DISTRIBUTOR OPPORTUNITIES
Could you use an extra $200 or more a month income? If so, the Flint River Ranch pet food business is one of the most exciting and profitable opportunities you will ever run across!
Flint River Ranch produces GREAT premium dog and cat foods with no chemical preservatives, no BHA, no BHT, no Ethoxyquin, no by-products, and no artificial flavors or colors. And, it’s delivered “Fresh from the Oven” to your customer’s home.
Imagine ... developing a network of people across the United States ordering dog and cat food for their pets ... and Flint River Ranch sending you a check each month.
Under a standard wholesale/retail sales program, an individual purchases at wholesale and adds normal profit for a retail sale. The advantage is that you receive a profit return when a sale is made.
The disadvantage is that there is a constant need to invest capital in product, overhead and advertising to generate profit. Customers relocate; change shopping habits and trade at other locations. When customer change, they are lost as a profit generator.
Flint River Ranch products are marketed through Associate Distributors by sharing product samples and information with pet owners.
Flint River Ranch Distributors seek to generate and build “residual” income that increases over a period of months and years. They do so by investing time and effort in building a customer base. This does not require major capital investment in inventory and advertising.
Some Distributors purchase inventory to generate initial customer sales. The customer is then encouraged to order direct from Flint River Ranch under that Distributor's ID #.
Other Distributors do not maintain inventory. They purchase samples or purchase product to make their own samples, and they then simply recommend and share “food samples” and distribute product order forms to customers so the customer can purchase direct from Flint River Ranch under that Distributor's ID #.
The value to the business is that Flint River Ranch Health Foods are the finest on the market and they cannot be purchased in wholesale discount stores. Once a customer is registered to a Distributor, the Distributor receives commission income on all purchases under the terms of the Marketing Plan.
Some Distributors elect to become Senior Distributors by enrolling individuals that want to earn extra income as Distributors. A Senior Distributor receives bonus income on all sales generated by their Distributors and customers. The choice to be a Senior Distributor depends upon each individual and meeting the requirements.
The key to business growth is patience, adding one customer or Distributor at a time and allowing the monthly income to build and compound from commissions and bonuses. The Flint River Ranch program is not designed to “get rich quick.” It is structured to build a “residual” or “retirement” income with a few years of dedicated effort.
It is easy to become a distributor. The payment plan is based on PV's.
WHAT ARE PV'S AND WHAT IS THE PAYMENT PLAN?
PV's (or Personal Volume) is the measure of the amount of pet food that FRR has sold to you and your customers during a calendar month. Each food product (dog food, cat food, treats) has a different PV value and the PV value differs with the size and type of each bag. For dog food, the value is about 1 PV per pound of food (ie - 20 lbs = 20 PVs, 40 lbs = 39 PVs. For cat food the rate is about 1.5 PVs per pound of food - 9 lbs = 15 PVs, 20 lbs - 36 PVs. For pet treats the value is about 1.5 to 2 PVs per pound - 5 lbs = 12 PVs, 10 lbs = 15 PVs and 20 lbs - 30 PVs.
You are paid based on the total number of PVs that you have accumulated during a calendar month, both through your own purchases and the amount of food that your customers have purchased. The formula is 19% times the Total PVs. For example, if you have accumulated 500 PVs during January, you will be paid $95 (19%*500). You must generate a minimum of 100 PVs per month in order for you to receive a commission check.
As time goes on, you can also make money by signing up other distributors.
As a Senior Distributor you make 5% on all of the PVs your distributors sell, even if one of those distributors doesn't meet the monthly minimum of 100 PVs. You make 4% for each of the distributors that one of your distributors signs up. This system goes on for ten 'generations' with each generation bringing you an additional 1 - 5% (see PV Table). So, for example, if one of your distributors generates 300 PVs worth of food, you get an additional 15 PVs in your monthly check (5% * 300). If one of his generates 250 PVs you get an additional 10 PVs (4% * 150).

The 3 Surprising Ways 'Pet Parents' Are Treating Their Pets Like Humans
Could today's children experience "sibling rivalry" -- with the family dog?
As an increasing number of Americans consider their pets to be like children -- and themselves to be "pet parents" -- the concept of sibling rivalry is taking on a whole new dimension.
According to a 2011 survey by Harris Interactive, over 9 in 10 pet owners (91 percent) say they consider their pet to be a member of their families. It turns out the tendency to perceive pets as family members may even have a biological basis -- a recent study by the Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital found mothers' brains showed similar responses to their babies and their dogs.
With pet owners fully embracing the role of "pet parents," a new trend has emerged called "pet humanization," which is the desire to provide pets with human-quality products. Since Americans spent $55.72 million on pet industry expenditures in 2013, this translates into big business, with consumers demanding premium products and with price being almost no object
Here are three surprising ways families are treating their pets like -- and sometimes better than -- humans:
1. They purchase "people quality" pet food -- According to Psychology Today, "74 percent of pet parents said that they share at least one meal with their dogs each day." As people dine with their pets, they also want their pets to consume the type of diet they eat themselves -- which means the pet food industry is rushing to catch up with more natural, organic pet fare. However, before you feed Fido a meal of quinoa and kale, keep in mind you need to research the diet appropriate for your breed. Golden Retrievers, for instance, will eat anything and may need a low-fat diet. Also, be sure you aren't offering your dog a repetitive diet. Mix it up with an assortment of foods such as salmon, duck and chicken -- your dog will appreciate it!
2. They secure the best doggie day care - Today's pet parents are vetting dog sitters the way people might vet a potential babysitter for their (human) children. When considering care for our Golden Retriever, for example, my wife and I interviewed four potential dog sitters. Some key interview questions included inquiring about a potential sitter's insurance and what they would do in case of an emergency. Also, a fun tip is to ask your sitter to snap a selfie with your dog during their visits, so you can see everything is okay.
3. They style and frequently groom their pets - From hoodies and flannel shirts to booties and raincoats, many pet parents are insisting that they and their pets wear matching styles. It's getting even more extreme with grooming. Pet parents may spend more on dog grooming than they would on their own hair. When selecting a groomer, be sure to communicate how you like the dog's hair to be styled and ensure they use the right shampoo -- for example, make sure hypoallergenic shampoo is used if your dog has allergies.
The Bottom Line
"Pet parents" are prioritizing and investing in their canine "kids." As people increasingly embrace pets as integral members of the family, the demand for human-quality pet food, service, clothing and grooming will continue to grow.
