I joined a company that provides discounted pricing for TV (cable or satellite), Phone (voip), Internet, Gas, and Electrical service. In addition, when a customer applies for service through my website, I get a residual payment every time the customers pay on his/her bill. I have offered this same opportunity to landlords in my area and they all say "no". This is a legal and ethical business. Could there be some potential liability that I'm missing?
So 'your rates' for electric service are below the rates of the utility company? How do you achieve that? I would be interested for apartment buildings in my area if you had a rate below the PUC tariff rate.
I am guessing it is a network marketing company? I would be interested in this in the future depending on the residuals. Where can we get more information?
@Carl Randal Yeah, I know what one is, and like I said, your business could be totally legit, but it still screams pyramid scheme, even if it isnt one.
Well @Carl Randal for me, it comes down to the fact that I'm in the real estate business. It appears that you are in the utilities business. While it might seem like a good idea to get landlords involved in what seems to be related, it's a different business. I wouldn't be interested in adding it to my real estate business either.
