How to Know If Network Marketing Companies Are Lying to You

There are also a lot of pyramid and ponzi schemes trying to recruit victims. Here are a couple of tips to help you pick up discrepancies and red flags when applying for companies:Quick, Easy MoneyIt's one of the oldest tricks in the book - and it still works to fool a lot of people. The money is quick and easy once you are comfortably at the top. Even then you will still need to keep a close eye on things to prevent your business from collapsing. If you are new to the business, however, you will have to spend months years building up your organization from the ground up. This means that you have to spend a significant amount of time and energy before the money starts to roll in.Excessive Focus on RecruitingThere is a difference between direct marketing and network marketing - and that's in building an organization. The potential to make big money with network marketing starts by recruiting and then training your leads. You get a percentage from their profits and this means that you have to make sure your recruits are making successful sales. This means that a company with vague training programs is more interested in saddling you with useless products rather than encouraging you to actually sell something.Overly Aggressive RecruitingLegitimate network marketing needs to build strong sales over time, and this means that it takes time for their products to gain sales. If a company is very aggressive in pressuring you to join, you may want to take a step back and assess the situation. Pyramid or ponzi schemes eventually become unsustainable, and this is the main reason why they rush to milk cash from unwitting recruits before the system starts to break down. This is why you have to avoid signing up and paying money right away. Take some time to assess how you can sell a product and work from there.If you notice any of these signs - quick, easy money, excessive focus on recruiting and overly aggressive recruiting - then you might want to look for business opportunities with other network marketing companies. It's better to be safe than sorry.

To help you make sure that you do not become a victim of scam, read on and find out what you should be cautious about.1.Know what you are getting yourself into - Make sure that the company is indeed offering you a job and not just making you buy products or even training materials. Spend time in checking the background of the business.2. Do not believe any promise of instant wealth - No job can make you rich overnight. You have to toil and work hard to reap the benefits you want to have. When a company promises to make you wealthy in days' or weeks' time, don't believe it. Chances are it is getting you into a filthy scam.3.Verify the sources of business mails - There are a lot of fraudulent emails that may get into your inbox when you embark on the search for ways on how to make money online at home in Ireland. Frauds find this a great opportunity for them to extort money from people.4.

doTERRA - Is it a Solid Company to Join?

Is doTERRA a solid company to join? Well, I've been in direct sales and network marketing for over 11 years and have NEVER seen 2000% growth in any company I've reviewed in all those years. And yes, I meant two thousand not two hundred. So why is doTERRA climbing leaps and bounds above the other network marketing companies? Here are my thoughts...1. They have a wellness category that not many have done. It is 100% Certified Pure Therapeutic Essential Oils. That means that here is NOTHING added. There are no herbicides or pesticides in their oils either. These aren't products you get from the store, they are certified pure. Many people don't know the difference and there is a BIG difference in potency. You never want perfumes or added oils in your essential oils.2. It is 2 years old with 2000% growth and it primed to skyrocket in the next 3 years if you get in and work it.3. It has 3 top leaders who have ran NuSkin, and Young Living as part of their past resume so global expansion and product development are happening now.4. You can green your home from many harmful chemicals by showing & using naturally safe things like white vinegar, water & essential citrus oil for cleaning.5. AromaTouch Technique is taught by doTERRA and has had an amazing affect on my family. I highly recommend it!So in my opinion this company is positioned for greatness in the coming months & years. I think it is a solid company with great products.Susansusancrivac@comcast.net

Are You Afraid Enough?

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. - Anais Nin (1903-1977) WriterWhat motivates us to change? Dissatisfaction? Maybe. Extreme fear? Maybe. Most likely, however the motivation is that we are so uncomfortable or so afraid in our current situation, that we will do anything, including change.Change is difficult for almost all of us and sometimes it takes a lot to convince us that something should change. When we are looking at a business opportunity in multilevel marketing, particularly if we are thinking this could be our new full-time job, what makes us decide to take the chance? How uncomfortable would you have to be to make a change? Maybe you have already started in a new business, things are not going well, and you know you need to change. How bad would things have to be before you decided to change?Maybe you have put off participating in the training opportunities that might be available to you through your company. How many calls do you have to mess up before you get tired of messing up calls? How much money do you want to spend before you start really making money? How bad to things really have to get before you are willing to change? Wouldn't participating in the training be a lot less painful than making all the mistakes?Maybe you don't want to pick up the phone. How much does your business have to falter before you get up the courage to actually pick up the phone and make a call? How dissatisfied are you with the way things are going? Maybe now is the time to make your move. Picking up the phone might be less painful that the stress you are going through thinking about it.Why would you want to wait until things got so painful that you feel like you have no other choice? If you have waited that long, why not ease your pain and do what you need to do? Making the changes and doing what you need to do can't be any more painful that what you are putting yourself through right now.The business is there to make your life better. You started in the business to help you achieve some goal that you set when you first started in the business. Use your fear to make the changes you need to make and enjoy the success you are looking to achieve.Copyright (c) 2010 Soaring Eagle Companies LLC

Increasing Profits For Physicians and Their Practices Can Be Easy Through Network Marketing

It is no secret that the financial health of America's physicians is in a state of turmoil. Pending Medicare cuts, increased insurance premiums, missed office visits, and a multitude of other factors have severely affected the average physician's ability to generate enough revenue to support their own operation, much less their own personal life. It is estimated that shortfalls in revenue will force more than a quarter of physicians out of their profession by the year 2015. What's worse is that, by 2015, many of that physician's retirement plans may not have even recovered from the country's latest, almost devastating recession!Where does this put you - the physician whose practice is not making what it once was? Or the physician wondering how their retirement might look...be it in 2015 or even 20 years into the future? Perhaps you are the physician just looking for a way to subsidize their personal income or even diversify their revenue streams?Ironically, a viable answer to these common scenarios may lie in the implementation of a business model that has been around for over 50 years, but has typically been overlooked by the medical community. That business model is Network Marketing. To be more specific, we are referring to Network Marketing of Natural Health Products.Network Marketing, otherwise known as Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) or Relationship Marketing, is often misdiagnosed by the uninformed as some kind of business scam or unattainable get-rich-quick scheme. This thinking is the reason that many potentially great people simply miss the boat on creating additional income for themselves. When implemented correctly and ethically, and given the proper support, the business model is as successful, if not infinitely more successful than any other business practice that exists today.As a physician, we can recommend investigating Network Marketing opportunities that deal with natural health products for three very significant reasons:1) The products of these companies are in line with your profession and can supply you with a way to offer helpful and healthy recommendations to your patients, especially in the area of preventative health care.2) Your position as a physician makes you a "center of influence" in the community. Medical centers of influence, because of their inherent clinical credibility, stand to have the greatest success when recommending health related products.3) The nature of Network Marketing offers a way to generate significant income without the typical time commitment of a traditional career. This is commonly referred to as "time leveraging" - perhaps one of the most important factors to a physician given their already packed schedules.You next question may be: "Which company should I investigate?" Our best answer to that question would be to be open-minded and investigate several to find a company whose products closely match your specialization in healthcare. Try different products for yourself to see what you like and don't like. A quality company will have a way for a representative to offer some sort of product sampling, much like many of the pharmaceutical companies you deal with on a daily basis. Another bit of advice when evaluating companies is to find one in an early stage of growth with a strong, professional team ready to help your efforts. If you will be recommending products to your colleagues and patients, you are going to want team members in an organization who you can be proud to associate yourself with.Look for further articles on what to look for in quality Natural Health Products-based Network Marketing Company. This method of generating revenue for yourself and your practice may be unconventional to some, but then again, what has "being conventional" done for your practice's bottom line lately? It may be just the time to do some things different! Good luck!

Understanding MLM Binary Compensation Plans

The binary compensation plan model is very popular in MLM. I was told by a very successful person in my former company that their plan was the best one out there. I had stars in my eyes at the time because she was so successful, so I believed her. Now I know the truth!For the purposes of this article, I am only covering team volume commissions because that is the only true residual income. Start-up money is only earned when new people are sponsored. Bonus pools are only earned by a few people at the top and vary over time. Matching check bonuses are only earned by a small percentage of the distributors.With a binary plan, you build 2 teams or "legs." While your sponsor might place some people on one of your teams, in most (if not all) companies you are required to personally sponsor at least one person on each team. So let's say you put Mary on the left and Suzy on the right.In order to earn commissions, you must have a certain minimum amount of sales volume on each side. You are actually paid based on the volume on the weak side. Some companies will hold over unused volume for the next pay cycle, but the reality is that there will always be some volume you are not paid for. So if your right team is the strong team, you never get paid on what Suzy brings in even though you sponsored her. The only exception might be a matching check bonus if you achieve a particular level, but in reality very few people ever reach, or can maintain, that level.Normally, your upline will help you build one leg for a time. They never bother to mention however that this will not last forever. If your sponsor is very successful, they will put lots of volume on one side and it will always be your strong side, and you will not be paid on that volume. Eventually, either they will quit or they will max out the team you are on and will start building another team. They will stop putting people on your team because it doesn't pay them to do so.Once your sponsor stops helping you (or if they never do to begin with, which does happen), you will eventually need to start putting people on both sides to "balance" the legs so you keep earning money. Every person you put on the strong side is someone you are not likely to get paid on.Now, your sponsor and the company will never explain it this way. They will tell you that you are earning 5 or 6% on everyone. In truth, you never get paid on all volume from both teams because there is always some "left over" volume in each pay period. There will always be not enough on one side to earn another "cycle" and your strong side will be way, way ahead of your weak side if your sponsor is very good at signing people up.There are compensation plans in existence that DO pay higher than 6% on ALL volume, with no balancing between legs required. The best way to illustrate, is to ask the "$10K question." This means we crunch the numbers and find out how many people you need on your team to earn $10,000 per month on team volume.In every binary plan I have seen, this number comes out to be around 1,700 (or more) people needed on your team. The company will never come out and admit this, but if you do the math you'll see it is true. Some compensation plans require as many as 27,000 people! But some plans only require 400 people total on your team (not just those you personally sponsor) to earn $10K.Do you really want to work 4 times as hard as you need to?One last tip: if you cannot even imagine yourself earning $10K per month, you can always do your comparison based on $5K or $2K or whatever number sounds reasonable. But if you can't imagine earning $10K per month or even more, I suggest you read "Secrets of a Millionaire Mind" by T. Harv Eker to figure out what your limiting beliefs are, and then read "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill and follow the steps to your dream life!

If Communication is Key, Why Are You Doing it Wrong?

I have studied a lot of systems over the past two years and nothing compares to what Tim Sales has put together.First of all I want to make sure that you understand the most important part of building a successful network marketing business, is that you need to know how to communicate with your prospects. When I mean prospects that means everyone you want to introduce your product and/or business opportunity to.Most people will start with their warm list of family and friends and if they do not communicate correctly, your own family and friends won't give you the time of day. I have learned this the hard way and I don't want the same thing to happen to you. So below is the order in which you should start your Network Marketing business. The Inviting Formula:Step 1. Greet: Get your prospects to talk freely and openly to you. The key here is to make the prospect comfortable talking to you and willing to telling you what they most want and need from the business. This comfort level will naturally lead you to the next step.Step 2. Qualify: Find out what the prospect needs or wants as it pertains to your business. You must legitimately want your prospects to succeed if you are to be successful in this business. Part of this process is to truly understand and appreciate why the prospect wants to be in the business in the first place. Take the time to ask questions and find out what their motivations are, and the rest of the Inviting Formula will go much more smoothly.Step 3. Invite: Invite your prospect to look at some educational material that will help them get what they need or want. Education will help you overcome huge hurdles when inviting your prospects. It doesn't all have to come from you, either. Using experience within your organization and/or unbiased industry information to help educate your prospects will not only make them more comfortable with how the business works, but will also help you overcome any objections they may have.Step 4. Handle Any Questions or Objections: Help your prospects past what is stopping them from getting what they need or want. Objections are the biggest hurdles to overcome when guiding a new prospect into the business. Be ready to answer questions to educate your prospect and you will find that objections are pretty easy to overcome, especially when you know what likely objections they will have.Step 5. Close to Action: End the conversation by confirming the next time the two of you will talk and what each person is to do prior to that conversation. Assume a leadership role here and stay in charge of the process. Don't count on the prospect to be proactive, since they are new and don't have the understanding that you have. By giving them action steps to follow and having them make small commitments, you will effectively guide them into a more independent and active role in the business.Step 6. Follow Up or Follow Through: Help your prospect get what they've said they need or want by moving them closer to getting it. Once a prospect has expressed interest in your business, they will be relying on you for information and guidance. So make sure you do whatever it takes to help this person achieve their goals, and show interest in their success during the early phase of their involvement in the business. In short, be a leader that you'd want to follow and look up to if you were in the prospect's shoes.After you learn how to communicate the rest is easy and becomes natural, don't make it difficult and frustrating when prospects keep telling you no.
