For those who seek to build an MLM business…..What do those who bash MLM on Yahoo Answers offer? Mentoring?

by OnBehalfOf on September 28, 2008

What do you look for in a home based business opportunity?

Do you seek a product or service you will enjoy sharing?

Do you study the compensation plan before joining?

Do you understand what your target market is?

Do you seek a mentor who will provide one on one training as needed?

Do you plan to become a mentor?

Would you join an MLM company based on yours or someone else's greed?

Just 4 Marcello….LOL.

1. I look for a company that is financially solid and has a product that I feel can help people.

2. Yes, I look for a product I would enjoy sharing. It would be pretty difficult to market something I hated or thought wasn't worth the money.

3.Yes, I study the compensation plan. The beauty of that is you can see what your potential income would be based on your sales and how much work you're willing to put into it…unlike many people who accept JOBS without ever asking what their income will be.

4. You have to understand who your target market is or you will waste a good deal of your time and/or get discouraged and give up.

5. If a company is worth it's while, it will come with not one but several mentors who will all teach you their own unique way of doing business. You can choose which one works best for you.

6. I am a mentor.

7. I don't think greed has anything to do with it. I have never been greedy nor have I ever signed anyone who signed up based on greed. Wanting to have unlimited income has nothing to do with greed and everything to do with being a good business person. Most people strive to be the best that they can be, regardless of whether they're working a menial job, they're a real estate broker or they're an oil tycoon.
Anyone who considers it greedy to want more out of life and are willing to work hard for it, is not a business person and has some deep hang-ups about money.

    Go to college and learn about real business.

    With MLM, you are creating competition for your business by selling a dream to someone who is going to turn around and sell the same dream to people in the same market. That makes no sense.

    My best advice about joining an MLM would be to stay
    away from it unless you use the product yourself and
    you fully understand the benefits of the product.

    Never go into it just for the money. You will be setting yourself up for failure. In fact 90% of the people who join an MLM never get their business off the ground.

    I belong to two MLMs that I do quite well with, but only because I enjoy the benefits of the product , They are:

    I've seen others out there I wouldn't touch
    and yes I have Thoroughly checked these companies out
    They have some of the best professional management and training I've seen

    For those people that DO bash MLM, what do you think being a Mortgage or Real Estate Broker is!!!! They are at the top of the pyramid, and make a little off all their loan officers and realtors….HELLO!

    MLM rocks, if you understand how to use it.
