Ultimate Rep: Recent improvements announced
Posted by JD on August 14th, 2006
Update: January 16, 2008…
I no longer recommend Ultimate Rep.
Following Kevin Anderson’s untimely death in 2007, the program stagnated and then declined rapidly.
Yesterday, when I went to my subdomain there, I got an error message. Apparently, the site is down and that may be permanent.
Either way, without Kevin’s genius and drive behind it, Ultimate Rep is no longer recommended.
Original post:
I am a very happy member of Ultimate Rep, a program designed primarily to market Cognigen’s products and services.
Kevin Anderson, the founder of Cognigen Networks, is the brains behind the Ultimate Rep program.
Let me say now that unlike some of the programs I recommend, I’m not sure Cognigen and Ultimate Rep are for everyone.
Some programs are easy to promote, such as GDI or BringYourBuddy, but Cognigen concerns telecommunications products such as cell phones, Internet access, broadband, VoIP, webhosting, domain registration, and other similar services. It takes quite a bit of work for a new agent to “learn the ropes” and feel comfortable with everything Cognigen offers.
Likewise, Ultimate Rep is a rather complicated program and will take some time and effort to really make use of it. However, once you’ve got everything set up, it offers some powerful tools to promote your Cognigen business and several other income programs. If you work your Ultimate Rep promotions diligently, you can build several residual income streams, in addition to Cognigen.
When Ultimate Rep was first announced, it was a requirement that all members had to be paid members of Empowerism, because Empowerism had an excellent autoresponder with 18 followup messages.
Empowerism announced around the beginning of August that they were discontinuing their autoresponder service, and, as a result, Kevin announced that Ultimate Rep members no longer had to be paid members of Empowerism.
That means that Ultimate Rep is now completely free to join and you can use it to promote Cognigen and any of the other programs you choose. This should make it a bit more attractive to people who did not want to join Empowerism.
Kevin announced that he is personally writing the code for an autoresponder that will do the followup to prospects who inquire about Ultimate Rep. This means that the messages can be customized even better to promote Ultimate Rep.
So, although it is causing some disruption and means more work for Kevin, I think that this is a very positive change for Ultimate Rep.
If you’ve been on the fence, now you can get a free membership and see what’s going on with Ultimate Rep from the inside.
I now recommend that all Cognigen agents get a free membership in Ultimate Rep. You don’t have to join anything you don’t want, and, like Cognigen, you don’t have to pay to be a member.
Don’t wait, go get it.
