To good to be true

[alpcon]

Has anyone heard of a company called Better Business Solutions? I was approached by this company a few days ago and it all sounds to good to be true. In short they offer the following:

Millions of pounds worth of contracts as leads for me to go and price up in the Southampton/Portsmouth area.

I give them 6.5% of the contract value if I get the job to build.

They say they carry out follow up calls to the customer after I have given my quote so as to finalise the deal. Plus reports, phone logs and copies of all correspondence to the customer.

They say that after a short while I will be able to bin my advertising as I wont need to anymore and they will also sort out all my own enquiries for building work.

But you have to part with £3,500 per year for admin costs

I wonder how many other companies in your area they are offering this same deal to? Reminds me of the fortune teller who told blokes what horse to pick in a race or which boxer she felt was going to win the fight and all she asked was for 10% of the winning bet .

So she would tell each client to bet on the opposite bloke thus no matter what she has to win (unless its a draw).

The United States has this growing cancer called Franchise drainers with a little song they play and to be part of the team you have to fork over 40% of your hard earned money thus you take the risks ,you pay the insurance , your in the front lines paying some block a few thousand miles away who chomping on a stinky his hefty commissions


A fool and his money are easily parted or there would not be so many businessmen seeking out drainers or plumbers to give up a commission to them for doing the same things a business owner can do ADVERTISE yourself and keep the money in your own pocket

Thanks guys this is also what I thought and I can imagine the amount of money they would earn if just 10% of the builders in my area took up their offer and they would all be going after the same jobs

As one of you stated a fool and his money is easily parted well i am sure i am not in this category which is why I asked you guys what you thought as one of you out here may well be signed on with them and doing very well

Thanks again for the replies
