2. A Quick Story
I know you’re here because you want some inf ormation about how to choose the right MLM
Company.
I’m going to get to that in just a minute, so don’t hit the back button just yet.
Bef ore I get to that, if you can give me about 2 minutes of your time, I’m going to tell you a
short story that will have a big impact on your lif e…IF you heed the message.
Once upon a time there was a kid. 20 year old actually. T his kid had a f riend whose brother
had been a broke, down on his luck basketball coach 3 years earlier. Now this brother was
making six f igures a month with a business opportunity.
T he 20 year old kid joined the company, made a little money, but he was too late. Everybody
was already in.
T he ex-basketball coach was making $1.6 million per month 2 years later, but that was only
because he got in early.
T here were people who got in af ter the 20 year old kid that went on to make 5 f igures per
month, but that was only because their markets weren’t saturated yet.
T he kid tucked his tail between his legs and f inished college. Had some kids of his own and
got a regular J.O.B. (Jump outta bed).
A f ew years went by and another great opportunity popped up. T his time he was a little more
savvy. Prof essional.
But it turned out to be a bad deal anyway. He thought this was T HE ONE because he
personally knew the owner of the company. But the owner wanted to help everyone else

3. succeed except f or him. T he owner even helped one guy in Arkansas earn over $100,000 per
months. Clearly the owner played f avorites.
T he kid (now a man but honestly never really grew up ) swore of f the Network Marketing
Prof ession.
He got into traditional sales where he would get paid directly f or what he did each day.
It kind of sucked that if one of his kids needed him f or something, he had to choose between
being a Dad or getting paid.
It was no f un to be threatened with cancelled f amily vacations if he didn’t hit his sales quotas.
But MLM didn’t work because you would always be a day late, or somehow cheated by T HE
MAN. And that was that.
Until a f ew years later.
T he Sales Prof essional lif e had been up and down. It was taking a toll on him and his f amily in
many ways.
Stress. Poor health. Anger. Resentment.
Have you ever had any of these issues af f ecting you? Maybe they are troubling you right now
…
Kind of out of nowhere, someone tricked him into trying MLM again.
A f riend of his sneakily of f ered him a product, which happened to be quite good.
Almost by accident, he started making some nice part-time income sharing this product with
others.
But accidental success usually doesn’t stick.

4. 13 months later, everything boiled over.
T he kid/man lost his job.
He was down to his last $62, with no savings, no credit cards, and 3 kids to f eed.
For 13 months he had continued to use these MLM products, because he liked them. T hey
helped him.
But he hadn’t really worked the business f or a number of reasons.
It was too late.
T he market was saturated.
Leadership played f avorites.
T hey were doing it all wrong.
He was stubborn.
He was stubborn.
He was stubborn.
Maybe that was it…
4 months later, this man was earning a f ull-time income f rom home through the vehicle of
Network Marketing. Not f rom sales, tools, or a constant daily grind. A true residual income
f rom building a vast network of distributors.
Now several years later, that income continues to f low and grow. He and his f amily now go on
vacation 4-5 times a year and enjoy a brand new Mercedes Benz paid f or by the company.

5. In case you haven’t f igured it out, that guy and his f amily are near and dear to my heart. You
may even be able to f ind his picture on this website .
Choosing the right MLM Company
I promised you inf ormation about how to choose the right MLM company, so here it is.
If you paid close attention to the above story, I already dropped in several clues.
The Leadership
T he most important thing about a Leader is that he/she is someone that you will enjoy
f ollowing. If something doesn’t seem to click between you and leadership f rom day one, f ollow
your gut.
T here are a lot of companies out there, so choose one where you will be comf ortable.
If this is the right opportunity f or you, then you should expect to be involved f or YEARS. T hat
should excite you. If it doesn’t, then keep looking.
Good leaders have been there bef ore. Good leaders are f air.
Do you know what f air is? Fair is helping the ones who deserve it.
People don’t earn six f igures a month because leadership helps them. People get help f rom
leadership because they have earned six f igures per month. Earned it. Not that you have to be
a million dollar earner to get support f rom leaders. T he point is that there is no f ree ride.
The Company
Wow. T his may sound crazy, but to a large degree the company itself doesn’t matter much.
Is it something that you will f eel good about doing?
Can you see yourself on stage at this company’s events in a f ew months, gushing about how

6. much you love it?
Listen. Do you hear the crowd buzzing? Are you excited?
Again, there are a lot of companies out there. Find one that hits all of your buttons and roll
with it.
Otherwise, it will start to f eel like a JOB. You don’t want another job, do you?
One small point is that you might want to f ind a company that has been around f or a while. A
f ew years anyway.
Many seemingly good ideas f ail f or all kinds of reasons.
It can be extremely f rustrating to pour all of your energy into a company, only to have the plug
pulled.
So f ind a company that has been around f or a little while at least. Proven. Some buzz in the
air.
Ground f loor sounds awesome, but is only best a small f raction of the time.
T he early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese, right?
The Products
T his is a bit of a sticking point f or me. Some people will tell you that the products don’t matter.
T here is some truth to that.
If you don’t mind jumping f rom company to company every couple of years.
Which to me, is like being back in a sales job.
Which is ok f or some people. Is it ok with you?
PDFmyURL.com

7. Which is ok f or some people. Is it ok with you?
Or do you want to earn money f orever because you have an ever growing, living breathing
network of distributors buying and sharing your products day af ter day?
Month af ter month.
Year af ter year.
Your company needs to have products that you would purchase for the same price
elsewhere.
If your products are marked up above a reasonable market price, RUN.
T his model cannot last. Some people trick themselves into thinking that it’s ok if the products
cost too much as long as the business opportunity attached is amazing.
Here’s a news f lash f or you. T he business opportunity won’t stay amazing f or very long if the
products are over-priced.
It isn’t necessary, but it helps if your company’s products are unique.
Holding marketing rights to a f airly priced, high demand product that can’t be purchased
elsewhere is a pretty good recipe f or success.
The Compensation
T he type of compensation plan doesn’t matter much. T here are many dif f erent types of plans
that have proven very successf ul over the years.
Here’s what I would look f or when evaluating compensation.
1) Is it f air?
Does it pay out decent amounts to newbies, mid-level leaders, and rock stars?
PDFmyURL.com

8. If the pay plan is f air and balanced then you can trust it f or the long haul.
2) Is it reasonable?
What percentage does the company pay out to the f ield? My company pays 50% of revenue to
the f ield every week, plus has a prof it pool f or top leaders. T his is f air, because you have to
leave room f or cost of doing business, and a reasonable prof it f or the owners. If the owners
aren’t prof iting, how sustainable is the company?
As a rule of thumb, somewhere between a 40% and 60% payout is reasonable.
Anything less, and you might have greedy owners or a low-margin product. Either of these are
a red f lag f or long-term success.
Anything more, and you hit the gold mine, right?
Not exactly.
If 40%-60% is reasonable, why would a company payout 70% or more?
T he goodness of their heart??
If you are able to pay out that high of a percentage, then you must have a pretty unique, high
margin product, right?
Let me ask you this. If you have such a unique, high margin product, does it make any sense
f rom a business standpoint to pay more commissions that the industry standard?
Extremely high payouts may be a sign of some type of money game or pyramid.
It’s a f ree country and I wouldn’t tell anyone what to do with their money, but tread lightly.
3) Are people getting paid?
PDFmyURL.com

9. Sounds pretty basic, right? T he company that I represent has paid commissions like clockwork
every Friday f or several years. Nothing will start the unraveling of a network f aster than a f ew
late (or missed) checks.
The System
T his is where the rubber meets the road.
I wasn’t a big believer in systems f or years. I’ve always been sort of an against the grain kind
of guy.
But in a prof ession that is all about going against the grain, doesn’t it make sense to go with
the grain, at least f or this prof ession?
Isn’t using a system in MLM actually going against the grain compared to the rest of the world?
If reading that made you dizzy, hold onto your seat .
Af ter being introduced to this industry by a millionaire in 1994, and struggling to ever have any
real and lasting success, I f inally bought into the concept of f ollowing a system in 2010.
All that a system really involves is f ollowing a plan of action that has already been proven
successf ul.
It’s either that, or come up with your own system and hope it works.
One of my upline leaders was a middle school teacher who had never been involved in business
of any kind in 2008 when he was introduced to our company.
His mentor taught him a simple system.
He f ollowed the system totally and completely.
He f ollowed the system so well, that he actually passed up his mentor in rank and earnings

10. (one of the other cool things about Network Marketing).
In only his 4th calendar year in Network Marketing, starting f rom scratch with nothing but a
simple, proven, duplicatable system, this leader’s organization produced sales revenue f or our
company of $50 million dollars.
4 years in business.
$50 million.
Let that sink in a bit.
What makes more sense to you? Re-inventing the wheel?
Or f ollowing a simple, proven success system that has worked time and time again?
Whatever company you are considering, make certain that there is a system in place that will
ensure your success, granted you take the appropriate actions.
