Selecting a company
How to select a company:
First off, let me say there are wide variety of quality network marketing companies out there … with different products/services to suite just about any interest. This little section is not meant to be a definitive guide to choosing a “good” company. But, I am going to share with you three simple little “rules” that I’ve found to be useful when it comes to selecting a quality business …
Products/Services - Let’s call this one the “would you buy it” rule … Basically, would you (or other “real” people that you know) purchase the company’s products or services (at the RETAIL price) even if there was NO money making opportunity involved? Now if you come up with a “no” to this question, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the opportunity is a “scam” or “pyramid scheme”. However, based on my experience I can tell you that you would have an extremely hard time succeeding with any company where you didn’t personally feel that the products/services provides a good VALUE for price being asked.
Opportunity - I like to call this one the “mom” rule … real simply, would ask your mother/brother/sister/favorite aunt to sign-up for your business opportunity (using THEIR OWN money) ? This one is important! You’ve got to find something that you won’t be embarrassed to share with people you know. If you think that it’s possible to succeed in network marketing talking ONLY to strangers, you’ll quite likely be setting yourself up for a long, hard, disappointing road.
Management - This one is the “x-factor”, and quite likely more important (from a long-term perspective) than either of the previous criteria combined. Find out all you can about the people who are running the company. What is their background / experience? What are their Beliefs? What is their Vision? Find the answers to these questions, then see how well your own beliefs and vision FIT with that of the company. Bottom line here … trust your gut … and don’t ever let the dream of “easy money” cloud your better judgement.
