Just like in any profitable market industry, there are
people looking to get rich quick who will say or do just
about anything to make that happen. That is the case with
some MLM programs too. There are MLM companies where the
founders are shady, dishonest, and prey on the good
intentions of new MLM distributors. As a new MLM'er there
are a few things that can aid you in your search for a
reputable company.
1) Reputation Is Key
Reputation is everything in the business world. MLM
companies have definite reputations within MLM communities.
If the time is taken to do sufficient research, you can be
reasonably sure that the company that you are joining is on
the up and up. Pay attention to what people are writing on
blogs and chatting about online. While there will always be
something negative about every company available for
review, you will definitely be able to tell the good from
the bad companies. A good website to aid in your search is
www.mlmwatchdog.com.
2) Check Out The Newer Companies
If you find a long standing reputable company, you can be
assured that the company will be reliable and a potentially
profitable endeavor. On the flip side, if you only research
by program longevity, you could miss out on a potentially
great new MLM program. There are ways to protect yourself
if you're interested in a newly established MLM company. It
will require more vigilant work on your part though to
maintain your safety.
The founders should be carefully scrutinized as to their
previous business holdings, reputation with those business
dealings, and all of their related credentials. The
companies plan for customer support is also essential to
the success of any new company. If the company plans on
handling large volumes of new distributors, then a customer
support call center needs to be put into place. A live
person for people to talk to, not just an automated system.
The research available on the new company of interest
should be morally and ethically sound. Too much hype or
promises that seem too good to be true usually are. Watch
out for companies promising too much.
3) Know The Compensation Plan
Along with being reputable, the company should also have
income potential. The compensation plan should be
competitive with other comparable companies. Research other
companies with the same or similar comp plans to evaluate
income potential.
There is absolutely no way to ensure that you will have
success with any certain company. There are too many
variables to affect the outcome. However, with some
diligent research, you can safe guard yourself from a
potentially bad situation. MLM is a legitimate business
model, but it is all too easy to fall into the glitz,
glamor, and hype of a program before making sure that the
facts support the program's claims. Looking for a new MLM
should be done with all of the scrutiny, objectivity, and
due diligence as a brick and mortar business.
