How will Global Verge - Buzzirk Mobile Address Top Concerns?

By Ellie Gant

You've probably heard some of the chatter by now about Global Verge. Buzzirk Mobile has chosen them to sell their VoIP phones and phone service. Global Verge e-associates will need to pass a test before they can sell the phones, and all websites will have to be compliant with federal SPAM regulations.

Global Verge is less than 8 months old at the time of this writing. They sell many other products, including Fathom video conferencing, and National ID Recovery, which allows people to recover data from hard drives. But all the buzz is around their new offering, Buzzirk Mobile.

Global Verge associates have been anxiously awaiting the release of the phone product. This put a lot of stress on the company, resulting in members not being able to get through on the phones for at least 3 weeks, credit cards were not being charged, and the member's information wasn't being updated within the company's websites.

Global Verge signed up with a new payment processor who also provides customer support. Now, when people stop their auto ship, or their credit cards expire, they will get a friendly call and hopefully fewer people will end up leaving the system.

According to Global Verge, Buzzirk Mobile, and Zero1 will require e-associates to pass a test before they can sell the phones. They are being very strict on how the phones can be advertised as well. Apparently the FCC and possibly the FTC are involved.

It's not going to be easy to get approved to sell this product. With the added strain of making sure the website is in compliance with all regulations, it looks even less appealing. And Global Verge is an MLM company, you will also need to recruit other people into your downline. This seems like quite a lot of work just to make a little money.

Why not go at this whole internet sales thing from a different angle? If you learn the basics of marketing, you won't have to sell a good product for a possibly unstable company, just because you think the product will sell. You'll be able to sell whatever product you like, because you will have the understanding to make the sales.

If you're already an e-associate with Global Verge, don't jump ship just yet. But if you were thinking about joining the company, my advice is to put your time into learning the marketing fundamentals first, and choosing the company last.
