The Birth Of A Network Marketing Company

Written by: Andy Acciaioli

Article Overview: You may get invited to join in the various stages leading up to the pre-launch of a network marketing company. Unless you are prepared to lose time, effort and money invested in it, you should wait until that network marketing company officially launches.

The Birth Of A Network Marketing Company

Recently I received an invitation to join a new network marketing company. It wasn't actually launched yet but I was told that I could reserve one of the top positions right now before they entered their pre-launch phase. Pre-launch phase? If this wasn't their pre-launch phase, what was it?

I was told that they were about to enter their alpha phase and then they would go on to their beta phase. Now if all was going according to plan, they would then enter their pre-launch phase.

My immediate thought: are they insane?

The product, I was told, would be a nutritional fruit juice. Just what we needed, another nutritional drink. The network marketing industry has around 4,800 network marketing companies. Of these, around 2,000 market health and wellness products. I seriously question whether the market needs another kick-a-poo joy juice entrant.

But this business of alpha test and beta test before they enter their pre-launch stage is ridiculous. And, in my opinion, puts reps in a precarious position that the network marketing will be born and its product will actually be brought to distribution. Think of how foolish we would look if we brought our groups with us to such a company and they failed to launch.

There is nothing wrong with getting involved with a relatively new and probably unknown network marketing company. This may present a great opportunity for you as they eagerly want to get off the ground and realize that in order for the company to succeed, their reps must succeed.

Steer clear of network marketing companies who are in the various launching stages unless you are prepared to lose your money, time and energy invested.

P.S. Just checked my Twitter account (AndyAcci for those who want to connect on with me on Twitter). Guess what I found? An invitation to pre-enroll in a pre-launch of a travel network marketing company. No thanks. I don't expect this person to know that I spent 18 years in the travel industry. BUT I do expect this person to know the current state of the economy as it impacts and suppresses travel.

Why do people hate Network Marketing / MLM? - I've been looking at a number of different opportunities and end up meeting a lot of Network Marketing / Multi-Level Marketing people. Some of the offers look interesting but everyone I talk to about it says to avoid these guys like the plague - what's the deal? Why do people hate network marketers and MLM people so much? Is it not legit?
Re: MLM Marketing, youtube, and buzzirk mobile. - I have experience with MLM too. My initial reaction to the business was "snake-oil salesman" but once I got to understand the "overall business model" I am now an advocate to it. MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) is also known as Network Marketing. I realized an MLM business is no different than any other business. One needs to focus on both words "Network" and "Marketing" and give both equal respect. Some people focus heavily on the Networking part but forget "Marketing". I've started to use Building on a Budget and Magnetic Sponsoring concepts in my NM business and have found that people don't get involved so much because of the product but more because of what you bring to the table as far as marketing systems and support. I have both products listed in my signature. you don't have to buy it as the link to the free videos itself provides you a good understanding of what is required to position yourself as my above paragraph. If you do plan on purchasing it I can tell you that the measly $40 will open your eyes BUT your upline will not be too happy (atleast in the short term) beacuse the system is not duplicateable. I wrote this post as a polar post to Bulmer's reply as I have exhausted the friends and family networking and realized i never really focused on marketing. My leads now are more qualified and open to hearing about my opportunity than the other way around. my 2 cents if you plan on growing an MLM or Networking Marketing business.
Network Marketing Business - Hello all, Recently, I had join a Network Marketing Business on a part-time basis. Does anyone here who has some knowledge on this type of business? I want to learn as fast as I can from all the gurus here
10 best franchises to get involved - My advice is: 1) Go to the library and start reading business books (accounting, finance, etc.) 2) Go to your local community college and enroll in night classes 3) Join the local Chamber of Commerce 4) Network / Network / Network -- through the above sources. Once you have spent two years doing the above, then look for a 55 - 60 year old business person that is looking to reduce their time in the business. Then you can work on a sweetheart financing option.
Re: answer this question - This is a good topic. I haven't done anything, yet, to seriously damage my business. I did shift gear though. It was the best decision I ever made. For me, affiliate marketing was not working. Making the switch to Network Marketing made all the difference.
