Do you need help choosing an MLM opportunity?  So many people get recruited directly into one company by one of their friends that they don’t get the chance to choose.  Often these people did not know of the existence of MLM or Network Marketing as it is sometimes called.  However, if you do need help choosing an MLM opportunity, you need to do some ‘due diligence’ on the companies you are interested in, as well as some soul searching before you can find the right opportunity for you.

Many people say that the company does not matter, but it really does on so many levels.

1.  Do you love the products?  Would you happily sell them to your Granny?  Because if you would not, will you be able to happily sell them?  You need to have complete confidence in them, otherwise people will be able to see right through you.  Ask yourself this; would you want to use these products even if you were not in the company?

2.  What is the market like with regards to these products?  If, for instance, it is the latest super juice, have you considered market saturation?  There are just so many companies out there right now, selling the latest antioxidant super juice that I for one, even though I have sold a juice in the past and loved it, would not want to be involved in one nowadays. (And yes, I still drink it!)  Nowadays I would rather go for a product with a wide open, untapped market, something which is a powerful, current, and on trend.

3.  Low start up costs are very important.  So many people just cannot afford to invest a very large sum of money in something about which they know very little, especially in a recession.  Apart from anything else, low start-up costs are one of the best things about an MLM opportunity.  It makes it affordable to start your own business.  Many people could not afford to get involved in their own business, so MLM is accessible to many more people.

4.  Retention rate is very important in choosing an MLM opportunity.  If the retention rate is low it will affect your residual income.  The problem is that retention rates in MLM are very rarely high.  How much better would it be to know that the majority of people you put into your business would stay there, year in, year out?  If a company has a low retention rate, you can expect to have to find lots more distributors in order to get paid the same amount as you would in another company with a better retention rate!

5.  Your compensation plan is very important.  There are so many different compensation plans out there today, it is difficult to know what it best; unilevel, binary, matrix?  All you can do is find out what the company that you are interested in has and then do some research on it.  Unless you know alot about many different compensationn plans, you will mainly need to use your common sense.  If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

6.  Check out the management of the company.  Are they well-known and liked?  Do they have a proven track record in business, either in MLM or direct sales?  Make sure you also do some research on the company.  Find out how long it has been operating; many MLM companies go under in their first year.  Check out the growth it has had, what assets it owns and if it is well thought of.

7.  Lastly check out MLM Watchdog.com for lots of information on MLM’s to help you in choosing an MLM.

I hope this will help you if you need help choosing an MLM opportunity.  There are some great companies out there, one of them will be right for you.  And if you have not been in an MLM before, welcome to this wonderful industry!
