What’s MLM?
If you’re unfamiliar with MLM — also known as Multi Level Marketing or Network Marketing — here’s your chance to find out the kinds of things you need to know without hype or pressure.
In this warts-and-all examination of an often misunderstood system of business (that’s what MLM is), our aim is to give you sound, factual information so you can make more knowledgeable, rational decisions.
You’ll discover things that many people in MLM don’t know about their own system of business. We’ll give you a quick history — and show you why it’s so often mistaken for illegal Pyramid Selling. We’ll give you an insight into how to tell what’s really important in different types of reward plans. We’ll examine trends that are effecting the development of MLM, as well as how those trends are likely to shape its future, good and bad.
By the end of your visit, you’ll be in a better position to understand this unique system of business than many of the people already involved… and that’s what’s really needed if MLM is to achieve it’s almost limitless potential. Most network marketers have very limited understanding of its true power. They’re a bit like people who are given a personal jet to fly — but, because it has a motor, wheels, windows, seats and controls, they think it's some kind of fancy automobile.
Is it any wonder that they run into trouble and do lots of damage on the streets? Is it so surprising that so few ever get off the ground?
