10 Key Benefits Why MLM Programs Are Great Businesses by Wil
Chirinos
There is an important lesson to be learned from traditional business that can
be applied to Network Marketing.
I'd like to discuss 10 key benefits why MLM programs are great businesses. Use
these benefits to promote your MLM Program and to recruit anyone in your
organization.
1. Small amount of risk: There is a certain amount of inherited risk involved
when you become an entrepreneur.
We are confronted with losing money, wasting time, not being in profit right
away, etc. In a traditional brick and mortal business, the startup cost
associated with opening that business is what holds many people back from
becoming the creators of their own destiny.
People do not like risk and try to avoid it by all means. We'd like a
"guaranteed bet" and stay within "our safe zone". In business, you don't
eliminate risks you learn to minimize them.
The advantage of starting an MLM Program is that there is a small risk to get
started. With a couple of hundred dollars, it is possible to get started with a
company of your choice, marketing products that you consume already. The amount
of financial commitment is insignificant compared to that of traditional
business.
2. A huge demand for good quality products: There are a myriad of network
marketing companies that promote very good products. If I were considering a
company to get involved with, I would always ask myself:
* Would I still consume these products/services if there were no opportunity to
market them? * Do these products bring any benefits to a consumer besides the
opportunity to make money?
* Would I bring "value" to my customers if they consume these products?
Every business needs repeat customers. Distributors only get paid when they
have consumers for their products and when these customers continue that
consumption, then that creates the money flow.
3. Residual income: I am sure that you pay your gas, your electricity, and your
phone bill every single month. These are the types of services that for the
most part provide an ongoing stream of residual income for these companies.
The greatest advantage of an MLM Program is that it gives you an opportunity to
enjoy residual income just like those companies do.
When the initial effort of getting a new customer is completed, you can enjoy
the residual part of that business relationship.
We are so used to trading our time for wedges that we often times don't see the
potential residual income of an MLM Affiliate Program. By direct selling your
products, you can also claim your share of the residual income pie.
4. The income potential: There is no cap on how much money you can generate. In
my corporate jobs, my big limitation was that regardless how hard I worked for
these companies; my income was tied to a "market standard" for someone with my
skills.
In an MLM Program, that's not the case. It is up to you to decide how much you
want to earn. An MLM company doesn't hold you back in the same way the
corporate environment does.
As long as you have the skills set of a trained network marketer, you make
whatever income based on your stamina, dedication, and your willingness to help
others.
The skills set is key. Once you trained yourself to become a marketer, you can
market anything you choose and generate that income you seek.
5. No employees to hire: By far, this is a clear advantage over traditional
businesses. An mlm affiliate program is a business of people independently
working together.
Without any employees, it's possible to build a business right from home. This
industry gives you that added benefit, be in business without employees
concerns, by having a network of independent business owners working together
towards a common goal.
6. No inventory: Traditionally Network Marketing companies would have
distributors stack up on inventory. This concept alone has given the industry a
bad wrap for years.
However, modern companies do capitalize on the technology and tools we have in
place. We have:
Internet Telephony The Internet Drop Shipping Ability Consumer Leads
Conference Lines Web Conference High Speed Internet Access
Not having to inventory products will make your business more agile to any
market condition.
7. Low operating Costs: The network marketing model makes possible to run a
business at low costs compared to any other business model.
This is where your upline's support should come in. A good upline mentor should
allow you to piggyback on his expertise, on his knowledge, on his leads, and
help you generate the funds to pay off your initial investment and get in
profit early in the life of your business.
8. Leverage: Your MLM Program is a:
people business business of appointments business of helping consumers
find what they have the need for business of helping others create
businesses.
You reap the rewards by leveraging the efforts of those you help. This develops
a collective mindset that promotes "win-win" relationships.
9. Portability: With the advent of technology, we can do today what
distributors 15 years ago could not do and that's to make our business
portable.
We now have a phone technology that allows you to take your telephone and move
it anywhere you like transparently to your customers.
As long as you have access to the Internet via DSL or Cable, you can take your
computer, your phone, and continue doing business while you are on the road, on
vacation, or visiting relatives whether that be in another city or another
country!
10. The attainable freedom: Imagine having a productive business in network
marketing providing you with a lifestyle that only the rich and famous enjoy.
When all the pieces are in place, the life of a marketer can be very fulfilling
indeed.
That's the dream every new distributor chases and it is only attainable when
there is a clear understanding of how to get there and when your marketing
skills are sharp.
It is not just the money, but the fulfillment of a lifestyle that makes an MLM
Affiliate Program the best business to get in and your skills is what make it
happen, period!
