What Numis Network
has going for them is a lot of money behind them and a strong marketing
presence.
That's not uncommon in the
industry, so for me it's the substance of the offer that matters most.
I just don't care if a company did a zillion dollars in sales last year
or if Obama takes their berry juice. It's
the money my team will make that matters most.
I was encouraged to learn
that the P.O.W. owner has a great deal of experience in precious metals,
was a top earner in a silver mlm from the past, and worked for many years
as an mlm industry consultant and programmer.
My own networking and business
experience made me gravitate to P.O.W. based on a number of factors, but
my knowledge base was not enough.
I had to seek out the wisdom of experienced precious metals investors and
coin collectors before I could compare the two companies properly.
Soon, from a product perspective
and a numbers perspective, Numis Network completely fell apart for me.
1. No experienced
precious metals investor will look at Numis seriously because
there is no access to bullion, only to numismatic coins. Bullion
investors see the highest number of ounces of silver/gold they can get
for their money, not the fewest.
2. No experienced
numismatics collectors will look at Numis seriously either...
First, the prices
are at the high-end of retail.
Second, my coin collecter
friend said the product is mainly ANACS graded versus the top graders,
PCGS and NGC. He said ANACS has no respect in the coin world
as it's too closely associated with TV Shopping and what he called the
high-priced and over-graded products sold to the masses.
I talked to a former Numis
member who tried to sell his Numis coins at a coin shop. The owner
would not pay more than silver spot price (today about $30) for an ANACS
MS70 silver dollar that Numis sells for $100. The P.O.W. graded coins
are only from the best graders, and priced within expected retail, even
better if you factor in shipping. You can resell your coins for pretty
much what you paid for them, more as silver appreciates.
3. Numis targets non-investors
and non-collectors
who they hope to get
fired up about the opportunity, but who don't really understand collecting.
Sooner or later, they get wise.
4. P.O.W. targets
experienced investors and networkers who prefer a low-hype high-value approach.
5. The Numis program
costs double what P.O.W. costs, ($499
vs $249) so it's a more difficult buying decision.
6.The
Numis Fast Start is $100, as is P.O.W.'s, but with P.O.W.
you need only 2 fast starts to break even.
7.The
Numis binary pays $30 for 300/300, whereas P.O.W. pays $100 for 300/300.
This works out to over three times more
money from P.O.W. in the binary.
8.Yes,
Numis has a coded bonus and other comp plan features. Only top networkers
will access much of that. I call it the industry's "reverse robin
hood" trend. You'll get a lot of dropouts since newer people and
average networkers make so much less due to the fact that so much money
is out of their reach. People
prefer P.O.W. for it's simplicity, and access to the entire comp plan from
day one.
To sum up, you pay a lot
more for Numis but get a lot less in terms of product value and realistic
earnings potential.
What you do get is a better
marketing presence from Numis at this point in time, but from what I've
seen that doesn't hold interest for long.
I left the industry 4 years
ago due to the increasing hype and complication. It leads only to
fewer people making money.
My top criteria when looking
at an mlm is that it has to give an average person a realistic shot at
breaking even on their expenditures and getting into profit quickly.
If it did not have that, then I'd be building a house of cards, and jumping
into something else every 3 months. I just can't live like that,
and I think there's a lot of savvy networkers who are really tired of it
too.
