MLM Indusrty in Intensive Care – Resuscitating Your Business with Top Tier Direct Sales
The Internet has helped millions
of people all over the world find business opportunities to earn money while
selling a product they can believe in. There are hundreds of products created
each year and very often the only way to purchase them is through network
marketers. In our previous article, we talked about the multi-level marketing
(MLM) business model. Although the Internet seemed the perfect vehicle to help
businesses grow, it is actually the main reason the MLM industry is in intensive care.
Thousands of team leaders, who spent their time building networks and training
their distributors, have found that their profits have all but disappeared.
They went from having a
self-sustaining down line to constantly rebuilding. MLM’s are all about
relationships. Successful team leaders mentor their distributors, teach them
how to be successful and help them create new distributors of their own. Before
the Internet, people understood that it took work, time and patience to be
profitable. MLM in intensive care is in part due to the tremendous amounts of
information available to the public at large. There is hype about new products
every day. Email campaigns are focused on offering the opportunity to get in on
the ground floor, to make the big money.
The basis for much of MLM
marketing used to be by word of mouth. When the Internet came along, cheap
email campaigns were effective. As the public has been deluged with more and
more of these emails, they have become jaded. Leads that used to be hot have
gone cold. New rules about spamming have prevented the type of mass emails that
used to garner results. Now campaigns need to be targeted to a specific
audience to be effective. MLM in intensive care came to be because campaigns
that used to be effective and inexpensive no longer work and have become very
expensive.
Many network marketers are moving
away from the MLM indusrty and are using funded proposals to create a steady revenue
stream while they focus on top tier direct sales. As more people leave
established networks, the more MLM in intensive care. With top tier direct
sales, people are dependent on themselves to make the sale, not an ineffective
down line that may be strong today, but dry up tomorrow. Distributors can still
find and sell a product they believe in, but only need to sell a few products a
month to be as profitable as they were with a network, selling thousands of
products.

2. Net interest income and non-interest income need to thought of.
3. Loan loss provisioning.
4. Coverage ratio.
5. Cost of funds.
6. ROA, ROE
7. NPA
8. Deposits and advances.
9. Capital adequacy ratio
10. Tier 1, Tier 2 capital consideration.
11. Leverage, loan book value
12. LIBOR, SLR, CRR
There are many more. And even in the ones above, it’s pretty hard to value a bank.
