Network Marketing Success – Take It Away!

Now that you know something about compensation plans (see How to Choose a Network Marketing Company, Episode 4, and also Network Marketing: Compensation Plans), how would you interpret this:

"We’re raising the bar! " This means that beginning January 1, 2007 to qualify for the mid month bonus you’ll have to have $500.00 instead of $400.00 in retail volume.

Same company, great products – Ask yourself, where does the breakage go? To the distributors? No – to the company. Notice how this was positioned – "raise the bar", as if it were a challenge. It’s a challenge, all right! It will be more challenging to qualify for the bonus. Does it sound like smoke and mirrors to you? I see it as taking away from the distributor. How does that contribute to network marketing success?

If that were not enough, another January take-away for the same company will be the free product that for years came with the autoship. At least autoship will still have the 20% discount on certain of the autoship products, according to the company. You may ask yourself, how long will that last? This is not the first time the company has "raised the bar" on this bonus, as well as increasing the levels for various qualifications in rank. Still a great company, still great products – but what’s the next take-away?

It makes you wonder, doesn’t it, if the company has the management and experience for the growth it’s experiencing? If there’s such growth, why the take-away? Two possible reasons are greed by the management and miscalculation on the costs of the growth – back to management experience.

Wouldn't you think that network marketing success for the average, part-time networker would be better served by adding to the compensation, rather than taking away? After all, the affiliates built the company, not the management. Are there companies out there that actually add rather than take-away? Yes.

Reminding you to read and understand your policies and procedures and compensation plans so that you can have network marketing success –
