Pillar #1 of Five

Remember the apple pie?

The first key ingredient is a pie plate.

In MLM, the Five Pillars are what a company needs to
have in place for the distributors to succeed. Many
folks search for something like the “Top Ten MLM
Companies” when looking for something to join.

This is OK if You are looking to invest. But, if You
want to be a distributor, then You need to dig a bit
deeper. For example, the number one MLM did over six
billion dollars in sales last year, but most of their
distributors are starving.

A Five Pillar Company is one where the average person
can achieve above average results.

This week we’ll look at Pillar #1.

Pillar 1: Does the company management have personal
experience building their own networking organization?
Have they done it with Integrity?

• Search Google for the owners of the company.

• Do the owners have Integrity? Add the word ‘Scam’
to your search.

• Do the owners have a Corporate background or an
in-the-field Network Marketing background?

• Read your “Policies & Procedures” and “Terms &
Conditions”; both are part of your Legal Contract.

• Look for the word “Ongoing”.

• Look for policies that strike you as
“Unreasonable”. Like “Termination, with or without
cause”.

• Ask yourself “Does this contract protect me or the
company?” “Is it clear which way it leans?”

• Does the company charge you for training or a
company web site?

• Does the company charge you for each paycheck they
send you?

• Rules of Thumb:

• The longer the contract, the greater the
possibility that the policies important to you
are being hidden in “Legalese”!

• If it’s a “Cash Only” business…It’s a Scam!

• If you can buy a position at the top…It’s a
Scam!

• If you are offered a “Special Deal”…the
playing field isn’t level for all.

• If the products are sold on eBay at a greatly
reduced price…Buy there instead.

• If a company is publicly traded, Financial
Decisions Will be made in Favor of the
Stockholders at the Expense of the
Distributors.
