There are so many different network marketing or Multi Level Marketing companies operating on the Internet today. Sometimes it can be hard to know whether or not you are the company you are looking into is a reputable company or if they are someone trying to scam others. It becomes harder and harder with all the new companies being added virtually every day. Here are some tips to make sure you are not taken advantage of.
The first thing you need to look for is when you initially talk to an Internet marketer make sure you are talking to a person. The world of email and auto responders are great. They can assist you in so many ways when building a business in the Internet world, but never discount the value of human contact. Be sure that if you are not actually called by your potential mentor that you call them. Make sure they are really there, that it’s really the person they say they are. The way that someone carries themselves on the phone with you can determine so much about how much you are willing to trust that person as your potential mentor. If that potential mentor does everything to avoid human contact chances are they are not going to be a good mentor for you.
The second thing you need to look for is ensure you mentor, or the Network Marketing company they are with has an actual physical address. Is it a P.O. Box? If it is then why? Do they have an address for the corporate headquarters? After all you may pick a great mentor but the company you are with is the company sending you your check, you really want to make sure they are an actual company. Do a little of your own research. Are they a new company? Have they been in business for some time and have an established record? Now the Internet itself can be a great tool but often misleading. Check your information with the BBB(Better Business Bureau). Make sure they have testimonials from other distributors other than your potential mentor.
The last thing you will want to look for is do some research in the Internet community. If this network marketing company has been around for some time chances are they have done business with a lot of people and have a good or a bad reputation. No matter what any mentor tells you there is no product in the world no matter how good it is that sells itself. Make sure there is a sales plan set up through this company or even through your potential mentor that you can actually see potential results through. The best way to check those results out and is check the Internet community. Chances are there are some pretty dedicated customers or distributors out there on the Internet that are singing it’s praises.
Some of these tips may seem to be common sense, but sometimes potential business owners get so excited and about a new business venture and another source of potential income and simply forget some of the common sense things that we already know. Do your homework and make sure you find the right Network Marketing or Multi Level Marketing company for you.
