Joining an MLM Company
If you are considering joining a company that is so new it has no track record, at the very least, make certain the principals in the company do have a track…a good one. It is very, very risky to join a company that has not been in existence at least a couple of years. If you feel compelled to join, and don’t have first hand knowledge of the integrity of those starting up the company, do your due diligence: check them out, call their references, and if their compensation plan is untested and sounds too good to be true, it probably is. At the very least, call the Direct Selling Association in Washington, D.C., and find out if the company under consideration is a member. If not, watch out!
If you are in your first few years in this industry making a decent living with a solid company, and, like Carol, an overzealous sponsor shows you big checks or a comp plan too good to be true, hopefully, you’ll have the common sense to stay where you are. Network marketing is big business played on an international stage offering staggering income potential, enormous amounts of free time, travel, power, and prestige. To hit the big numbers is to be treated like an international rock star playing to large audiences and standing ovations on every continent. You’ll be treated to the best cuisine in every location and interact with the most powerful people in industry, medicine, and law. Remember, as you are trying to appeal to various professions in corporate America and throughout the world, each one has its malcontents and frequently the most successful among them are the players who can relate to these kinds of earnings. As you move from your warm market into your cold market prospects, you need to understand that this is a numbers game and not be intimidated by it.
MLM is the “great equalizer” in which former blue-collar workers are allowed to compete with, or even bypass, doctors and corporate leaders. Perhaps from the standpoint of workloads and maybe with respect to the number of people you actually have to sponsor, you were falsely induced into MLM, but no one can truly tell you about the joy or earning five- or six- figure monthly incomes until you yourself experience it. So, don’t whine, get to work! What’s it going to be – four years or forty?
