Has There Been Cases Won or Lost on the Topic of Social Media and Distributor Raiding?

There have been legal rulings both ways on this subject. Some companies have argued that when distributors communicate their intentions to leave a company and begin with a new one on Facebook then they are targeting. Others have argued the opposite point of view. At some point there will be a resolution to this debate at the appellate case level. At this point, most companies would ask that people not promote to people on their Facebook page who’ve been in their downline; however, many distributors would disagree arguing that their Facebook friends are not the friends of the company.

In other cases, consultants want to be “friends” with top leaders and company executives on Facebook in order to stay in the loop and then find themselves in a conflicting position when they want to leave to another company. A deciding factor is yet to be made on this point.

Who Should be the First Key Employee that a Company Should Hire?

Who should be the first key hire for a MLM company? This is a question often asked by company owners. And, usually companies are started by one or two individuals. In a way, you are your own first key hire, but you are not really hiring yourselves. You are sweat equity. When you have sufficient funds to go out and hire, the question is, “should we hire somebody to run operations?” If you have recruitment capabilities, then an operations individual may be your first hire. However, frequently recruitment capabilities are limited. Therefore, it is more likely you may hire a VP of Marketing, because recruitment and retention is the driving force behind your business, and you may be somewhat capable of pushing through on initial operations. So, if things are going slow and you do have the capital, the first key hire will probably be somebody with substantial experience in the network marketing industry, such as a VP of Marketing in another direct selling company or a highly-successful distributor, somebody that works well with people. That person will probably be your first key hire with the next hire being an operations officer. Obviously, if you have sufficient funding, hire both simultaneously.
