TAKE A SECOND LOOK AT YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION
While many of us are examining possible business opportunities, especially on the Internet, we have traditionally given a wide berth to anything that looks like it might be called 'network marketing.'
But you may be missing some really valid money-making options, and it may be time to take a second look at that bad first impression.
In many ways, owning your own typical business - whether it is a traditional 'brick-n-mortar' company or an online enterprise -- has become complicated and expensive. The owner often ends up with a low paying job and long, thankless hours. I've heard it said that the average entrepreneur earns about three dollars an hour, on average. Is that what you want for yourself?
Yet 185,000 people in North America are joining the networking movement every week. Can that many people be that wrong? According to a recent article in Time Magazine, "Network marketers will make more money in the next two years than in the auto, travel and computer industries COMBINED!"
Hmmm... what are we missing here? Let's take a look at the 'upside,' the positive aspects that may be inherent in network marketing opportunities that may not be present in traditional business start-ups.
First of all, there's usually a minimum of paperwork. In traditional business, many of us are drowning in paper, in spite of all the claims that we are nearing a 'paperless society.' Just the state and federal licenses, applications, and tax forms we have to fill out, alone, can be pretty daunting!
Secondly, in many network marketing opportunities, particularly online, there is no inventory that has to be tracked, stored or shipped - traditionally a headache for many offline businesses. Even if the business doesn't involve an information product (for example, an ebook), many are set up now so that any product
shipping is done directly from the manufacturer, or from one source - while the distributor (ie., the 'network marketer') gets the credit.
Can't beat that!
The next benefit worth considering, when it comes to looking at potential network marketing opportunities, follows on the last. If you don't have to deal directly with inventory management, you also don't have to worry about 'handling' headaches, or returned merchandise from an inevitable unhappy customer. In many cases now, these problems are dealt with directly by a head office or warehouse, leaving you free to do what you do best - the sales and marketing aspects.
Even those tasks seem to be getting easier in network marketing circles. Many companies now provide their distributors, or 'downlines,' with substantial leads - whether they employ lead generation software, or simply have others making the 'front-line' contacts (phone calls, etc) first. This means that you no longer have to spend hours on the phone, cold-calling prospects, or harassing your friends to sign up.
An additional benefit of some networking opportunities includes the company back-up and support that is so often missing in the fast-paced environment of corporate business today. Many network marketing companies have learned the hard way to make outstanding training opportunities and myriad resources available to folks who sign up, in order to keep good sales people.
In short, the next time you hear or read about a 'network marketing' opportunity that seems like it might suit you, don't dismiss it out of hand. There may be more advantages than you thought -- so give your first impression a second look.
