About MLM, Multi-level marketing or Networking

[chubbelita]

^my thoughts exactly. yung mga nakikita kong ibang mlm.. mas busy sa recruitment kesa magbenta ng products nila. kasi dun talaga sila kumikita

[o5m_m5o]

kaya kailangan gawin yun ng avon kasi wala silang unique selling proposition. meaning kahit saan ka magpunta makakabili k ng products na pedeng cheaper than avon or even better.

This makes me frown actually.

I was able to create 100k/mo businesses from
scratch and I can say that USP is the reason
for the successes of most businesses.

I can argue that USP is the only reason for
long-term success of any business.

I'm not in Avon, and I don't want to be involved
in it (syempre guy ako)..

But Avon has created some of the strongest
USPs there is.

I'll be blunt so that others can learn.

To someone who does not know how to place
value in a business, the easiest reaction is

"Nah, it doesn't work."

You see that everywhere not just in business.

Every successful person has people saying
negative things, things like,

"Sinwerte lang yan" or
"May kamag-anak kasi na __"
"Malakas kasi yan sa __"

To me, its most destructive not to the successful
one but to the one making the comment.

Avon is a multi Billion dollar company.

There is a reason for this.

And they have very strong USPs.

Hii there, nasa MLM company kasi ako, and boss ko yung nagpalaki ng avon sa asia pacific, ang alam ko kasi hindi siya MLM?? And balak palang nilang gawing MLM like nitong inestablish nyang company.:-)

[o5m_m5o]

One of the characteristics of MLM is being paid on
multiple levels of commissions.

Avon has that.

And Avon is categorized as MLM.

diba ang USANA considered MLM din po?

I am being offered to join here

[ms.primadonna]

Pero totoo po bang yung manager lang ang nakakakita ng structure? Tapos pwede ka lang din magrecruit sa place kung saan ka nag member? Wala kasi akong idea, sorry! Sabi ko nga new lang ako...

[ms.primadonna]

Basing sa complan ng usana like mr. o5m_o5m have said na one of the char of mlm is being paid on multi levels of commisons, usana is MLM.

Some tips kung mag join kayo sa MLM ...
1. Timing- pang ilan na ba yung pilipinas sa company na yan, kung marami na nyan sa other country, that is not good tiiming... Limited nalang downlines nyo.

2. Company - international ba yan? Kung local think many times... Yung iba kase nagsasara agad or nag iiba ng name
3. Management team - dapat alam nyo yung background nung mga tao behind the company, kung hindi yan credible aba maghanap ka nalang ng iba.xD

4. Products - magagamit ba yan ng lahat? Makakatulong ba yan sa kanila?  marami ba o isa lang ang product?

5. Complan- syempre dapat may safety net yung company, pag wala scam yan. May pang short term at long term income.:-)

6. Support system - di kayo pinapabayaan ng company, at mismong president kasama mo sa field.:-)

Wag din kayo mag kamada, short term income lang kasi. At baka ang company magsara agad.

subscribing...hubby & I recently joined First Vita Plus. bago lang din kami sa MLM world and I still have to read posts from page 1.

[gongju]

recently joined 1BRO.prepaid distributorship. sino pa po dito yung member ng 1bro?

[pastek898]

@primadonna,  thanks for answering my question. kasi sabi ng agent na naginvite sa akin, hindi naman "daw" siya networking (pero sa isip ko habang dinidiscuss niya yung company, it is a networking if you look at it in different angles).

Im still on the verge of thinking of joining kasi okay naman mga products nila. Im going to do extensive research pa. Thanks so much! Godbless!

[iamtsina]

I tried MLM few months back, but I think it's not for me.

[ms.primadonna]

@pastek898: oh?! Bat ganon ang intro niya? Nasa usana din kasi ang sister ko pero walang sinabi na hindi siya networking, hindi ba networking na yung pagrerecruit?? Kaya nga gumagawa ka ng network.hehe
Ok ang products ng usana, kaso lang konti nalang ang magiging network mo if ever, pang 42nd country na yata ang philippines.:-) mejo malaki din ang pay in.

[pastek898]

@ms.primadonna,   i dont have any idea bakit ganun po entry niya. yup, its a big money involved.
sige i-note ko po mga criteria na sinabi mo po in case i decide to join in a networking. thanks!

[sachagirl]

^^ pang 14th country un phil ng usana. 18 countries currently. maganda dito portable un business. so anywhere in the world basta may presence un usana pede k magtransact.

^networking ang usana pero u can opt not to do it. pedeng retailer k lang yun nga lang mababa lang kita at walang passive income in the future.

I don't believe in MLM. Why do I have to pay to help them move their product? Bakit yung avon naman direct selling din pero walang mem fee?

As also mentioned, di naman competitive sa market yung product. Overpriced kasi. Nag mamarket pa ng maling info about supplements. Yung iba, lahat na lang ng sakit magagamot na ng wheatgrass? C'mon.

Isa pa, shady recruitment practices. Bakit hindi pwede ibroadcast yung full details? No reason not to be transparent. Except gusto niyo muna macorner sa office niyo [textspeak!] recruits para mahiya tumanggi.

If the product is really good at naging successful na, why are we still not familiar with their products? Why haven't they moved on to trade marketing?

I agree with you 100%. Basta may mangulit sa kin about MLM, I run for the hills.

Ako naman matagal na akong nasa networking business. First Quadrant, Cf Welness, then yung isa i forgot ano yung name nung company. Lahat dun nag failed ako. Alam nyo kung bakit? Kasi medyo nahirapan ako dahil sa produkto. Naniniwala naman ako sa produkto, ang problema pag shinare mo na sa iba can't afford. Pag presyo na ang usapan. can't afford.
Then I joined Vmobile, i can say na dito sa vmobile andito yung success ko. Hindi pa ako mayaman, pero kumikita ako. Plus the product na hindi mahirap ibenta dahil tayo mismo matagal na nating ginagamit ang load. Sa ayaw at sa gusto natin kailangan natin mag load. Yung ibang tao, di baleng hindi makakain basta may pangload lang. But i don't advice not to eat syempre basta lang magkaload. Isa lang ang natutunan ko. Kailangan pala minsan isipin din natin kung ano ang in sa market.

Super ganda ng products ng usana, talagang talaga, i'm taking essentials, user lang ako though ako yung registered member, sister ko yung mismong nagrerecruit, one prob in usana DAW is yung complan, once yung reference leg mo eh kumikita na dun sa boundary nila, hanggang dun nalang din yung sa paying leg, which is the safety net, ok na may safety net ang company, pero masyado yatang maliit? (i can't remember kung how much). May ibang company kasi na kahit gaano kalaki yung reference leg, kung hanggang saan talaga umabot yung paying leg eh babayaran sayo ng company, yung buong reference leg mo hindi babayaran, kase yun na nga yung safety net, the reference leg is higher than the paying leg dapat. Yung iba naman may 7 heads, nadinig ko to so bus pero i will not mention the company, sa isip isip ko bakit ka mag 7 heads upon enrollment, eh isa lang katawan mo, how would you establish a good network kung lahat ng heads ay kukunin mo? Mas maganda yung slowly but surely, establish 2 legs muna IMO. para pag ok na sila at di na kailangan ng support and supervision, kikita na sila on their own and makakapagdagdag ka na naman ng another leg, then same ulit ng process.:-) sa products pa pala, how would you know na effective yung products? For example food supplements, may instant ba yun? On the spot hbang nagdidiscuss sayo yung distributor at pinatry sayo may good effect na agad? Ang experince ko sa food supplement talagang bumili muna ko. Eh pano kung hindi pala maganda ang effect sakin? Testimony lang naman kasi masasabi sa food supplement. Eh nakabili na ko, sayang pera kung hindi ako satisfied sa product. Eh kung nakita ko on the spit na maganda yung product? Baka hindi pa siya tapos mag explain bilin ko na yung product nung company. Much better kung bumili ako ng few products member na ko agad. Parang i hit two birds in one stone ba.:-)

Hindi ko masisisi yung iba dito na sobrang nega sa MLM. Actually nasa practices kasi yan ng distributors. Yung iba kasi wrong ABC, mali yung way ng inviting, pati closing hindi sincere.
Turn off talaga. Pero if you know how to do the business professionally kayang kaya mo
buhatin kahit negative pa yung clients.
