First Things First
Jeff Whenman
The Utility Expert
Before you can become a Serious Sponsor in the network marketing industry, you must first join a network marketing company. Unfortunately most people come into the industry as a result of being invited to a meeting by a friend, at that point they decide whether or not they like that particular opportunity or not, often without any research of the industry or the company involved. Furthermore they have had very little time to see if the system that particular team is using will work for them.
So with no industry research, no product research, no company research they head off completely blind and become temporary Evangelist of a business opportunity they have no understanding of. Most successful network marketers have little success until their second or third business opportunity, which is largely because they have finally done their research before joining a network.
But other people are making money with xyz company I hear you say, yes they are but probably not many! If I were going to start racing cars, I would not expect the same results as Micheal Schumacher. I would start off racing in a series where I would be competing successfully with people of my own ability. I am not interested where someone else can win as that does not pay the bills, I am interested where I can win. More importantly I am interested in where the people I recruit can win, as I want them to earn money. If I recruit people into a system where 99 of them would have got customers. So now you are being paid on eighty reps at the end of the year not ten, and when they recruit 270 twelve months later you will be being paid on over 200 not just 40-80. But those customers will switch over time I here you say. One of the leading UK networks is seeing less than a 2% loss per annum on its old mutli service customers.
Company management and history is essential, do not in any circumstances join a company less than 10 years old. Ninety percent of companies fail in their first 5 years, and ninety percent of those left will fail in the next five years, what is the chance of you picking the 1 out of 100 that will survive? If your company is that good it will be featured in the national press, business magazines and independent product review papers. Not just the network marketing magazines that the companies pay to do a feature on them.
One of the most successful UK networks has been constantly recommended by all of the major newspapers, on television and in the countries number one consumer magazine, as well as business magazines and investors chronicle. I would say that this should all be part of your research.
Lastly, do you think it easier to save someone money on something they are already buying, or to get them to buy goods and services they probably do not buy?
