Why does Future World offer Communicatorships? Why doesn't the company market the products? Why do they need me?

Over 20 years ago, the founder of Future World, Dän Lee Dimke, Ph.D., was representing other companies that, like Future World, were selling information products. As a young entrepreneur, Dr. Dimke learned that he needed a great deal of support to get the product to the customer, create sales materials, and run the administrative side of the business.

How and when will I be paid?

Commissions are paid in the first week of every month for all activity through the end of the prior month. We do not hold commissions, so when you make a sale on the 30th of the month, you will be paid the very next week. Some companies require a minimum amount to be earned before a commission payment is sent. But, we do not. We promptly pay all commissions due each month.

And, there are no miscellaneous deductions for credit card processing fees, for administrative bank charges, service charges, for return package processing, or extra handling. All of these costs are covered by Future World, and you always make a full 50% of the retail price of the merchandise.

How can you offer such a high commission rate of 50% on every product I sell?

We are able to offer such a generous commission structure due to our over 17 years in business. Just a few years ago, we moved our offices to next to the D/FW International Airport, now the fifth busiest in the world.

Once we were here, we streamlined our operations and doubled our warehouse space. The cost reductions that we achieved were passed on to our Communicators and we INCREASED our Commission rate at that time from 40% to the full 50% it is today.

How much money can I make?

FUTURE WORLD has combined a portfolio of exciting, 21st Century business components to create an opportunity that is unlimited by the traditional boundaries and barriers of a conventional business opportunity. With the Zero-Limit™ opportunity there are no geographic "franchise" or "market" territories.

Your business isn't restricted by national borders. There are no maximum sales volume boundaries, no income quotas, and no earning limits. Your business isn't ever held back by warehouse or office size, order processing staff or telemarketing staff size limitations, or operating capital ceilings.

You can build a business as large, as far-reaching, and as rapidly expanding as you wish. Extend your sphere of business to global proportions, if you wish, by being able to offer your products and services to customers in any of the 195 nations of the free world. Because there really are no limits, we call it, simply, the Zero-Limit™ Marketing Plan.

With Future World's Zero-Limit™ approach, you alone determine how much you will earn and for how long. If you earn more than any other Communicator (our word for dealer) in your nation, you'll achieve recognition and awards.

You can sell one dollar's worth of merchandise or one hundred thousand dollar's worth and you will continue to earn the prevailing percentage of commission. (All of the merchandise currently offered pays a 50% commission on the merchandise amount). Commissions (or discounts) extend even higher if you elect to stock merchandise yourself (and can go as high as 85%). New categories or collections of products may be added in the future at different commission levels. But, we plan to continue offering our uncommonly high commission rate on our large core product line.

Unless one of our very few, common sense restrictions is violated, (see them listed on-line at: https://future-world.com/pages/nonos.htm), we're certainly not going to fire you. In contrast, our goal is to inspire you. You'll be pleased with the many fun and exciting ways that we've found to do this. Best of all, this is the ultimate in job security for the 21st Century, because, with Future World, YOU are the boss!

Do I have to carry any inventory or buy any products?

No. You can build an enormous Future World business without stocking a single product that you sell. So, the number of sales you can generate is never limited by the storage space in your garage, the quantity of packages you can haul to the post office in your car, or the number of hours in your day.

Future World provides the business infrastructure for you. We process your customers' orders. We answer their customer service calls. We bill their credit cards and make trips to the bank to deposit their checks. And, we package and ship their orders on your behalf from the streamlined fulfillment center at our World headquarters near the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (North America's busiest air transportation terminal).

But, we go even further. Future World's expert staff has decades of experience in global and domestic delivery methods and rates. We use that expertise everyday to insure that your customers receive their packages via the fastest, most reliable and least expensive method available. Because this shipping expertise is combined with our policy of shipping the same day an order is received (by 5 PM Eastern Time), the merchandise appears on your customer's doorstep so quickly that your customers will be amazed as well as delighted. And, happy customers buy again and again, generated repeat profits for you.

Being close to the Airport Post Office offers another unique advantage. It is one of the handful of Post Offices in America that is open 24 hours a day, 364 days a year. So, we are able to ship your customers packages, even on National Holidays!

How do I know if I've made a sale?

Nearly instant shipping would be a lofty enough goal for most companies. But, not at Future World. We have added the power of the Internet by installing a sophisticated email notification system. Whether your customer places their order by phone, mail, fax or on-line, if they have email, they will receive a personalized email confirmation the same day the order is received.

This confirming email tells them that their order was processed, the method of shipment, the expected time of delivery, and when applicable, the carrier and tracking number for their package. This allows your customers to track their packages on-line, just by clicking on the links in our confirming email.

There's more! We also send YOU a notification each time that you make a sale. We will let you know the name of your customer, and the total amount of the sale, so that you can keep track of your commissions every day.

No more waiting for paper statements to arrive, no calling the home office. You don't even have to log on to a site on the Internet, because, we take the initiative and send Order Notification Email to you! Managing your business with Future World couldn't be easier.

Are there any other costs? Is the $29.95 (£ 21) per month really all that is required?

You do not have any other required costs. And, there are free promotional materials right on-line at our specially created DigiDocs site. You will be able to personalize these forms easily, print them right at your computer, and make unlimited copies. And, you will have access to them the very first business day that you enroll. Included are business cards, stationery and envelope forms, postcards and advertising masters.

There are also low cost full color catalogs, and full color brochures available to purchase should you wish to distribute printed material (optional).

There are also several free and very low cost sources of Internet advertising we will direct you to. You will be given a special password to these sources the same day your enrollment is processed.

How do sales get credited to me?

When you clone, or otherwise enroll as a Future World Communicator, you receive a unique web site address.

When customers go to your web site, it is as if they receive a tag as they enter. This tag is carried with the customer throughout your site, so that orders received are coded to you automatically marked "here is an order from yourname's site". We then fill the order and send it to your customer, paying you a 50% commission on the retail amount of the purchase. We will email you and the customer the same day the order is processed.

If the order is placed by telephone, operators are located at our shipping facility and are trained to ask for the codes on the phone. They must enter this to continue the order. The voice mail system also asks for it. If necessary, we follow up with email, faxes and phone calls. Another follow up is done by the automated system monthly if there are any open items remaining.

While many companies only track online orders, Future World tracks all of your online, phone, fax, and postal mail orders.

Since we do not market directly, we have every incentive to give you full credit for the sale so that we both sell more as a result of our joint efforts. Our many Communicators who have been with us since the beginning, nearly 20 years ago, attest to our consistency, honesty and fairness.

Also, we use beneficial "cookie tracking" because this helps to ensure that you will be credited for the sales of people who don't buy the first time they visit, but come back later to make a purchase. We call our unique version of this feature "SiteLock" because it locks people into your site time and time again.

When a purchaser returns to Future World later, even if they do not get there directly, they will still return only to your site by virtue of our special "SiteLock" feature. To read more about how SiteLock works, go to: https://future-world.com/pages/sitelock.htm

You are a US company; I am in the United Kingdom. How does that work?

Thanks to the automatic conversion of credit card transactions (at usually very favorable rates), your e-commerce business will operate at the same nearly instantaneous speed all over the world. And, since the US dollar is the most widely pegged currency in the world, your site has the best possible financial position available, open to the largest number of people on the planet.

In addition to credit cards, we accept most currencies in cash (our mail is very safe, none has ever been lost in our dealings in nearly 20 years in over 100 countries) as well as international money orders and travelers checks in US dollars.

We have successfully been doing business with UK customers, and through our UK Communicators for nearly 20 years. The recent expansion of Internet access to UK residents in the last few months offers increased opportunty.

Can I make even more than 50% commission?

Yes, amazingly you can. Perhaps the generous 50% commission rate is not enough - What then? Well, with Future World, it's easy. As a Communicator, you have the option of purchasing and stocking many of our products at special wholesale prices. This means substantial discounts of 70%, 80% and in some cases 85% off the retail prices. So, when you are ready to give yourself a raise, you have the option of purchasing the best-selling products in quantity and make some truly whopping profits.

Every month we feature at least one product that is available at these deep discounts, and you can purchase as few as 10 each and enjoy these special prices. So, your profit potential really is limitless!!

What if I need assistance?

Your monthly subscription includes access to our proprietary site of specially designed tools and resources programmed just for Communicators. We also feature successful Communicators, and many of them have been generous enough to share their ideas and techniques as a guide. Could you get a job like this where the rest of the sales team all supports and encourages you to maximize your potential?

But that is not enough. Our entire staff is at your disposal, and what a staff it is. Every member of Future World's top management has postgraduate degrees in business. Each also possesses decades of practical experience in business operations and management, finance, computer programming, distributed network hardware and software, data and telecommunications, customer service and national and international product distribution systems.

We pride ourselves in answering all email quickly, sometimes within minutes, so that you can run your business and have customized and quality input. Email gives you the ability to link to resources that we present and to refer to the help you need over and over again. But, you can also fax us and use the phone system, too.

How long am I committed to Future World?

You have no long-term commitment to us. Your commitment to succeed is with yourself. You may cancel any time with a simple email giving your 30 days written notice, and that's it. But this is not nearly as important as the following question:

What is Future World's commitment to me? Will you be there for me in years to come?

All of us can think of someone who has been affected by mergers, contractions, closures, and most recently, the many "dot-bombs" (Internet businesses in or near bankruptcy). When the company you associate with goes out of business, then the business you've worked so hard to build is gone.

In most cases, you have little assurance that you can stay in business for more than a short time. Economic downturns, cost-cutting measures, poor management, and short-term thinking are responsible for the loss of thousands of jobs everyday.

In sharp contrast, Future World Corporation has had a solid existence with virtually no changes in its corporate structure, geographic location, or its fundamental business goals in nearly 20 years of operation. And, we intend to keep it that way to continue to assure that the opportunity we are offering you is one that you can plan to build upon for years to come.

How else does Future World show its commitment to entrepreneurs worldwide?

Future World believes that with good health and a little starting capital, success can be within anyone's grasp.

- Future World supports Doctors Without Borders (also known as Médecins Sans Frontières or MSF), which delivers emergency aid to victims of armed conflict, epidemics, and natural and man-made disasters, and to others who lack health care due to social or geographical isolation. MSF is an international network, which each year provides medical aid in more than 80 countries. In October 1999, MSF was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

In July 2002, Future World became a "Field Partner" helping Doctors Without Borders volunteers bring medical care every day through a monthly gift.

- To have your own business you need just a little money to start, so Future Worlds supports FINCA, an international microlender in third world nations. Microcredit is the extension of small loans (usually $40 to $400 US dollars) to entrepreneurs too poor to qualify for traditional bank loans. It has proven an effective and popular measure in the ongoing struggle against poverty, enabling those with initative, but no resources, to start small business, and become self employed.

FINCA was selected from more than 800,000 nonprofits as one of the nation's "100 Best Charities in 2001" by Worth magazine. In August 2002, Future World supported a Summer Matching Gift Challenge.

- Future World Corporation is also an American Red Cross member, and supports Public Broadcasting.
