Multi-Level Marketing Hits Wireless
by Andrew McCaskey
Crawl Back Under Your Rock
A bad economy is guaranteed to bring out bad actors. Network World has some details on the activities of a company called Global Verge, the multilevel marketing firm that is recruiting people to sell Zer01′s service, under the Buzzirk brand. That’s what a group of related companies including Zer01 Mobile, Buzzirk, Global Verge and Unified Technologies Group are promoting heavily online and at industry trade shows.
“Imagine downloading a two-hour HD movie in three minutes to your new cell phone, then plugging the phone into your TV to watch the film. Make unlimited phone calls, surf online as much as you like and send unlimited text messaging for $70 a month, without a contract. Sign up to sell the same service to other people and get $10 a month for each person you sell to. ”
Last incarnation, this company called Everge whose setup was very similar to Global Verge’s. It encouraged people to pay to become sales associates and then sell mobile services under the brand BizzBuzz. An Everge YouTube video from 2007 entices people to start selling the mobile service, which was to launch in 18 months.
Hopefully these characters will soon crawl back under their rock.
