There are so many MLM companies out there today and it's so easy to become confused and ultimately, discouraged.
How do you choose the best of them; what criteria should you use when considering them and what are your MLM goals and objectives? Three very good questions and each one deserves some consideration before making a choice.
Use these tips as a guideline when doing your MLM research.
1.
Can your upline show you a plan or a system? Your MLM success depends on the support and training offered by your sponsor and your upline, which is critical.
If they have a plan in place and can show you where the company has been and where it is going, you have probably found a good MLM, providing the support and encouragement necessary for your success! The system or plan should be solidly in place so that you can hook into it right away.
Any questions or technical issues you have should be resolved immediately, allowing you to focus on your downline! 2.
What product or service does the MLM company sell? Whatever it is, it must conform to the MLM model, which means that your customers will require more information from you before they buy the product or service.
If the MLM company is offering something with "obvious" value, it will not fit well with the MLM model.
3.
It goes without saying that you need to like the product or service your MLM company is promoting.
Let's go as far as saying that you should absolutely LOVE it - most people join MLM's because the product or service is so fantastic that they cannot stop talking about it - enthusiasm makes sales and then more sales! 4.
How soon and how easy will it be for you to earn back your initial investment in your MLM? This is the first question we need to get answered! Start-up fees vary from company to company and there are some who don't charge a fee at all! Very attractive initially, but it will take a lot longer for you to generate some profit from them.
Examine too, the bonuses and incentives offered to new members - and what is the compensation plan and how does it work? You need to make absolutely certain that the MLM you join will offer opportunities for residual income - you earn on recurring sales to the same customer as well as on those members which join under you - your downline.
5.
Has your prospective MLM gone global? This is not critical at this point - but there should be some kind of plan in place for it to do so in the future.
6.
Most well-managed MLM's understand that new members already have full-time jobs and family commitments - and that initially, they are not able to put in full-time hours working at MLM.
Your prospective MLM should offer support and assistance which permits you to get started and proceed at your own pace and not according to whatever theirs may be! 7.
Will your MLM track and maintain your sponsorship date? Are you able to access it whenever you need to? This is critical because their administration of these important details means that you're not wasting good sales time doing "housework" and will also keep you energized and motivated to succeed in MLM.
And finally - good luck to you.
The best MLM's will have all these elements in place and these tips should assist you in your choice.
