Your 7 Step Guideline to a Successful Marketing Online Company
by Harveen Dhesi
Beware of the Wolves in Sheep's clothing. They present themselves as solid marketing online companies, have a stimulating sales pitch, and their compensation plan doesn't look too bad either. They have large corporate offices with all kinds of people back there to ensure your success. Sounds nice, yes? Companies that sell products like lotions, potions, pills, miracle juices or miracle gas saving products aren't often to the advantage of the average person for a variety of reasons, some of which are:
The product is not what is making them the money-you, the distributor, are! They offer you an auto ship program, where they sell you product at wholesale prices. You are then required to turn around and sell these products for a profit. Of course, if you're unable to do this, and product just languishes in your garage, then who is out of pocket? Not the company, they already have your money.
The bulk of the money they receive is from you, the distributor, and not from the product at all. They have a program called auto-ship which entitles you, the distributor to purchase product from them at wholesale prices. You are then required to sell said product and, hopefully, make a profit. Once you've paid for the product, they're unconcerned whether you can move it or not. They've already made their profit.
This is a favorite - the incentive of a free car or vacation for selling X amount over X amount of time. Of course if your personal volume and your group volume are at an imbalance, then you no longer qualify! So sorry! But they are very appreciative of all the money you made them trying to get that car or vacation package!
Home parties have been around for a while as everybody has friends and family they can push this crap on. Who better to obligate? It's really simple... If I wanted weight loss, I'd go to GNC. If I wanted Lotions, I'd go to Save On, Longs, or my favorite Department store. If I wanted to put additives in my gas tank, I'd go to Kragen, Chief or Pep Boys and buy a product from STP or Penzoil. You get the idea..? At least you know what you're paying for and more importantly, what you're getting for your money. You could probably take it back and get a refund as well.
How many online marketing companies offer a cure to a leading illness like cancer?! If these juices made from Acai Berry, Goji berry, Mangsteen fruit or some kind of Marine product can really cure cancer, or any other major sickness, would we be ignoring it? Come on! While I don't disregard that some of these products might have some essential qualities, I wouldn't go into business with them. Not if I want to yield returns.
How do you choose a business, and the right online marketing program, in which you can profit and be satisfied to represent? How do you know which are genuine and which are not? Well, having made the assessment that out of the number of companies on the internet that are simply bogus and only a very few are legit, I offer this simple but effective guideline to use.
There are seven initial key points in assessing an online marketing company. Your #1 goal is to make money, and to make it legally and justifiably, without any underhanded deeds. This guideline will help you assesses and determine which company is right for you.
1. Your sales should make you at least 75% of the commission up front. If it doesn't-forget it. This means the person above you or the company is the one actually benefiting from all your hard work.
2. If you are not making at least 75% of the upfront commission when you make a sale, forget it. This means that you are doing all the work and the online marketing company and/or the person above you is making all the money.
3. If they instruct you to host home parties, and try and convince you your path to success is through selling to your family and friends - RUN.
4. If they teach you to hold home parties and invite all your friends. Run away fast.
5. If it is a start up or in pre launch, forget it. The chances of these companies becoming the next Amway is about as good as winning the lottery. At least with the lottery, you have a chance to win once or twice a week. Spend that money wisely instead-go to Vegas and have a blast, at least the memories will be worth it.
6. If they have a sales pitch 2-3 times a day and only 2-3 training classes per week. This means that the company is more interested in selling you than training you how to make money long term
7. If you can't break even or get into profit with 3 sales, forget it. Remember this one!
Naturally, these are not all the rules for success on the internet, but it is a great guideline to use when accessing and choosing the perfect online marketing company.
