The unfortunate thing is the NNA still advertises the low-ball "suggested" rates.
So many newbies accept it as gospel, and are happy to work for it on a part time basis (ie have another full time job), they don't understand what they could be making.
The newbies thinking... hey at $50-70 per signing I'm making $50-70 an hour (even $25-$35 an hour if it takes them 2 hours). My regular job doesn't pay that, I'll take it! Beats any other second job I might find!
To be honest it's hard to argue with that logic for someone who only does this on a pert time "extra spending money" job basis.
Rather than complain about it over and over on this board... what you need to do is differentiate ourselve(s), and sell that benefit. It works for some buyers, not for others. This is how both Walmart and Nordstroms both stay in business. Walmart is more than happy doing business on the profit level they operate on. If you want to be a Nordstroms, then you need to find that clientele. I'm willing to bet that no one on the Nordstroms BOD complains about the business lost to Walmart. What they may do is work on how to attract those customers to their store too, and understand that at no price acceptable to themselves will they attract others.
