Does Momentum exist in Network Marketing?

When I first became involved in Network Marketing, there was a lot of hype about “timing”. I remember being shown graphs and slides depicting the growth of “every company in Network Marketing” and being told that our company was “pre-momentum”.  They went on to tell us that now is the best time go get it since we would all benefit from the global growth of the company. All we needed to do was hang on to our autoship until momentum hits and we’d all be rich.

What a load of crap.

Do not be fooled.  Momentum is a marketing tool used in order to recruit distributors. People need to know that it is risky to join an MLM in the beginning stages since there are always growing pains. Compensation plans often change affecting paychecks and downlines. Products are often unproven and untested. Upline systems are fluctuating and sometimes they haven’t even been established.  Lawsuits may arise and can devastate a growing company. There are even problems with a company growing too fast and not keeping up with demand as well as expanding into different countries without proper approval and being shutdown and dismantled.

Let me be clear.

You can start a Network Marketing business at ANY time and build it successfully.

It is far more important to research and find a company that is doing well and growing at a reasonable rate. The products should virtually sell themselves. Your upline support team should be in line with your morals and business practices. They also need to be responsive and supportive.

Network Marketing is a sales and marketing business. It is about moving product through your organization.

As long as there is demand for your product you can be successful. You simply have to learn how to continue to attract new customers.

If you’d done your job and you’ve been marketing and promoting, then you will have a constant stream of people that are interested in purchasing your product. This is your system. If you can keep track of your sales statistics as well as your marketing programs, then you can teach these sales and marketing strategies to others. As long as supply (salespeople promoting the same product) doesn’t overtake the demand (people who are purchasing your product) then you can continue to recruit and earn an income.

Something to think about.
