There are so many choices to pick a home based or online business, so how do I really know what’s good? This is an article about ‘fluff prevention’! The offers out there seem so great, but are they really?
They have big offices and have been in business for a long time. Isn’t that good? This company sells competitive products that can be very difficult to sell, not impossible, but difficult.
Most of these businesses have a 30-day cycle monthly shipping plan to send you products each and every month. Much of the money they make is from this monthly plan from each distributor. The rest of their money comes from the distributor selling the products.
They only pay about 2% to 20%, but the truth is, there are many loop holes to these compensation packages, and very few actually make it to the highest part of the plan. Much of these plans also end up being unbalanced, but they will have their leaders tell you how easy it is to balance it effectively. It is harder than what is said.
It is hard to know how to pick a company on your own since one company will be similar to another, but the hype of the ‘next best latest thing’ about this one company persuaded you to believe it was a better deal than ‘those others’. So how do you discern a good company from the rest of them?
Here is a good start. Your first thing is you know you want to make good money and do so in an ethical way. You want to be honest and feel good about what you are offering. You do not want to harm anyone. You need to know the ‘whole story’ of what the company can offer you.
If the commission or the profit is not at least 75% when you make a sale, don’t bother with it. If it is less than that, you are doing all the work and the company is profiting on your hard work.
Most of these companies, you need 10,000 sign ups or more to make any real money. While your teams do much of the work, it is still very difficult to make a good living. There are people who can do this, but it is not common.
One thing to look out for is to find out if a company offers any real training. They might offer minimal training, but if that training is to go to your family or friends to ‘sign them up’, then back away NOW! That is NOT training. These companies do not want to pay for training when they can easily make money from you as the representative. Is this making sense now?
If you cannot profit in a few sales, then there’s a sign, too. If you the owners hide behind email, aren’t available when you call customer service or do not call you back, then there is another sign. Ask yourself why they do not want to talk to you. Are they afraid of the tough questions?
There are plenty of new companies and everyone has to start somewhere, but be careful they are of good foundation. If they are not and you ‘feel’ it, do get involved. It’s that simple. You’d be better off gambling away your money because at least you would have fun.
I hope this guideline has helped you. If you follow this advice along with using your own good judgement and that little voice we all have within us. Be patient and ask every question you can think of to make that good choice!
