Basically, I got started in Pre-Paid Legal Services while making real estate deals, talking to other investors, and getting to know landlords and property managers. As we talked, I would say, “By the way, I found this really great service.” I would pull out a brochure and an application (even though I was not selling the service at the time). I just saw it as valuable. Then I found out I could actually turn these recommendations into a business as an independent associate.
Pre-Paid Legal Services can even be another income source for you. Becoming a sales representative requires going through train-ing and sticktrain-ing with it so you can make it work for you. If you are
interested, we will work with you using our resources and Internet training as well as training and meetings in most major cities. In addition to hosting conference training calls, we also sponsor weekly and monthly events for yourself and your guests. As an associate, you can get access to our beautiful multi-million-dollar web site, which becomes your site and allows you to sign up new members online.
How the Business of Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc., Works
First become a member of Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc., so you can experience the services firsthand. Then become an indepen-dent associate, working both for yourself and within this large organization. You are the boss, so you can make your own busi-ness as large or as small as you want it. When you join my group (go to www.shemin.com for details), we support you in whatever way we can.
You can easily start by selling individual memberships one on one, as I did in the beginning. Commissions start at about $75 per membership. For example, if you interest people through the brochure and they go to your web site, or you give them a tape or video and they sign up for the service, you will get a commission of about $75 per membership. That amount goes up once you sell a certain number of memberships. Please read the actual agree-ment on my web site (www.shemin.com).
You can go into mainly small- and medium-sized companies to enroll 20 to 100 people at a time. Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc., is one of the hottest employee benefits going. Across the country, we are uncovering a huge demand for Pre-Paid Legal Services and we have penetrated only 1 to 2 percent of the market.
You can get paid for training and developing a sales force and make overrides on what they do, just like any other sales business does. Pre-Paid Legal Services has a sales commission plan similar

to those of most finance and insurance companies in this country.
You can make a great part-time or full-time income. Some people develop large national sales forces and make overrides that are sub-stantial.
Questions and Answers
Q. What do you get for the fee you pay to be an associate?
A. When you pay the one-time fee of about $249, you get trained in the product and receive sales materials. You also get a home study course and access to a local fast-start training class.
Q. How well can you expect to do financially by going into Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc., as a business?
A. Let me first give you a comparison. A friend of mine just bought one of the top franchises in the United States, a retail store. He spent $120,000 on that business. In his first year of operation, he plans to make between $10,000 and $20,000 working six days a week. He mortgaged his house and is
$90,000 in debt, so you can see he is serious about the busi-ness. In the second year, he will make $30,000 to $40,000; in the third year, $50,000 to $80,000. In the fourth or fifth year, he might sell it and pocket $200,000.
The RICH Formula
Stop trading your hours for dollars. Real estate investing is one way to do that; so is Pre-Paid Legal Services. This is because it can make you RICH. Remember that term? Residual Income Creates Happiness.
I have met people who still receive residual income checks and have not sold a membership in 10 or 12 years. If you are interested, go out, get trained, work hard, stick with it on a part-time or full-time basis, and develop a small, medium, or large residual income down the road.
Just as in most businesses, including real estate investing, most people who become involved do nothing. The people who do nothing are paid nothing; the people who do little are paid little; and those who do a lot reap commensurate rewards.
The investment for Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc., is a one-time fee plus (in about 14 states) a fee of about $130 to get a license to sell. Personally, I think it is too low. If the fee to sell these services was $30,000, some serious people would still step forward.
If you come in for $249 and sell five memberships, you would bring in about $500. That puts you in the profit zone immediately. If you sell five to seven memberships a month for a year, you can earn trips to exotic locations and a car allowance of about $300 a month besides the commission.
I’m sold on this program both as a service and as another source of income. I encourage you to look into this today at www.shemin.com.
Please consult company brochures and contracts, because commissions, coverages, and bonuses may change.
