MLM Pioneer Leaders and the pit falls to watch out for

Remember that MLM companies face the same start up issues as any other traditional companies do in the first 12 months of starting operations in your country.

Some of the problems faced by new distributors if they join a new start up company are

• Inexperienced staff to handle the huge growth if the company is found to grow tot fast
• The delivery or courier system finding it hard to handle the demand of the products. You may get compaints about product deliveries and should be able to handle this professionally.
• Not enough sales material to market the products. This could be an issue so get help from your sponsor and see if they can help you.

You may have to create your own material until the company has relevant marketing information on your market to hand over to you. This generally takes around 6 to 12 months to iron out and things to settle down smoothly.

If you preserve you will be well rewarded in 12 to 36 months of joining such a company. There is no reward if you don't work for it.

Network Marketing Publications

There are a number of local publications such as "Media Usahawan", that mentions the best mlm companies to look at in Malaysia. They normally rate the companies on a number of issues such as products, business plan and financial status of the company. The international magazines such as "MLM Insider" as a good place to start. They will guide you as to what to look for and also help you to get good training material for your future team.

Local MLM Information

Look at the local papers for company business presentations and follow up and evaluate the information given to see if its worth pursuing a career in that company. Most companies have fantastic online video presentations on their network marketing websites these days. A good presentation should be to the point, brief and around 10 to 15 minutes. What is network marketing?

At the end of the presentation you should have the option to contact a company representative for more details. You should not feel obligated to sign any paper work immediately. Take the information away and do your due diligence. Most people should be able to decide within 24 to 48 hours from getting the information pack.

You may be stopped at bus shelters and train stations and given promotional material of enthusiastic distributors promoting their company. Don't throw this away as you may never know if you are just a few seconds away from freedom.
