6 Questions to Ask Yourself before Joining a MLM Company

Posted on August 1, 2017 by Charity

Many people look to make a little extra income to take home to their families. There are several ways to do that but one of the most common is through direct selling or work from home opportunities.Do your research, compare each company apples to apples, or apples to pears.

There are so many MLM, network marketing companies in operation. How do you know which one is a good fit for you? Have you thought about what type of product you’d like to sell? Or the compensation plan that would work best for you? Do you have a sponsor that will support you in growing your home-based business?

As you are researching your options, keep the following six questions in mind before you choose to sign up with a direct selling company.  

  1. Does the direct selling company have a valid product or service that you believe in—that you are passionate about selling?
  2. Does the company management have proven experience in network marketing?
  3. Does the compensation plan provide retail profit to the distributor and pay bonuses for developing a downline organization?
  4. Does the MLM company offer top quality promotional and support materials?
  5. Does the network marketing company offer ongoing field training and support available throughout the country?
  6. Do you have a sponsor that is willing to work with you and help you in your efforts?

These questions are all imperative to the success of your distributorship business. Weigh your options carefully. Network with other distributors about the companies in which they’ve had success. Do your research, compare each company apples to apples, or apples to pears. Make sure that you choose a company that you are not only passionate about, but that is also supportive of its distributors.
