Network marketing does it really work?

Network marketing or multi-level marketing works. Is it real? That’s the question a lot of people ask. The Internet is teeming with network marketing companies and people are becoming more and more skeptical about them and not without a reason. 

Bad network marketing companies bring bad network marketing experiences

You can’t blame these people for not believing (it).  There are many network marketing companies that are rogue and have bled their members dry. These companies give this industry a bad name. A rotten apple in the basket is enough to make the whole basket with apples unattractive and unappetizing. The same goes for network marketing.

A story about a bad experience is enough to make people lose faith.  The problem is that in doing so they throw away a golden opportunity. They turn their backs on the entrance to the world  they’re looking for,  a world of money and less stress. How do you know which company is trustworthy?

Do your research on the right places and ask questions to the right people

Yes, it is that simple and yet not simple at all. Reading is easy but learning what to look for is not. You really need to read a lot of reviews and success stories thoroughly. Not only do you have to read, but you also have to try to find similarities and differences. Remember, there’s a pattern in everything. See if you see this recurring pattern in the reviews and success stories. You can learn from the reviews, so you know what to ask when you get an offer to participate in a network marketing opportunity. Be aware of requirements that seem strange and questionable.  For example: If the company requires you to buy an amount of their products’ stock to qualify as a member, take a step back and think again. The reason may be that the company’s products don’t sell that well, which is why they need new members who buy a lot of them before they can actually join.

Talk to those people who have failed but be skeptic about the reasons why they have failed. Some people weren’t fit, and some weren’t into doing what has to be done to make it successful. Also talk to those that are successful and listen to their stories. Of course there are less stories about success than about failure. In the end only a few will become millionaires just like in other businesses.

Always check the company

In addition, also learn to investigate if the company is viable. Study  their marketing campaign and their compensation plan. Ask yourself if their marketing strategy and business model is of the kind that can really sell and has a good shelf life. Try to see if it can keep growing even if you’ve already had all your contacts.  And a particularly important question:  Is there a continuous need for the products or services?

How are the products and services?

Finally, of course, it is especially important to make sure that the products and services you are going to offer are useful and worth their money. It’s crucial that you believe in what you’re selling. Of course, you don’t want your business to be about fooling people with products that don’t really work. If you don’t have faith in the products and services the company provides, chances are you  can’t  convince other people to buy. You must be the example of the product. If your product really works then your sales story is not a problem.

So do your duty and research, read the reviews of the companies, ask experienced network marketers and you’ll find that network marketing works for you!
