What to Look For In a Network Marketing Company

1. PRODUCT

You must find a product

or service you

absolutely love:

• Something you

would buy forever,

regardless of

whether or not

you are a distributor.

• Something you can recommend to others without reservation.

If you have to try to feel this way about the product, let it go. It will not

work for you long term. Less important (but still vital) is that the product

or service is consumable, which means that the customer is required to

regularly buy more.

2. YOUR UPLINE

These are the people above you in your line of sponsorship. They will be

partnering with you, training you and supporting you. You will be spending

countless hours with them. They will be in your home, and you in theirs.

You may be earning them a lot of money. You must at least like them.

Preferably you will love, honor and respect them.

Look for people who are dedicated, loyal, focused, positive, committed,

generous and successful. Hook your wagon onto a rising Network

Marketing star and you will increase your probability of success immensely.

And most importantly, once you choose your sponsor and upline, listen

to them. Follow their lead. Get trained by them. Be coachable. They can

only be successful if you are successful.

3. THE COMPANY

You must be proud of and trust the company: your “mothership” and its

leaders. They are your partners in product development, legal and financial

issues, human resources, customer service, product development, order fulfillment,

data processing, international expansion, public relations, ethics

and culture. They are crucial to your long-term success.

Imagine working hard for two or three years to build a solid Network

Marketing group, then having the company go out of business or embarrass

you and your group so badly that everyone wants to quit.

Choose your mothership wisely.

AVOID choosing a Network Marketing company that:

1. Has distributors who promise quick income with very little effort.

2. Has distributors who promise to sell and recruit for you.

3. Is a brand-new, ground-floor revolutionary company — unless you

absolutely love the products, people and company and are willing to

take the risk.

4. Has a compensation plan that encourages you to “buy in,” “buy

slots,” or order what seems like a “garage load” of product.

5. Says you do not have to sell (recommend or share) product.

6. Has frequent product backorders. Backorders do happen, but if they

are anything more than a rarity, look out.

7. Is late with commission checks.

8. Has training, policies or promotions that consistently violate your

personal values. You will not be able to sell this opportunity with

any personal conviction or power.

9. Sells photocopied sales literature at full-color prices.
