Pros

The culture is top-notch. A lot of times companies say they have this great culture but then don't live it out, and BVM lives what it says. The opportunity - be in business for yourself but not by yourself.

Cons

If you are not self-motivated then this may not be the best, as you don't show up to a work-site and "punch-in-and-punch-out"

Didn't work for me, but still a fantastic opportunity and company

Business Outlook

Pros

Ability to be completely independant and virtually own the magazines you get to print Lots of resources to help you succeed and stay motivated Very simple selling process High income potential

Cons

Competition: N2 was already relatively saturated in my market, so there were a lot of potential sales that I lost because the clients tried N2 and it didn't work (because of the low home count). Working form home: This is not a con for the company, and I realize some people love working from home. I also thought I was one of those people, but it turned out to be much more difficult for me that I realized. It was hard to get into "work mode" when I am doing everything from my home computer. I would just recommend that you know you have the discipline to work from home before taking this kind of role.

Pros

The company is exactly what it says it is. I was skeptical at first, but after going through training and now having worked with them for a few months, there is no misdirection here. You can absolutely make great money if you follow their plan. Make your calls, get your yeses and it will all fall into place. It's not easy...no one said it was. But why take a job that doesn't challenge you. BVM certainly has a great business model, wonderful people, full training and support. Does it take time to succeed? Yes. Do you have to be highly motivated? Absolutely. Like others here have said, it isn't for everyone. But if you put in the work, you'll be rewarded.

Cons

It's not really a con (because this is what you sign up for), but you should have some money saved up to pay the bills until you reach baseline/start making money. It would be tough for someone to live for the first couple months at least.
