Network Marketing Intent

Jul 27

Posted by Wayne Woodworth in Network Marketing | 2 Comments

What is your intent in building your network marketing business?

Is it to make a lot of money? To be able to spend more time at home with your family? We’ve all heard the reasons that people build their own home-based business.

I like to think about intent. I’m also a massage therapist and very interested in energy healing. When you do that kind of work it is all about your intent. It guides your every movement when you are working with a client in that environment.

Intent is just as important when you are sharing your network marketing business opportunity with a prospect. What is your intent? Is it to get them to sign up so that you can make more money? Or is it because you know your prospect is in a difficult spot and you want to offer a way out?

I offer my opportunity because I want people to know that they have options. Yes, I do need to make money to support my family but I have other options if that was my only goal. I believe that it is wrong for people to be stuck in a job they hate or have to desperately search for a new job if they lose their job.

The main reason that I started my business was because I wanted to be home with my family. I have two small kids I want to be around as they grow up. My daughter started kindergarten last year and I was able to drive her to and from school every day. That meant a lot to both of us. That probably isn’t the reason my prospect would want to start a business. So, when we share our network marketing opportunity with other people we need to know where they are and where they want to be and only offer the opportunity if it serves as a possible solution. Otherwise we are just wasting time, both their time and our own.

Response to Network Marketing Scams

Jan 11

Posted by Wayne Woodworth in Network Marketing | No Comments

You’ve seen the business opportunity offers that say “no recruiting necessary” or “we do all the work for you”. Doesn’t that sound like a “too good to be true” kind of deal? It does to me. Any time someone tells me that I can make money without doing anything I start thinking “scam”.

I was thinking about this today and I believe I know what they might be doing, at least some of them. My guess is that they are in an MLM business that has a binary compensation plan. In a binary plan you only have two legs and you get paid based on the weaker of them. If you recruit more than two people then you place them in your downline somewhere under someone else. This discourages people from stacking everyone in one leg and ignoring the other.

What these “no recruiting necessary” businesses probably do is, as they recruit people, they will build a strong leg for you, balancing out both of their legs, so that they get paid. Another problem for you is that these contacts aren’t yours and they have no loyalty to you if something happens with the business down the road. Since you aren’t doing anything to build your weak leg, or a stronger leg, you aren’t likely to make very much money, if any at all. You could start recruiting people and build out your legs, so I don’t think it is a complete scam, but the offer is definitely misleading. The ones who do the work will always be the ones who make the money.

I will make you a similar offer, with a slight difference, if you will take a look at the company I am with. Join my team, tell other people about it, then get them in touch with me. If they join, they go in your team. There are several differences with my offer. First, the company I am with, Nikken, does not have a binary compensation plan. You have a team and you make money based on your performance and theirs. You do the first step in recruiting new people by getting them interested enough to talk to me, so they are your contacts and loyal to you, not me. You also learn how to do the business because you are an active participant, not someone sitting on the sidelines. It’s a bit of on-the-job training so that eventually you won’t have to depend on me as much and can make the same offer yourself to continue building your team.

Here are some links to help you with your due diligence.
