World Financial Group Review: Sprawling financial services

A few weeks back a reader wrote in requesting a review of WealthWave.

I went over to WealthWave’s website and was met with a faceless corporation. No readily identifiable products, management or even a business model… was this even an MLM company?

Stock photos, blech. And what the heck is a “HowMoneyWorks company”???

There is a “team” section of WealthWave’s website… but access is password protected (no, seriously).

I was about to write back to the reader to request clarification I had the right company, when I spotted this in the WealthWave website footer;

WealthWave is a financial services marketing company that is associated with World Financial Group, Inc.

I didn’t know it at the time, but I was about to deep-dive into the Wealth Financial Group rabbit hole. [Continue reading…]

I-InsureMe Review: Insurance + pass-up chain recruitment

I-InsureMe operates in the insurance MLM niche.

The company is based out of Arizona in the US and headed up by owner and CEO Paul Langley.

The earliest business history I was able to find on Langley (right) was Clear Business Solutions.

I wasn’t able to pin down when it started but as per a Better Business Bureau listing, prior to 2005 Clear Business Solutions “offered a health care savings plan”.

As of March 2005, the company has ceased this type of business and now offers a service to close sales for coastal vacations business opportunities.

Coastal Vacations is your typical MLM travel niche recruitment opportunity.

According to Langley’s LinkedIn profile, he owned and operated Dedicated Financial Group from August 2006 to April 2014.

An official Dedicated Financial Group Facebook page describes the business as the “developer of the retirement rescue plan”.

Those Facebook posts link to still-available email marketing copy, which reveals Dedicated Financial Group was a financial services MLM opportunity.

Considering Dedicated Financial Group ended in April 2014 and I-InsureMe was launched that same month, it appears I-InsureMe was a rebranding.

Read on for a full review of I-InsureMe’s MLM opportunity. [Continue reading…]
