Our ITV Ventures Story!

Hello and Welcome! Hi...we’re Jeni and Lisa...sisters and best friends!

Lisa is a wife and mommy to seven (yes SEVEN) wonderful kids. Her youngest is only 8 months old, and more than anything, she wants to be able to stay home with her. Her husband is a wonderful man, and a kindergarten a teacher (he’s just a huge kid at heart, so it’s his dream job), and as honorable as that is, they just couldn't live on a teacher's salary.

I’m (Jeni) also a wife and mommy to two very active, wonderful boys! Four years ago, my hubby had to quit his job because of a mystery illness that the doctors STILL can’t figure out. While it’s been great to have him home, it’s very hard to raise our little family on his social security disability income. More than anything, we want the means to get him to the best doctors in the country, and get him well.

Both Lisa and I KNEW that there was a business out there that we could do from home – we just had to find it. So, we set of on our journey. We researched and between the two of us, tried so many great businesses. To name a few:

  • XanGo
  • Zrii
  • My Power Mall
  • Omnitrition
  • Melaleuca
  • Pre-Paid Legal
  • Don Lapre (eek!)
  • Avon
  • Candlelite
  • Secret Shopper
  • Discovery Toys
  • Global Domains
  • Pay it Forward
  • Ugotitfirst

There are many more, I just lost track. While all these are GREAT companies that we REALLY believed in, we weren't able to make money in any of them.

Why? Simply because when it comes to telling people about my great business ventures, WE STINK! We were both losing friends by the bucket load because they were sick of us trying to recruit them. I’m sure other people are great at this and are now millionaires because of it, but I had to get it through my head that I’M JUST NOT GOOD AT RECRUITING PEOPLE!

There goes about 99% of work-at-home opportunities, huh? Sigh... (don’t you dare stop reading)

BUT THEN...

A few months ago, I found ITV Ventures. Lisa and I were both hesitant (obviously), but what caught our attention was that we wouldn't have to make calls, or recruit ANYONE! ITV Ventures would send calls to us! These calls come from people that have just watched a 30 minute infomercial, and are ready to buy!

I remember Lisa’s husband BEGGED her not to try YET ANOTHER home based business. lol After much research, she decided to go for it, and asked me to be her partner. YIKES! We actually had to borrow money to start the business.

We signed up at the first level, went through some great training, and began the Home Agent Program.

In the first two nights, we received (key word: received) NINE calls. Out of those nine, eight people bought the product, and two of them wanted to learn more about what we do.

It was amazing!!! we earned back my initial investment the first TWO NIGHTS!

BUT IT DOESN’T STOP THERE!

Four of those eight orders signed up for Order Assurance. That means that they will receive that same product month after month, and we will receive that commission, month after month. we don't even have to talk to them again.

Let’s just say that in one month, we sell $2000 in product (by people calling US, mind you), which is VERY easy to do. About $1500 of that will be repeat customers that receive their order automatically every month.

So then, the next month, if we sell $2000 in product again (very easy to do), We’ll have the commission from that $2000, PLUS the commission from the $1500 LAST month – And the pattern goes on and on!

That said, how sweet it is to make this statement, and believe it 1000%:

We both will have more than enough money to achieve our financial goals THIS YEAR!

And you can too. But we’re not going to beg, because we don’t have to. We’re going to and have more than enough money for our families whether you join or not. It’s your choice.

No Hype FAQ's About ITV Ventures!

Q. What is ITV Ventures™?

A. ITV Ventures™ is the sister company of ITV--
a six year old debt free multi media infomercial producer. This multimedia company has won some of the top award winning informercials being aired in North America.

This infomercial producer uses well know nationally recognized celebrities to promote branded health and nutrition products through direct response network marketing and drive sales directly to independent business owners.

Now independent business owners like us have the advantage of television marketing to promote exclusive products. Never again will we have to rely on family and friends to sell products to. Customers call the number during the infomercial to request more information and I take the call LIVE or I can call back the customer and answer the questions to take the orders.


Q. Where is ITV Ventures™ located?

A.
ITV Ventures™ business is located on Long Island New York, but your business can be located at your home office or kitchen table any where in the United States and soon in Canada. Our parent company has Corporate Offices in Massachusetts, Maine, Illinois and California and soon to open in Canada. There are over 500 employees working for this company and now you can work as an independent business owner.


Q. What does ITV Ventures™ have to offer me?

A. The
ITV Ventures™ business opportunity offers regular people the chance to position themselves in a home based business and earn as little or as much as they want, working full time or part time, from their homes. Our sister company spends millions in advertising and has had over 100 million is sales for 2006 alone with a 70% growth in revenue's over the past three years.


Q. Do I have to sell products to my family and friends?

A. HECK NO! With
ITV Ventures™ home based business opportunity you do not have to bother your family or friends and sell products. Our company spends millions to produce television infomercials and when people call in for more information the company makes the lead available to the independent business owner.


All you do is answer your phone and take the order from an interested person who wants more information about the product they saw on television. When that person purchases you receive 100% profit on the retail sale. When that person continues to purchase any of the nationally advertised products you benefit because they are your customer for life.


Q. What kind of products does the company offer?

A.
ITV Ventures™ business opportunity has many life changing and exclusive health and wellness products to offer. Make no mistake our sister company is a multimedia company so, the potential of products they can offer is unlimited. Currently the company has nationally recognized brand name health and wellness products, a make up product and is planning to add to the product line over 200 more items in the coming months.


Q. Do I have to stock the products and distribute to my customers?

A. NOPE! When becoming an independent business owner (IBO) you are not obligated to stock or ship any products. ITV Ventures™ will do all that work for you. All you do is compete an order online and tell us who you want to ship to and the company takes care of the rest. You do not have to worry about accepting cash or credit cards because your website is set up for you to make the transaction. You can drive repeat customers directly to your web site and have them enroll in our order assurance program.


Q. What is the order assurance program?

A. The order assurance program was designed to save time for the independent business owner. By enrolling your customer in the order assurance program you provide yourself a steady monthly sale and residual income. Although we encourage you to keep in contact with your customers, when they are on the order assurance program never have to worry about a repeat sale and you keep getting a residual income for the work you do one time.


Q. Isn't Multilevel Marketing(MLM) the pyramid thing?

A. Almost 100% of the time when this question is posed it is in reference to whether the company and opportunity is legal or illegal. Reference to a "pyramid scheme" has a negative connotation, meaning that the business is an illegal business or scam. Many times, the term is used to describe any kind of multilevel marketing business.


Let's deal with the question of legality first. The credibility of ITV stands on it's own. The company is well respected and continues to be recognized as the leader in the infomercial producing business. The integrity of this company is so solid and fully researched, that legality of this business model is not even an issue.

The beauty of the ITV Ventures™ compensation plan is that it is structured like a pyramid. Because this company is structured that way, you have the opportunity to earn money and benefit from the work and efforts of other people. This certainly does not make it illegal. The US Government and every single major corporation is structured like a pyramid. You have the CEO the VP and the employees.

In the business of network marketing, people at the top do not necessarily make all the money. It is very unlike the corporate structure that most people are familiar with. People that you sponsor into your business can, and often do, make more money working their business then you do. Everyone starts at square one and has the same opportunity to succeed. What you put into this business is what you will get out. In the terms of ITV Ventures™ as being a "pyramid", I'm proud to say that a pyramid is the most solid structure know to humankind.


Q. How much can I make?

A. The sky's the limit!! The amount of money you earn in this business is solely determined by your own efforts. If you work seriously, and receive the free training provided you will earn money. On the other hand if you do not have a commitment to working your business, all the free training and help from
ITV Leaders will not help you to earn. Some people work their business a few hours a week and others work it full time. Success only comes before work in the dictionary.


Q. I have tried network marketing before and I have not had any success. What makes ITV Ventures™ any different?

A. The restaurant analogy is best used here. Assuming you went to a restaurant last night and the food was horrible. The bread was stale, the main dish was bland even the desert was terrible. In addition, you were overcharged for the bad food and poor service. Now just because you had a bad experience at that one particular restaurant, are you going to give up on all restaurants forever?

ITV Ventures™ has set a new standard for network marketing by using the power of television to promote the products that you offer. These people have shown an interest or have had a past history of purchasing these nationally recognized branded products. This is the only company that drives sales to your business with paid television advertising. Think of this as your opportunity to have an ice cream store on the corner near the school.

A Bit More on the ITV Ventures Story

(I-Newswire) - Seven years ago, ITV Direct positioned itself to be first the turnkey infomercial provider in America. After several successful infomercials later and millions of products sold, ITV Direct created ITV Ventures in 2006 to help individuals make money from home selling their line of successful dietary supplements, cosmetics and books on natural health.

The entrepreneur who decides to work with them, called an IBO, waits for calls to be routed to their home phone by prospects who have seen an infomercial and are interested in buying. The IBO works from a script, and can make up to 100% profit from all the products they sell.

The benefits to this work at home opportunity are numerous. It is a lead-based program where all the IBO has to do is sell the product to customers who have all already expressed interest in one of the numerous products available. Many of them have already bought these products in the past, so are familiar with the process.

It is suggested that the IBO starts off working one product, but new options are available for IBOs who are comfortable switching scripts and can sell several different products. These options allow an IBO to handle calls from a customer who has seen any one of the numerous ITV infomercials. Other added improvements this month include a new chat window, which allows an IBO to get answers to their questions in real time, from any other IBO currently working who sees the question.

Because the program doesn't involve cold calling or garnering customer's interest, it is much easier to begin seeing a profit because people calling are already interested in the product. You also can see large residuals without recruiting anyone if you wish, though you will make income off of the people you sign up.All you need to start is a little money to begin, an internet connection, a landline phone with a headset, and a quiet place to work. You will get all the support you need from other IBOs and other materials to help you out.

Before you sign up, find out all your can about the person who you are signing up under, as they will pay a big part in your success. If possible, try to find other people who are using the same upline as you and find out how well the support is. This makes all the difference in the world. The right upline is an important key to success.

Many IBOs have reported income starting to come in within a couple of weeks, changing their fates quickly. ITV Ventures saves the time of building a customer base and finding a medium for advertising. Television is reported to be one of the fastest and easiest ways to sell products, but it is also expensive. ITV Ventures allows their IBOs to remove their high overhead on advertising costs by doing all the advertising for them and allowing them to concentrate on selling.

ITV Ventures is an easy program to begin, backed by a company with a commitment to improving people's lives and increasing your bottom line.

Choosing the Right Home-Based Business

This just in from Michael Rupkalvis:

Network marketing has played a prominent role in business for several decades. With the dramatic influence of the Internet, the presence of network marketing income opportunities has risen noticeably. So with this abundance of potential businesses to select from, what are some of the issues the novice to network marketing should take into account when making his decision?

Notwithstanding the marketing claims of instant success, you are going to have to work hard in any business endeavor in order to achieve your desired results. This is as true for network marketing as it is for any other form of business. So you should ask yourself:

Am I willing to commit the time necessary to make this
business opportunity succeed? Am I truly excited about the products I'll be selling?

Without the commitment on your part, its just not going to happen.

A crucial issue that is often left unaddressed in the excitement of signing up for a
new business opportunity is whether the company will give you, on an ongoing basis, the sales materials and brochures to help you in selling their products. You also need to find out upfront what training program they will be providing to you, and whether you will have an experienced mentor to go to should any issues arise.

Product research is absolutely necessary. Is there a good sized market for them? Are they competitively priced? Are existing customers for the products happy with them? If the products are not of good quality, well-priced and sought after, no amount of effort on your part is likely to prove successful. Also, what about the company itself? Try to find out how many years they have been operating. Are they just getting off the ground or do they already have a large base of satisfied customers?

Of course you should carefully examine the compensation structure being offered. Is it feasible that you will be able to build a significant downline below you, to help you create a residual income? If the company's network marketing system has been around for a long periods of time, that may be good - or bad.

Good, as it shows a stable organization, but it could also be bad, for it might indicate that the business opportunity element of the business may be saturated . Try to speak with some other people who have recently joined up and see how they are making out.

Carefully review the contract they will be asking you to sign. Be very sure of the financial commitments you'll be making. Are there monthly payments required? Monthly minimum purchases of products? And importantly, if you or the company later terminates the contract, what are your obligations?

With a small amount of luck you should be able to find a network marketing business opportunity that meets all of the requirements we have addressed above. Focus on the most important points. Look for a company that gets you excited and whose products have a large base of potential customers; where you'll be given
marketing and training advice as you need them; that offers a good compensation structure; that provides you a reasonable chance to build your downline; and where you won't be financially stressed.

THANKS MICHAEL!

Do YOU Have the Skills to be an Independent Business Owner?

Again from my pal Nick:

To start your own independent business, you do not require any specific education, qualifications, work experience, physical attributes or age limits. All that is needed is the will to succeed and an enterprising spirit. The basic requirement of owning a telephone, TV and an internet connection is the prime necessity in order to communicate with your customers from home.


Skills required if You Are Working Independently:
If you are working on your own without the help of a franchisor like ITV Ventures, you would have to undertake the entire task of setting up the business from the scratch. The first skill that would be required would be to learn to create an html web page. This is the most important step as it forms the base from where you would be launching your product and company image. This step can be eliminated if you join ITV Ventures as they provide you with the web page and have already created a positive name for themselves in the field.


The next skill you would require is that of writing, persuasion and communicating effectively. Should this be one of your weaknesses, there are a few options for improving these skills. You could take an online course or a course through your local community college. Another option is to read a few self-help books in these areas. With ITV Ventures, your website is created for you and there is proven scripting available for you to communicate effectively with your callers.

To help increase traffic to your website, another skill for you to have is online marketing. This could be one of the most difficult tasks as there are a number of competitors on the internet who find various innovative and creative ways of keeping their websites more attractive than others. The periods spent in learning this skill can take you away from concentrating on your sales and customer service. The advantage of joining ITV Ventures is that they do all this for you with some initial start up fees.

Skills Required to be an IBO with ITV Ventures:
In working with ITV Ventures the initial tasks of marketing and promoting the product is already completed. This gives you a ready platform to launch your products. The skills you would need to concentrate on are your sales and customer service skills. ITV Ventures will take care of the advertising and marketing.

ITV Ventures also provides you with traffic leads and interested clients. Instead of spending money on advertising and promotions (which could lead to thousands of dollars), your money will be spent on these leads. Those customers who are interested in the product from the infomercial aired will be directed to YOUR HOME PHONE NUMBER. All you have to concentrate on is closing the sale. Since people who are not interested do not call, you save time and effort and do not have to deal with convincing customers who are not interested in the product.

To improve your skills in closing a sale you can manage your daily activities as follows:

  • Create a professional office atmosphere to focus on your daily tasks and limit distractions.
  • Write down deadlines on a calendar and keep this within view. Start your day by looking at your calendar to get an idea of the tasks you need to accomplish.
  • Use color codes on the calendar such as red for high priority tasks and blue for accomplished tasks. This can increase your work efficiency.
  • Keep a reward system to keep yourself motivated to achieve success.

Time Management and ITV Ventures: Prioritize Your Daily Actions

From the desk of Wendy Hearn..

Many people have trouble fitting everything they would like to do into each day. Modern life can be pretty demanding when it comes to keeping up with our professional and personal commitments, never mind putting some hours aside for leisure time.

However, with a little forethought and a little structure you can make much better use of your time. The secret is to identify what really needs to be done in each day. If you look closely at how you spend your days you will probably find that there are many things that aren't really that important. You need to do whatever it takes to ensure that these never get in the way of the things that really need to be done.

So, at the beginning of each day or even the night before you need to sit down and think about what needs to be achieved from your day. I encourage you to write down the things that must be achieved and you could also make a list of things of lesser importance that maybe you would like to do, but aren't essential.

You need to prioritize the most important things you need to do and schedule them in as the first things you need to do in the day. This is a good idea for two reasons. First, it is good to get the important things done first. Second, you are likely to be more focused and energetic first thing in the day.

The important thing is that you do not allow any interruptions to get in the way of what really needs to be done. Once these tasks have been completed you can then think about other things you may want to do with your remaining time in a more relaxed manner.

Good Stuff! Thanks, Wendy!

Success in ITV Ventures!

Let's Talk About SUCCESS!

If You Really Want Success running Your Own Home Business, well then doesn't it make sense to associate yourself with some of the top income earners in the industry?

Not only will you learn how to do exactly what they do, they will continually assist you in your quest toward financial freedom. You will not only have me as your personal coach every step of the way, but you’ll have the resources of our entire ITV Leaders Team.

For you, this all sounds too good to be true. Well, that’s what broken dreams are made of. It can be scary to expand your comfort zone and venture into the unknown.

After all, one of the worst things for most of us is feeling like we have been taken. That’s what I was thinking when I was looking, too. But, as I realized, if you never take the risk on something that you actually resonate with, then you might as well go back to what you were doing, giving up on your life’s dreams.

I will also tell you that many people jump into businesses without looking at what it is that they will actually be doing, or the product line. They simply pick a business based on what it costs to get started. That is the biggest mistake I see people making. Pick a business with something that resonates with you and it will not be too good to be true...

Don't let anyone, including me, tell you what to do. Make your own decision. You'll either be glad you did, or regret that you didn't.

This is about YOU changing YOUR financial situation. If you are serious about changing your life forever, revisit my website below, then call me right away! I am ready and able to assist you!

ITV Ventures and Life Changing Questions You Can't Afford to Not Ask

Imagine finally taking off seven coats you've been wearing on top of each other for years and years. You've forgotten that some people consciously choose to live without seven layers of coats on even though most people are living that way.

You remember the possibilities you imagined your life would be when you were a child. You decide to take off the coats and start running joyfully through the spring fields you forgot about. You move into the light where you finally begin to laugh and live feeling inspired every day instead of simply walking around reacting to life, complaining, counting down the days to the next weekend or vacation until you finally die.

Start taking off the coats that have layered your soul since you started to grow up. Forget about the negativity of the news. Don't believe negative people telling you that you can't make more money or move to a nicer city or do anything to better your life. Ignore all the forces telling you what you can't do. Close your ears to people who blame their boss, the government, their friends, and their circumstances for what they don't like about their lives.

It's time to leave 'em all behind and say 'See ya!' It's time to adopt a new Belief System (yeah, whatever we believe is simply B.S. - just opinions we made up that may or may not actually be true.) It's time to drop all that limited thinking that keeps you stuck on the birth-school-work(paycheck-to-paycheck)-death merry-go-round.

It's time to learn the magic of saying YES. Make YES your new favorite word. Imagine what you want most in life right now. Dream BIG. Think of what your ideal life would look like. See all the tiny details. You have no limitations. You can have exactly what you want.

Money is no object. Your time is your own to spend as you like for as long as you wish. Dream BIGGER now.

  1. What fills your soul with more joy than you've ever felt before?
  2. Remember the best experience of your life?
  3. How are you spending your days and nights?
  4. Who are you with?
  5. What are you doing?
  6. What emotions are coming up?
  7. What smells are in the air?
  8. What are your favorite foods that you're eating and tasting?
  9. What cities and countries are you visiting?
  10. What are you wearing?

As you reach out to touch your loved ones you're sharing this life with what sensations run through your hands? -Get as specific as possible. The more specific you are the more you'll get out of doing this. I want you to see, hear, feel, taste and smell every little piece of the life you were born to live. YOUR DREAM HOME:

  1. As you walk into your dream house how big are the doors?
  2. How high are the walls?
  3. How much of the square footage is covered in windows?
  4. How have you furnished it?
  5. How many rooms does it have?
  6. How many rooms does your guest house have?
  7. How many acres of property do you own?
  8. What do you see outside of the windows?
  9. A meadow?
  10. A stream?
  11. The ocean?
  12. The sunset?
  13. Is this the most fantastic day of your life?

YES, it is. Get more in depth. See how your smile looks. Feel the warmth in your heart and the ease and peace in your spirit. Hear the sounds of the surroundings that feed your soul. Feel the excitement in your bones as you realize that you are actually living in your dream come true.

  1. How amazing do you feel right now?
  2. You deserve this life don't you?

YES, you do.This is no accident. If you are in a human body then you deserve to use it to build the life you truly want to be living. Hundreds of thousands of people are doing it right now. Can't you do it too? YES, you can. You may need some help, guidance and support, but you can and you will create the life of your dreams. YES, it's yours for the taking.

YES, you're ready. YES, you will live it now. How do you feel right now? YES, right now at this moment. Imagine feeling this light and warm every day. You're smiling aren't you? If you aren't then you didn't do the exercise above slow enough to absorb it and I invite you to do it again.

Feeling is what creates what we have and do. Positive thinking without honest feeling behind it will leave you wondering why nothing's changed.

When you learn to consciously create with your feelings you'll start getting better results in your life. Right now you're probably getting results based on your unconscious feelings. The scary part of this is that most people only feel in reaction to what happens to them. I'm teaching you how to create with your feelings instead.

Good Stuff!
