Network Marketing – Success Point 9 – The Right Time and Position
Point NINE of The 12 Points to a Successful Network Marketing Company.
The Right Timing and Positioning!
This doesn’t necessarily mean being at the very top in a brand new company, although that can help. Even if you are one of the first distributors in a new company, the likelihood of that company surviving is low. (See the other 11 points of this blog). The key to timing and positioning is being in the right company, at the right time, with a proven group that is proactively growing and supporting. SINCERELY ask yourself the following question about positioning:
Is my enrolling distributor and group going to help me and others succeed or are they going to enroll me and move on?
If your company pushes a big buy-in or tiered compensation based on buy-in, then watch out! This can foster the shotgun “enroll only” mentality. If your compensation plan is based on short-term enroll and grow a few levels, this almost forces the “enroll and no support” tactics.
Here is another VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION!
What is the growth/enrolling strategy of your upline? Do they really understand how to help you maximize the compensation plan for long-term residual rewards? ASK!
For example: In a binary compensation plan…do they understand power leg and depth strategies or do they just regurgitate the “WE ARE EXCITED AND DOING THIS” mentality they got at the last rally?
Do they have proven processes to follow or do they just give you a compensation plan and say, “All you have to do is enroll this many, they enroll this many, and KABLAM…you are set!”
Any good business has strategies and processes that help you maximize your efforts. This is why positioning is so important! Do not fall into a company just becuase it has a great product or comp plan. YOU MUST HAVE THE RIGHT TEAM, TIMING, AND POSITION.
Network Marketing is difficult if not impossible to make huge money in BY YOURSELF. You need a collective effort and synergy. That is why they call it NETWORK marketing. Get it the right network. If you are in a dead network…move on…save yourself the time, money, and agony.

[...] Success Point 9 in my Next Blog: “The Right Timing and Positioning.” [...]
What a great website this is, very informative and a lot of great information. You make some excellant points and your “YOU MUST HAVE THE RIGHT TEAM, TIMING, AND POSITION” is so right on but I’d also like to add that all thought team, timing and position are extremely important I also think that the company, products/services, training and a great duplicatable marketing system is as important. Thanks.
Thanks for your comments. I agree 110% with you that there is so much more than just the right time and position. In my other 11 points I discuss those things mentioned. Company, product, marketing, etc… I write this blog primarily due to companies in the MLM world that do things wrong and/or unethically. This constitutes the majority of MLM companies. Residual promise is a thing of the past for most MLM executives as they build and sell their MLM companies like any other company out there. Thanks again for your comments.
