I guess the concerns and issues that have to be considered when starting an MLM business are still the same though they come in another manner. And it's true that there are so many products being sold right now that you would have to think twice before you choose one that has high value for others other than just yourself. Thanks for enlightening me here. Elmar Hi Melanie,

Your post really helps me a lot to learn more about MLM. I guess the concerns and issues that have to be considered when starting an MLM business are still the same though they come in another manner.

And it’s true that there are so many products being sold right now that you would have to think twice before you choose one that has high value for others other than just yourself.

Thanks for enlightening me here.

Elmar

What are some criteria for choosing the right MLM? Professionalism is first- and it encompasses many aspects in itself including having the right people in the right positions in corporate, customer service, web presence etc. Unique products with real value in the marketplace and a marketing plan that includes a solid CUSTOMER acquisition training. Training - top level sales training delivered online and off - a systematic approach for creating entrepreneurs. That way I can leverage my marketing - plug people into the company system to train them up right! Marketing system - built in, not at additional cost. We live in an online economy. Our Network Marketing companies need to have a clue about marketing! That includes giving us conversion forward capture pages and autoresponder followup built into the distributor website. So capture pages, autoreponders, prospects managers- all as part of the distributor website. What else... Of course! A modern comp plan that pays me what I'm worth! Said another way…

It's always something you can use right now. If you haven't seen her tutorials on the Renegade Professional, you must. She provides easy to understand information that will take your business to new heights. I always pay attention to Melanie. You should too. Thanks..Steve Warren.

Amazing video and everything you said is so true! So excited to be on your team with such an amazing company! Thank you for the opportunity to work with you and to learn so much from you! "Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them:" "he who teaches, in teaching;" Romans 12:6-7 That is your amazing gift! Agnes P.S.

What you say about the training is so true. Any new recruit has to evaluate the level of marketing training from their upline before that of the company. Relying on cookie-cutter corporate training is often futile since internet-based exposure is seldom taught. Fortunately there are internet pioneers like you willing to give back to the profession's newest marketers. Keep it up! Nice post here Melanie! What you say about the training is so true.

I am now re-entering the MLM industry and feel that I am positioned perfectly in key areas that is more relevant now than ever before. Products are the best, but the payplan is even better. And let's be honest. With a good customer group you can make a sweet income, but with a team of people with a good customer group, you can make a juicy income. It is during this time that people are looking for the income. Blessings, Marjorie The Right Mentor Great article Melanie!

Having been involved with Amway in the early '90's (but no longer) I know the value of training, or lack thereof. Sure they have great products, and a good comp plan but the only training I got was hit on everyone in arms reach, no means yes and go go go,rah rah. Your approach is much better, do-able and even better teachable.

In a recession as severe and long term as this one, if you cannot offer true value and savings whereby prospects will purchase even without any income opporunity, then you know you hit the Motherlode of opportunities. I specialize in recession proof businesses, so I will check yours out, thanks again, very nice post and I wish you continued success. Success to all, Mike Greetings Melanie,

Having stayed away from the MLM arena for the last 10 years, I was hesitant about the latest one, until I started to use the criteria you mention here... and it all fits.
