Hello Michael, I joined PAS about a week ago, and already had my first sale. The difference between PAS and Emerald Passport is that PAS is a 1up program, meaning there is only one training sale and then you are out on your own. I would be happy to answer questions for you or for anyone else, feel free to email me at mikelandin@gmail.com or aim at fitch111.
I don't know if you have had your questions answered. I have been in this for 5 weeks, qualified and have 4 paylines. This works and the biggest difference between this and Emerald Passport is that it is fully automated from start to finish besided being a 1 up. Let me know if you need anything.
Hi Michael,
I also have only been in PAS a week and have done very well.If you have the opprotunity to do this,you should jump on it.Its getting bigger everyday.
IMO, It is a ingenious Idea that was created to cover the reasons why over 90% of people in direct sales/network marketing/ or even MLM - fail.
They have professional Team Leaders, who are very efficient in telemarketing. Although basically all they do is answer a prospect's questions. There are no hard selling tactics here
PAS will promote itself and your current business, product, or service (if you have one). If you don't have one, PAS becomes your product/service.
Quote from the main site:
"What is the Prosperity Automated System?
5 years in research, and with an investment in excess of $3m, The Prosperity Automated System (PAS) is quite simply the most advanced online business & prospecting system of it's kind in the world today.
It is a very powerful prospecting and sorting system which attracts people who are serious about building an online income. It then electronically sorts through all these prospects to weed out the tire kickers, so you don’t have to - by talking with each prospect personally. This saves hours upon hours of phoning strangers and cold calling .. .something that is for most a major cause of failure.
The result is that only serious buyers remain in your system. If they purchase a system from you, that's great! If not, they can still purchase your alternative product if you have one. The PAS system, hosted on the Prosperity Network servers, is sold on the basis of a license agreement, as is virtually all software. You purchase the rights to use this automated system for either 12 or 36 months, depending upon your level of purchase.
So simply look at PAS as very similar to paying for a service, just as you would do a telephone company or Internet service provider - i.e. you are paying to access and use their service, you are not buying or paying for a physical product. You're also (of course) indirectly paying for the PAS system to generate prime quality leads (prospects) and for the PAS sales team to follow up on all your leads (prospects) for you. Ultimately, you either "use" the PAS system to help you market any other home business you are currently involved with - or you use the PAS system and allow it to market itself. The choice is yours ..."

There are 2 PAS Business Packages and 1 Associate level available:
* The PAS Premier Package at $3,895 (£2,240). (comes with 36 month license agreement)
* The PAS Basic Package at $1,995 (£1,150). (comes with 12 month license agreement)
The difference between the two packages:
* At the Premier level, you’ll receive $3,000 (£1,725) commission per $3,895 (£2,240) sale – or $1,100 (£1,725) per $1,995 (£1,150) sale.
* At the Basic level, you’ll receive a maximum of $1,100 commission irrespective of the value of the sale PAS make for you.
The Associate level has a registration fee of $49.95. Associates have to do their own prospecting, since they have not purchased the system to do it for them, and they will roll up three qualifiers instead of one, before they earn income.
I'm a former MLM Business owner (we closed our doors after 6 years, in January '06).
The goal of my former company (eTravel Plus) was to provide a long-term means for people to attain their goals. My partner & I worked for 6 years, using our own money to subsidize the business. Let me tell you, it is not easy running an MLM business. Some people have the misconception that the owners just slap together a comp plan, hire a few low-budget programmers to develop a website, think up a product line, launch the company, then kick back in their recliner while the dough rolls in.
I can tell you that, for us at least, this was far from the truth. I sacrificed much ... (family time, finances, sleep) over those six years. At the end, we had to make the gut-wrenching, dream-killing decision of closing the company. We simply ran out of money to sustain it. We had to stop the financial bleeding. What added to the hurt was that we felt we were letting down our remaining agents as well. It was a tough time.
It took about a month to get over the mourning period. But, I've got entrepreneuralism in my blood, and I don't think I'll ever stop seeking/looking for ways to avoid working for someone else.
Let me tell you, it's MUCH easier being a distributor/affilliate/employee of a company versus being an owner/manager. MUCH easier!
I've now begun a new project. As a former MLM company owner, I've acquired a lot of knowledge/experiences of what it takes to sustain (even if only for 6 years) an MLM business. With that knowledge, I am now taking a look at home-based business opportunities (not always necessarily MLMs). Armed with past "inside" experience, I'm better prepared to ask the right questions prior to jumping in.
Enter the Proseperity Automated System (PAS). Did you know that you can sign up for as little as $49.95? Did you also know that you can still purchase as many Traffic Packs as those who pay the full amount? I've done just that, so my going in risk is minimal, but the upside potential is the same as for those that paid the full price. All it took was asking the right questions.
Now, there is one distinct difference. My PAS system will have to generate 3 sales (versus 1) before I qualify to earn anything. But given the risk to reward ratio, (and having been what I've been through over ther years) made this a no-brainer.
I've put together a series of messages that describe, in detail, my own personal experience with PAS thus far, including details of my discussions with Team Leaders, my ongoing stats (Hits, Opt-Ins, and Call-Backs), and more. Rather than copy and paste it all on this post, I've made it available for anyone at:

It is an honest account of my dealings with PAS thus far. No fluff, no hype, just the honest truth.
I just got off of a PAS Membership call (Saturday, 4/15/2006, 10am-11am PST). While I listened to the call, I took notes via MS Windows Notepad by typing as fast as I could. I was quite surprised (pleasantly) to hear what changes/improvements lie ahead. The "transcript" I created is quite lengthy, and I did my best to paraphrase accurately.
It's way too long to post here (would consume more than 2-3 webpages). If you'd like to see it, just click on the sig line below.
Oh yes, one of the changes ... they're INCORPORATING the 1-Step System INTO PAS! This was quite a shock. I've heard from other posts on various forums that the 1-Step System was just a "knock-off" of PAS. Well, apparently not ... for the details, go to:

I am writing this to voice my opinion on all of the direct sales companies out there. I find it appalling that a lot of big leaders in this industry give this industry a bad name by continually jumping from opportunity to opportunity, everyone of them "better, easier, more lucrative, more automated " then the next. These leaders move from one to the other for the simple reason they want to get paid over and over again from the people who they brought into the previous industries. You can make a lot of good money with Liberty League, Coastal, or Emerald Passport. You personally might not find value in these companies but at least they offer products that people can use and see value in. These other fly by night ponzi pyramids such as the auto wealth systems ( I wont mention names) are disgusting. People THERE ARE NO TOTALLY AUTOMATED SALES SYSTEMS!! No one will close sales for you either. You need to take it upon yourself to become a leader and a producer. No one will do it for you! I feel so sorry for those that are weak at sales who follow these leaders like little dogs from company to company hoping that this might be the opportunity that will make them money. The bottom line is this, you can make money at any of these companies, but everyone is blinded by the ease of fast riches and automated b.s.
I have learned a lot in my three years in this industry. I have burned tens of thousands on MLM's and gifing programs. I am now involved with my last business opportunity. I will not go anywhere else because I believe in the industry and I believe in the products we offer. There are highs and lows involved with what I do but I am becoming a leader and have no desire to be a MLM junkie or jumper who rips people off. I am with Emerald Passport now as I believe they are on the right trail. Sure people have had no success there and sure there are people who earn over 100k a month there. I find it to be the right fit for me. They ACTUALLY HAVE A PRODUCT that people can use. Education and information will always sell. I spent over 2000 on a calculus class in college and learned nothing compared to what I have learned with my Passport to Prosperity. Sure you can find some of this information in other places, but then so could I find books on calculus. I love the fact the product is constantly expanding and I love the system that is in place for people to utlize. This though takes effort, consistency, committment, and capital, and is not for everyone. People who are looking for a lottery ticket or a get rich quick scheme can find a lot of those out there.
I do not promise anyone anything here but from what I have seen out there in my few years doing this, Emerald Passport is by far the best company out there. To be credible I believe you need to stick with one opportunity and succeed with it. There are bumps in the road with EPI but I without a doubt am here to stay. I have had some very good months and will continue to have some very good months. If you are looking for a great opportunity then I personally recommend EPI. I cannot guarantee your success but I will do whatever I can to help you succeed. Feel free to contact me with any questions you have. Premier is where it is at and I can help you get to where you want to be ASAP. I wish everyone the best and hope everyone does their due diligence to find the perfect opportunity for them.
