OnlyGreen has the right to enforce these Rules through its contract with its Business Owners—up to and including terminating that contract.
Does OnlyGreen really give people more free time, or does it require a lot of time to succeed?
Like any small business, it takes hard work to succeed in the OnlyGreen direct selling environment, and that requires time and commitment, especially in the beginning. Our research shows that most people understand this very well. OnlyGreen does offer flexibility for our Independent EcoAdvisors in running their business. Unlike most conventional jobs, OnlyGreen Independent EcoAdvisors can work at home, when they want, at their own pace, on their own schedule, according to the goals they have set for themselves. For some, that means if they need an afternoon to attend a school play, play golf or see a friend, they can arrange their work schedule to allow this. The choice of when, where and how much time to devote to OnlyGreen is theirs alone. This flexibility is one important reason why the opportunity appeals to so many people around the world.
Is product pricing competitive?
Our products are very price-competitive and provide great value and quality. We know this from our market surveys, EcoAdvisor feedback and ultimately, by the sales growth of all our product lines. Our data shows that while some of our products may be slightly more expensive than their counterparts, others are less expensive and most are competitively priced. Products that may be slightly more expensive usually have greater features and benefits over competitive goods. Until the green movement really catches on, the cost efficiencies are not up to par, but demand will help bring those efficiencies into place more rapidly. Often, OnlyGreen ™ products are highly concentrated, meaning a single purchase lasts longer. On a cost-per-use basis, these products are priced very competitively. It is also important to note that OnlyGreen Independent EcoAdvisors are selling more than just products—they're also selling an exceptional level of service and the ability to do your part for the environment. OnlyGreen products are delivered directly to the OGEA and are backed by the OnlyGreen Satisfaction Guarantee.
Is it true that you don’t have to sell—just buy the products for yourself and recruit others to do the same?
You cannot make money in the OnlyGreen business unless OnlyGreen products are sold. To say otherwise misrepresents the OnlyGreen Sales and Marketing Plan—a violation of our rules.
What does OnlyGreen see as the role of women in the OnlyGreen business?
