It doesn't look tough, because it's skinny. But it's a game changer in the pay-TV industry. DISH is the first to embark on an adventure of offering a new skinny TV bundle without requiring an Internet connection.

That's right. Consumers can now choose a smaller selection of TV channels they actually watch for a better price with DISH's new Flex Pack - and they don't need to stream anything from the Internet!

It was announced on August 4, 2016, and it's sending ripples all throughout the more "muscular" pay-TV packages that have dominated the industry for decades. The whole purpose is to give consumers an opportunity to not pay for what they don't watch. It's that simple.

We've all heard of home security. It usually means to install some sort of system to keep strangers from getting into our homes and stealing our stuff. No one wants to have their brand new 65-inch TV ripped off the wall or lose their prized collection of antiques. And that makes perfect sense. But what's the next step beyond home security and how can it enhance our lives?

Most people have heard about home automation and they may even have some level of automated system installed in their home. It's a rapidly growing market and it's important to educate everyone about what a quality home automation system can provide.

We'll highlight some of the most advanced features and benefits of home security and automation in this article and how you can make it a part of your home and even how to make it a business opportunity - if that's what you decide.

The entrepreneurial spirit is still alive and well in the world today. Existing marketers and salesmen want to know how to expand their portfolios. Many moms and dads are looking to stay at home or reduce the number of hours and jobs they work by finding ways to earn extra income. And college graduates aspire to start their own businesses without a boatload of upfront costs.

The questions remain: Where do you start? And how can you get your foot in the door to an excellent sales opportunity?

Well, we feel like we have some excellent answers to these questions.

RS&I has partnered up with five different companies that include sales-only solutions. That means when you team up with one or all of the five programs, you’ll find low start up costs with established brands and plenty of marketing, sales and training support. No equipment or installation costs are required. All you have to do is complete the sale and earn the extra income you need.

As a quick side note, each of these five programs do require an approval from RS&I and each of the respective companies to begin selling. You'll need to meet certain requirements. The good news is, our sales team will be able to walk you through the approval process for each program, which we've already done for thousands of authorized retailers.
