When searching through "MLM companies" there
are a few things that you should always keep in mind to ask about the company.
1. Who are the owners? Do they have experience in business and in the network
marketing industry?
2. What is the product? Is it something that you feel brings value to the marketplace
and something that you can get passionate about?
3. Who is your leader? Will they provide training and support for you? Do they
have a system?
4. What is the compensation plan? What are the specific things that you have
to do to get paid?
5. How long has the company been in business? Is it a "ground floor" opportunity?
Is it and it's a momentum stages? Or is it a stable company looking to
maintain its profits?
So, since I know these are important things to consider, I looked at
each one.
1. The owners have been in multi-level marketing and business world
for many years. And the product formulator has created products for
many also marketing
companies.
2. I saw that the product (I'm not going to go into specifics) definitely
brings value to the marketplace. We saw both of our families get results
from the
products, which led us to be so confident that it really does work.
3. Our leader is Erica Combs. We used to work for Jeffery and Erica and
Golden mastermind seminars in California for two years. In May of 2008,
we moved home
to Minnesota and shortly after we got a call saying that she was going
to start this business. Of course Jeffery and Erica have an outstanding
reputation in
the industry (coaching and hosting trainings for multiple companies),
so we knew that they knew that this was a good business…. but also
did research of our own.
4. The compensation plan, the company we represent is a binary plan.
It is very easy to get qualified to be paid. In this plan you have two
legs a left
and a right leg. To be qualified to be paid, all you have to do is have
one person on each side actively ordering each month to be paid (of course,
if
this is all you have, it will take a long time for you to be paid). We
also love the fact that it's a compensation plan that pays on infinity.
This means
that we will get paid on anybody below us, so it creates a team of mentality.
5. The company is been in business seven years. I prefer to join companies
when they're in momentum stage because of two reasons. I hide joined
this company to create a massive income for myself, so joining a "ground floor" coproduced
just too risky. If they go out of business (which 95% of them do), I will be
out of lot of time and energy that I had devoted to that business. Now, I could've
joined a company that was a little older, but these companies are just too "stable" for
me. They already have their customer base built up, so they're more in "maintain
mode" rather than "build mode."
