subject: A Fool Proof Way To Evaluate An Mlm Business [print this page] If you have been thinking about starting an MLM business the best place to start is to seek out someone who may already be involved in the industry you are considering. Don't get started in a business where you can't point to someone who isn't already successful.
There are numerous MLM businesses out there that make a ton of promises, however most of them are not programmed for the average person to succeed. There are numerous reasons why people drop out of MLM businesses and speaking from experience we know the number one reason why. Low commissions. The products and company we were marketing were excellent it was the very low odds of making any money in the early years.
We weren't quitters in those early years and there were times it was difficult to stay focused, but the products worked so well we stayed in the business. After a few years we did finally start making a respectful income, however a lot of people we tried to help start up in the business soon quit because there just wasn't much money in the early going.
Now we were with a very good company that made fabulous products, but we soon made another startling discovering about succeeding in the fickle world of an MLM business.
You see we were selling products that although were beneficial to your health they just weren't something people needed everyday. What we found out (the hard way) was people didn't always order their products every month, some refused to be on an autoship program and there were times people just didn't have the extra money.
It started to become a losing battle replacing customers just as fast as we were getting them. Now don't get me wrong we were doing our job, but we couldn't control the circumstances of all our customers. Again we had the right products, but not everyone saw a need to have them all the time.
Even though the money was decent it wasn't always consistent. Once we discovered the missing link to being successful in MLM we never looked back.
Based on our experience with our first MLM adventure we wanted to steer away from a company that marketed products that consumers didn't necessarily need. Instead we wanted to work with a company that sold a variety of products that people needed everyday.
There are two simple keys to making in big in MLM:
1.) Market and Endorse Products that People Use Everyday. 2.) Don't worry about the low commissions in the early going. You never make much money in the first few months of a new MLM. Look at the big picture and see what the true potential is of the business you decide to join.
If you can accomplish these two small steps in starting your business then you can be assured of success. Remember this is a part time venture anyway so start slow and easy and develop a belief and knowledge of your product line. Product knowledge is without a doubt the key to your success so learn your products frontwards and backwards.
