BFF Recommended Opportunities
Both LGN-Prosperity and Club Sea Breeze evaluate extremely well against the Five Essentials suggested for analysis and out perform all other opportunities analyzed and they are BFF Recommended Opportunities, though each is very different from the other.
LGN is more traditional network marketing where it is in your best interest to go “wide”, to sponsor, personally, as many people as you can and you facilitate depth by supporting your people, helping them grow their businesses. And your long term residual and/or passive income potential is derived from depth building in your downline. With LGN, the deeper the better.
In CSB it’s also in your best interest to go as wide as possible and similar to LGN, you do not want to give away sponsorship. However, CSB also has an altruistic component to it, where unrelated businesses will cooperate to complete a Panel and cycle. Initially there are 3 businesses already on the Panel, as a linear configuration with associates in the 1st, 2nd and third positions and positions 4, 5, 6, 7 empty. And the three work to fill the 4 open positions and as soon as position 4 is filled, there are now 4 associates working to fill the 3 remaining positions and then 5 working to fill two, 6 working to fill one until position 7 is filled and the panel splits and commissions are paid.
This is cooperative effort is familiar to many who have worked a matrix like Travel Ventures International, (TVI) before, and maximizes the emotionality and competitive component when only a few spots remain. But that is where the similarity stops because CSB is a single Panel and it capitalizes on this dynamic because a CSB Panel begins with 4 spots to fill.
And there is a true residual component to the CSB opportunity and it pays earlier, more often than anything offered previously. Point being there’s a ton of money on the table and again, I love the people helping people aspect of this model.
Both have a “follow me” component wherein when you cycle you follow your sponsor onto their current matrix (LGN) and Panel (CSB) taking the 1st available spot. However because only 4 spots need to fill to cycle the CSB Panel, as opposed to all six on the LGN Matrix, the “follow me” aspect will in general be faster in CSB.
Both have the opportunity for “Spill-Over” and in both cases this relies mostly on the activity of the sponsor. However, because CSB allows the sponsor to place spillover, the opportunity to complete Panels, help downline while not giving away sponsorship or the “follow me” aspect, Club Sea Breeze is superior.
In my opinion the real differences lie in a few key areas.
- Model, traditional or more altruistic model.
- Risk, CSB would be considered more a start up and for the more risk averse I would suggest LGN. Although, even here, LGN-Prosperity started December 1st 2009 and only has a 4 month head start on CSB. Compared against many other opportunities, both would be considered start ups.
- Product. Travel is more globally accepted than internet delivered and based products. A large part of the world still lives “off-line”. And the product suite at CSB is going to have superior market acceptance, true value and will literally sell on its own. Just answer the question, do I want a CSB membership for the product or for the income opportunity and can I buy each separately, either or both? OR, do I want an LGN-Prosperity membership for the products or for the income opportunity and can I buy them separately, either or both. And due to the recent addition to LGN of a similar luxury resort travel feature, you have to ask the additional question do I want to pay for the product one time for a lifetime (CSB) or every time I want to use it (LGN)?
- And finally, and most compelling, the Compensation Plan. Take the example of Scott Arvin’s 1st month in LGN. Scott indicated that his first month in LGN, December 2009 he personally sponsored 26 people which resulted in 16 cycles and $12,432 in his first month–best he’s ever done in a “first month” of an opportunity. And that also resulted in >$50K in commissions being earned by his downline. This also earned him the top spot in December in the company as the person cycling the most in that month; he received a $2K bonus from the company. On average, each of his 26 people cycled 3 times.Very impressive and something to get excited about I agree.Now, I have to make a couple assumptions because the comp plans, though both are “cyclers”, are very different.
It takes 6 people to cycle the LGN Matrix, best case they are all passive, worst, you have to sponsor all 6. In Club Sea Breeze (CSB), best case is also all passive, but in reality, the fewest is 2 to cycle the matrix and make your personal money and the most is 11.- #1 It takes 6 people to cycle both and collect personal commission.
- #2 Like in Scott’s case the 26 cycle an average of 3 times.
Using Scott’s numbers of 26 people; 16 cycles and an average of 3 cycles per person, and the requirement to sponsor 6 people to personally cycle and get personal money:
Associates make money 5 different ways in CSB, the example hits the first four:
#1 Personal Retail Sell Commission = $60/membership
All 26 are associates purchasing at wholesale and there is no retail sales commission in this scenario
#2 Personal Panel Over ride = $500/cycle
26/6 = 4 personal cycles at $500/cycle = $2,000
26 people cycled 3 times = 78 cycles/6 cycles per personal panel cycle = 13 more personal cycles or 13 x $500 = $6,500
#3 Sponsor Panel Over Ride = $250/cycle of each personally sponsored associate
26 people cycling an average of 3 times = 78 cycles at $250 = $19,500
#4 Leadership Bonus Pool
With 16 cycles this position earned the rank of *Navigator and 5 shares in the pool, but we don’t know how big the pool for the month is and the bonus per share, so this would only be a guess, the point being, one-star Navigator rank was achieved and 5 shares will be paid.
Total commissions on 26 people = $28,000+
- And there’s a 5th component to the CSB comp plan not even factored here.
Because of the Sponsor Over Ride of $250, the comp plan more than doubles Scott’s results in LGN in his first month. What’s even more impressive is the fact that this is “passive” income, i.e. you’re not actively doing anything to earn it. It’s a function of work (sponsoring) you’ve already done.
And of course these results for CSB are only estimates based upon the historical results from a competing opportunity, LGN, and actual results will vary from these estimates.
All factors considered, CSB is going to far and away represent the better opportunity.
Last comment, what ever you decide to do, I am here to help and support. This is my full time gig now, I closed the doors on a 26 year real estate appraisal and consulting business and have transitioned full time into marketing. I have the time and commitment, LGN will help provide some additional resources and CSB will provide the social component to business my prior career lacked.
Timing is critical in either opportunity, obviously the sooner you start, the sooner you and your group will begin to see results. Complete the Fill In Form to the right to get the information you need.
