subject: AMSOIL - An MLM Business? [print this page] AMSOIL's business started in 1972 when a jet fighter pilot Lieutenant Colonel Albert J. Amaturzio developed his own brand of oil. Years later he built a company to sell his products. AMSOIL is a company that created some of the first of their kind products, especially for engine oils.
AMSOIL products are sold through independent dealers. Independent dealers are people who want extra money, something to do in their spare time or even a full-time business. You can start an independent AMSOIL dealership for under $50 and work as little or as much as you want. The exceptional products offered by AMSOIL consist of a rock-solid base upon which to build your business.
Owning your own business assures you the freedom to work on your own terms and the chance to set your own goals. It is also an added bonus to sell products that are well known and have an unbelievable reputation. It makes it simpler to sell a product that the customer has heard of because it leaves less uncertainty in the customers mind. If you are promoting a product that that has been around for a long time and has gained the respect of mechanics and car dealerships around the globe it will make your job that much easier.
AMSOIL offers all the advantages of a franchise without the large original outlay. There are many advantages to the AMSOIL opportunity that you will not find in other business opportunities. There is a minimal start-up fee, no inventory requirements, no territory restrictions, no capital investment and no employee expenses or requirements.
AMSOIL provides dealers with an excellent support system to help them develop their businesses. Brochures, tapes, regular meetings, technical services -- everything you need to begin and build your business is available from AMSOIL.
In order to succeed at being an AMSOIL dealer you need to approach this company as you would any other network marketing business. As in any other business you would need to recommend and introduce another person to become a distributor. When that person invests in the starter kit, you would get an introducer's fee. The more people you introduce into the business, the more fees you would make. Other than this introduction fee, you would also receive a small percentage of compensation for any product that the person you introduced into the business sells. This is called residual income and is the key to network marketing.
Network marketing works in a system that does away with advertising to the masses entirely. In this method, members who are part of the company as partner distributors are in a good spot to identify and bring in other distributors to the company. The money that would have been used to advertise the product, and distribute the product at retail places, is passed to distributors for selling the products and for increasing the size of the number of distributors.
AMSOIL therefore benefits from a distributor foundation that is in direct and daily contact with the customer base. It also benefits from the personal motivation of the distributors to earn revenue through both the direct sale of products as well as their drive to grow the network of distributors.
