Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Certified Credit Consultant™

The title:  Certified Credit Consultant™ was  originally thought up and trade marked by our Founder, Valeri A. James in 2002.  It was developed so that only those people who showied a passion in helping others and who attended our training could use this trade marked name.  Today, Simple Solutions has trained hundreds of entrepreneurs that wanted to own their own credit and debt consulting business so that they can help consumers learn more about credit, their consumer rights and the laws concerning credit and collections, how to improve their credit, how to raise their credit scores, how not to be a victim of identity theft, what to do if they are a victim of identity theft, how to stop harassing collection calls, how establish or add positive credit to their credit reports, how to get out of ChexSystems or TeleCheck, how to negotiate their debt for 50% or less, and much more. Also as a consultant, you can provide educational information and materials through eBooks, Seminars, Workshops, Professional Speaking engagements, and so much more. Most consultants make over $150 per hour doing consulting, to well over $1,000 per hour doing credit repair and $1,000 to $5,000+ per hour or more doing debt settlement work. Of course we do not tell our clients what we are making per hour, but we quote a ‘flat fee’ so they do not know what we are making per hour. Since the majority of other consultants and companies just provide credit repair only, we want you to rise way above them and receive our complete training system so you will learn ALL there is to know and understand so you can provide a full service, credit and debt consulting business.

Do I have to have any experience?

No, you do not need any experience or a degree. All of us at Simple Solutions would like to train people who are honest and have the desire to help other people, which coincides what our mission statement is all about… paying it forward by helping people to have a better life and save money by having better credit. It would be very helpful if you do have a positive attitude, like talking to others, want to own your own business, want to work your own hours/days, and have more time to spend with your family and friends. Work smarter, not harder is what we believe in. Also, we hope but not require that you have some basic computer skills, some organizational skills and doing a little paperwork (unless you hire a secretary or data processor to do it for you). With honesty and the right attitude, you can learn the information and skills needed to achieve ultimate success by attending our training.

What kind of income can I expect?

Consultants just out of training are earning over $100-$500+/per hour or more are making $2,000 to $5,000 or more per week. To get a better picture of how much money you can make, here is an example: if you charge an individual client $750, a couple $1250, and have 2 individual clients per week and 2 couples per week, your total weekly income is: $4,000. Pretty good income for just working 2 days a week! Or work more days, have more clients it is up to you. Of course with any career, your income will be in direct proportion to the amount of effort you put into your work. Realistic potential income can be over $60k to well over $100k per year working approximately 20 plus hours a week. *Our attorney says we have to put a disclaimer in here of course… that the money you make is directly connected to how much you work or how many clients you obtain. Obviously the more you work, the more money you make… or hire people to help you. Don’t forget about providing debt settlement services… you literally can make an extra $1k to over $5k per month just doing debt settlement work for your clients.

What are the benefits to having my own business?

You will have the joy of setting your own hours, make your own appointments,work from home or an office, take vacations or time off to see your child’s play at school or be with them when they are sick, work part time or full time, it is all up to YOU as you are the boss now! Imagine… No time clock to punch, no commuting in heavy traffic, no more nasty boss to deal with, you will have more time to spend with your family, friends and more time to go on vacations or just extra long lunches with your significant other or catch up with friends. You can work part time or full time it is all up to you as you have the ultimate flexibility of setting your own schedule.

Do I have to learn how to sell?
No. Credit restoration and debt settlement services pretty much sells itself. Either by referral sources or individuals consistently look for someone/company to help them that is knowledgeable and has the factual answers to help them improve their credit, save them money and get out of debt. These clients have questions and are looking for answers, plus want to rely on someone or a company that has the expertise and training to clean up their credit, save money and to help guide them through their financial problems. You will give them HOPE and eliminate their stress! The majority of consumers do not know their consumer rights and the laws that can help protect them. This is where you can really help them as a professionally trained Certified Credit Consultant™. Our experience is that usually 9 out of 10 people sign up for credit repair, especially when they find out that they only have 2 options – they can either wait 7-15 years for negative inaccurate or unverifiable information to fall off their credit reports OR they can exercise their consumer rights and do credit repair to clean up their credit. The choice is that simple! Since the statistics say that 79% of the population has inaccurate or unverifiable information on their credit reports, so this means 79 people out of 100 need your help. That is a lot of people that are willing to pay you $750 to $1250 (or more) for credit restoration and over $1000 to $5000+ for debt settlement help!

Investment

What is the fee to become a Certified Credit Consultant™?

We have several training options so there are several different fees.  First we wanted to explain something that may help you to understand more about what you will save by choosing any of our training options.  Most franchises cost $25,000 and more as you can see or research online.  An owner of FranCorp, Inc. told us a few years ago, “After seeing all of what you provide consultants, my recommendation is if you don’t charge $25,000.00 for it you’re crazy!” After meeting with this gentleman and a lot of discussion, our Board of Directors at Simple Solutions determined that we wanted to make our training very affordable so that anyone would be able to own their own business.  So we came up with several training options to fit every budget.  Do keep in mind that you can always upgrade up to the next option at any time by paying just the difference.  Here are all of our training options:

  • Option #1  Self Study Course – Complete Credit Repair Training System™ (6 set) PLUS Coaching for $2,400.  Pymt options starting at $400/down.

Valeri, It was a blessing that we met you 6 years ago! Since going through your training we have been able to build a business that not only supports us but has provided a valuable service to our clients. We are able to educate consumers with confidence due to the comprehensive material we received in training. We have both been in the business world for over 30 years and have never seen such a complete business in a box. We were able to start helping clients literally the day after we were certified. Thank you so much for your continued support!
