Find a mentor. You want someone that can share the roadmap and tools they used to besuccessful. Someone who has a system. Someone who already has the results you are looking for. This has to be someone who is willing to listen to your needs and actually cares about your success
Next you want to make sure the team you are working with has a Turnkey Marketing System that allows you to draft off the already proven success of a Top Leader. A fool proof system that ANYONE can plug into and get instant results with. If you have to sink or swim to figure out your own lead generation or if the company relies on recruiting family or friends, or purchased leads, RUN. RUN FAST! If you don't have a reliable way of getting quality prospects in front of what you are offering you cannot be successful long term. The system should also replace most of the redundant and boring things that cause most people to fail. Turnkey marketing systems that actually are proven to work are difficult to find. This is usually the weak link.... Look closely.
ok For Growing Markets and Mega-Trends. The next level of wealth is exploding off the Internet. Are you ready to exploit trends like YouTube, MySpace and FaceBook? Make sure that the products being sold are legitimate stand alone products, products that would sell themselves if on a shelf in a store etc. Most network marketing and direct sales companies out there are built around the compensation plan and NOT a stand alone product. If what you are marketing is NOT a stand alone product, you will have a hard time building residual income and a stable business as most people will not be able to duplicate what you are doing and your attrition will be huge.
A Franchise-Like System -With Manual; Without The Big Franchise-Like Fees. One way to tell if the products are viable is to see what percentage of the products sold are retail sales. If people are only buying the products to be able to turn around and sell them to other recruits, beware. This is so critical. Beside who doesn't want to be proud of what they're selling. There are enough legitimate companies marketing legitimate products out there. Find one that feels right to you!
Make Sure You Get a Marketing System that ANYONE can Duplicate. There are a lot of great companies with great products out there, but if you don't have a reliable way to market them, you're not going to make any real money. The system should also replace most of the redundant and boring things that cause most people to fail.
Find a company where you don't have to do any personal selling or explaining. Make sure there is a team of people in place to do this for you. You should have an entire team of people to support you. I always give my new people a spreadsheet with at least 30 leaders contact information on it to make sure there is lot's of support accessible in case I can't be reached.
Learn to trust your gut. If you feel good about what you're doing. Great pursue it with everything you have. If you are leery and can't get straight answers about products, services or systems, RUN! They aren't telling you the whole story and only want your money.
