Questions To Ask When Buying A Marketing List
5 Simple Questions to Choosing the Best Network Marketing System
Every MLM company and every upline claims to have a PROVEN and DUPLICATABLE network marketing system. But is that system really the best one for you and your business? You’ll never know unless you do a little digging. Here are 5 simple questions to ask when choosing the best MLM system for you.
1. Has the leader been educated in marketing from sources OUTSIDE of the network marketing industry?
This is particularly important.
The sad truth is, most MLM distributors have absolutely NO experience in marketing. On top of that, the old standby strategies of dragging friends and family to meetings is too outdated to be effective.
So look for someone who has thought outside the box, and whose marketing ideas are in keeping with the way businesses operate today.
2. Can the leader provide a list of REAL people who will testify to the effectiveness of their marketing system?
This is a no brainer. You want to see that their system is working for other people just like you.
This is not to say that the system has to work for EVERY single person that implements it. That would just be unrealistic. But you DO want a large percentage of success.
3. Will the leader provide numbers/statistics that show how effective their system is?
I’ve seen folks go as far as posting copies of their commission checks to prove their results.
4. Is the leader claiming to build your business for you?
This is an automatic red flag for me.
Most network marketing companies forbid this kind of behavior and for good reason. This is YOUR business. Not your upline’s. Therefore, YOU are the only one that can build it.
5. How much is it?
Usually your upline WILL NOT charge you to use their system. After all they benefit directly from your success.
However if you are purchasing the system of another industry leader OUTSIDE of your organization, you’ll want to consider some other factors.
Are they charging you an arm and a leg for their network marketing system?
The fact is this person is selling you information. Information that they typically use to prospect people into their own MLM business. There is nothing wrong with that. But it also means that they benefit most by getting the information in your hands. If they charge too much, how many people would buy it?
My rule of thumb? $50 to $100 is my absolute max to pay for a marketing system. Plus, I would want access to additional training and income generating options for that amount of money.
There you have it. Choosing a company and product to represent is a big decision. BUT choosing a network marketing system to grow your business is equally as important.
Do your research and ask yourself and your upline these questions and you should be well on your way to implementing a system that will grow your business.
