We don’t plan on doing too many posts on this blog promoting the Pro Network Marketing business opportunity, which can be found in the pages section, but we would like to clarify some things and answer some frequently asked questions about our opportunity in this post.
First off, the question we probably receive the most often is “What’s the catch? It can’t be that simple.” Well, quite frankly, it is that simple. Shop online for products you need, we’ll build your down-line for you, you make money, we make money, everyone makes money. It’s a win-win for everyone involved.
If there is a catch, it’s that you do actually have to spend some money, first to register and then to buy products each month, but you have 6 full months to get a refund on not only your registration fee, but also on any product purchases. This should be looked at as an investment, but at the same time you will be getting some quality products, which you can use yourself, give away, or sell. We encourage that you sell products if possible, but it’s certainly not mandatory. This brings us to our next point.
People often tell us this opportunity looks great and all, but isn’t it a buying club, or investment scheme, or (gasp) pyramid? Our answer to those three questions is yes, sort of, and yeah pretty much. Let us explain why this is not a bad thing. First of all, this is not a buying club in the sense that you join to save money on products, because to be honest, our products are competitively priced in some cases and high-priced in others. But 95% of the people we talk to love the products and think they are much better than comparable items you’d find in stores.
This is a buying club in the sense that you are buying products and sponsoring other people to buy products so that you can earn a percentage of the point volume that they generate from their purchases. The more people under you buying products, the more money you make.
Secondly, this is not an investment “scheme,” because that implies that it’s a shady scam to take money from people, like a chain letter, and it’s most definitely not. But you are investing money into signing up with the company and into monthly product purchases, and you are gaining a return on that investment when other people that do the same are placed underneath you in your down-line. So it is an investment “plan,” not a scheme.
Thirdly, many might wonder how a so-called pyramid could be profitable for everyone involved, and more importantly, how it could even be legal. We are protected by the company’s rules and 50 years of business tradition that says you really don’t have to sell, and it’s okay to build continuous depth rather than width in a down-line. But how can this be a good money-making system for distributors?
Well, it’s wildly profitable for anyone who signs up as long as the down-line never stops growing, meaning, as long as new people never stop coming into the program. The more people we sponsor for you who are buying products and therefore generating points, the more money you make, because you get credit for the points they do. There is no reason this should ever stop. New people come to our site everyday, more and more people use the Internet and shop online every day, more people turn 18 every day (the legal age to register in this opportunity) and the world’s population continues to grow. There will never be a lack of people to join this opportunity, and we will never reach that mythical “market-saturation” because of the reasons stated above.
What if it were to stop though? As realists, we know that anything can happen and maybe 5 or 10 or maybe even 15 years from now, everything could dry up and people stop signing up in droves, or at all. If this were to happen, which is not very likely, the bottom few levels of the organization would not make any profits and would be stuck buying products for a few months without getting any return on investment (ROI).
Of course, they would realize this and before the end of six months they’d get a full refund on their registration fee and any products they didn’t want. If they were not aware of what was happening, we would tell them, rather than try to make a few more hundred dollars off the backs of innocent people while our company went down the tubes. But we don’t see it ever getting to that point anyway.
So we hope this has answered some questions and clarified the Pro Network Marketing opportunity for you. There’s a reason this is not your average network marketing opportunity. Make a small investment, leave the work to us, and benefit financially for the rest of your life. Contact us here if you wish to do so.
If you are wondering how to select the best network marketing company for you, you are not alone. Rushing into an affiliation with a marketing company can lead to a number of troubles. As such, it is important to carefully weigh a number of factors when contemplating how to select the best network marketing company.
So, let’s look at a few of these factors…
The size, scope and experience of the company are important. A major company that has achieved a massive presence in the industry is often a safe bet. After all, if these huge companies were not delivering results they would not be in business.
Companies that have a dependable module for success are always a plus. That is, if a company has refined a brilliant strategy by way of refining its sales methodology, like online stacking, then the odds of being successful aligning with them increases. Basically, such a company knows what it is doing and you would be plugged into this workable strategy. Clearly, this would be far more optimal than stumbling through a trial and error approach.
Also, any company that is closely modeled to the successful philosophy of the “big dogs” in the industry may be a solid company as well. Since the smaller company is following a successful paradigm it will be less likely to falter whereas a company promoting unproven strategies might.
On a side note, companies that are too heavily associated with motivational organizations should be avoided. Part of the reason for this is that motivational concepts often center on “feeling good” vs. arriving at a desired result. While it is important to have the right mindset when it comes to sales, motivational psycho-babble will be worth very little when financial losses start to add up.
And the cost of this so-called business training scams many people out of hundreds of dollars per month while crippling their ability to actually succeed in network marketing. So stick with empirical facts and avoid feel good sentiments of little substance.
So what has made network marketing companies adapt so well to changing times and environments? There are a number of reasons, but the decision to stay ahead of the game technologically has made many network marketing companies quite successful. This is quite staggering, considering that network marketing has been around for 50+ years.
Far too often, many companies are unable to adapt to changing technological environments. Consider the age old video rental store for example. The mere addition of the ability to rent DVDs via the mail has crippled a number of billion dollar companies. Yet, in the realm of network marketing, despite facing a massive onslaught of online sellers of all walks of life, the network marketing industry has gotten stronger and more lucrative!
Part of the reason for this is that network marketing companies attract “hungry” people. That is, the strength of network marketing companies is those salesman who are driven to succeed. They are not only willing to put in the man hours required for success, they are also willing to invest the time required to learn about changing competitive landscapes.
This is why the transition to online network marketing opportunities provided a boom to the industry as opposed to harming it. After all, the Internet and all its communicative methods open up a significantly easier means in which to sign up affiliates. Additionally, online marketing ventures can aid in selling the products as well. This is a much better way of doing things than the old 1960′s method of knocking door to door!
Of course, there are those network marketing companies that were slow on the proverbial draw to embrace the expansion of the internet. These companies have suffered the obvious consequences as a result. But those network marketing companies that realized the potential of the new media were also quick to exploit it. They are reaping the rewards of a successful new business model as a result.
