Is There Value Or Danger In Expanding ?

If you are an experienced network marketer, have had your name out there for a while

, and are recognized as someone who knows what they are doing, you will most likely eventually be bombarded with companies wanting you to promote their productthe next latest and greatest thing. Many network marketers succumb to the glitter of the next shiny new toy and companies make some pretty substantial offersif not monetary up front offer, the promise of significantly higher future earnings. Sometimes that is okay, but there are some things to consider before jumping on the bandwagon.

First and foremost is to know who you are doing business with. Is this company run by someone who knows what they are doing? How long have they been working on this product? Related to knowing who is running things, know the product. Is it really all they claim? Do they have the documentation to back up their claims? How many other companies are out there with similar products?

Next is the compensation plan. It may look great now, but how long can the company sustain the kinds of payouts they are talking about? Is this new company going to be your main focus or just a sideline? Multilevel marketing companies are notorious for high payouts at the beginning and then getting themselves in trouble later and having to cut or radically change the compensation plan. If this new company is to be your main focus, you don't want to get caught later with a significant cut in your compensation or having to work twice as hard to make the same money.

Third, if this is not going to be your main company, will this new endeavor interfere with the company you are working with now? Does your current company have a clause about not working with other companies? (Most do not, but sometimes it is there.) Is there a conflict of interest between what you are doing now and this new company?

Last, and not least, do you really have the time you need to devote to this new company? Can you really be successful at promoting these new products? After all, it goes without saying that these new companies make the offer because they want your expertise and they want you to promote their product to your contacts. While there is generally no contract that states that you will do anything in particular for this new company, you don't want to get the reputation for "churning and burning," taking as much as you can then bailing out.

Making the decision to expand your horizons should be done with some thought and some due diligence. Research the new company and the people involved. Make sure the products you represent do not conflict with each other. Remember your priorities and who you really want to work with on a long term basis. Be open to new opportunities; just don't burn your bridges in the process.
