The Good, The Bad, And The Illegal - Articles Surfing

Multi-level marketing has touched everyone in one way or another. If you don't think so, just check out your kitchen cupboard. Do you see some Tupperware in there? Maybe a little Rubbermaid? Even the generic versions of food keepers stem from companies like Tupperware, which has made a name for itself for generations. Tupperware is just one of hundreds of mlm companies in existence today. They have survived, however, while others have floundered. Basically three categories exist in the world of the MLM company: the good, the bad, and the illegal.

The good MLM company begins with a few characteristics. First of all, a great company will not require a huge financial investment from its salespeople. Certainly all sales people must invest in their company in one way or another, but a good company will require minimal investment and will also allow the sales person to sell back inventory at a high price should he or she decide to pull out of the company. These same companies will maintain their legality by asking sales people to sell their products and not to sell the ability to sell the product. Some companies will give incentives for bringing another salesperson under an employee's wing, but no company should lead an initial sales person to draw his or her income solely off new sales people. That leads us into the bad companies.

A bad MLM company will conversely require a significant financial investment with little promise for buying inventory back. Furthermore, it will require hours of work for little pay. Additionally, a bad MLM company will offer its sales people little to no training besides a pitiful field manual and the products they should sell.

Finally, the illegal MLM company will hopefully not stay in business long, but they still exist. How can you tell if it's illegal? The sales people become managers who never sell a product. They suck their sales people dry by taking a part of their profits, and they invest little financially while taking huge returns on a job where they once sold but now do nothing.

Watch out for these companies. The legitimate MLM company does exist, but before diving into any MLM opportunity, a person should research the company fully.
