MLM Opportunity Review: Ambit Energy


by Cathy Yeatts

The Company

Ambit Energy is a network marketing company based in Texas that provides electricity and natural gas. The company was founded by its current CEO, Jere W. Thompson, Jr., and Chief Marketing Officer, Chris Chambless, in 1992.

Both Chambless and Thompson have achieved tremendous success in the telecommunications industry. Chambless was head of marketing for Excel Communications. Thompson began a $300 million company to spread fiber and broadband networks across Texas. With this kind of experience at the helm, Ambit seems set for overwhelming success.

The Service

Ambit Energy distributes electricity and natural gas throughout Texas, Illinois and New York. Customers experience no change in the way electricity is delivered to their homes, because energy travels through the same power lines no matter what company provides it.

For as long as most of us can remember, public utilities have held a monopoly over the energy industry. In the last few years, states have begun to deregulate those utilities.

If you have felt taken advantage of before by complacent state-run monopolies, you’re going to like the change brought about by deregulation. The competition for business causes providers like Ambit strive for your business by offering better rates and more attentive service.

Ambit comes into the competition armed with discounted service, no contracts to sign, and customer incentives, like Travel Rewards Points given each month based amount of energy used. Ambit has joined the Better Business Bureau and has a Customer Satisfaction Guarantee.

The Opportunity

With Ambit Energy, employees and consultants come first. It is the belief of the Executive Management that when distributors are treated well and helped to achieve their goals, the customers win too.

No doubt, energy is a convenient product for network marketers to offer. This is something that people use every day, and most of them would like to save money on their bills.

In contrast to other home business opportunities, there is no paperwork and no inventory. Consultants to not have to deliver product around town, and there is no ongoing customer service for them to do. Just sign the customers up and Ambit takes it from there.

The timing is excellent. Consultants stand to benefit from the rush of consumers recently freed from the monopoly of public utilities and searching for a better deal.

Ambit Energy’s Compensation Plan:

1. Earn up to $400 for customers you enroll in your first 12 weeks. You count as one, your website counts as two, and pending customers also count.

2. Earn $100 for every new Marketing Consultant you sponsor who enrolls four customers in their first four weeks. Advance in rank and you could earn as much as $190 for every new consultant in your organization.

3. Earn monthly commissions on every active customer in your organization through six levels.

4. Earn monthly bonuses on all of your team members’ customers, ranging from $0.50 to $2.00 through unlimited levels of your organization.

Ambit Energy markets electricity and natural gas both through distributor websites and traditional, one-on-one network marketing.

I have read some press labeling Ambit Energy a pyramid scheme. (Actually, a lot of mlm’s are accused of that.) Some mlm companies are considerably more profitable for long-timers than for beginners, whereas some offer very little room for upward expansion. Neither is an evil scheme. The bottom line is that would-be consultants need to know exactly what type of business they’re getting involved in, and to commit themselves to sticking with it long enough to succeed.

There are great benefits for team builders that could translate into substantial income. But sometimes the bigger the incentives for team leaders, the harder it is for the new guy to succeed. That is because part of his profits are going to pay the Team Builder Bonuses he hopes to earn one day. That is also why determination is so important in this business.
