Thankfully, there are many surefire ways of telling if a company you're looking at joining is worth your time. So here is what to look for in a work from home business, in no particular order:
-1. Are they trying to hard-sell you like a used car salesman, or instead do they say that this business may not be for everyone? The more upfront they are the better the op, mainly because of the caliber of people you'll work with & the example they set. You can read volumes about a biz op by the people you would be joining and the integrity they show. Ensure the leaders in this company are of the highest integrity. Go up and shake their hand. Get a feel as to how they interact with "the little people." Use your gut feeling on this. If they feel "off" they probably are, but if they feel genuine, that they truly have your best interests at heart, then you definitely have a winner. Simply put, where we end up in life is largely determined by the quality what information we put in our head and the people we associate with, so surrounding yourself with people of integrity and success is an absolute must.
-2. Does it take you sponsoring the equivalent of the state of Rhode Island for you to replace your job income? What is the cost of the product compared to the commission? Many MLMs are guilty of this primarily because the way their system is set up; there isn't much money to give you upfront for your work. What you are looking for is a strong upfront commission (A good number is around 50%) coupled with a solid residual income to make your efforts worth your while both in the immediate AND long term.
-3. Is this company just another me-too biz op? How many people are selling something almost identical to what you're looking at? Nutritional supplements & juice companies are the biggest culprits here. Even though there are phenomenal businesses that sell high-quality juices and/or nutritional stuff, what the world sees is yet another juice company, and trying to convincingly educate people as to why your juice is better than XYZ brand's juice is like literally using your head to tear down the Berlin Wall. What positive thing truly separates this company from the rest? If you can pick something right off the bat you're on the right track.
-4. How much value is in the product if an opportunity were not attached to it? You need to find a product that can stand on its own with or without an opportunity attached to it. If people are willing to buy the product on its own you're on the right track. If possible take a sample and share with friends before even thinking of signing up in the business. This eliminates the fear of rejection since you're still an unbiased third party. Gauge their responses on the PRODUCT; do NOT talk about the business side of things, as few people will side with you on the biz op side being a good idea, regardless of what it is. (Side note: just because it's featured on the news doesn't mean it's a good product or business. I have personal experience on that one.)
-5. How does this company give back to those not in their company? Does it have a charity built into the biz-op that is transparent and (most importantly) can easily be tracked? This certainly adds to the integrity factor, and it's much easier to get behind a group of people who look to help others in need outside of their business.
-6. Is there a solid, proven, duplicatable marketing system that fits your needs? Does it teach you how to market and attract people using both traditional AND online marketing? Usually, the company itself doesn't provide you with this (though they have SOME marketing materials to use); this is (almost) always created and provided by the team that you would sign up with. You need a system that teaches you how to generate quality leads, and shows you the most up-to-date methods of attracting leads, online AND offline. The wider the net you cast the more you can catch. The best system you can find is one that has a group of people that call people on your behalf that do all the complicated telling and selling for you. This informs your prospects far better than you might be able to on your own, and it also let your prospect know THEY won't have to do all the selling and telling; it's all done for you! There is a place for 1-on-1 sales, but if that is your primary method of business then you are surely taking the long route, and it may on its own send the wrong message to those you want to bring into your business. 1.4 Billion people have internet access. If the team you're looking to join doesn't take advantage of actively marketing to the internet crowd it is behind the times, and it's time to look for a team that does.
-7. Do you have a knowledgeable support network to help you figure all this stuff out? Let's face facts, this is a brand new skillset that few people have right from the start, and even the best laid plans and training can be confusing to those of us that are just getting started. Having an experienced guide, someone who has actively put this training to use with great success, is absolutely vital to your success. At the very least it will help to quickly replace a steep learning curve with a steep earning curve. (Note: it is important to have a guide, but it is also important to study the system on your own as well. Guides help those who help themselves; they cannot build your business for you. The system will provide the answers, and if you get lost and confused your guide will be there to give you perspective to help you understand the answers so you can implement them more effectively.)
For all those asking themselves "Are there legal real work from home jobs out there I can truly depend on?" there is hope at last. Now more and more companies are realizing the more honest they play the game, the more real they are with the people who sign on with them, the more everyone prospers. And if you follow these simple steps, and as long as you are willing to be persistent in doing the necessary work to get the results, then nothing can stop you from achieving the success you desire and living the life of your dreams.
