Multi-level marketing (MLM) is a marketing strategy in which the sales force is compensated not only for sales they personally generate, but also for the sales of the other salespeople that they recruit.
This strategy involves development of sales, business, teaching and leadership skills. One also should learn how to utilize the power of the Internet to secure the long term success. 7 tips of how to build a successful mlm business are listed below:
1. The first tip is often neglected, but it is very important since it will motivate you to keep learning and working on your business. You need to determine WHY do you want to build your business. Where are you going to be in five years if you continue to do what you are doing now? Will you have a lifestyle of your dreams?
2. It is essential to choose the right company
There are thousands of network marketing companies that start-up each year, but less than 10% of these companies remain in business after one year. What does it mean for me and you? Well, maybe after very hard work for many months and achieving great success, the company will not longer be in business and will stop paying you the promised "residual income". How can you avoid it?
2.1. The company that you choose should be financially stable
The company needs to be at least close to 2 years in business and the best company would be the one that is debt free.
2.2. Unique consumable product, preferably patented, that most people need and like.
This type of product can be easily sold to the end consumer and it will allow you to build a network of consumers very fast. The drop out rate will be very low thus you can build your business really fast.
2.3. Timing
There are four stages of growth of any business: formulation, concentration, momentum and stability. Richard Poe in his book entitled "Wave 3: The New Era in Network Marketing" wrote "...the phase with the most rapid growth is the momentum phase, which occurs after the company has exceeded $50 million in annual sales. This is the moment when exponential growth kicks in, when fortunes can be made... by these lucky few who got into the company before it went into momentum". This means that companies that are well established, like Amway, are already in saturation, thus it is difficult to make a significant income.
3. Compensation plan
It is difficult to evaluate the compensation plan for a new person. Start from determining the amount of money you would like to make a month and then ask what you need to do to earn it. Make a feasible plan to achieve your goal and ask your sponsor to mentor you and help you to build your organization. Make sure that the company is not promising to pay over 100%, because then they will not be in business too long. Very few companies can afford to pay over 60% of their revenue.
4. Training
Training of new distributors is essential and it can be divided into 3 different parts:
4.1. Working with a warm market locally and long distance. It is necessary to have a successful and duplicatable system that everybody can follow.
4.2. Approaching cold market. This is much more difficult than working with a warm market. It has to be approached with knowledge and patience.
4.3. Implementation of the Internet marketing strategies. This is the highest level of network marketing strategy and it takes time to develop it, but it leads to the most lucrative and stable business.
