Kim Thompson-Pinder - 10 Things You Absolutely Must Know Before Joining A MLM or Home Based Business Company

There are so many things to consider when joining a MLM (Multi-Level Marketing), Network Marketing or Direct Sales company, and you want to make sure that you join the right one the first time.

It is always a good idea to check out several companies first to find out which one is the best for you and we will cover what to look for in this book

BUT

The biggest thing is not the company you choose, but the leader that you choose to go under. Let me repeat that again. Choosing the right leader is more important than the right company.

You can have the right company, products, compensation plan and everything else, but if you dont know how to sell or recruit and you have no one to teach you then where does that leave you? Right where I was, frustrated, alone and loosin g money instead of making money and that is not a fun place to be.

Now b efore we get into finding the right company, I thought that I would quickly give you some of the benefits of having your own business.

First of all is the residual income involved. In the traditional business model, you get paid for the hours that you work, so if you need more money you have to work more hours. The problem with that is that you have no control. You dont control how many hours you work or how much that you get paid for each of those hours . When you join a MLM company however, you have the opportunity over time to build a business and get paid for work that you did in the past. For example: Over a period of time you build up a team of representatives that are continually selling product that you receive a percentage of the sales on. All of the hard work is done in the beginning and from then on you reap the benefits. With enough work in the beginning, you will get to the point where you are making money and not doing anything to earn it.

Secondly, is the ability to set your own hours. Even when you have a part time job, you have to work when the boss tells you to work, whether it is convenient for you or not. With MLM you can be making part time income quickly, but you set the hours that you want to work. So whether you want to start quickly or slowly the choice is yours. So if your child has an event that they want you at you can go, you dont have to ask anyone. You make the decision.

Third , all of the company set up is done for you. You dont have to create products, advertising anything like that. All you have to do is plug into the system that the company provides, learn it and succeed. Plus most companies have easy to afford join up fees so you can get started right away earning money.

Fourth, it can save you money because you always get a discount on your own products that you use everyday.

Fifth and probably the best point is that over time you can actually create a full time income and have the lifestyle that YOU want for YOUR family and the time freedom to enjoy it.

So there you go, five reasons in a nutshell why you should have your own business.

So now lets take a look at the 10 things you need to look for when starting your own business:

1. Products/Services

2. Age & Credibilty of the Company

3. Costs To Join

4. DSA Member

5. Understanding the Compensation Plan

6. Training

7. Technology

8. Time Investment

9. Prospecting and Sales Methods

10. The Leader You Join Under
