Before starting to write this article or post, I did some research on some articles sites to figure out what questions people asked themselves before joining a network marketing company – whether the product be high, medium, or low end.
Some questions that came up from those articles makes sense to me and I wanted to share them here, followed by the two most two important questions at the end.
1. Does my product have a SIGNIFICANT VALUE in the market place?
Significant Value does not mean, people might need it or you think people will need it, significant value means that there is a PROVEN HIGH DEMAND for the problem your product is attempting to solve. I think anything in the fitness industry is of significant value because it relates to your health. Without good health, anything else that you try to do is just not the same. Wouldn’t you agree?
2. Does my MLM product effectively answer that Need, NO QUESTIONS ASKED?
In other words, if you want to lose weight or want to show products from your company that show how to lose weight, does it answer that need?
3. Are there already a ton of competitors in your market?
Now, this is one industry that there aren’t any lack of product in. To be honest, do people really know or care about the ORAC factor of a particular juice? They just want to know that this product works for so and so, and it might work for you as well. So, the competition is not really a factor as long as you have some strong testimonials.
By ton, I don’t mean 1 or 2, by ton I mean 100s upon thousands of globally recognized products that are already dominating your niche market. Products that people already Identify with & have a stronger marketing plan then you do.
4. Is this an effective Business Model that will pay me for SELLING this product or do I have to sell millions upon millions of these products before I get to my real goals?
This question made me think a bit. But in the end, I’m not sure you want to get into selling retail. I want to build a business and the cost of doing business with this particular company is to consume its products. This question should be be focused on the business aspect. However, I understand that people may think their particular product is great and want to share it. You should realize that by getting them in the business, they’ll be consuming the product as well.
5. What do you think about the leadership? Do you trust them? Do they have real-world experience to back up their excitement? Do they stretch their facts/figures or do they tell the unvarnished truth? Is the organization financially stable?
I think learning about the leadership is important. Equally as important is the leadership of your upline. I’m a former Marine Officer, and the leadership that the Marines under your charge see most readily is yours. It’s the same in a network marketing company. If you are not teaching the right way to to things, they’ll teach the wrong way to their team members. The downline looks to the upline first and foremost before really looking to the executive team of the company.
6. What do you think of the compensation plan? Do you understand how to make money with the business? Are there any parts of the compensation plan that you are uncomfortable with?
Most people do not really understand the different ways they can make money from the business, either because their upline did not show them or because they did not take the time to find the answer. If you’re going to build a team, you better be able to talk about what’s going to affect their bottom line.
The two most important questions to me, aside from the ones above are:
1. Does the company provide free consumers?
This relates to you getting a certain number of distributors of your own and then your company providing consumers that just want to buy products one time or on autoship. Is that part of your companies structure? I can’t say that I’ve seen any company, except one, provide that.
2. Does the company provide free business builders?
This particular question, just like the one above it, relates to the company giving you free distributors that you don’t have to work for to get, to help you build your organization. There are no organizations, except one, that I know that do provide free distributors.
So, when people come to me about their opportunity, the first two questions I ask are the last two. Unless your company provide those two free components to helping me grow quickly, it’s hard for me to even consider listening to what you have.
