A Strong Company with a Wonderful Culture of Support!

Pros

Best Version Media gives me the ability to run my own business and provide incredible magazines for the communities I serve. They are the "back office" and do everything from the design and layout of my magazines to the billing and collections from our sponsors. This gives me the time to focus on the most important aspects of my publications: the sponsors and the neighbors! The community loves this high-end magazine and the sponsors are able to be seen by the most influential customers in our communities. It is a win-win for everyone involved. It is a privilege to work with such a wonderful company! The culture of Best Version Media is second to none. My Regional Manager gives daily support and the home office is incredibly easy to work with. They respond to any concern with speed and efficiency. I highly recommend Best Version Media to anyone who is driven to succeed in running their own business.

Pros

There are so many excellent reasons to work with BVM. First and foremost, they have created a culture and environment that is both liberating and challenging. I feel free to be exactly who I am while I'm challenged to become more than I ever imagined. I truly run my own business without micro-management from corporate. I receive all the tools and ongoing training necessary for success. I set my own schedule and can easily incorporate life's unplanned surprises. I love the idea that my income is totally something that I control. As important as all of those factors are, I have a position and standing within my community that brings so much benefit to business owners, community organizations, and residents alike. All my family and friends are convinced I have found my dream job that is the perfect blend of all of my talents and strengths.

Cons

The biggest challenge I have experienced working with BVM is conquering my own tendency to be overly ambitious. I have to admit a slight weakness in organizational skills and this has bitten me in the tushy. BVM has not only encouraged personal and professional growth in this area but has offered both tangible and practical ways in which to foster this growth.

Best Version Media - Great opportunities nationwide!

Publisher

Business Outlook

Pros

Best Version Media provide amazing opportunities for growth on all levels, from unlimited income potential to becoming the 'Best Version' of yourself as an entrepreneur and publisher. The support and training is excellent and ongoing and gives you the autonomy to really achieve as much as you want.

Cons

The only con is the initial period of working towards a baseline to get your magazine to print. However, if you follow the company metrics and program, you get to print in 2-3 months and then earn residual commission of 80% of everything you sell , month after month, thereafter.
