iotum Intros Multi Level Marketing Scheme

iotum reportedly introduced a Multi Level Marketing Scheme (MLMS) that guarantees a 25 percent commission to individuals or companies that refer and sign up others. Percentages are also worked out based on revenue of each one who joins brought by direct usage and by signing up more people or enterprises.

iotum is the creator of Calliflower, a service specializing in VoIP conference calling which seamlessly brings together live voice, video, chat, conferencing, document sharing and recording for single location computers, geography independent laptops, and global roaming hand-held mobile devices.
“Calliflower helps business people have better, more engaging and productive meetings. In today’s economy where we are trying to do more with less,” said Alec Saunders (News - Alert), CEO, iotum.
The process for signing up for the MLMS is quite elementary. Become a member of the recently formed Calliflower Affiliate Network, get officially recognized as a Calliflower Certified Affiliate, and start signing up people by convincing friends, relatives, contacts and anyone else whom may benefit from this scheme. Once they join up, convince them to sign up more folks so that revenue keeps coming in. It sounds a bit like Amway, another old and popular MLMS.
“Calliflower is a natural offering for affiliate marketing, because it’s so useful and easy to sell – everyone makes conference calls,” said Saunders. “With Calliflower, our affiliate partners should be able to build a nice recurring monthly income by simply helping their customers, associates and friends to have better online meetings.”
It is advisable to first read the terms and conditions of the contract before signing up. There are a few important non-negotiable guidelines of what is not allowed such as absolutely no spam, no sex related promos, not being allowed to use ‘Calliflower’ and other iotum related information in unauthorized Uniform Resource Locator’s (URL’s) and Web pages.
Other areas of caution are a minimum balance of $100 must be maintained, non-usage for three months automatically cancels memberships, and commissions accrue in accounts only after credit card payments are proved not fraudulent.
Saunders adopted a direct marketing approach via a podcast during which he mentions that the global video conferencing business is $4 billion every year and growing at the rate of 20 percent.
