How to Choose a New MLM Home Based Businesss Opportunity

When choosing a new mlm home based business opportunity, there are 5 factors to consider. Knowing these can save you from much pain and frustration.

The first factor to consider is do the company owners have mlm experience + integrity? Many people who start network marketing companies have been successful in corporate America but have never built an mlm downline. It's like having a layman as Chief of Surgery or someone who has never taught school become a high-school principal -- neither has a clue about the position. In corporate America the objective is to increase the bottom line for the owners/managers which is usually the objective of company owners who don't have mlm experience. But, if they've built it in the field they would want the compensation plan designed to reward the distributors in the field and not the managers/owners of the company.

But that's only half of the equation. Do they have integrity? Whether the managers have experience or not, they must have integrity. How can you know if they have integrity, you might ask. By simply reading the company's policies & procedures (p&p's). If the p&p's state that you must have ongoing sales, or they can terminate you at anytime for any reason, or there is an annual renewal which the company can deny at their discretion these are all clues to the company's integrity. These are clauses that the owners use to STEAL YOUR DOWNLINE. If you are looking to build your business once you need to know if you'll ever be able to stop working.

I read a p&p once that stated regardless of level of achievement, the consultant has the onging obligation to get at least one new consultant or customer every four months. If they do not sponsor or make a sale every four months, their distributorship will be cancelled. What if you're in this company and you build a sizeable buisness over a two year period and something happens that you can't work for four months. When you joined that company you agreed to relinquish your business if you don't have activity in a four month period. Is there intergrity in that clause? This clause is an example of a clause designed to steal your downline. The owners of the company know that most people do not read the p&p's. If there is clause after clause on how you can be terminated or cancelled, there is no intergrity. When you check the box that you agree to all conditions, you are in essence signing a contract. Don't feel that they won't do that to you. The clauses wouldn't be there if they wouldn't.

I once was in a company that I didn't read the p&p's. This company required a monthly autoship. What I didn't know is my membership would be cancelled if I got off autoship. This is an example of not being able to quit. Once I got off autoship, and this company was so lacking in integrity that even though they cancelled my membership, they kept my website live with the company owner's information. I found this out because someone went to place an order on my site. If the company had any integrity, they would have shut down my website when they cancelled my membership.

This is the most important factor. If this is bad -- run, run, run and don't even think about joining.
