Going Where No Other Company has Gone Before

They said it couldn't be done: a FREE and PROFITABLE internet marketing company that added value to agents, customers, and shareholders. The old paradigm of being able to cater to only two of the three has been broken, changed, and cast aside by the company that is Commission River. Facilitating sales through technology is what the internet is all about, and we at Commission River have successfully tapped in to this power to bring our customers the products with the best price points, to bring our agents more commissions and value than ever before, and to bring hundreds of customers per day to our service providers.

A good business deal is achieved when each party involved in the deal benefits from the relationship. Here at Commission River, we are breaking the rules and creating technologies that benefit all three parties.

Our Humble Beginnings

Commission River Networks, the brain child of Kevin and Laurel Anderson, began in 1992 as a family business in which Laurel and Kevin sold long distance from the privacy of their own home. Mr. Anderson, a seasoned computer scientist, envisioned and explored the idea of online marketing with a focus on long distance products. Laurel, with her degree in Psychology from UC Berkeley and her career history as a Human Resources specialist, added her unique "people friendly" touch to the business. Laurel invented the name "Commission River", a combination of the Greek word Genesis and the Latin word "Cognito".

In 1994, Mr. Anderson invented and pioneered the concept of the "self replicating web page", which allowed him to build massive downline organizations very quickly in a number of telecom MLM (Multi Level Marketing) programs. At the same time, Commission River had an agent force of more traditional non-MLM telecom marketing professionals; so Mr. Anderson developed web sites to support the operations of their agents. Kevin and Laurel built Commission River into a strong, profitable business - providing a good living for a number of their independent agents. They grew a good deal more successful than some of the telecom MLM programs with which they had earlier been active.

In Kevin's own words:

"Until September of 1998, we avoided building our own Telecom MLM company, because, frankly, rates and commissions were just not good enough to develop an MLM program which was fair to all, and which required no money from agents who joined. From 1992 until September of 1998, Commission River employed a commission model which is "traditional" in the telecom industry, focusing on high commissions for direct sales, but reserving little for override commissions. New tariffs have been introduced now, which has changed that; and we set out to build the world's best telecom MLM company."

1999-2001: The Building Phase

After Kevin had successfully developed the world's first fully-functional self-replicating technology and paperless provisioning systems, he sought professional help in building the business infrastructure that could support the weight of increased demand. The first members of Commission River's full-time support staff were hired in 1998, which allowed Commission River to improve order flow, customer support, and overall throughput. 1999 saw the hiring of a professional web architect/designer along and a seasoned network marketing professional. All of Commission River's current web sites were overhauled, while the breadth of products offered was expanded to include a vast array of telecommunications and internet products. The year 2000 saw the successful deployment of Commission River's unique network marketing program which is the first ever based on free online e-commerce. This year Commission River also set out to establish an executive board of directors, truly an all-star team of the top telecom and business executives in the world. The technology arm of Commission River (Commission River Switching Technologies) was acquired to provide 1-plus switched long distance solutions that can be customized to fit the needs of any customer in the world.

Commission River Networks now has the "back office" technology in place to make it easy for its agents and affinity partners to run successful e-business both online and in the real world. Because of the way Commission River leverages internet technology to support it's growth in network marketing and affinity programs, Commission River is positioned to become a billion dollar company with a remarkably small overhead in a very quick amount of time. The pieces of the puzzle are now in place.

Our Future in the Marketplace

There has never been more excitement about Commission River than now, as Commission River has positioned itself as the leading internet and network marketing company in the world. The infrastructure needed to support exponential growth is in place. The demand for Commission River's products is massive, and growing daily. Commission River's agents have inundated the internet search engines and classified ads promoting Commission River's long distance, calling card, internet services, international callback, satellite entertainment, home security, computers/home electronics, and wireless services. Large affinity groups are raising money through the sale of customized telecommunications solutions provided by CST. Commission River's web sites are currently being translated into three languages to support the demand from customers agents overseas. And we're still on the ground floor of building our empire!
