Tired of the Pre-Launch Nonsense

Have you seen all this stuff in your email and on Twitter about all of the new MLM companies in pre-launch? The Trump Network, Evolv, and YOUnique Wealth are three of them that I know a little bit about. Pre-launch means that these companies haven’t officially launched yet, so they are untried business opportunities with untried products.

This all makes me so glad that I’m with a time-tested company like Nikken that has been around for 35 years. When I started my business 3 years ago I knew that I was promoting a product with an established track record of helping people get real benefits.

Most of the new business opportunities that I have heard about in the past 6 months or so are selling new nutritional products, and they all say that they are going to revolutionize wellness. The reality is that some of them will stick and others won’t. The biggest challenge that these companies will face is that there are so many other nutrition-based network marketing companies already here, and more entering the game all the time. Nikken has an organic, wholefood-based nutritional line that I think is excellent. I don’t put a lot of effort in marketing it though because the nutrition market is so flooded with other products, and it isn’t what makes Nikken stand out anyway.

If you are looking to start a new business, you will have more success with a company with something unique, something that stands out from the crowd. Don’t get me wrong, I like nutritional supplements and I think they are absolutely critical, especially with all of the noise going on about the various flu strains running about. No matter what they say about it being new and revolutionary, a new nutritional drink is still a nutritional drink.

If you want a business that has withstood the test of time and does stand out from the crowd, take a look at Nikken. There isn’t another company like them.

Prospecting on Social Networks

The social network sites like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and a bunch of sites that have been created on the Ning network are great places to find new prospects and leads for a home-based business.  The problem I see is that most of the prospectors are just spamming everyone they meet with their product and opportunity.

I recently joined a site and my comment space was almost immediately blasted with everyone else’s opportunity.  Barely a mention of common social niceties like “how are you today” or “welcome to the site”.

I don’t think it is entirely the fault of the spammer.  In MLM people are taught that if you encounter a person who has a pulse then they are obligated to vomit their business opportunity all over them, which is unfortunate because the end result is that most people just get chased away.

A better, and more successful way to use the social network sites is to make friends first.  Take time to find out about who they are and what they are looking for.  Not everyone you meet is going to be right for your business opportunity.  They might be a future customer or joint venture partner though, and you will only find that out by getting to know them first.

So, if you are a network marketer looking to use the social networks to build your business,  don’t mention your business opportunity in your first contact with someone.  Just welcome them, say hello, and wish them a great day.  You will have more success.
