Frequently Asked Questions

There are both "philosophical" and "practical" components to our being "Vet-focused."  On the philosophical side:  we value concepts like teamwork, initiative, and accountability.  If an advisor in Oregon is having great success within a certain industry, we try to expose other agents to this "best practice."  We don't hoard knowledge, we diffuse it.

On the practical side of things:  

1. We don't "ramp" up our commission payouts with our advisors as they bring in new business like most TSD's.  There is nothing wrong with the practice of a tiered commission structure, but we have chosen to "pass through" 89% of the commissions to our advisors from the very beginning, as we know how difficult it can be to simply get started.  The entrepreneurial path can be daunting, and so we try to make it immediately profitable for the veteran making the move into this industry.  Most TSDs start new agents at 80 or 85%.
2. vTec passes along 1% of agent generated commission revenue to the Vet-advocacy group of our agent's choosing.    
3. Regardless of one's military rank, the practice of payroll runs on the "1st and the 15th" is something every veteran is familiar with.  While different vendors and providers differ in how and when they pay commissions, we've made the 15th of the month our official "pay day."  In order to help ensure commissions land on the 15th, we have relationships with banks you're quite familiar with (Navy Fed and USAA) while also having the ability to pay commissions via crypto currency (BTC, USDC, or USDT). 

The vTec advisor network is comprised of fully independent, 1099 agents, advisors, or consultants.  As an advisor within this network, you may choose to market yourself as a vTec advisor, or you may choose to market yourself under your own company or brand.  

vTec does market its services directly to business owners, most typically, veteran owned businesses operating in the Gulf South.  Obviously, we don't ever want to compete against a vTec agent, but if there's ever any doubt regarding who might own a customer relationship, the "tie" goes to our vTec agent.  

In most instances such is this, the consultant is usually charging a set fee for their services, or doing "project" type work.  The vTec portfolio allows for recurring revenue to be generated because it opens up the entire technology "stack."  For example, nearly every business in the country needs an internet connection.  With vTec, you can now bring group purchasing power to this need.  Everyone wins (except the incumbent carrier who was probably overcharging for their services).

Yes.  In these cases, the commissions that would normally go to you as the advisor will simply go to the vet-advocacy group of your choosing. 

Yes.  The vast majority of suppliers within our portfolio come from agreements that vTec has in place with "aggregators" across the country.  These agreements give us something close to bulk purchasing power.  With smaller suppliers, we bring them into the portfolio for a monthly fee that includes sales and marketing services, indirect channel development, and strategic advisory.
