Bob Wood serves as President and co-founder of CloudZow, a technology MLM specializing in computer backup solutions, launched in early 2012 from Texas.
Wood's company biography details twenty-five years as an Information Technology Consultant, Systems Analyst, Systems Programmer, Application Developer, System Tools Developer, and Systems Architect across corporate and commercial software development environments. His background includes extensive online e-commerce ventures. CloudZow marks Wood's first executive role within an MLM company, having previously focused on consulting.
CloudZow offers a subscription-based cloud backup service. Users store their PC data online, a method commonly referred to as "in the cloud." This allows access to backed-up data from any location with an internet connection.
The company advertises "unlimited" storage space for cloud backup services. Prices begin at $5 per month for one computer, $15 per month for three computers, and $25 per month for five or more computers. The CloudZow product page lists all prices as "starting at," but provides no further information on what services or features correspond to higher price points. Potential customers must contact a "referring affiliate" to learn more.
CloudZow's compensation plan pays affiliates retail commissions and team-based commissions. This structure uses a unilevel model tied to an affiliate's membership rank.
Affiliates earn a 10-30% commission on retail sales of the backup service. CloudZow states the exact retail commission depends on an affiliate's "pay title" or membership rank. However, the company does not disclose the specific percentage earned at each rank level.
The CloudZow compensation plan includes four membership ranks. These ranks and their known qualifications are: Affiliate, the basic company membership; Manager, requiring recruitment of two new affiliates and $240 in group sales volume; Director, needing four Manager-ranked affiliates in four separate unilevel legs and $1,200 in group sales volume. The top rank, Executive, requires four Director-ranked affiliates in four separate unilevel legs. The company's provided information does not specify further qualifications for the Executive rank.
