I would appreciate you passing my name, phone number & email address to anyone that is looking for a business opportunity on either a part time or full time basis. Like we talked about on Friday, there is really no criteria for this business other than someone that is self-motivated, positive, money motivated & interested in building a large business... It is a unique spin on network marketing since there are no products to sell, touch, or buy. This involves electricity and gas for residential & commercial properties resulting in a recession proof business. Utility bills typically are paid 98% of time no matter what the financial sitation is. My website is www.electraenergy. igniteinc. biz. You will
find more information on my website.
Once again thank you for all your help!
Kind regards,
