Earlier today I had lunch with David Schwind and Jim Yaghi up here in Sacramento and for some odd reason... we started talking about female singers - the likes of Mariah Carey, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera (I belive it was Jim who started the conversation... don't deny it Jim!) 

We were musing how they each are amazing in their own rights from cerrtain perspective...  Mariah has a killer voice.  Lady Gaga has an amazing stage presence.  Britney Spears use to be hot.  And Christina does the "tough naked" thing pretty well. 

But each of them are also pretty "messed up in their own right.  Mariah got umm... healthy, REALLY healthy.  Lady Gaga is plain ol' "weird".  Britney Spears fell off the wagon.  And Christina is Lady Gaga wanna be.

(These are JUST our opinions, please don't hate us for them, but if you must *shrugs*.)

Here's the thing though, they are all famous and all make money and depending on what you look for in a female singer, you can be attracted to some of them, and be totally turned off by others.

This is No Different in the MLM World

When it comes to choosing a MLM, you have to realize that each have their strenghts and weaknesses and that while some may be perfectly suitable for you - given your passion, desires, strengths, persona, etc. - others will cause your stomach to turn.

There is no one "perfect" MLM opportunity.  So what I've done is distill MLM companies down into 7 key traits that you must consider when deciding if a network marketing buisness opportunity is right for you or not. 

Match each of these 7 traits to your MLM or any other MLM companies and decide if you are in an opportunity suitable for your growth and success. 

Here they are...

1. Does the Company Allow Its Distributors to Use Its Brand Name?

Simply put, do you get in trouble if you so much as publicly mention the company’s name and announce that you are a distributor?  Does their legal police come knocking and threatening you with a lawsuit on the basis of trademark infringement?

Ideally, find a company that allows you to utilize their brand name. Second best… find one that has some qualifications.  To me, a company that REFUSES to let its distributors use its name is just making it more challenging for its distributors to promote.

2. Analyze the RISK Factor

Welcome to the business world where risk is an inherent aspect of our daily lives 

See, it’s not a matter of finding a company with NO risk, that’s impossible.  Everything in business requires you giving up SOMETHING for the possibility of gaining something in return.  It’s a matter of mitigating the risks involved and being okay with those risks considering your investment and the possibility of losing it all.

Ask yourself what you are/will be giving up to be a part of this business opportunity - give up in terms of money, time, effort, etc.  Then ask yourself... do the (potential) rewards justify these things you are giving up?

3. How Good is the Product?

If a product blows, is overpriced, and/or undesirable, that makes for a pretty tough business model to build on eh?  Examine the product carefully, don't get sucked in by the razzle-dazzle compensation plan, that comp plan means jack if you can't sell the product and can't get anyone excited about selling the product.

4. What’s the Compensation Plan Like?

This is simple... WILL you get paid and WILL you get paid enough within the timeframe you want? 

Some MLM companies have compensation plans that pay you well while others have compensation plans that only PRETEND to pay you.  Get me?

5. Is the Training All Just “Hoo-Rah-Rah”?

You know how this goes... when you show up for functions, meeting, and live events, are they all just “hoo-rah-rah” or do they actually have any sustenance? 

If they are all just about pumping you up, then how do you expect to grow as business person trying to grow a sizable business?  Find a company that is interested in developing you as a person, entrepreneur, and marketer.

6. Does It Allow You to Market the Way YOU Want to Market?

It’s called network/multi level MARKETING for a reason.. because the idea is that you are suppose to MARKET your business/those products – I know, what a concept right?

So how much freedom are you permitted when marketing this company and its products?  Is there any red-tape you need to be aware of?

Ultimely, if you cannot market the way you want to market, the way that works for you... then it really doesn't matter how amazing the opportunity and products are.  If you can't get the word out, your business will NOT grow.

7. Personal Experience… So Far

You may not have had much experience with that specific company but maybe you’ve had SOME.  From what you’ve seen and know so far, how do they make you feel?

How did/does your upline and team make you feel?  At the end of the day, if, for whatever reason, you have some negative feelings toward this opportunity, you ought to examine why and perhaps even considering something else that makes you feel better.

There ya go, the 7 factors we decided on when reviewing your (or any) MLM opportunities.  These are by no means complete but they are a good start.  I'd love to heat your thoughts and get your feedback on these 7 factors.  Looking for your comment below, thanks!
