The Multi-Level Business, A Primer

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Sales and marketing have really evolved
through the years, perhaps as more economic
crunches and recessions continue to plague
every nation.

Selling commodities has always been a tough
task. That is why innovative and skillful
managers have been striving to overhaul the
traditional sales process so figures and
profits could continue to buoy up, despite
prevailing economic situations.

In the 1980s, the marketing industry was
shocked to find several players handed to
their members the tedious task of
distributing products. Commission payments
were handed as baits to the dollar-hungry
sales team.

From that, the notion of the multi-level
business transactions came up. As managers
and sales people strived to keep sales
figures up, they had adopted different
strategies to keep up. Apparently, the multi-
level business scheme was the most
significant.

From then on, multi-level types of business
transactions have been sprouting left and
right, surprisingly, not just in the US, but
also in other countries, even the third-world
nations.

Multi-level businesses

Multi-level business transactions are actual
combination of franchising and direct
marketing. Direct marketing in the sense that
the company would directly distribute
products to members.

The members would then open franchises for
redistribution. In the event, other sales
people are recruited to sell the products.
Thus the setup goes like this: the company
directly sells the products to sales team.
The sales team then recruits people and sell
the products to them.

The recruits would then recruit more people
who would agree to sell the products. The
recruitment process goes on, and down the
line, the products’ prices bloat, making the
product extra expensive.

In the end, economists would profoundly
assert that people on the bottom of the
somehow pyramid scheme would gain very little
benefits compared to the earnings generated
by the company.

Persuasion

The name of the game on multi-level business
transactions is persuasion. Certainly, people
would not be recruited to join the sales
network if the sales personnel who recruited
them were never convincing enough to lure
them.

The promises of financial gains and
commissions surely would lure people to get
into even the strangest of business
transactions.

Doing a multi-level business is never an easy
task. But companies succeed in doing so.
These companies do not practically care about
how businesses go down the line of the
network, as long as the top reaps most of the
benefits.

Legitimacy

In the United States alone, multi-level
businesses are legal operations. As such,
companies and sales managers doing so have
all the legal vests to recruit and convince
people to get into the network.

However, there are several scrupulous
scammers who take advantage of the situation.
The setback would be that people could hardly
recognize between the legal and the illegal
pyramid networking schemes.

Current legislation would certainly not do
anything against multi-level businesses
because technically, they are legal
businesses, which generate revenues the legal
way.

Despite a rising number of complaints against
multi-level businesses, more and more
companies start up and adopt the scheme.

Many people have fallen as victims to the
anomalous transactions. But still, there are
people who continue to participate. As long
as there are people who testify to have
reaped profits, there would be people who
would aim to parallel these greats fortunes.

Thus, there is truth to the saying ‘Money
matters’.

When Is It Time To Fire Your Company

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

If you were here in Washington DC and you
looked out the window you’d think it was a
beautiful day. The sun is shinning and there
ain’t that many clouds in the sky, but as
soon as you opened the door you’d be hit with
reality.

About 37 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind strong
enough to knock you off your feet bringing
the actual temperature down another 10
degrees.

It’s kinda like when you get into your first
business - from all appearances things look
beautiful.

The company is right, you feel great, and
you’re energized about the new adventure and
potential wealth on the horizon.

Just like opening the door to a swift wind
and freezing temperatures, when you take your
first step to building your business, you find
out the weather isn’t as nice as it looks.

You spend more money than you thought, you
feel like your wasting your time at times,
you’re getting your first tastes of cold hard
rejection.

Not until you step out into the cold do you
really find out what you’re made of. Will you
stick it out until warmer weather? Only time
will tell.

But today, I want to talk to you about a
question that rarely get’s address in our
industry.

Although people jump from business to
business without forethought, thinking
the grass is going to be greener, only to find
themselves with the same problems they had in
their last opportunity - no one dares to
talks about these things out in the open.

One thing I’ll always say . . . Stick with
one company. Focus your efforts and you’ll
see the best results. None of this “I’m in
three programs because I don’t want all
my eggs in one basket” stuff.

Focused effort is what wins the race in the
end, but truth be told there are legitimate
reasons to fire your company.

Just a few days ago I was talking to an old
time network marketing friend and that person
was discussing their decision to change
businesses and the reasons were valid.

You see, this person had recruited in the
triple digits in their company over the
course of a few years, yet the check just
wasn’t growing.

As a business person, there always will come a
point in when you have to face reality. I
know I know your sponsor and the company
line is “Just stay the course”, but when
you’re a proven commodity and your business
isn’t feeding you the way it should it may
be time to make a move.

And the first move, I suggest, isn’t jumping
into another company.

NO!

It’s time to stop, and build a foundation
around your business first. What I mean is, if
you’ve put years into growing a downline and
it’s just not producing the way you feel is
right for your level of experience and hard
proven results don’t just jump into another
business where the grass looks greener.

Stop and think about the time it took you to
grow the downline that wouldn’t grow? Why set
out and risk doing it again? Build around
you. Make your relationship with your
prospects larger than just putting them into
a company and you’ll find THE real long term
stability and growth in your business.

We talk about residual income in network
marketing as being putting people in the
downline, but the real residual income is in
you breathing life into others dreams.

See this way . . .

It’s you that’s always in the drivers seat.

Anxiety about what will or will not happen in
one company or another, along with all those
worries about will my downline stick around,
fade away.

It’s cold out there in the network marketing
world for the new blood, but if you build
around you you couldn’t buy a better
insulating jacket to shelter your future.

To the top,
