Online network marketing has evolved to the point where it’s a viable option for a full-time career or at least a significant part-time income for millions of people. Based on the current economic conditions, the increased credibility of the direct sales industry in recent years and the amount of people wanting to start their own low-cost, low-risk small business, network marketing is poised to grow by leaps and bounds in 2012. This will benefit many network marketing companies, and you’d be wise to start your own network marketing business by the beginning of January to get ahead of the curve. But this begs the question, which network marketing company should you align yourself with?
The top network marketing company in 2012 is the one that’s been around the longest, is number two in worldwide sales and has been growing at a clip of more than 10% per year even during the recession. The top network marketing company is Amway.
When you have the world’s top selling dietary supplements in Nutrilite, a top 5 prestige skin care brand in Artistry, one of the top 5 best selling energy drinks and the highest rated cleaning products and detergents, you know you’re doing something right. Add on some high quality personal care and home care products along with dozens of brand name partner stores, and it’s little wonder that Amway did $9.2 billion in sales in 2010 and is projected to do $10.5 billion in sales in 2011.
As great and as in-demand as their products are, there’s even more to like about the Amway business opportunity. The compensation plan is the most lucrative in the industry, and it’s built to reward even the newest person with bonuses and healthy monthly income checks as long as the new business owner completes a few simple steps to lay the foundation for their business.
Amway supports its Independent Business Owners (IBO’s) with global advertising campaigns through several mediums like TV, Print, Internet marketing and more. They continue to innovate with product development, social media participation and improving their business opportunity to be unmatched within the industry.
I highly recommend taking a good look at the Amway business opportunity before you consider any other network marketing company by doing some research and talking to an informed IBO, such as myself.
For much more information on Amway and why I feel it’s the top network marketing company in 2012 and beyond, click on the link below and read all about the company, products, partnerships and business opportunity. I think you’ll see why starting an Amway network marketing business is becoming so popular among ambitious online entrepreneurs like yourself:
The old-school curiosity approach is out, and the new-school, upfront and honest approach is in.
I’m sorry to break the news to the veterans out there, but prospects these days, especially in North America, are too skeptical and distrustful to let you get away with the “curiosity approach,” which was very flawed and dishonest in the first place in my humble opinion.
You see, by not disclosing vital information to a prospect such as the actual company you’re affiliated with that provides the business opportunity you are offering to this person, you are by default being dishonest with them.
Be that as it may, it worked to some degree for many years, at least on the vulnerable and the naive. Now, most people want to know everything right off the bat and which network marketing company you’re working with, and frankly, they have every right to.
Why not disclose your network marketing company to a prospect? Are you ashamed of your business? Are you worried they’re going to do a Google search on your company and run into a bunch of negative websites? Well they might just do that, and once again, they have every right to, but it’s your obligation to be open and honest with them from the start, and they can make the decision from then on what to believe and what not to.
I can’t stand when network marketers try to dance around the issue of what company they’re in. And by the way, even though you’re not an employee and it is your own business, you are “in” your network marketing company, whether you like it or not. The faster you accept this the faster you’ll grow.
The major driving force behind people still wanting to use the old-school approach is not only wanting to withhold information from the prospect, but also because they have little to no interest in selling their network marketing companies’ products. They only want to recruit and sponsor. Needless to say, this is an awful approach to building a true, balanced network marketing business.
Selling products should be the first thing you learn to do as a network marketing business owner. You are in direct sales after all. Only after you learn about your products, learn some sales skills and demonstrate your ability to make a consistent, significant profit by selling your products should you venture out and attempt to sponsor some other opportunity seekers who you wish to train to do the same.
If you attack your business with this mindset, you will have no choice but to lead with your products and your company name. You will actually be happy to do this after a while. Believe me, it’s much easier than having to dance around the issue and play games with your prospect.
Proudly proclaim the network marketing company you’re in, lead with products, sell, and then sponsor. This is the correct process for a profitable, long-term network marketing business. You will gain people’s trust, make more money earlier on in your career, and people will actually come to you wanting to do what you do, which is selling quality, exclusive products at a reasonable price and then teaching others to do the same.
You might have noticed that Pro Network Marketing has been branching out in recent months and is no longer just your average network marketing blog.
Let’s be real here. There’s only so much that can be said and so many tips on building a successful network marketing business that can be given before virtually every topic and strategy has been covered. Sure, things are always changing, and new information and motivational writing is always in demand. But for the most part, it’s all been said before and now it’s just a matter of presenting the information in a different way to reach and affect the most amount of people possible.
That’s why Pro Network Marketing has started to include posts about not only our network marketing company and their high quality products, but also about things closely related to network marketing like self development and personal growth. This is reflected in the decision to start the brand new Self Development Shop, which is an e commerce store that will be debuting in the next couple weeks. It will feature products for success in business and life. They will mostly consist of ebooks, audio books, audio training and software.
So while Pro Network Marketing will continue to be your leading source of fresh information and advice on building a successful network marketing business, my goal is to also to provide true and accurate information about my network marketing company, their many products that can positively impact your life, and information about the upcoming Self Development Shop and the plethora of products provided there that will hopefully lift you to whatever financial and personal goals you have set for yourself.
Look for this and other brand new, interesting topics of discussion on this network marketing blog in the future. Trust me, we are just getting started.
So, you’re in a network marketing company that focuses on recruiting to make money and never talks about retailing any products to outside consumers? Uh-oh, looks like you’re involved in an illegal pyramid scheme.
If I were you, I’d get out immediately, or if you’re considering joining one of these scam companies, put it out of your mind completely right this minute. After all, you don’t want to be involved with something illegal do you?
I know what you’re thinking. If I can make some money with it, even if it is illegal, and I don’t get caught or get in any sort of trouble, then I don’t care if it is an illegal pyramid scheme. Hey I’m with you. As long as it’s not hurting anybody (which it is by the way), then no harm no foul right? Wrong.
First off, there’s a 99.9% chance you won’t make significant money in one of these recruitment-based pyramid schemes. Secondly, it is actually against the law, and there’s always the chance the FTC could step in and shut down the company. Thirdly, even if the company isn’t shut down, it will collapse by itself before too long, because the recruiting will inevitably dry up and since no product is being retailed…goodbye sham network marketing company.
As far as I know, there’s only one company that actually has retailing rules and standards in place that comply with the FTC, and that’s Amway. And those rules are a good thing, because it means that distributors are able to make more money, have lifelong businesses and sponsor more people into a legitimate business opportunity, as you make money first, and then show others how they can do the same, rather than selling some high-hope, pie-in-the-sky recruitment idea that never seems to go anywhere.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Amway is the only network marketing company or home bases business that you should be considering. They have no real competition and their products have no equal in the marketplace. Their compensation plan is the best, they are compliant with the Better Business Bureau and the FTC, and they are the only network marketing company that actually creates networks of salespeople rather than networks of other recruiters, with the exception of Avon.
Amway is a legitimate network marketing company. It’s ironic, because most of the negative garbage slung at the MLM/network marketing industry is thrown directly at Amway. It’s true, they’ve been guilty in the past of looking the other way at some of the high level distributors who’ve taken advantage of tools and business support materials in the past, but those days are over, and this corporation has literally nothing to hide or to be ashamed of. They are the cream of the crop in the network marketing industry. They have been since they started, and they always will be.
If you are looking to join a legitimate, solid, established, credible network marketing company that won’t go about of business in 3 years or not pay your bonus check that you earned last month, then join Amway. If you want to join a recruitment pyramid scheme that only generates income by signing up new distributors and couldn’t care less about the quality or value of their products, let alone your well-being, then join one of those other network marketing companies. The choice is up to you.
All I know is, starting a home business through Amway is the best decision I’ve ever made, and it will likely be the best decision you’ve ever made too. If you don’t like it, you have 180 days to get your money back. (It’s less than $200 anyway) Heck, if you don’t like one of their products, you have 180 days to return it for a full refund as well. There is no other company like this on the planet. Start an Amway business or sample some high quality products by using the link below:
