Residual Income Business to Business

Residual Income Business to Business

#1 Residual Income Opportunity For Everyone Who Hates MLM

Six Reasons To Run Away From Network Marketing – And A Very Profitable Alternative
You will never get rich working for someone else!

Your employer “buys you” at wholesale and “sells you” at retail. After paying you and all the other operating expenses, he hopes to have a little profit left over…

So why not start your own business? Well, that’s really expensive and often complicated and slow. Many, many people have invested in expensive franchises to escape the corporate world. But most soon discover that they have spent thousands (often HUNDREDS of thousands) and only bought themselves a new JOB. Many end up making less and the failure rate is very high, costing the franchisees everything.

Business to Business Sales

Network marketing is a concept that has promised to level the playing field.

In networking, you earn a commission on what you sell plus an override commission on the sales of the new reps that you “sponsor”. This is the double promise of direct sales commission income and residual income from the efforts of others. Plus, these residual commissions can accumulate from sales reps many levels deep, and this is why network marketing is also accurately called multi-level marketing (or MLM). Anyone can join a network marketing company and let the company take care of the operational details like product production and labeling, order processing, product shipping, accounting, and commission payments.

Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, reality doesn’t often match with the promises of network marketing.

First, nobody gets paid until someone sells something! Despite the claim, “You don’t have to sell anything, just share the products,” selling is REQUIRED! You NEED to convince people to STOP buying what they are now getting from WalMart, Target, or Amazon and buy from YOU. Or you need to convince people to START buying something in addition to what they are now buying

In truth, you need to do some HARD SELLING to get people to change their buying habits. In addition, you NEED to sell others on the opportunity to also spend money to do the same thing and become sales reps, too.

Network marketing has been correctly called the SALES BUSINESS for people with no SALES or BUSINESS experience. Is it any wonder that most people in MLM never make a dime, and ruin their relationships with friends and neighbors?

Other problems with most MLM opportunities lie deep in the details. Look carefully at the “compensation plan” of your chosen company. Beware of these gotcha’s:

1. Having to recruit a number of people BEFORE you qualify for any commissions. This may also be seen as having to “pass up” the first few sales to your sponsor, or every other sale, etc. In either case, you don’t get paid for everything you do.

2. Having to achieve and maintain a certain volume of sales before you qualify for commissions. Miss your quota and you earn nothing. And since the reps you recruit and the customers that you accumulate are continually cancelling, you need to fill these slots first to get paid every month. Only a few “super-salesmen” can sustain this constant sales pressure, and even these don’t succeed because they never create any depth in their downline.

3. Having a limit on how many people you can sponsor. This is described as “width”. Some companies force “break-aways” or other methods to push recruits to lower commission levels. If you have any limits your earning potential is also limited.

4. Being required to build a downline with a number of “legs”. In other words, any diagram with right, left, center, etc. positions for the reps you sponsor and the reps that they sponsor. The ONLY reason for these legs is that most companies require that you balance these legs – or they only pay commissions on the sales of the SMALLER leg. This means that only get paid on less than half of your sales that month (even if the sales volume of the other leg gets carried over sometime into the future).

5. Having to increase sales and the numbers of recruits in order to move up in the commission payout scheme. Obviously, the first in are buoyed by everyone that joins after them. These are the “gurus” that are featured on stage at the glitzy events you are forced to pay to attend. They have achieved their success largely on the efforts of wannabees way down the line. In reality, it is next to impossible to catch them much less pass them. Most people never make it past the second or third level in any organization. Actually, as many as 90% of people will quit without making any money or even making it past the second level.

Just like in a casino, the “house” always wins as long as people are playing.

Do you also understand why network marketing “gurus” are continually jumping to new companies, just so they can start the recruiting process (and bonus payments) over again with a new crop of suckers?

 

6. But the worst feature of network marketing is called “auto-ship”. This requires every independent representative to ALSO be a customer. You are REQUIRED to buy a certain amount of products – automatically billed and shipped to you – EVERY month. (Very few companies allow you to promote the product line without also being a paying customer). 

You better find a way to use all the products and pay for the next shipment every month or you will not qualify for commissions. In addition, to move up to higher commission levels you are REQUIRED to buy more and more. Even worse, commissions are calculated on an artificial value called “business volume” that is often 20% to 30% less than the actual retail price you paid. (This is just another way the company short-changes you on the sales you make.)

Of course, you are encouraged to buy and use ALL the products of the company. The auto-ship is typically about $100.00 per month of products. But you could easily buy hundreds of dollars per month. Now if your products are so beneficial, why wouldn’t you want everyone in your family to participate. Why should only one person be healthy, happy, trim and youthful? So now a family of four needs to spend at least $400.00 per month. Where does this money come from if you aren’t earning commissions? How long will you keep this up?

For all the reasons above, most people quit their MLM within 90 days, often less.

What’s worse, most blame the company or the product or their sponsor – instead of the built-in MLM deficiencies. They look for a new pre-launch opportunity, or they are recruited by their prior sponsor who has already jumped to a new life raft…
