Once, maybe twice in your life, you may be presented with an amazing
opportunity that can change your life dramatically. The question is…
Would you recognize it?
There are thousands of network marketing companies, mixed with a few
giants, and a far too many wanna-be’s. Sure, you can have a burning
passion for a certain company and it’s products and be well on your way
to creating the lifestyle you’ve always dreamed about… But.. What if it all
came to an end?
Here’s some points to consider when making a decision to join an MLM:
1. Track Record
How long has the company been in business? Are you excited because it’s
a brand new pre-launch and you have a chance to be a ‘founding’ member?
If so, give your head a shake! You need to look for a solid company that
is well established, period. You’re probably saying that you wouldn’t have
a chance to make ‘guru’ money with a well established company, but read
on and you’ll get the idea of why it just makes sense.
2. Transparency
Can you find out for sure if the monetary claims are real? Can you obtain
company sales information?
3. Innovation
CRITICAL! Find out if the company plans to expand and roll out new products
on a continuous basis. Do they offer smart marketing limited time offers?
4. Science
Find out who is behind the product formulations/creations. It could be a
couple of people, or it could be a massive team of scientists/specialists.
5. Training
In any network marketing company, training is critical. Be sure you are
loaded with facts, tools, and information and have a team (upline) ready to
help you at all times – However, don’t expect a ton of help if you are not
willing to be coachable. Most network marketing companies have a
training system which is already proven successful.
6. Media Coverage & Publications
Do some digging to see if there’s lots of positive media attention and
publications to support your growing business. Look for awards the
company has received as well.
7. Availability
Do not be limited to where you can grow your business!
8. Compensation
If you plan on pursuing a top level pin title, find out if your earnings are
capped. Look for a network marketing company that offers unlimited
earning potential. Also, be sure the incentive trips or bonuses are real.
9. Visit the Company
Get on the plane and go to the company’s headquarters and take a ton
of questions with you. Ask to see the CEO if possible, visit various areas
of the building, labs, etc., and, check if they are an outstanding contributor
to the community or other charities/organizations.
10. Timing and Trends
Looking at the economy, & trends, ask yourself if the products you are
selling are in high demand. Think about residual income from your customer
base and if the products are more like ‘one time’ purchases or recurring orders.
Not all multi-level marketing companies are created equal, so before you
leap into something, do your homework. It’s YOUR business, your reputation,
and future at stake! Remember this is net’work’ marketing, not net’wish’ marketing!
