Is The Berry Tree A Scam?

Hello to everyone interested in The Berry Tree Opportunity. I will give you a brief and unbiased review of The Berry Tree. First of all, I know that there are a lot of people wondering if The Berry Tree is a legitimate home business and if they can/will earn money in The Berry Tree.

Let's start by defining the word "SCAM" in relations to the home business arena...

1. A company, organization or entity that makes CLAIMS with no intention of fulfilling those claims.
2. A company, organization or entity that has no morals or integrity and it's primary "mission" is financial gain with no possible return to it's clients.
3. A company, organization or entity with no known products or services.

Attempting my best here to be unbiased, I nor anyone else can legitimately say that The Berry Tree is a scam.

(1) The Berry Tree has made no CLAIMS of income. It does not state on the site that there is a guaranteed amount of income that you'll receive in a certain amount of time.

(2) Being that I've talked to the owners and creators of The Berry Tree (face to face), I can honestly say that MORALS & INTEGRITY stands out more than any other network marketing company or entity I've ever dealt with. It was a pleasure to meet Art & Rob Phelps (brothers), Bob & Blair Bremner (father & son) and many other executives of the company in Orlando, Florida at the 2007 Convention.

(3) Being that I receive products on a monthly bases and have personally visited the Nutronix/Berry Tree headquarters in Mechanicsville, VA, it would be an outright lie for anyone to say that The Berry Tree or Nutronix International don't have legitimate products. Bob Bremner (one of the owners of Nutronix International) gave me a personal tour of the building. I even got "toured" through the shipping/receiving area where I visually saw REAL PEOPLE packaging REAL PRODUCTS to be shipped out.

Of course The Berry Tree is a division of Nutronix International. They ship their products from the same location. They both are helping people in over 60 countries around the world. I've introduced people to their products and have received some excellent feed back on those products.

With all of that being said, in the past I've also worked with other companies in the Health & Wellness field like Melaleuca and Shaklee, just to name a few. Honestly speaking, those 2 companies really had EXCELLENT products as well. However, I joined those businesses because I wanted to help people AND get paid a decent income at the same time. The latter did not happen. In my honest opinion, if you want a spot in the Health and Wellness Home Business Arena, there's no other company online or offline that can even come close to the compensation plan of The Berry Tree. If money is not an issue for you, then go join Shaklee or Melaleuca. But let it be known that you'll have to convince your prospects to convert their entire household to Shaklee or Melaleuca products which are very good but outrageously expensive.

So why are people crying "Berry Tree SCAM"?

The answer to that question is quite obvious. This is not to put the blame on any Berry Tree members or any specific groups of people. But it is a fact that many members do not follow up with their new signups who are just joining their organization. These new signups have NO IDEA what to do or how to become more "involved" with the program. Of course, it also helps to have a "TEAM" system in place that would help those newbies market the program as well.

When those newbies don't get the attention that they need or have no idea what's going on then they say, "I've been in for 2 months and I haven't made a dime!" Well, they don't know that they've already accumulated 2 BMCs (1 upon signup & 1 every 2 months) which is bringing them closer to earning on EVERY monthly membership order in the entire company! There's no guarantee that you'll get 1, 2 or 3 guaranteed signups within your first month or even your second month. However, there IS a guarantee that you WILL earn those Berry Member Credits just by remaining a member. BMCs are a powerful part of The Berry Tree's Compensation Plan but yet most newbies don't understand how they work.

Another reason that some current members are not as successful as others is that they refuse to learn how to market the program. These very few members joined The Berry Tree and began marketing their affiliate links online and offline. This is a bad move. Why? Because people (prospects) who are interested in the opportunity CAN NOT contact the owner of that affiliate site. There's no lead capture form, no sponsor email address and no telephone number for prospects to call. Again, this is where they are totally lost and have refused to check into all of the services that are listed in their Automatic Builder backoffice. Instead of marketing their affiliate sites they should be marketing a lead capture page. I've even gone to the extent of creating capture pages for my team to use as an additional option. This is in addition to the abundance of resources that the company has to offer.

Bottom line...

People will complain about Walmart being too crowed even though Walmart has (in general) the best prices on retail products. People will complain about gas prices even though there are so many ways to earn an additional income to cover those fuel expenses. People will complain about everything on the Internet although they would cry like a baby if the government took the Internet away. The Berry Tree is an EXCELLENT income opportunity but if you don't use it correctly AND learn all of the details then you might also unjustly call it a SCAM.

Learn All there is to know about The Berry Tree!

I joined The Berry Tree and Nutronix International on February 24th, 2007. I was a full time truck driver at the time. I worked the business for about a year before I was able to retire from the trucking industry. As of March 1st, 2008 I now work for MYSELF. Even thought my commute to work was only about 12 miles, I'm now able to commute to work in about 12 STEPS (down the hall into my office). OK, maybe 30 steps; it's a long hall:-)

I hope this posting helps you in making a decision about The Berry Tree. It was certainly my pleasure to "set the records straight". Feel free to contact me directly if you have any additional questions about this opportunity.
