DOWNEAST WINNING TEAM®

FULLER GOLD 2008 ®

Thank you for "opening the gates" to the Fuller Brush home business opportunity.  What a great way to gain financial success. Out of the thousands of "home business opportunities" out there, chances are most of them will be gone by next year.

One Company has stood the test of time: THE FULLER BRUSH COMPANY has built a reputation of quality and integrity. A Real Company that manufactures Real Quality American-made products for home and business, "Designed to Work, Crafted to Last, and Satisfaction Guaranteed" that have been an American Tradition and Legend since 1906 - A Century of Superior Home Cleaning Solutions. Few companies in America have the name recognition and product quality satisfaction guarantee that this "Sleeping Giant" has. Fuller has over 300 quality products that every home or small business needs and wants: natural-bristle hairbrushes, uniquely styled specialty cleaning brushes, brooms, mops, environmental cleaners - ready to use and concentrates - without harsh fumes, personal care, car care, gift items, and a steady influx of new products. Fuller Brush became such a household name that Hollywood even made two Fuller Brush movies, starring Red Skelton and Lucille Ball.  The Fuller Gold program’s goal is to restore the Fuller Brush Company to the pre-eminent role in American life it once had, and will have again!    Come and JOIN US in our quest.

Q. WHY should I join Fuller Brush?
A. Work your own schedule! Build a part-time or full-time business, earning $300/month or $3000/month or more, without the overhead of a store, inventory, thousands of dollars in investment, or employees to tie you down. 24hr audio newsletter with the latest news, and distributor only product specials is at 1-800-732-1132. Start a full-time business for under $50. There are thousands of opportunities out there.  Why work hard building your financial future with a company or an opportunity that may be gone next year, when you can team up with an American Legend? TIME Magazine credits Fuller Brush with an 80% name recognition. Public response makes this business FUN. You don't have to sell people on this company or the products - one of the biggest obstacles in most programs. Fuller has the stability and name recognition to make your job much easier. Fuller has a diversified product line that people use everyday, priced to be economical over time with their superior quality. "The Fuller Difference" means your customers will be calling to tell you how great the products work and how they do MORE than the product claims on the label, instead of less like store brand products. That means repeat business. Your business includes a mailorder and internet business. Fuller is celebrating its 100th Anniversary. Instead of people asking who you are and why they would need your product, the general response will be: "Fuller Brush! Where have you been? I haven’t seen you in ages. Do you still have ____? Can I have a catalog?" It makes selling so much easier, and fun.

Typical Product Testimonial of the "Fuller Difference":  Betsy B. had a problem with her children putting stickers on their clothes and throwing them in the wash. After going through the dryer, nothing would get the adhesive off the clothes. FB Customer Service said #660 STICKY STUFF REMOVER might do the job on cotton (but NOT recommended on some synthetic fabrics). She emailed me: "The Sticky Stuff Remover not only removed (with very little effort) the dryer-stuck stickers but also a dryer-stuck piece of gum off of a dress. This was done with very little effort and no damage to the clothes. Thank you Roland for all the money you saved me on new clothes."

•  TEAMWORK. Start and maintain Your Own Business with little to no startup or overhead expense. Be in business for yourself, but not by yourself, with our Team’s 16 years experience guiding you. Join the right Company AND the right Team.  If you are talking with other distributors about joining, ask if they are on our team. We have helped our team members to 22 Director or above advancements THIS century (12 since Sept 2005); ask them how many people their team has helped to advance. Our Team has an exclusive interactive distributor training website, with a Discussion, Q&A, and Announcements Board that other Fuller Brush groups do not have, plus the free print newsletters.

•  Wholesale Preferred Customers Buy direct from Fuller at a discount, or just sell enough to get your products FREE, your commission paying for your own products. If you appreciate quality economical products that last a long time and do the job right the first time, buy Fuller Brush or Stanley Home products for yourselves and family (or your business). 

•  SALES +/or RECRUITING. Make a living just selling the products. Fuller has provided Americans with full and part time incomes for 100 years. The top salespeople sell over $8000 per month personally. People who don’t think they want network marketing DO like knowing that if someone says they want to sell too, instead of them becoming your competition, you can sign them up and they deal directly with Fuller for everything, but you get referral commissions on their sales.  5/08 Update: Just send people to Fuller's new on-line application to sign people up with no paperwork.

•  Mail-order/internet Build a nationwide business with repeat sales, or a network marketing organization with a quality product line, and have the Help and Support needed to succeed. 2 for 1: The Company will give you a Free website selling both Fuller Brush and Stanley Home Products.  Just tell your customers about it!

•  Fund-raising Churches or organizations can join for FREE to raise money through our program. Simply join our web affiliate program as an individual or as an organization, referring people to the website for sales and commissions.

•  MONEY Others want lots of spending money, or a full time income to get away from a dead-end job that they hate (that was my [fulfilled] reason), to be in the business of controlling and increasing their leisure time, don’t quit over the first detour in their success plan, and are positive people who enjoy talking with other people.

•   NO requirements. YOU decide which of the above aspects of the business that you enjoy and do. No monthly quotas.  Positive Motivating Public response.

WHAT MAKES FULLER SO SPECIAL? click here!

• EARN 20-55% PROFIT THROUGH RETAILING

Unlike many Networking and MLM opportunities, Fuller Brush is an actual manufacturer, cutting out a level of middlemen, and can offer product value apart from the compensation plan. Many customers are joining as distributors because they can see the wide-open market. Distributors purchase products directly from the company at wholesale online or by mail or toll-free telephone. There are no minimum or maximum quotas. Fuller's consumables are priced right and save money by doing the job right the first time, costing less per use, and any customer will tell you how economical the brooms, mops, and brushes are because they last so long. Sell by mail-order, internet, home parties, fund-raisers, telephone, business to business, flea markets or shows, advertising, sharing the catalog with your friends/associates/co-workers, or even door to door if you wish. Even friends and family will be glad to see you offering the Fuller Brush quality product line. The Fuller name not only opens doors; it opens hearts and minds.

The chart below shows the commissions you can receive on your purchases and sales. You take your percentage off immediately and send in only the wholesale price. Use the products yourself if you want to be successful in telling others what you sell. How long would Henry Ford have been in business if he drove a Chevy?  Fuller products go on special every month in convenient inexpensive 16 page full color catalogs, and you take your percentage off those discounted prices!

All new distributors and wholesale Preferred Customers start off as Sales Associates, earning 20%-24%* on your first $600 PGV. (*Manager Drive bonus rewards producers by adding another 10% if you sell/buy $600 yourself within 5 months - see below). PGV is the retail value of your Personal purchases/sales and your Group’s Volume if you recruit other distributors. If you sell/purchase $200 your first month, you bypass 20% earning 22% on the entire amount; $400 your first month will give you 24% on the entire amount. The $600 requirement to become a Manager accumulates from month to month.

*Other qualifications are required to earn 53%-55%.

As soon as you have accumulated $600 in retail product volume (before discounts), you become a Manager permanently (until your next promotion) and earn a minimum 26% commission, and potential commissions jump very quickly up to 46%, giving many people the incentive to build at least some retail business for immediate extra cash.  Mail-order and internet sales are included in your personal sales figures.

Manager commissions are based on monthly volume and jump to 29% at $75 monthly retail value, 32% at $150; 35% at $250; 38% at $400; 41% at $550; 44% at $750; 45% at $950; 46% over $1750.   
**Professional retailers consistently selling $1750/month personally can earn an extra 1% quarterly bonus; $2000+ 2%; $2500+ 3%; and $3000+/month an extra 4%, giving you 50% off everything you buy or sell.

• FULLER DIRECT IS YOUR OWN MAIL ORDER & INTERNET BUSINESS

Fuller Direct will help you build a nationwide mailorder and internet business from your home. Fuller has the name recognition to get people to look at your catalog and order. Your customers can deal directly with The Fuller Brush Company. You place your ID# on the catalogs and your customers order direct from Fuller by mail or toll-free telephone. Fuller ships the product direct and mails you the retail profit and your customer list. Your customer is automatically coded as your customer for the next time that s/he calls to order for repeat sales, the key to our business.

The FullerDirect FREE website opportunity was launched in 2001 and accepts customers from anywhere in the US or Canada. And with Fuller Brush, free means free = NO setup fee and no monthly fee. It is a really great opportunity for any organizations trying to raise money. More details at Fundraising. If you have your own website, our team (not the Company) will also provide you with the html code and instructions to create a Fuller Direct Shopping button (like below) that will automatically enter your ID# into Fuller's secure shopping area.  This website was upgraded in July 2003 to also include all the Stanley Home Products and our monthly catalog specials.

• NETWORK MARKETING IS SHARING AN OPPORTUNITY

Fuller Brush is much more than a 100 year old retailing opportunity now. Join NOW and help celebrate Fuller's 100th Anniversary. You also have the Network Marketing opportunity of duplicating yourself and your efforts by finding other distributors for Fuller right from your first day and gaining the referral commission. In Fuller Brush there is no hassle; they order directly from Fuller. Your upline will help you to help them. Networking is simply word of mouth advertising and people helping people. When you find other people who want to make money in a proven established company (or who want to buy wholesale direct as a Preferred Customer), you sign them up and earn over-ride commissions on all of their sales, even though they deal directly with the Company for products and commission checks. And, unlike other companies that hide behind 'wholesale' or 'BV points', Fuller pays all commissions and over-rides based on the retail dollar figures of you and your distributors - in effect doubling the downline dollar pay-out compared to other companies.  I believe in maintaining a healthy personal sales, but I would rather help YOU to earn money and receive a small residual from Fuller in exchange, creating an on-going income, than to be totally dependent on my personal sales efforts.  YOU CAN TOO!

All of your downline distributors’ volume is added to yours to boost you up the commission ladder, and you earn over-ride commissions of your final percentage minus their percentage (i.e. 46% minus 20% = 26% on a brand new distributor to reward you for finding a new distributor). You get paid on each of your personal distributors’ total group volume no matter how many distributors are in each group. Build as wide or deep as you want. There are NO sponsoring or retailing requirements to have a group; you do need $35 personal purchases or sales each month to receive over-rides; simply replace your household products with Fuller and find a few customers to buy that volume for you. Nobody earns anything just signing people up; we earn over-rides on actual product movement, so sales and/or self-use of the product is necessary.  Networkers earn more on downline volume when there IS downline volume, and Fuller creates volume.  Your distributor resource website will keep you informed of your downline sales progress, as well as tracking your fullerdirect customers.

Recruiting will add to your volume to push you up to Manager. At the Manager level, if you sponsor 4 people or fundraising groups who sell (or who sponsor others who sell) $500 per month, that will put you at the 46% commission level on your own sales. If you sponsored only 2 productive distributors per month, after one year you'd have 24 groups to earn commissions on.   Of course, they will also recruit, growing your organization of distributors exponentially. 

The next level is Director. Directors earn at least 41% and up to 52%. Requirements are: For 3 months in a row, you need $3000+ group volume, at least $1500 outside your largest group, and at least 15 distributors ordering $35+ each month, and at least 5 of them on your Level 1. You will then be at 50%-52% and can earn 4%-6% on your people at the top of the Manager scale, and potentially 30-32% on a brand new distributor.  As a Director, when your distributors advance to Director, you can earn 5%-6% on their entire groups, even if they are more active and acquire a higher title than you. Even as a plain Director, you can earn at least a 3-5% override on 5 levels of Directors below you, including their entire personal groups. To repeat, these percentages are paid on the RETAIL dollar volume, not a wholesale or PV/BV figure, which can double your bonus check.  All the little details are part of your distributor kit. Personally, I spend my time making money, not on the details. I had a full time income even before I had downline Directors. 

If you want to build a business, promise yourself to set goals of:

A. Make your very first order a minimum of $150 before your discount, and Fuller will reward you with a FREE $50 Electrostatic Carpet Sweeper. They will also reward your sponsor with a free Sweeper. 

B. Commit to producing $600 in business ASAP, but at least within your first five months, and Fuller will reward you with (besides your initial commission) a $60 cash bonus, 1000 free double-sided business cards, and a Fuller magnetic car sign. Fuller will also reward your sponsor with a $45 cash bonus.

C. Sponsor other distributors or Fundraising Organizations. You will earn, besides the normal over-ride commissions, the bonuses described above (A & B) when you encourage your new dealers to properly build their business - the free sweepers, the $45 bonus, and an additional $45 bonus when they reach $1200 in personal sales within the month they join and the following 5 full months. Other cash bonuses also available to productive recruiters. Downline volume can quickly push you up to 46%-52%.
