This article is about how to prevent you from picking a business that is full of ‘fluff’. In other words, these are the ‘no-fluff’ preventative measures for finding a home based business with so many out of them out there!
These companies may have been in business for a while and have a big corporate office. It makes it look really good, right? These companies have products that everyone else has and can be hard to sell for the average person.
Most of these businesses have a 30-day cycle monthly shipping plan to send you products each and every month. Much of the money they make is from this monthly plan from each distributor. The rest of their money comes from the distributor selling the products.
The compensation plans for these companies are not very good, usually paying the distributor a few % up to 25%. The levels or matrixes are hard to balance out, but their top sponsor will train you on how to make it work effectively, and it is never as easy as it is taught.
It is hard to know how to pick a company on your own since one company will be similar to another, but the hype of the ‘next best latest thing’ about this one company persuaded you to believe it was a better deal than ‘those others’. So how do you discern a good company from the rest of them?
Here is a good start. Your first thing is you know you want to make good money and do so in an ethical way. You want to be honest and feel good about what you are offering. You do not want to harm anyone. You need to know the ‘whole story’ of what the company can offer you.
If a company’s pay plan is less than 75%, forget them! Your time and many hours working will not be worth it. They will be ‘using you’ for all you have given them and they will make much more profit than you will.
Most of these companies, you need 10,000 sign ups or more to make any real money. While your teams do much of the work, it is still very difficult to make a good living. There are people who can do this, but it is not common.
One thing to look out for is to find out if a company offers any real training. They might offer minimal training, but if that training is to go to your family or friends to ‘sign them up’, then back away NOW! That is NOT training. These companies do not want to pay for training when they can easily make money from you as the representative. Is this making sense now?
If you cannot profit in a few sales, then there’s a sign, too. If you the owners hide behind email, aren’t available when you call customer service or do not call you back, then there is another sign. Ask yourself why they do not want to talk to you. Are they afraid of the tough questions?
If it is a brand new company, then be careful. Make sure they are have their ducks in a row. Every company has to start somewhere, but make sure they are solid. If you get a feeling they are not on solid ground, then just don’t get involved. You’d have better chances at a casino than with them!
So here is your guideline when selecting a company either online or offline. When you use your intuition, along with good sound judgement, combined with these idea’s here, you will most likely make a good choice if you ask the right questions.
