Network Marketing 101 - Evaluate the program
It's Wednesday. Time for the second installment of the Network Marketing 101 series.
If you are trying to decide whether you should join a network or even which network to start up with, I always recommend and urge my potential new business partners to do their research. Important decisions are not made casually and I try to emphasize their choice to start in my business is an important one. It could be life changing. It could be the first step in creating a legacy for their family and may have a tremendous impact on their future.
Here are some obvious basic questions that everyone typically will ask:
- How much will it cost me to get started?
- Will someone help me learn the things I need to know to be successful?
- Is there a charge for this training?
- When will I get paid for the work I've done?
- Who do I call if I have a problem / question / concern?
- How much time will I have to dedicate to doing this?
- Is there selling involved?
- How much do the products cost and is there a personal purchase quota?
Here are some additional things to consider. Some of these are more introspective and values-based but should be considered vital in creating the best possible environment for success.
- Would the integrity of the company's leadership inspire you to follow them?
- Is the company mission-driven or get-rich-quick motivated?
- Does the company's corporate philosophy fit your personal philosophy?
- Does the company depend on hype to sell it's opportunity, or will the company and opportunity survive a factual examination of the claims made at company-sponsored opportunity meetings?
- Would the opportunity give you a real chance to make a positive difference in the lives of those you sponsor into the business?
- Can you understand the compensation plan without needing a Ph.D. in economics?
- Is it home based or will I need to leave my home in order to build it?
- Are the products items you would buy if you weren't involved in the business? What kind of quality and customer support is available for the products being marketed?
