Inside ShopToEarn’s customer support department, ShopToEarn Support Center grows into a customer service powerhouse servicing 90,000 Shop To Earn representatives from new 3,000 sq ft office in Baltimore, MD.

Baltimore, MD - Friday, October 23, 2009 - History proves every recession produces great ideas. In 1939, at the height of the Great Depression, Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard launched Hewlett-Packard in a garage in Palo Alto. One of HP’s first customers was Disney - another Depression era startup.

In 2008, Erin Welsh, Shop To Earn’s Director of Operations, went to work with her brother Pat Welsh in his new eco-friendly direct sales company, ShopToEarn. Erin set up the STE customer support shop out of her home office basement. With the network marketing company growing exponentially, it was an exciting time for Shop To Earn and Erin recalls the challenge to serve the growing needs of representatives across the country especially multi-lingual customers.

Today, Erin and her team, including cousin ShopToEarn Director of Customer Support Heather McDade, welcome the motivation of being the support center for a multi-million dollar company in stride. The support center now resides in a spacious 3,000 square foot office in the historic Canton area of Baltimore. Fourteen highly trained Shop To Earn support center agents work with STE representatives to resolve shopping discrepancies, compliance, renewals, refunds, and commissions; by phone, email and the support ticket system.

ShopToEarn’s Customer Service Core Objectives:

1. Educate with Accuracy

2. Create Self Sufficient reps

3. Positivity

4. Fairness

5. Patience

6. Timeliness

“We have a great staff, behind the scenes, with systems in place designed to meet the needs of Shop To Earn representatives,” says Erin Welsh. “ShopToEarn is experiencing explosive growth and we are very excited about all of the new improvements to our website.”

Shop To Earn’s rapid growth - achieving retail sales of $30 million and paying out $1.5 million in cash back incentives - includes an expansion into the Latino market. Before, Erin reached out to a group of bi-lingual STE representatives who acted as the in-house interpreters. Now, she has several bilingual ShopToEarn staff members who communicate in multiple languages including Spanish, German, Russian, French and Korean.

The culture of service extends beyond the support request ticket. Committed to the green revolution, the Customer Support Team makes a conscious effort to recycle, drinks Aquasana filtered water, and has their ShopToEarth orders frequently shipped to the center so they can familiarize themselves with the earth friendly products sold on the site. A fellow employee treats staff to Yoga sessions two-three times per week and they even have a pet fish named Eartha.

The ShopToEarn customer service staff recently completed projects designed to save Shop To Earn representatives time and minimize miscommunications. Together they collaborated on a 70-page FAQ list of important and frequent questions and answers. The Compensation Rules have been revised to make them easier to understand and they’ve created the ‘See How It Works’ slide show, available online, that demonstrates the ShopToEarn program to potential representatives. In addition, the Baltimore Support Team recently took over the Shopping Discrepancy Department and made changes to the research process as well as implementing internal systems to streamline the process. In doing so, the ShopToEarn retail affiliate shopping is posted more quickly and spread out throughout the month. The team is also responsible for the hundreds of ShopToEarn Shopping Promotions that are updated bi-weekly for additional savings. The Shopping Promotions can be accessed directly from the STE homepage.

Their efforts have not gone unnoticed. Shop to Earn representatives regularly express gratitude for the team’s dedication and hard work. “We appreciate that support very much!” emails Marcia, STE Representative.

“Hello STE Customer Support: THANK YOU!! Your department does a GREAT job of responding and resolving problems,” from Camille, STE Representative.

“Customer Support is the liaison between Shop To Earn representatives and the Executive Team,” says Erin. “One thing you can count on, when you contact Customer Support, you are always heard. We strive to respond to all inquiries within 48 hours.”

Direct Sales Industry Proves to Be a Home Run in Today’s Economy

Fort Lauderdale, FL – June 5, 2009 – – It’s the major leagues for direct sales company ShopToEarn/ShopToEarth (Twitter @shoptoearn or @shoptoearth) with the news of Jeff Conine joining the business network. The Florida Marlin’s All Star recently signed as a ShopToEarn broker for green reasons including health, wealth and social responsibility.

“Besides the organic and eco benefits of ShopToEarth, what appealed most to my family and I was the fact that we did not have to sell a certain product like a juice or cleaning product,” said Conine. “This is a business that involves saving money while shopping for the things we already buy at our favorite stores. It also is an opportunity to bring my family and friends into an incredible business opportunity.”

Conine says he is not a “mall type of person” and is attracted to the fact that his family can shop at all the retailers they normally buy from. The only difference now is shopping online, which provides allows them get cash back and saving money. Whether it is books for his kids from Borders, Sun Warrior protein shakes for himself or the skin care line his wife has been buying for years from their dermatologist, they are now buying these products at a fraction of the cost via retailers on the ShopToEarth network.

How did Conine get introduced to the business? He was in the right place at the right time. His decorator led him to ShopToEarn while he was looking for a possible direct sales company to partner with and was considering Monavie. After Conine met with ShopToEarn’s Rich Soviero for a ShopToEarn/ShopToEarth business overvew, Conine said, “It was a no-brainer decision.”

“Every time I think to myself that I not only got to meet Jeff Conine and his wife Cindy, but that I went to their home and helped introduce them to this amazing business, I’m blown away,” said Soviero. “I was smiling from ear to ear while in their home and my wife was home dying because she has been a huge Conine fan for years. The Conine’s excitement with Shop To Earn has excited me even more. If you think about it, there are not many businesses out there that you can be involved with a major league player like Jeff Conine. He is an All Star on and off the field and we are proud to have him in our business.”
The ShopToEarn/ShopToEarth news crew went on location to film video testimonials for the Shop To Earn/Shop To Earth network at Conine’s home in Weston, Florida. Five videos were produced detailing ‘Mr. Marlin’s’ personal and business experiences with ShopToEarn.

The clips were filmed in Conine’s personal memorabilia room and will be used as part of Shop To Earn’s social media PR strategy. The videos will be released on Shop To Earn’s Facebook, YouTube and Twitter channels.

Conine calls Shop To Earn his “third career” after winning two World Series with the Marlins as a player and now serving as a Special Assistant to the Marlins’ President in the team’s front office.

Gary King Shares Message on The Power of Truth and Trust

Las Vegas, NV – March 13, 2009 – It’s the oldest message ever told: authenticity, ethics, and character make the world go around – or so it should.

“What’s going on in America today reflects on the lack of these traits,” said ShopToEarth’s newest Advisory Board member, Gary King. “Our society just doesn’t create these traits anymore.”

ShopToEarth, a hybrid MLM online shopping portal specializing in eco-friendly retailers, announces the addition of internationally renowned truth and inspirational speaker Gary King to its Advisory Board.  ShopToEarth’s Advisory Board will consist of five to six directors who will help advise the company’s team of brokers and business builders on how to make a difference in business by embracing the power of truth.

“We quickly realized the synergy of adding Gary King to our Advisory Board and look forward to using his truth-be-told leadership for ShopToEarn and ShopToEarth,” said Pat Welsh, ShopToEarn’s Founder. “King’s ideals will help to reinforce and solidify the main goal behind our company – to help our associates live a lifestyle of better health and increased wealth.”

King has spent years researching and speaking on the power of truth and integrity. His past experience is in event production and serving on the staff of Anthony Robbins Companies. He joined the ShopToEarth team as a means of building a network of business leaders who will instill the power of truth.

“My purpose on the executive Advisory Board is to provide direction and guidance on the power of truth – a message that today’s society severely lacks,” said King. “On the other hand, trust, character, and ethics are the traits that created ShopToEarth. This distinction will continue to add to the company’s success.”

About Gary King
Gary King is an outstanding role model who spreads the light of honesty, integrity, forgiveness, peace and health.  During the last seven years, King has authored several CDs and has articles in O Magazine, Oprah’s Guide to Life, and has traveled the world speaking about truth and integrity.  Through his own personal struggles, King has persevered as an inspiration to many.

Hybrid Multi-Level Marketing, Shop To Earn Shakes Up Internet Retailing

Las Vegas, Nevada - January 7, 2009 – What do you get when you cross affiliate marketing with a hybrid multi-level marketing business model and social consciousness? ShopToEarn and ShopToEarth (http://www.shoptoearn.net).

Shop To Earn is turning e-commerce on its head with a platform on which well-known retailers – including just-inked deals with Victoria’s Secret and Expedia – discount up to 30 percent of the sales with shoppers and the people they refer. It’s a concept that has attracted 80,000 members and put Shop To Earn on target for $120 million in revenues annually in just two years.

“Our members aren’t pushing somebody’s powder, potion or pills,” said Dan Swiniarski, President of ShopToEarn. “There’s nothing sexy about getting paid to shop and getting paid to refer others to shop, but it’s a very simple way to save time, save money, save travel, and save gas – and receive cash back on your network’s purchases from hundreds of the biggest names in e-commerce retail.”

There are three levels of membership: Web Site Owner, Business Builder, and Broker. As a Web site Owner, Shop To Earn members control their own shoptoearn.net/user domain and receive cash back on every purchase from their Web site. As a Business Builder, members can earn commissions on their own shopping list and receive a $100 training bonus for every new Web Site Owner they refer. After the Business Builder refers three Web Site Owners and generates $100 in monthly business volume through his/her website’s link to Shop To Earth, the Business Builder begins receiving commissions on everyone in his/her network. Brokers, meanwhile, are both Web Site Owners and Business Builders. Once a Broker has referred three Web Site Owners, his/her website is free, and Brokers also earn the same commissions as Business Builders. Shop To Earn pays 100 percent of the retailer’s commission to the member.

“Shop To Earn’s multi-level marketing business model is fairly simple in comparison to other network marketing companies,” said Swiniarski. “Our members get paid to shop and refer; the more they shop and the more they refer, the more they earn.”

While members are shopping at online stores like Target, Best Buy, the Gap, and other leading brands, Shop To Earth gives shoppers access to natural, organic, and earth-friendly brands like Avalon, Kiss My Face and Nature’s Gate through member portals. The company generates revenue through margins on Shop To Earth products.

Shop To Earn’s goal is to become the largest shopping portal in the world. In the wake of a recession that is spurring more people to look for value-added products and services, as well as new income streams, the company is making great strides with new members springing up in New York, Chicago and San Francisco. In fact, ex-real estate agents, brokers, construction executives, and financial industry professionals are turning to Shop To Earn to save money on goods and to earn extra cash.

“E-commerce and the environment are at the forefront of the global economy. ShopToEarn and ShopToEarth are positioned strategically at the forefront of this revolution,” Swiniarski said. “With ShopToEarn we have the ability to make a difference and do the right thing for the environment, while also helping put cash back into the pockets of hard working people.”

Online Shopping Portal Business Reports Record Growth in Suffering Economy

Las Vegas, NV – November 13, 2008 – Who says online forums can’t be born overnight? Within the first 48 hours of www.officialshoptoearn.blogspot.com going live, more than 2,500 visitors and 50 comments were posted on the Shop To Earn company blog, an online forum designed to report the official ShopToEarn (Shop To Earn or STE) news and views.

As businesses across the country continue to suffer the effects of an economic crisis, an election hangover, and a retail slump going into holiday shopping season, Shop to Earn continues to rise above the fray and achieve record-breaking numbers. Online shopping business Shop To Earn continues to take the e-commerce world by storm, and its members are reaping the financial benefits in the form of cash back discounts.

Shop To Earn company officials call STE a smart business model designed for entrepreneurial and Internet savvy professionals looking to be a part of new scaling economies with significant financial rewards.

“We knew launching an official blog would be helpful to members, but we had no idea it would be this successful in the first week,” said Pat Welsh, founder of Shop To Earn. “There was a pent up demand for members to interact with the online world and start conversations about the successful stories they can share.”

The Shop To Earn business model integrates the incredible power of the Internet and shines a bright light on old multi-level-marketing business plans, giving members complete control of their earning potential. With the launch of the official Shop To Earn blog, members have a community to discuss growing their business and a forum to network with one another. The blog also serves as a hub for official company information distribution.

“This blog is our official voice online. With certain sources spreading misinformation on the web, we wanted to make sure the real facts were available,” said Shop To Earn CEO, Dan Swiniarski. “Writers on blogs like fraudfiles base their information on inaccurate facts that are one-sided. We wanted to give our members a chance to speak for themselves.”

Here are some recent comments from current members, taken directly from the Shop To Earn official blog:

“This opportunity has offered thousands of people the ability to better their lives not only via a new income stream, but it has introduced the earth-friendly products that most had never experienced before. Thanks again!!!!”

“Finally, a forum for some common sense and information. Some people just don’t want to come to grips with new ideas. The negative stuff out there is so ridiculous and silly. STE has made me over $50,000 in 5 months and more than $125,000 for my collective down-line. This is fun and fulfilling work!“
