610 - Does your company have a strong mission?

The Network Marketing Industry is worth $190 Billion.

The industry has gotten a lot of negative reviews over the years, sometimes rightly so.

It's hard to ignore a company that has stood the test of time, provides quality services and is growing.

I attended the 50th Anniversary Convention of PPLSI (PrePaid Legal Services Inc.) in April, in Oklahoma City.

PPLSI, also known as LegalShield, has stood the test of time and is thriving.

We continue to build and improve on services that have benefitted millions of Americans and Canadians, that otherwise would not have access to the legal system.

PPLSI is also known as LegalShield. We excel in 2 areas where the competition is sparse, legal services and identity theft protection.

Many network marketing companies' products cost more than comparable products on store shelves. They entice you to recruit 3-4 people so you can get discounts or free products, or some variation thereof.

LegalShield is the most cost-effective service I have seen in the industry, giving our customers quality services at significantly discounted rates from the moment they join.

The founder, Harland Stonecipher, saw the need for everyone to have access to the legal system. He was frivolously sued after being hit head-on in a car accident.

He won that lawsuit but almost went bankrupt due to the legal fees he incurred to defend himself.

That's when he realized, all Americans need legal protection, not only those who can afford it.

We are constantly working to improve in all areas.

PPLSI holds its provider law firms to high standards with quality checks in 15 areas, from customer service to delivery of services.

The law firms are responsive and held accountable for their work.

When a customer calls their law firm, they receive a call back within 4 hours. Customers are not left wondering when or if an attorney will call them back

We have eliminated the 3 major reasons people don't call attorneys:

• They are too expensive, at anywhere from $200 -$1000 per hour (and more)

• They don't respond. There is no guarantee when an attorney will call back.

• There is no accountability. There is usually nowhere to turn when an attorney isn't doing their job.

I am proud to work with a company that has such high standards for its employees, associates, and customers.

The company has now celebrated 50 years in business and I have been with it for 14 years and I'll be here for a long time to come.

It doesn't matter what business model a company chooses if it provides quality services/products.

I found a company whose mission I can get behind, to protect and empower people.
