Is there a way to do MLM successfully, without contacting friends/acquaintances, or telemarketing strangers?

   I go with leads from friends and family. That is the best way. My service always seems to pop up in a conversation, so it is pretty simple to do. I do not like approaching strangers or cold calling myself. Also, get into a networking group in oyur area, that may help too!

   you’ll probably be looking for a goodly length of time.

   the only possible product, imho, that can sustain the more costly MLM distribution model [the total of commission paid exceeds the entire product markup plus profit of major retailers] is one that is exclusive to the MLM outfit and has NO look-alike or near competitors.

   that nearly certainly implies a patented product … anything not patentable can be easily replicated somewhere.

   AND, it has to be a product that really fills a consumer need in an area that is not otherwise filled.

   Look around. MLM companies like AVON and such are not visable, are they? A excellent product is sold by a excellent company with a structure, u will always need ur own car and insurance, etc. for thses sorts so the upchannel doesn’t pay ur expenses. So u really work for someone else, they get the profits. Besises MLM takes time and u have to like the product or service without restraint and be a cheerleader too.

   1st develop a customer and client base so u have a positive cash flow base every month and quarter. read Guerrilla Marketing.
   know there are 2 types of people – ones u know and ones u don’t. if u have a product that gets u results question ‘who do u know that this may help cause it helped me do this’. excellent client development produces folks who believe in the products and say so. those folks develop their own client base expanding ur group locally and nationally. learn to question eliminating question to get rid of riffraff. work as u had a solid business and u’ll succeed.
   touch base and i’ll get u some reference sites that avoid me know.
   remember in a job u make the other boss wealthy, in this stituation u are the boss.
   most folks don’t know networking is in every company they just call it something else.

   Absolutely! Join business networking groups to build relationships with people so they get to know you and what you do. Most of all, you better know your product and company and be passionate about who you represent. If you don’t …find another company. People will not buy from you if you don’t believe in what you are doing.
