1044Pro’s Merchandise
1044Pro markets a “efficiency enhancement way of life bar”.
The 1044PRO Bar is a one in every of a sort, first to market “all inclusive”, efficiency enhancing way of life bar with anti-aging, detox, immune booster and electrolytes with confirmed Karbolyn know-how, invented for 1044PRO by Dr. Jeff Golini, Founding father of All American Prescription drugs.
The important thing ingredient, Karbolyn, is a
fast-acting, long-lasting, high-performance compound (that) presents quick outcomes, giving easy carbohydrates the power to enter the bloodstream rapidly providing you with prompt vitality!
1044Pro’s Karbolyn bar retails at $60 for a field of 15 bars.
1044Pro’s Compensation Plan
1044Pro associates are paid to promote the corporate’s Karbolyn vitality bars to retail clients.
Every 1044Pro affiliate should additionally buy a field of 15 bars a month, which generates commissions on recruited associates.
1044Pro Affiliate Ranks
There are three ranks inside 1044Pro’s compensation plan.
Together with their respective qualification standards, they’re as follows:
- Pro1 – recruit and preserve three associates (at the very least one positioned on both aspect of the binary crew)
- Pro2 – preserve two recruited associates and two retail clients
- Pro3 – recruit and preserve 4 associates and 4 retail clients
Notice that to rely in direction of rank qualification, recruited associates and referred retail clients should be ordering at the very least one field of 1044Pro bars every month.
Retail Commissions
1044Pro associates earn $20 on orders of vitality bars.
Repeat autoship orders are paid out at $15 for the lifetime of the order (month-to-month).
Recruitment Commissions
1044Pro associates earn $50 plus a field of 15 vitality bars per affiliate recruited.
Residual Commissions
1044Pro pays residual commissions through a binary compensation construction.
A binary compensation construction locations an affiliate on the prime of a binary crew, break up into two sides (left and proper):
The primary degree of the binary crew homes two positions. The second degree of the binary crew is generated by splitting these first two positions into one other two positions every (4 positions).
Subsequent ranges of the binary crew are generated as required, with every new degree housing twice as many positions because the earlier degree.
Positions within the binary crew are stuffed through direct and oblique recruitment of associates. Notice there isn’t any restrict to how deep a binary crew can develop.
Via retail gross sales and recruitment, gross sales quantity (BV) is generated throughout the binary crew as follows:
- 20 BV is generated on retail buyer orders
- 150 BV is generated on recruitment of a brand new 1044Pro affiliate
Though not explicitly clarified, I consider 20 BV can also be generated on obligatory month-to-month affiliate autoship orders.
After a residual fee pay-period has ended, 1044Pro tallies up new gross sales quantity on each side of the binary crew.
Associates obtain 10% to twenty% of gross sales quantity generated on their weaker binary crew aspect.
- Pro1 ranked associates are paid 10%
- Pro2 ranked associates are paid 15%
- Pro3 ranked associates are paid 20%
1044Pro don’t disclose how lengthy a pay-period is of their compensation documentation. Sometimes nevertheless a binary pay-period is both each day or weekly.
Becoming a member of 1044Pro
1044Pro affiliate membership is $349 after which $60 a month.
Conclusion
1044Pro is basically a an autoship recruitment scheme with retail pseudo-compliance.
The primary purple flag is the obligatory month-to-month buy requirement:
That is defacto obligatory autoship. And since the Pro1 rank has no retail buyer necessities, means a 1044Pro affiliate can join, pay for autoship and easily receives a commission to recruit others who do the identical.
Pro2 introduces a two retail buyer requirement. This nevertheless is matched in opposition to an affiliate’s personal autoship, and having to take care of two recruited autoship associates.
That’s three affiliate orders in opposition to two retail clients. Primarily based on 1044Pro’s offered Revenue Disclosure Assertion, we are able to assume most associates haven’t ranked Pro2.
That is based mostly on the disclosure that 82% of associates from August third 2020 to December 31 2020 earned a mean of $7 a month.
Keep in mind, retail commissions are paid out at $20 on an preliminary order and $15 every month residually. That’s on prime of residual binary commissions.
Transferring on to 1044Pro’s vitality bar product, there’s so much advertising tie-in with Pickleball on the corporate’s web site.
When you’re not accustomed to the game, Pickleball is ‘a paddleball sport (just like a racquet sport) that mixes components of badminton, desk tennis, and tennis.’
I’ve nothing in opposition to Pickleball, it’s simply odd for 1044Pro to deal with in its advertising with out an evidence.
I believed possibly the corporate’s title had one thing to do with it, however
The Angel Quantity 1044 means that there’s going to be a brand new starting, a change in your life and you’ll have to work onerous with willpower to deal with it.
With the non secular components and your onerous work mixed with persistence you may manifest what your coronary heart wishes!
That’s from 1044Pro’s web site. The query “What does “PRO” imply?” can also be requested, nevertheless the reply is copy and pasted from “What does “1044” imply?” (as quoted above).
So uh yeah, Pickleball hey.
Seeing as 1044Pro claims its Karbolyn bar was “invested for 1044Pro by Dr. Jeff Golini”, I went seeking to see if something comparable was obtainable.
Seems Dr. Golini can also be working with EFX Sports activities, who’ve their very personal “Karbolyn Vitality Bar”.
Similar worth, identical dietary data and there’s even a video that includes Dr. Golini additional down the web page.
The one apparent distinction between EFX Sports activities’ bar and 1044Pro’s bar is 1044Pro’s wrapper has extra advantages, and is flavored peanut butter chocolate chip to EFX Sports activities’ peanut butter.
EFX Sports activities don’t market their bar as serving to with vitality, anti-aging, detox, immune boosting and electrolytes – however given the 2 bars have the identical dietary numbers, how totally different can they be?
EFX Sports activities’ house owners declare they’ve been working with Dr. Golini since 2004.
Thoughts you there’s completely nothing mistaken with two corporations promoting near-identical merchandise, it’s simply that EFX Sports activities’ bars value $29.99 for a field of 12. 1044Pro are charging $60 for 15.
I’ll give Dr. Golini the good thing about the doubt and assume he’s not promoting the identical formulation to a number of corporations. However is no matter further is in 1044Pro’s bars value the additional $1.50 per bar (remembering there’s no distinction in main dietary values)?
I’ll depart that to you to resolve.
On the finish of the day an MLM firm primarily constructed round affiliate autoship will inevitably collapse. To not point out functioning as a pyramid scheme is unlawful within the US as per the FTC Act.
Strategy with warning.
