Why Do So Many People Turn Away When You Mention MLM? How Can We Change This Perception?
Why People Feel That MLM Is Not A Good Business Model!
Since I have been full time at home since 1990, I have seen it all! I have been in many MLM's that have shafted me and people I brought in due to greedy owners who change things mid-stream! My focus has been to help new or young companies grow! Mistake! Also, people drop out since they can't duplicate it, and then your income dwindles. I also learned that most compensation plans are geared to make the big guys and the companies rich at the expense of the little guy! The ONLY fair plan is a properly structured Matrix Comp Plan! The worst comp plan is a Binary, then a Breakaway, a Unilevel, and so forth. People hear about this and know that hardly anyone ever makes it in MLM or Network Marketing! They then perceive the whole industry as a scam! How can we change this perception?
So many fail in MLM due to joining new or young companies since over 97% don't make it past 2 years! Why? It goes back to greed again! Most owners simply want to get a large base of reps in, then with a bad comp plan make a lot of money, then shaft people and take a huge sum & run with it! Then they start a new deal and do it all over again to make tons of money at the expense of the majority! These are the reasons people fail in MLM: Young or new companies (95% fail), bad comp plans, greedy owners, over priced products, they buy into hype with lack of research, lack of upline support, no systems, no training, no tools, bad management, few products, few countries they are in, and finally they are just lazy and do not want to work!
Now I think you understand why most people feel the way they do about MLM since over 97% fail in it! There is only one way to reverse this and that is to do a lot of research into several companies and never join any company that does not have at least 5 years behind them as some proof that they may survive! Products MUST be consumable and they must be products that people will never give up, especially in this economy! The first thing people cut back on is the "New Money" when it comes down to paying bills first! What "New Money" means is that you are buying products you don't normally buy now. Look for a company that is in multiple countries with plans to go Worldwide! There are a handful of long term programs out there, so get ready to do some homework! The KEY is to not simply jump based on hype and promises of quick wealth! There is no such thing and if you remember the saying, "if it sounds to good to be true, it is"...
Finally, make sure that you have a "passion" for what you promote or you will never make it. Once you decide on a company that meets all the success variables, make sure you interview your sponsor well! Ask about support, what tools do they have to help you build your business, what tools does the company have, are there ongoing conference calls, how long have they been working from home, speak with their sponsors to make sure they are people you want to work with (gut instinct here), and will they help you with 3-way calls. Also, make sure before you decide on the company to take a look at their growth over the years! Make sure that they are a privately held company with NO stockholders or investors to depend on! Why? Any public company has a primary focus on satisfying their investors and this usually means at the expense of their distributor base! I have seen this happen too many times where the distributors suffer by cuts in commissions and people leave! It is truly time to reverse the failure rate in MLM and this is why it is so important to follow these guidelines!
I wish everyone good fortune!

You are absolutely correct! I am glad to make contact with people in the same mind set! I do wish you well in your endeavors. My whole purpose is to help the little guy make it out there. The failure rate is about 97% and should be just the opposite! Passion is the very core to success as well. Someone who does not place a high priority on health is not going to do well in our arena! They may be passionate about travel or telecom instead. Hence as I interview them, if they prefer this, I would send them on their way instead of trying to change their passion. Let's keep the door open, but for now, Melaleuca is my passion and most likely will be my retirement company! I wish you much long term success Josh! KIT! Tom

Tom - I appreciate you. Thank you for reaching out to me through social media. It is an amazing way to align with like-minded people. I am always grateful to meet professional networkers who truly value the power and influence of the industry. It is an industry that has given me more than I can say, and I believe that it will continue to grow and become a more significant force in product and service distribution. I also appreciate your invitation to join your team. I consider it a great complement and I value the time that is required to make such connections. As you can see - I am compelled to tell you that I am extremely passionate about what I do, and, in fact, it would take a team of wild horses to drag me away from my children! You see, Trivani allows me to sponsor a child every time I add someone new to my network. It truly is an opportunity for me to follow my passions in both purpose and prosperity. As mentioned, should you at any time feel a change coming on, I would be pleased to offer you a position within my child sponsorship network. You would find this to be both extremely prosperous and very rewarding. Trivani also offers a tremendous social media platform and an incredible automated recruiting system that will allow you to reach out to every contact you have immediately and bring them into your child sponsorship network. I look forward to a long, purposeful and professional relationship. I salute you Tom!. Cheers! Josh

Well Tom, I do see how this couild make sense to you. I believe however, we may be discussing from 2 differennt paradigms here. When I say "purpose' I am coming from what "I see" as a larger purpoose. (i.e. I am not asking you to see what I see as a larger purpose .. as what you see as a larger purpose). If I'm right here, you are seeing the "main difference as being that M saves people money on products they already use from the stores" - and that may be absolutely correct (depending on what people now buy from their store). You also mention that Trivani does not do this? Again different paradigms here Tom. I know you would agree - After 35 years in the industry Tom, I sincerely believe that if anyone desiring to purchase better products or services should always buy 'direct' from a solid NM company. 'M' is obviously this. What I believe you may be missing here Tom (and I do say 'maybe), is that you are talking of "differences as the purpose" - and I am talking - "purpose as the difference". (Trivani has a purpose far greater than simply high quality product - or more effective marketing plan, Tom (which, BTW, pays out a far greater % (63) to its distributors than any company I have studied in 35 years - including 'M' - due to it not being profit orientated - but rather humanitarian/purpose orientated/driven company - I also do not know of any company where the founders are happy with between 1%-2% profit! Do you? - Most are around 14% here - including 'M'. ....

The main difference is we save people money on products they already use from the stores, Trivani does not! When people cut back expenses they will not drop our products. I hope this makes sense to you?

All good Tom ;-)
Purpose seems to be the only difference I can see here then. Thanks muchly for you time - and wishing you and your family a great remainder of the year! And remember Tom - (and I just gotta say this! ;-) ... I am here for when you finally realise that Trivani rocks with more income and purpose ;-). With respect .. Josh B-C

No apologies necessary Josh! I have looked at it before, but I like Melaleuca's easier to promote concept of saving people money where Trivani doesn't. I do wish you well! :)

Have looked at Mal...ka Tom - some years ago - and again a few months ago. Too many variables for me. You are obviously doing well - well done. MY post to you however, was more for your feedback on Trivani - my apologies for it obvioulsy coming across like I was looking for something else. It was definitely not designed to be taken as an opportunity for you to try and SELL me on Mal..ka. - I can see my writing skills must get better!!! ;-) Cheers! Josh

Funny you should mention the switch Josh! I am looking for leaders in NZ. & AU. both to run with my total focus which has a 25 year track record too! What I truly like is their concepts which make it easy for anyone to promote and no worries about them going under as they will top 1 billion dollars in sales this year! They are also ranked # 15 out of 100 home based businesses in revenue! 3 concepts: save people money over store bought products, eliminate toxic chemicals from them, and save tons of plastic from our environment by concentrating their products! We are in 16 countries with more coming on rapidly! See my profile for more info. and no matter what you decide, much long term success to you! You may even want to be a customer only!
My Best! Tom
