Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. (often referred to as PPL or Pre-Paid Legal) is a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange (PPD) which offers legal service plans to its members across the United States and part of Canada.  In exchange for a monthly fee, members have access to legal consultation as well as various other legal services.  Pre-Paid Legal often claims that any legal situation is covered under their plan, even though many of these fall under what is called Title 5 in their plan allowing members to use their state’s appointed provider law firm at a minimum of a 25% discount off normal hourly rates.

In 2003, Pre-Paid Legal Services joined forces with Kroll Background America to provide and identity theft service known as the Identity Theft Shield.  The identity theft product is serviced through Kroll Background America and Pre-Paid Legal holds what is essentially a private label the service.

Originally starting out as a direct sales model, Pre-Paid Legal adapted to a network marketing or mlm model and associates can pay a fee to start their own distributorship.  There are many nation-wide company sponsored trainings and meetings for new and existing associates to tap into. 

One of the issues with Pre-Paid Legal (as with many network marketing companies) is their teaching of “belly-to-belly” or in person sales and they are known to be very restrictive on other marketing practices – especially those used on the internet.

Further, Pre-Paid Legal does what we believe to be a poor job of providing associates with effective online marketing tools and essentially leave associates dependent on “old school” marketing practices common before the internet became a viable marketing tool.

However, there are many plans to market and Pre-Paid Legal boasts that “business in today, gets paid on tomorrow” or other-wise known as getting paid daily as opposed to having to wait until the end of the month or longer for commissions earned.

There is another whole opportunity available within Pre-Paid Legal by marketing their legal plans as a group benefit to companies.  While the reward of landing a big account is often seductive to new associates, this particular form of marketing the plan to businesses as a benefit often requires a greater sales skill level than utilizing the typical network marketing model.

If you choose to become involved with Pre-Paid Legal Services, expect to be busy talking to a lot of people and don’t expect the company to make marketing efforts on the internet to be easy – as many typical practices by normal affiliate marketers may go against the terms outlined in the Associate Agreement you sign as a distributor or Independent Associate of Pre-Paid Legal Services.
