MLM Companies: Choosing The Right One

By Ken Acree


There are thousands of MLM Companies in existence today. Considering that a staggeringly large percentage of them fail within their first year, it is wise of you to do your due diligence. This article will provide enough background for you to make a sound decision about what venture is right for you and your family.

There are a number of common misconceptions today about the MLM profession. Let's dispel some of those quickly. Many people still view Network Marketing as some type of scam. That is incorrect, although sometimes individual companies in every industry participate in scams. There is also a thought that the average person cannot succeed in MLM. This also is unfounded, although there is a learning curve just as in any new endeavor.

In a lot of ways, it is a brilliant concept. People are bombarded with advertising messages today everywhere they look. On the TV, billboards, in the newspaper...even their own phones are trying to sell them something! MLM Companies have figured out that amidst all of this hustle and bustle, the best way to get peoples' attention is to have someone that they know and love share a product with them.

To be successful, a company absolutely must measure up in three areas. They are company leadership, product line, and compensation structure. While success is never guaranteed, getting these three factors right will give you a fighting chance.

The right leader will be someone who has proven his/her abilities. Following a good idea may be exciting, but if the person at the helm does not have skills in implementation, you are setting yourself up for a letdown.

Some people join MLM companies only for the products. Others are only interested in the money. Even if you only care about how much money you can make, be certain that the products you are offering are in demand in today's market, at the price that you are charging. Without meeting this criteria, your company will not be around long and no one makes any money.

The important thing about the company pay plan is whether or not it is fair. By fair I mean that it is competitive with the market place and values full-time and part-times distributors alike. If leaders seem to by jumping ship, that may be a danger sign.

There are other factors you could consider when evaluating MLM companies. However, these 3 are the most important. With great leadership, products, and pay, companies may still fail. That is the nature of business. But receive high marks for each of these factors and your chances of success are strong.
