im seriously interested in becoming a distributor for utility warehouse as im looking for something with relatively small start up costs that i can get stuck into and build a ‘business’ for my future. i understand it will take effort and time which im willing to put in. i just wanted to know a bit more from someone who has already signed up about what happens after you do sign up? whether they are helpfull? whether it is actually a realistic opportunity? what the most common ways are they teach you to sell the product etc? i just want an honest opinion on the model and any success or horror stories really!?
Hi
Yes, I am a very happy distributor with Utility Warehouse.
I have been with them for over ten years and joining was, in my opinion, the best thing that I have ever done. The Company has changed a lot over those ten years and one of the major changes addresses your question about support.
You will be part of a team – so you get team support.
There is an Executive Services team who give support from Head Office and there is a comprehensive training schedule, so you get training support too. Add to that local and regional events and you have quite a support network. Probably they key support is your sponsor. So do check them out.
Is it a realistic opportunity? That depends on you. It is work and you have to do the training to be successful. As in any walk of life some people are successful and some fail. Some people are unwilling to do the work.
The common ways to sell the product? All covered in the training. Simply put, you talk to people. Whether that is via your website, personal networking, leaflets, outside shows, referrals or whatever. Generally speaking not cold calling though.
I do hope that answers your question.
Any other specific queries I will be happy to answer

I just got done messing w/a SECOND Seagate ATA hard drive. The damned thing won’t format?!?! I don’t get it. Are they just clearing out their warehouses of defective Caca? I’ve had to manually partition & format (attempted) both drives. Seagate’s down-loadable utilities has failed both drives, too (Generic short & long tests). Tech support is worthless. Any ideas before I return another one….

Oh yeah, this is an established system I built several years ago. Master is a WD. All jumpers are set right, plus cables, & drivers.

Windows XP won’t format, no way, no how. Seagate utilities only says "Failed." Doesn’t say porque. Seagate DOS.iso download wouldn’t work (load @reboot). It’s sitting there, recognized by XP, just useless (other than aggravation).
Does your motherboard come with utilities? Try writing "zero" (Low Level Format) to the drive then format in WinXP.
Hi.
I am 14 and I want a card so that I can put money on it, and use chip and pin and buy things online with paypal.
I allready have a card and there is a probolem with it, It works perfecly and it is great but It will not let me use paypal as I have to have a bank code or something like that but it does not have one on the card. It is a Utility Warehouse cash back card.
Does anyone know how I can find my card bank code or a new card that has one on?
Thanks. 
Get a prepaid debit/credit card like. Cashplus
I am making a pay-pal account and It has asked me for a sort code, I have looked for it on my card and It is not there. Or anywhere else on the card where can I find it?
It is a cash back card from utility warehouse – www.uwdc.co.uk
You may not be able to use that kind of card with a pay pal account.
We lost our internet connection on 24 February 2010. Wednesday night everything was fine and dandy. Thursday we were cut off from the World Wide Web.
We contacted our ISP, (Utility Warehouse), but they couldn’t sort it. Over a week later they claimed the problem was with BT. They still own and manage the lines as we all know.
This is the explanation as I understood it:
British Telecom, who the problem was escalated to, reported that our radius file, (whatever that is), had problems.
Our user names and log ins for broadband were not being recognised by BT’s database.
So they have had to clear the data and put it back on again.
We are now up and running again, but it took till yesterday morning (8 March 2010), to solve – nearly 2 weeks!
In the meantime our business, which is largely reliant on the internet for emails and orders, suffered. Unfortunately all our actual losses could not be quantified, but we are going to claim back our broadband fees for the period we were down. We are also going to claim some sort of compensation for the frustration – whether we get it is another matter.
We were being encouraged to go get a dongle and use mobile broadband but I checked it out for our area and was advised that it would probably be ineffective. It would be worse than dial-up because of the extremely weak signal.
We were also advised to go to a Wifi zone like McDonalds, or go around a friend’s house – this is how BT and UWC see us running a serious business.
We have had problems with BT on several occasions and they are probably the worst people to deal with – they are a crap organisation – if any organisation should be state owned, (i.e. nationalised), British Telecom should.
Anyone else had problems recently?
We are on the North Wales Coast,
Looked at wireless broadband with several networks but the signal is poor so unreliable, (not what you want if you do a lot of internet banking).
We moved away from BT because of the problems of contacting them when you have a problem. We had enough of waiting for ever on hold. At least with UWC we get straight through and having someone else to deal with your problem saves a lot of anger and frustration particularly with the likes of BT.
We are very behind in our location and are awaiting all of the improvements that the cities take for granted.
I just cannot see why the problem took so long to sort out, (nearly 2 weeks).
I had the same problem twice on a Bt connection the first time I was lucky to get a team in the UK it still took him over 2 hours to work out what the problem was. The second time I got arsey and would not do any of the unneeded tests and kept insisting that they send it up to the next leval and it was back on within half an hour,
The problem you are having is with BT not the UWClub as a am assuming you are not on their broadcall service. If you are on a rural exchange BT is mostly the only option
This is not a new problem but one that has been around for years, my thoughts is BT have a bug in their ras server software that has never been fixed
An option is to goto http://www.samknows.com/broadband/search.php find out your exchange and see if anyone has an LLU service on that exchange then BT will only have the line to the exchange to screw up
I have a warehouse that I rent for business purposes. I am going through the eviction process and my landlord has turned off the main breaker to my unit. The electricity is in my name and I am current with the utilities provider.
Can my landlord legally do this? What recourse do I have against him for such action.
Thank you for your input!
You could have a major lawsuit against your landlord. It is unlawful for him to interfere with you or your regular business activities without a court order allowing him to do such acts.
The major question is, how bad were you and your business damaged by his unlawful act. You definitely need to talk to an attorney.
You won’t be be able to make a living out of it unless you cater to the manufacturing industry.
Yet another question on Outlook 2007!
I’ll be asking a lot of these sort of questions for the next week or so until my Outlook for Dummies book arrives from Amazon!
I have a web based email account. The provider is Utility Warehouse Club.
I have around 50 contacts set up in that account.
I am in the midst of moving everything over to Outlook 2007.
Can anyone tell me simply how I go about moving my contacts list over to Outlook 2007.
If you can offer a step by step procedure, I would really appreciate that.
If worse comes to worst, I’ll have to re-enter them manually, but I thought I would give the automatic route a try first.
I have made a back up of all the details in the UWC contacts list to an Excel file, so at least I won’t lose everything.
Outlook does POP3, MAPI and Exchange email, it doesn’t do webmail (no email program does – webmail is browser-based). Unless Utility Warehouse Club has POP3/SMTP or MAPI email access, you won’t be able to use Outlook on it. (If you can use it, go to Help in Outlook, type in import contacts, and you’ll see an item on importing contacts from Excel.)
I have a main email address that is web based and is with Utility Warehouse.
I also have an old BT Yahoo! email address that I don’t use much anymore but is still live so I have to go in there to clear it out occasionally. It also gives me access to Answers so it is quite invaluable!
I have just bought a new computer and have got Microsoft Office 2007 installed with Outlook 2007.
I have heard that it is possible to use Outlook as your email tool to view and answer web based email accounts such as the ones that I have described.
Can anyone explain how this is done to me in simplified way, (I don’t really understand too much jargon!).
just add or create another account, as long as you know the servers ie POP3 & SMPT plus passwords your ok. Outlook will pull them all at the same time, most servers are mail.server.com ie mail.yahoo.com for both incoming and outgoing?
Plano is a suburb of Dallas….and the pastor of this church was formerly the head of the Southern Baptist Convention. This churches "compound" has a school, a store, and a restaurant.
My questions are these:
How do you feel about churches using the money given to God in way of a tithe to be used toward such extreme expenses?
Considering the Dallas schools have a drop out rate of over 50%…do you think it may be better use of God’s money/people, if instead of closing themselves off in their compound in the suburbs…if they sent their good teachers to the Dallas school district? Maybe lived and built their church in the area with the neediest?
Do you think God would build a multi-million dollar facility to preach from? Or, do you think he would preach from a donated warehouse…and give the collected money to the poor, orphans, widows and truly needy?
What is God’s work? Helping the less fortunate, or building a compound in the white suburbs?
Your thoughts?
The Bible tells us that you can’t serve God and money, that one of the two will be your master. [But of course, this is overlooked and acceptable as long as you are using the Bible to harm gay people.]
