Sevarus Review
Sevarus Review
Sevarus is a new MLM which provides a service called SafetyNet, which allows people, vehicles and pets to be tracked via GPS. According to the Sevarus website, the founders of the company developed the software that was used to track hurricane relief trucks in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The SafetyNet service allows subscribers to receive updates via text message or cell phone, and includes the ability to track the speed and location of vehicles, as well as mileage. . The “opportunity video” on the Sevarus website mentions a couple of different types of tracking devices, one of which is a bracelet for young children or elderly family members with dementia.
Pros:
The ability to track the speed, location and mileage of a vehicle could be useful for a small business that has drivers in the field.
A bracelet tracking device could be a good option to ensure the safety of an elderly family member who may wander off and become confused.
Cons:
The Sevarus marketing pitch places a lot of emphasis on SafetyNet’s ability to allow parents to track the movements of their children. However, you can already do this with a cell phone for a small fee per month. It seems to me that it would be a lot less hassle to track someone’s cell phone, which they already carry with them, than to require them to also carry a GPS locator device. This might make people reluctant to pay for the SafetyNet service.
Most children, even fairly young ones, have cell phones now. If they are too young to have a cell phone, why would they need the service anyway, since they would presumably be with a parent or caregiver? I suppose it might make some parents feel their child is safer with a tracking bracelet.
Cost:
The monthly cost for Safety Net service is $19.95 for 2 devices and $39.95 for up to 7 devices. There is also a Commercial Plan available for $ 99.95 per month plus $9.95 per employee/vehicle per month. Nowhere on the Sevarus website does it say how much the GPS devices cost, or whether they are included in the cost of the SafetyNet service
There appears to be no official document posted anywhere on the Internet explaining the Sevarus comp plan. The only thing I could find was a video that really doesn’t go into the nuts and bolts of the plan. According to the video, the foundation of the Sevarus compensation plan is “refer three and it is free.” Any customer who refers three people to Sevarus who purchase family plans receives monthly service for free for life. Sevarus reps also receive commission on personal sales and that of their downline.
Conclusion:
Sevarus is brand new and there isn’t a ton of
information available on it yet, but it appears to be a legitimate company with
an actual product. However, its success will definitely hinge on how good SafetyNet actually is, and whether people will be convinced to pay for
it when they may already have the ability to track their children and workers
via cell phone, or their vehicles via built-in GPS devices. Experienced MLM
reps would probably have some success with Sevarus, but it would depend on their ability to convince people that they need this service.
