Deciding Which Network Marketing Company To Join

After reading the E-Book Success in 10 Steps I realised it was paramount that I found a Network Marketing company that  gave me the best chance of success. I listened to a fantastic training call, named the 5-Pillars which explained exactly what you need to look for in a company for “YOU” to be successful. There is a big difference between You being successful and the company being successful..

So what are the 5 Pillars (or factors) you need to be looking for..

Pillar 1 – Management with Experience and Integrity.

You want the management running your Network Marketing Company to have experience in the Network Marketing industry. Ideally they at some point were once on the front line, they have experience building their own network. They know and understand how the distributors/affliatiates feel, the frustrations felt the motivations required.. They have the distributors best interests at heart.. Once you have found the management do some research on them. Google them, find out what previous experience they have had. Some management have no experience, they’ve come in from running some bit corporate company and all there looking for is how to maximise profit for the company.. One way to do this is maximise the “Breakage” of the compensation plan, this is something I’ll explain later but simply means finding ways to avoid paying the distributors.

So how do you decide whether they have integrity. Well you previous research should help. Now you need to read the Policy and Procedures.. This is something I never did with my first company and it is so vital that you do. A quick pointer, the shorter the P&P’s the better. 3,4,5 pages any longer and you seriously need to be reading carefully. Since i’ve been armed with this knowledge I have seen P&P’s of some companies as high as 50/60+ pages.. What are they or there lawyers hiding??? Look out for key phrases like “termination”, “on-going sales”. Start from the back if they are long as the its at the back where all the key clauses are written.. You don’t want to spent 3 years build a big network, having a nice residual cheque coming in only to have it all taken away by some clause in the P&P’s.

Summary

Read the Policy and Procedures and research the management team. Ideally the P&P’s about 3-10 pages long and the management have experince in the industry…
