Unrewarding MLM checks The sad truth of network marketing





A few days ago, I had a conversation with a lady who reached a very significant pin level in one of the largest and oldest MLM companies. She is no longer with this company, but her story is one that's not too uncommon within the MLM industry and should serve as a lesson to all of those who really want to live the MLM "Dream".

From the outside she and her husband had what you could call "success". They were always on stage, speaking and telling inspirational stories at company events. Every week they trained their downline on how to promote the business and its products.

What was missing?... The Money!

Over their years with this company, they had tirelessly built a downline numbering in the thousands. They should have been on an executive level income, but their monthly bonus check was less than two thousand dollars!

So what went wrong? Did their company rip them off? Well, sort of...

The problem was their business was plagued by downline attrition. New distributors would come and go very quickly. Their downline simply could not generate the volume that was required to achieve the level of income they were promised. They and their leading distributors did their best, but they could not motivate the people in their downline to build the business.

Downline attrition is a growing problem in the network marketing industry as the internet continues to distract people with endless get-rich-quick money making opportunities. Now, it's more important than ever before to get the right people people into your business. (And business opportunity seekers are the worst types of people you can have.)

They worked very hard to build that business, doing endless belly-to-belly prospecting that quite frankly, most networkers do not want to do.

So did they sponsor the wrong people? Perhaps...

But on closer inspection of the company's business model and its compensation plan, their lacklustre results were for the most part, inevitable. This company ran a compensation plan that only benefited the very few distributors who got to the top. The people in the field, who would work hard in their spare time to build their dream, who sustained the business, were rewarded virtually nothing for their efforts.

The large distributor "training system" that they were apart of did not encourage retailing but rather endless recruiting, which of course, benefits the distributors at the top. The massive attrition was no surprise. Nobody wants to work hard for nothing.

The moral of this story is you can't succeed unless you understand the business model of your MLM company. First and foremost, good business partners are essential. You can not afford to have business opportunity seekers who hop from company to company. But you must have a compensation plan that rewards people in the field for their efforts.

Network marketing is a hard game. There's nothing more de-motivating than spending time and money showing the plan every day, sponsoring just a few and not see any tangible result for it.

Don t Be Mislead MLM Duplication is a Bunch of Bull
Everybody who's been in the network marketing industry for a period of time has heard the cliche: This is a business of duplication. Network marketers are often trained to ask themselves something like this... Is this duplicate-able? Can everyone on my team follow the system I'm using and get the same explosive results? Indeed, Duplication has become sacred, with wild notions like your business is doomed to fail if nobody can copy what you're doing, or you won't be able to coach your team...

But there is a big difference between Internet Marketing and Network Marketing and it's important for you, as a...

How MLM Companies Use Front End Breakage to Create Massive Profits
Breakage is money that's kept by the MLM company that otherwise could have been given out to distributors in the field. Why should companies look after distributors and give out as much money as possible? Because MLM companies are nothing without their distributors. Bare that in mind as you read this... In the world of network marketing, there's front end breakage and there's back end breakage or what's commonly referred to as compensation plan breakage. For this article, let's take a...

The Two Lies That Killed Your Chances of Success in MLM
Most network marketers are struggling through absolutely no fault of their own. Many struggle for years without any success and as a result, feel inadequate, depressed and frustrated. They are struggling because they've been lied to. They were told the two fundamental lies that killed any chance of their long term success... 1. It's sales business 2.

Are You a Rep for an Network Marketing Company with High Overhead Run For Your Life
If you want to create long term residual income in network marketing and have that support your desired lifestyle, avoid MLM companies with high overhead. The more overhead an MLM company has, the less chance of success you will have in the long term, because the less commissions it can pay you for the hard work that you do as a distributor. The less commissions it pays, the more people you'll need to sponsor. The more you'll need to sponsor, means your recruits will need to sponsor more...

What If Your Network Marketing Company Decides To Stop Doing MLM
What does it mean when a company does away with its play plan? It's an absolute kick in the guts to the hard working reps who built the company from the ground up. All that hard work inviting people, talking to them on the phone, meeting people in cafes, restaurants and homes, doing presentations, the no shows, follow ups and coaching calls all of a sudden means nothing - a complete waste! That's what happened to the distributors of a nutritional beverage MLM company in early 2010. Their...

Why Some Network Marketers Are Luckier Than Others
Why are some people luckier than others? Why do things just seem to fall into place for some people and not not for most? Why are some people so much happier than others and have more friends? It's no accident. People aren't just blessed with good fortune, though sometimes it might seem that way. It might seem unfair. But the truth is, people who are lucky have mastered The Spiderweb Effect. People who are lucky build large webs. People who are unlucky do not build webs at all. There's a...

An Undeniable Principle of MLM Success
I'm going to give you an amazingly simple Network Marketing Success formula that will help you create massive wealth. But first, let's preface it first... In the self help circles, there's a saying that goes Take the average of the incomes of your 5 closest friends and you get yours. Coincidentally, all highly successful Network Marketers say that most of their income comes from just 4 to 5 leaders in their organisation. At first, I didn't think too much about my income being the...

The 10K Question How many reps do you need in your downline
Have you ever considered how many people do you need in your downline to make $10,000 per month? Once you work this out, the answer to this question may surprise you. It may even anger you depending on how serious you are about becoming financially independent via network marketing. The real question is: how much does your MLM company reward you for bringing in revenue? The best compensation plan is one that will pay you the most money for the least amount of effort. So why do some...

Is Teaching Marketing Skills To Network Marketers Not Duplicatable
Have you ever been in this situation? Straight after you signed on the dotted line to become a new distributor, your upline sat you down and got you to write out a warm marketing list? That list of 100 of your friends and family? Some uplines will even put their new distributors right on the spot by getting them to call their list right then and there. Instinctively most new distributors know that it's not a good idea to be prospecting their friends and family about a business opportunity....
