Ambit Energy Scam – Is This New MLM Too Good To Be True?

I’ve been in the network marketing industry for about 5 years now.  I’ve seen some companies come and go, and I’ve seen their reps jump from company to company in hopes of finding the “next big thing”.  Is Ambit Energy it?  Is Ambit Energy a scam, or is it the real deal?

Well, for me at least, I’m going to pass.  I’ve met alot of people and developed a nice rolodex (especially in the last year or so) in this industry.   And after this company launched, I got about 20 calls from people asking me to join their downline.  Some calls were from people that knew of my online mlm lead generation system.  Some were even people that were in my downline before and QUIT!  I even had someone that I showed mlm to my first month in the industry, and all they could say was “oh, that’s a pyramid…” and BAM!!!  Five years later and they want me in their downline.

Well, I’m a firm believer in mentorship and giving to people straight.  Ambit is very similar to ACN (communications mlm) in that you make up to a few hundred dollars when someone signs up, but you make virtually NOTHING on the back end.  According to their website, it’s about $0.25 to $1.00 per customer per month.  I’d need to have 10,000 customers in my business just to be able to make a six figure income…  BLAH!

Ambit reps: you can sell the “residual income” pitch to your prospects, but be realistic with them.  Don’t tell them they’ll get rich off of the residuals.  Make sure they understand that they’ll need to sponsor over a dozen people per month to make a living!  And then have to sponsor a small country to make a living off of the residuals.  Make sense?

This is why many people in mlm have turned to “GPT” which stands for Get Paid Today.  And there’s dozens of other companies that you can make MORE than a few hundred dollars when you signup someone.

Ambit Energy is NOT a scam… but there are sure alot better network marketing companies to team up with.

That’s my 2 cents.
