As a business model, Ameriplan Health is unbeatable in its unique idea and the benefits it provides to members.For over 16 years, this company has been offering discounted health care services to members for a monthly fee ranging from $20 to $50.
Ameriplan Dental was the first discounted service to be launched by the company; it was soon followed by vision care, chiropractic care, prescription drugs and medical care.
This article aims to explore the income opportunity provided by Ameriplan to its Independent Business Owners (IBOs) through its MLM business. It’s tempting to read claims made by the company when it says it wants its IBOs to earn as much as $50,000 in the first year and a six figure income from the second year onwards. Let’s see if this is a realistic claim and see the pros and cons of the income opportunity.
1 Why Ameriplan USA?
2 An attractive compensation plan that offers 30% commission on all sales, good residual income, Ameriplan benefits to your family and a lot of other promotional offers that give you access to good discounts on purchases from merchant partners.
3 Considering the fact that 7 out of 10 Americans are uninsured or underinsured, IBOs have a good opportunity to promote Ameriplan’s program.
4 Ameriplan IBOs are given training when they join and they can start their own websites to promote the company’s products and to recruit new IBOs. There’s good back office support and an option to go in for paid training to learn how to earn more.
All these factors are tempting enough to pull people out of their regular work to join as an IBO in Ameriplan; yet people should also know, not everyone who joins hits the jackpot. For most reps, it’s difficult to earn a decent income even when they work full time.
Challenges faced by IBOs
1 When the product price is low, your commission’s also low. Ameriplan’s services are offered at between $20 and $50 a month. So though your commission rate’s high at 30%, you’ll need to generate a high volume of business to earn a decent residual income.
2 The training offered by the company is not sufficient to generate such big volumes of sale. At the most, they’ll tell you to list out details of people you know and approach them for business. This means you’ll have to spend a lot of time talking to them over the phone or meeting people to convince them to buy from you.
3 Once your contacts are exhausted, you’ll have to run behind strangers to promote your product. What image comes to mind when you think about “insurance salesmen”?
