Okay, let me set you at ease… my mlm business may not be the best opportunity for you, but it is the best mlm opportunity for me! The best mlm business opportunity is likely the one you’re currently in, if it meets a few simple requirements.
Let me explain.
First, I firmly believe in Yarnell’s law: “Do one thing at a time, do it right, finish it“. If you’ve not listened to any of the holy grail of networking series, I highly recommend it. Yarnell has a unique, cut to the chase style (BTW, I don’t get any form of compensation for recommending his work.) What this basically says, if you want to make big money in MLM or network marketing, you need to focus on ONE opportunity, learn how to build it, and do so until you’ve reached your goal.
If you are in a legitimate network marketing business right now, and if they have good products that you believe in and personally use, and the owners are good upstanding folk who keep to their word, and don’t mess with the compensation plan, and pay their distributors on time, you’re probably where you need to be. If anyone in your company has the success that you ultimately desire, then realize that if they can do it, so can you!
Now, unfortunately, from time to time, what was a good company, turns into a bad business. If the owners start messing with the comp plan, that’s a sure fire signal it’s time to start doing some research. If the products start shipping late, that might be a signal. Or if the commission checks are delayed, you may want to start your due diligence.
When the time does come to start looking for a new opportunity, be sure to spend the time to find a company, a product, and a team that build a business the way you want to build. For me, one of the key criteria was having a state of the art online prospecting system… I talk about the key elements that I looked for in an online prospecting system in another post, but in a nutshell, here are the key elements to look for.
- a compelling video series, as well as excellent sales text (some people prefer to read rather than watch videos) to present the complete story of your business
- a built in autoresponder to keep in contact with your prospects, customers and distributors,
- a modern contact manager with instant contact email capability to send one off emails, and all activities the prospect does on the system should have tracking.
- 100% trackability. In today’s world, there’s no reason not to know what the prospect has seen or done on your website, so that you can spend your time with the right people.
- integrated system training video so everyone get the exact same information
- weekly live opportunity webinars, tracked of course, to help close your prospects
- weekly live advanced team training.
Well there you have it. The best mlm business opportunity for me is the one with the best online prospecting system that works. This makes building a business from home fun, profitable and rewarding! Think about it.
