My Blog Calvert: 5 Pillars To Success In Finding A Network Marketing Company

PILLAR 1: "Company Management Experience with Integrity"

How can you figure out if the companies' Management has experience? Do a Google search! Find out who the owners are and what they've done in the past. Have they ever had the experience of building their own downline? And, were they successful doing it? Or, are they Corporate Fortune 500 Executives that have had no prior experience building a successful downline in Network Marketing.

How can you figure out if the companies' Management has Integrity? Read their Policies and Procedures Guide. Is it written in the distributor's highest interest or does it solely protect the interests of the company and the investors?

The TRUTH is: "Network Marketing Companies are nothing without YOU, the distributor".

PILLAR 2: "Timing in the Industry and Timing in the Company"

Has someone ever approached you and said that timing is critical and that this is the best time to get involved because this opportunity is the next Microsoft of Opportunities? And/Or now is the time to sign up otherwise this opportunity will pass you by?

The TRUTH is: "If the opportunity is supposedly great today then it will be awesome tomorrow".

PILLAR 3: "Great Products at Value Price"

Many companies have phenomenal products; however they are not equally affordable. Once you start to justify to someone why they must pay a premium price for a product or a service, then you become a sales person

The TRUTH is: "Network Marketing is not a sales business, it is a relationship business".

Why would you charge your grandmother the retail price rather than the wholesale price just because she is not an associate of the company?

The TRUTH is: "If you really want great products that are affordable, you can go to the store and buy it. Therefore, you need to have great products at value prices".

PILLAR 4: "Compensation Plan"

In Network Marketing there are various compensation plans, here are some of them: Binary, Matrix, Stair Step Breakaway, Unilivel, Aussie 2 Ups, and many more...

The TRUTH is: "Most people don't know how to understand their compensation plansmore likely it was never explained to them".

Would you ever start a job without knowing how you are going to get paid?

The only way to compare one plan to another is to create a point of reference. This point would be: How much residual monthly income would you want to have in order to quit your day job? I always use $10,000 a month because it is a simple figure to calculate, if you desire $5,000 a month just divide the number by two or multiply it by 2 if you desire $20,000 a month.

I have seen Network Marketing Compensation Plans where distributors needed 25,000 people to make $10,000 a month? How likely is that to happen?

I have also seen Compensation Plans where distributors needed less than 400 people.

The TRUTH is: "Let me ask you? Which one would you choose?"

PILLAR 5: "A Proven System that EVERYONE can Duplicate"

The biggest problem in Network Marketing is "DUPLICATION". Just because your upline's upline has achieved a substantial level of success doesn't guarantee that their method or system is duplicatable for you and those in your downline.

Is it duplicatable to sign up everybody at a $1,000, $2,000 or $3,000 dollar level, and told that this is the only way to sign up to be successful? Is it duplicatable to recruit people and take them to a meeting when there is no meeting near you or the company headquarters is not in your city or create a meeting from scratch? Is making a list of Friends and Family a system that is duplicatable for everyone or that you are even comfortable with? After you have approached your friends and family with your opportunity, do they run the other way when they see you?

Most people are taught that they need to change their personality or character to be successful in Network Marketing. They think that they have to learn selling and recruiting tactics. This is NOT a system, because 90% of the population are not good sales people nor do they even like sales people.

The TRUTH is: "Network Marketing is not a sales or recruiting business, it is a relationship business. People join people, they don't join companies".

You are perfect just the way you are! You do not need to change who you are to be successful. Just be coachable and prepared to learn new skills.

The TRUTH is: "A good system is a system that is Duplicatable for everyone without having to sell".

In conclusion, the TRUTH is:

Make sure you choose a "5 PILLARS" company in order for you to be successful. In the end you are the one that will define you own success.

Remember it's called Net*WORK* Marketing.

NOT Net*FREE*
But it should not have to cost more than $500 to start.

NOT Net*Easy*
But it's simple.

It's NOT Net*I'll do all the work FOR you*
It only works if YOU do.

It's NOT Net*Get-Rich-Quick*
But you can create a lifetime residual income.
