Trying to find the perfect MLM company?
With the explosion of the Internet, Multi Level Marketing (MLM) aka: Network Marketing, Direct Selling or Direct Marketing companies have more than doubled their growth over the last ten year. Because of the growth in the MLM industry many new company's have been started.
So, your thinking about starting your own home based business in the MLM field? Or, you just want to see how you current company measures up? Here are some things to look for when evaluating and choosing a MLM company.
Stability. One word sums it up. This is the most important thing to look for. Make sure the company has been in business for at least 2 to 5 years. The long, the better. The long they have been around the better the chances are they will be here tomorrow or 5 years from now. There is enough things to worry about in network marketing like advertising and sponsoring without having to stress out about whether your company will be he a year from now.
Even if you because the top dollar earner in your company it wouldn't matter if all of a sudden the doors were locked. Unfortunately, for any business there are no guarantees. But, with a company with a long track record they normally have higher chances of longevity.
The next thing to identify is who runs the company? Who are the owners? Is there a president, shareholders, a board of directors? What is their track record? Do they have any experience in the network marketing industry? What other business have they ran or been involved with in the past?
To get answers to these questions, email, call or visit the company. It's really important to have these answers from the get go. If you are planning on building a business and possibly spending many years with this MLM company you want to know the people running the show are honest, have integrity and have your been interest in mind.
From there evaluate the product or service being sold. Are you having to purchase a bunch of products up front? If so, how much? Are you required to continuously purchase products to try and resell? Are you going having to change the person buying decision. For example, are you trying to get the person to buy Brand X instead of buying Brand Y.
Is the product unique? Does the public need the product or service that the public needs?
The other thing to look for is: how easy is it for people to join your company? Can they sign up online? Do they have to fill out forms? Is there are bunch of paper work and overhead.
The last thing you should look for are start up costs. Every BUSINESS has costs affiliated with it. You can start many MLM businesses for under $100. And many for $50 or under.
