With the exception of Putnam, The Elite Networker’s Founders launched Total Takeover earlier this year.

Total Takeover saw affiliates pay $89.95 a month and get paid to recruit other affiliates who did the same.

The scheme collapsed shortly after launch, but not before withholding owed commissions to affiliates who stopped paying their monthly fees.

Let Us Close appears to have flopped shortly after launch, with the company’s website now redirecting to that of The Elite Networker.

As per The Elite Networker’s logo, the company is “powered by Let Us Close”.

For all intents and purposes, The Elite Networker would appear to be a merger reboot of both Let Us Close and Total Takeover.

Read on for a full review of The Elite Networker MLM business opportunity.

Each new level of the binary is generated by doubling the previous level’s total number of positions.

Sales volume is tracked between both sides of the binary, with a 25% commission paid on the sales volume generated by the weaker binary side.

A 100% check match is also paid on binary earnings generated by personally recruited affiliates.

Joining The Elite Networker

Affiliate membership costs are not provided on The Elite Networker website.

As per the Fast Start (recruitment commission) description in The Elite Networker compensation plan however:

Earn 50% of the CV of all First orders of personally sponsored Distributors.

Note: $50 orders have 40CV.

This suggests that The Elite Networker affiliate membership is about $50 a month.

Conclusion

Without retail pricing provided, it’s a given that nobody is going to sign up as an Elite Networker preferred customer. Thus its inclusion can be reduced to a token attempt at pseudo-compliance.

As with Total Takeover, The Elite Networker is all about paying a monthly fee and then recruiting others who do the same.

The price is about half that of Total Takeover, likely a result of the opportunity flopping as fast as it did.

Let Us Close had a pricepoint of about $50 in prelaunch, with that reflective of The Elite Networker’s affiliate fee.

Basically coming off the failure of Total Takeover, Putnam’s relaunched Let Us Close with a new name and the Total Takeover founders have jumped on board.

As with all recruitment schemes, once affiliate recruitment slows down so too will commissions paid out.

Those at the bottom will first stop paying their monthly fee, meaning those above them stop getting paid.

They too then also stop paying their fees and as this effect slowly trickles up the company-wide affiliate genealogy, eventually an irreversible collapse is triggered.

Total Takeover lasted a few months and the initial incarnation of Let Us Close even shorter. The Elite Networker will likely follow a similar trajectory, with the bulk of fees paid in paid out to the Founders.
