Helping 401k Easy Online customers with their plan customization questions generally takes one hour or less.

-- Setup Consultants work via telephone from their own homes or offices.
All 401(k) Easy Setup Consultants' work is done over the phone (and, to a much lesser extent, via e-mail). You can operate from any location you like so long as when you contact 401k Easy Online customers the conversation can be conducted in a business-like manner (no excessive or inappropriate background noise, cell phone interference, etc.)

-- Setup Consultants set their own hours.
We contact you regarding a 401k Easy Online customer needing help, assign the customer to you, then you contact the customer. Customers sometimes specify a "best time to reach me" but other than that you can contact the customer at whatever time during normal business hours that is most convenient for you within the ensuing 24 hour period.

We can assign a case to you via e-mail, phone, pager or cell phone, whichever best suits your needs. As a 401k Easy Online Consultant, you never have to sit chained to your desk waiting for our calls! We do require, however, that you be easily reachable and that when you contact our customers you do so in a professional, timely manner and from a location that in no way inhibits your providing the service contracted for (excessive or inappropriate background noise, cell phone interference, etc.)

-- Setup Consultants help customers understand their plan customization options.
401k Easy Online customers have a variety of plan customization options for their 401k plan (inclusion or exclusion of loans, matching contributions, automatic enrollment, and more). Setup Consultants explain 401k Easy Online's plan options to customers unsure about which options they want for their company 401k plan. Consultant go over basic pros and cons of the various options, answering customers' questions along the way and act as an information source for (not an advisor to) the customer. Plan customization consultations typically last one hour or less.

-- Setup Consultants help customers get started with their 401k plan administration.
After the a 401k Easy Online customer receives its customized 401k Easy Online 401k plan, online administration software and companion materials, the customer is entitled to free help with using 401k Easy Online to run its 401k plan. Setup Consultants are responsible for helping the client get its 401k plan up and running. Up-and-running help typically involves helping the customer through inputting needed employee information, holding enrollment meetings/enrolling participants, and/or inputting employees' participation designations into the software.

Our online 401k software is very easy to use (try it out for yourself); it comes with its own guided tour as well as a comprehensive yet easy-to-read 401(k) Easy Management Guide. Many 401k Easy Online customers never request any help with getting their plans up and running.

Even if a customer assigned to you never asks you for one minute of getting started help, you still earn the full $300!

-- There's no selling involved.
The goal in Consultants providing 401k information to our customers is to help each customer create the 401k plan best suited to its needs. We have no interest in customers choosing one plan option over another and in no way encourage our Consultants to "push" for specific choices.

-- Setup Consultants earn extra $$$ for helping with plan conversions.
If you have experience in handling 401k plan conversions, especially small plan conversions, let us know. Numerous small businesses are dissatisfied with their current 401k plans and/or plan administration services and are attracted to 401k Easy Online's cost-savings and operation control. Their existing 401k plans must be converted to fit within the 401k Easy Online customizeable IRS-approved prototype 401k plan.

If you're interested in helping convert existing 401k plans for use with 401k Easy Online and are qualified in this regard, please indicate as much on your Application.
