance options.
IFSL also recognizes that when times are tough and folks lose their jobs or don't see the immediate success of the IG investment that they want to leave the network. As a remedy, IFSL instituted an IMS (Ideal Merchant Services) program. This is pretty smart I think. In a nutshell, people can partake in this program (which is free) will go out and solicit merchants to provide them with a free quote on their merchant services. If IMS can't offer them a better quote, they'll pay them $500. Apparently they have something like 95% or better success rate at providing a better quote than what they are getting now. You just need to ask them to provide a free quote and the IMS rep takes care of the rest. But if that merchant signs up, you get residual income of 0.15% of ALL revenue going through that merchant's CC machine. Something like $100k in revenue = $150 of regular monthly residual income in your pocket.
But why is that good for IFSL? Well, that money they collect will go 100% towards Ideal Goodness. So! If say a network member is running into hard times and can't afford to pay their monthly fees/donation, this IMS money that is collected may help go to pay that person's fees until they can get to cashflow positive. At this point, the member owes that money back with interest but they're paying it with extra money from the network anyways. It's a double bonus though because folks in that predicament can partake in the IMS option themselves and make side residual money to help get them back on track sooner with the IG fees. Also, because IG makes interest on that money they lend you, they'll be earning more money for IFSL and/or the IG program.
THis is all in addition to their recent post on the HR program they have starting up hopefully very soon.
This was interesting and thought it might help bring back some of the dreamy-er? times. :)
