What is
Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc.?
Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. is a 30 year old New
York Stock Exchange company headquartered in Ada, Oklahoma,
which has developed a nationwide network of quality law firms
to serve the legal needs of middle income families at reasonable
rates.
Why do I
need it?
Most Americans do not have access to quality legal
support. While you may never find yourself in a courtroom,
there are many benefits from having access to the services
of a top quality lawyer. Even if it's only to ask for information
about your legal rights, the potential savings through the
pre-paid legal concept can be substantial. In short, you need
it when you want to call a lawyer and do not want to have
to worry about how much it will cost!
Is it
worth the money?
Absolutely, and Pre-Paid Legal has never raised
membership fees for existing members…regardless of how
much they use the membership! In some cases, using your membership
once can justify the cost of the membership for an entire
year!
Is this
going to save me money, or be a waste of money?
You will have the benefit of knowing your Provider
Law Firm is there if you need them even if you do not call
them on a regular basis. However, some may not see the savings
potential based on access to lawyers alone. Fair enough…think
about the times you could have used a lawyer but didn't because
of the price. When you have a question or concern about a
document you need to sign or if you have difficulty with an
insurance claim, call. Call if you just want to know what
your legal rights are in any given situation. Call if you've
been treated unfairly by creditors or a business. Our members
who use the membership on a regular basis find the benefits
valuable and stay with us year after year after year.
Why would
I need to use it?
While there are many different ways to use your
membership, have you ever…
Been overcharged on a repair bill?
Received a moving traffic ticket?
Been audited?
Purchased a home?
Tried to return a defective product?
Lost a security deposit?
Signed a legal document (cell phone contract, auto purchase
agreement, lease, etc…)?
Had your will prepared, or wanted to?

How

and explain the situation. Then, a lawyer knowledgeable in
the area of law that concerns your specific question or need
will return your call as soon as possible. No claim forms,
no hassles. It's that easy.

How good
are the provider lawyers?
Only quality law firms are considered to become
Pre-Paid Legal Providers. Through rigorous screening processes
and continual quality control efforts, we ensure our members
are treated with respect and professionalism. We want you
to keep your membership and will do everything we can to prevent
cancellations due to bad service!
What
kind of a lawyer will I get for $26 per month or less?
Think of it like this… With over one million Pre-Paid
Legal members paying their monthly membership fee month
after month, we can represent a large portion of that law
firm's income. When a law firm has a client who pays a large
retainer month after month, they treat that client with
respect and strive to provide the best service possible.
Discussing & deciding to purchase a plan:
How can I meet with an associate to answer my remaining questions?
Contact

concerns you may have.
Becoming a member:
What about
my current legal need?

access to a lawyer for advice about any legal issue - including
pre-existing conditions. Should the law firm decide that you
need assistance beyond phone consultation, you will have access
to legal services at a special rate available only to our
members. To see the plan benefits available in your area,

ASSOCIATES:
Understanding the basic concept:
What is
a pre-paid legal membership?
A Pre-Paid Legal membership provides "pre-paid"
access to quality lawyers. For a variety of common legal needs,
it costs around $26 per month - or less.
What
is Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc.?
Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. is a 30 year old New
York Stock Exchange company headquartered in Ada, Oklahoma,
which has developed a nationwide network of top quality law
firms to serve the legal needs of middle income families at
reasonable rates.
What
would I do as an Associate?
The biggest question and concern most new Associates have
is, "What if I don't have a sales background?"
This is a business about showing, not selling. Marketing
Pre-Paid Legal is about simply sharing the membership with
those you talk with every day. Although available in Europe
for decades, Pre-Paid Legal plans are still relatively new
to most North Americans. As a Pre-Paid Legal Independent
Associate, you'll more than likely find your efforts directed
more at educating and explaining the service rather than
convincing people to buy something they feel they may not
need.
Getting the details:
How many
people that try this are successful?
You can read about some of our most successful associates
in our
success
stories
section. Keep in mind that these Associates have
dedicated themselves to being successful with Pre-Paid Legal
and that it did not happen overnight. This is not a get rich
quick scheme. Those who come into this opportunity looking
to "make a million in a month" will be disappointed.
Through corporate sponsored training, support from Associates
in the field, and much more, you will have the resources you
need to help you become successful. The success you will have
depends on your own efforts. Your Corporate and field support
team want you to succeed and will provide the necessary tools
and training for you to do so. You will be in business for
yourself, but not by yourself!
What
kind of people need pre-paid legal?
To learn more, please visit the
why
do I need legal protection
portion of my website.
How much
money can I really make?
Please visit the
income
potential
portion of my website for more information.
How much
money and time does it cost me to sell these plans?
It depends. Do you want a small part time income
supplement, or are you looking for something to replace your
current career? In this business, success is determined by
your dedicated effort. However, it IS NOT a complicated business
to learn. You can dedicate as much, or as little, time as
you determine is necessary to achieve your specific goals.
The monetary investment for you will be relatively low. Start
up fees are $249, and Pre-Paid Legal provides all the materials
you need to begin selling the membership. You also have access
to additional marketing materials such as videos, audios,
brochures, presentations, and more, but purchasing these is
not required to sell Pre-Paid Legal plans.
If you would like to speak one on one about becoming an Associate,
please feel free to
contact
me
.
Do I
pay an annual fee or a one-time start-up fee?
The cost to become an associate is a one-time fee.
If your state or province requires a license, you may be required
to pay an annual license fee.
To learn the status of your state or province, please feel
free to
contact
me
.
Who do
I sell these plans to?
This business provides a freedom for you to tell
anyone you come into contact with about Pre-Paid Legal. During
your training, you will be encouraged to develop a contact
list of people you already know. From this original list,
you can expand your contact list by asking each person (whether
they buy a membership from you or not) for the names of 3
other people they know who might be interested in Pre-Paid
Legal. Every time you approach one person, you have the potential
to walk away with three new leads!
Is Pre-Paid
Legal a credible company?
Pre-Paid legal is a credible, financially solid
company that:
-
Was founded in 1972
-
Has well over 1million Members across North America.
-
Is listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Do I
have to quit my current job?
No. This is your business; you choose what time
and effort you have to dedicate to your success. It is possible
to work smart and make the most of the time you have. Training
will be provided to show you how. You can dedicate as much,
or as little, time as you determine is necessary to achieve
your specific goals.
What
if this doesn't work out?
You're doing your research now by learning about
what this opportunity is all about. If you decide to invest
$249 into your future, we believe we can provide you with
a legitimate opportunity to make a living while making a difference.
However, consider this: If this were a large franchise offering
an opportunity to own your own business, you might consider
it. If it cost $249,000 to start, you'd have to ask yourself,
"What if it doesn't work?" or "Can I do this?"
Understandably, you have a lot to lose if you invest $249,000
into a business and it fails. However, at just $249 to start
your Pre-Paid Legal business, most people ask themselves,
"What if this DOES work?" It's not by luck that
you will succeed at this business. You will succeed by your
efforts and the proven business model presented to you through
training and support. If you're interested in the income potential
of this opportunity, please visit the
income
potential
portion of my website
or
contact me
for more information.
How
do I become an Independent Associate?
You can either
sign
up online
or you can
contact
me
for traditional enrollment.
Do I
need legal expertise?
No. In fact, our Independent Associates DO NOT provide
legal advice or counsel. You're responsible for explaining
the service and handling the paperwork for members you sign
up. You get to do your job, while letting the lawyers do theirs.
Is there
a market for these plans?
|
It took 10 years for HMOs to reach 2% market penetration.
After that, it took just 7 more years to reach 52% market
penetration.

What
are other associates saying?
You can read about some of our most successful associates
in our
success
stories
section.
Is training
and/or support available?
Absolutely! Included in your start-up fee is a one-day
"Fast Start" training course where you'll learn
from "the best of the best" field Associates and
top-notch trainers. Included in the training you'll learn:
-
How to get your business off the ground quickly.
-
How to sell the membership properly and professionally.
-
How to introduce the Pre-Paid Legal business opportunity
to others.
-
How to get connected to corporate and field support.
-
And much more.
Should
I start part-time or full-time?
This is entirely up to you. Do you want a small
part-time income supplement, or are you looking for something
to replace your current career? In this business, success
is determined by your dedicated effort. You can dedicate as
much, or as little, time as you determine is necessary to
achieve your specific goals.
Do I
have to have any experience/education?
Regardless of your background or education level,
this is an opportunity and business that can work for you
if you're willing to commit to it. Pre-Paid Legal Associates
come from all walks of life and professional backgrounds…
-
Education Printing
-
Real Estate Stay-at-home Parents
-
Direct Sales Advertising
-
Law Enforcement Insurance
-
Accountants Students
-
Postal Employees And many others…
Do I
have to be an expert salesperson?
No. In fact, products are all sold differently.
You wouldn't sell someone a car the same way you would sell
them a life insurance policy. The motivations for purchasing
products vary as greatly as the products themselves. Through
Pre-Paid Legal's training and support, you will learn how
to offer memberships through time-tested methods. Many of
our Associates are teachers, law enforcement officers, stay-at-home
parents, postal employees, students, and others who have had
no, or very little, sales experience prior to becoming Pre-Paid
Legal Associates.
How
do I get leads on potential customers?
This business provides a freedom for you to tell anyone
you come into contact with about Pre-Paid Legal. During
your training, you will be encouraged to develop a contact
list. This is a list of people you already know. From this
original list, you can expand your contact list by asking
each person, whether they buy a membership from you or not,
for the names of 3 other people who they know that might
be interested in what you have to offer. Every time you
approach one person, you have the potential to walk away
with at least three new leads! There is also a corporate
online lead generation program.
Contact
me
for more information about getting leads for your
business online.
Discussing
& deciding to become an associate:
What will my spouse/friends/family think?
Many so-called "opportunities" out there
discourage you from talking to family or friends before you
fork over your hard earned cash. They want you to make a decision
without THINKING. We want to encourage you to do whatever
research it takes to enable you to make an informed decision.
However, as the initial financial investment in this business
is relatively small ($249), the importance placed with it
can sometimes be underestimated. Instead of the low startup
fee Pre-Paid Legal requires, for a moment, consider this.
What if it cost $24,000 to start this business? Would you
ask someone who knew very little about the business you're
considering for advice that could make or break your business?
Of course not. Please feel free to consult with whomever you
wish, but keep in mind, you can get an opinion from anyone…but
those who understand this business may be your best contacts.
Don't hesitate to
contact
me
if you would like to discuss any aspect of this business
opportunity with no obligation.
I don't know about Multi-Level Marketing; is it legitimate?
Yes it is. While you have the option of earning
an income through direct sales only, multi-level marketing
is a legitimate method for bringing a product to market that
can allow you to leverage your business by earning income
from the efforts of new Associates you bring into the business.
Pre-Paid Legal was founded in 1972. Today Pre-Paid Legal is
a company with over three decades of experience, is the leader
in providers of legal service plans in North America, and
is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Our goal literally
is to revolutionize the way legal services are delivered in
North America and beyond by providing low cost access to top
quality law firms for middle-income individuals and families.
In essence, "Justice for All" truly becomes a reality.
When and/or How can I meet with an associate to answer
my remaining questions?

me

concerns you may have about this business.
Becoming an associate:
How do I sign up?

When can I start making money?
Immediately. After your associate application is
processed, you will be sent a package of materials to use

"self-starters" out there who want to get started
right away.
