How to choose a good MLM Company?

[email protected], I believe you have strong reason to say as such. Tell us why MLM is not good. Why not you try to convince me instead making a statement...

[email protected] SG

either way, I won’t be buying from any MLM. woe betide any friends who try to get me to buy stuff from them on account of me being their friend. The last thing i want is my friends stuffing rubbish at me. hear “MLM” only, already turned off.

chunyong,

you are right. we need to "walk the talk". it's either they are not following the systems or the is no system to follow.

well, did u ever wonder dat those 'on top' also have people on top of them, they also start from the bottom. its a climb-the-ladder game. if u really go all out to promote the products, u will get more incentive or so. no doubt whoever roped u in will rip abit of the profit but for Amway, the guy above u gets paid by Amway and ur profits stays 100% with u, not siphoned at all by those on top.

I am not promoting Amway MLM scheme or wat, just to bring to u all the fact dat MLM is no easy get-rich-quickly scheme, u got to have wide social circle in order to get ur products out and.....the products got to be good in the first place. no point people buy liao, realised its rubbish and u can be sure they won't get any orders from u anymore and it do have a domino effect.

So 1 word, if u like the products and the company offer MLM scheme, no harm taking it as u will can buy the products cheaper for own use, u benefit and even if u dun wanna go promote the products its ok too. Smile you got to like the products 1st....dats very the important. u gonna convince urself b4 u can convince others. Smile

Sell ur products but dun always try to get them to sign member, if they realise that the product is good, they will sign member so dat they can get the products at a cheaper price and they will advertise for u. its a win-win situation....if u just wanna line ur pocket with $ quickly, u will not go very-the-far.

Amway now delivers the stuff to ur door FOC if u order more then S$150 at a time. You can also collect ur stuff from Singpost now, think the minimum is 50 bucks of products or so...not so sure. I personally feel dat Amway's way of doing things (not relating to MLM) is very good. With regards to MLM...no comments still.

Accela,

I didn't misunderstand u, trust me. I read those books long before I joined MLM. I left the bank 2 years back, fed up with the work, day in day out, beside the future in banking is in the rocks. I joined the oil and gas company and when on looking of other opportunities but I'm never interested in any MLM business. One day I saw and advertisement on TV about this book and a short interview on Robert T Kiyosaki. What Robert said really disturb me and went on the net and ordered the books from Amazon.com worth about US$200.

The first 3 books I've recommended have nothing much to do with MLM, probably 5 percent but I've ignore whatever he said about MLM. Furthermore, It's not the MLM part I want you read, It talks about business and investment, which is what you are recommending to everyone here. I personally don't feel that it's right for anyone to recommend business and investment when one is half cooked. These books actually open up my mind on the "Employee Syndrome" and how we are programmed to work employer. In rich dad poor dad, it tells the story of his 2 dad's. What I can say, a lot of people have the poor dad mentality, it only that we never thought about and by the time we realise it, we are deep sh*t.

In Retire Young Retire Rich, the questions "Why should we let the age 55/60 determine our retirement? Should it be us who determine when we should retire? Why can it be 25, 30, 40?" This show us the option we have if we want to retire young and rich. Do you know what is the most important influence on our retirement? .................. MONEY. Where and how to find? This book will show you.

In Cash Flow Quadrant, it tells you the 4 quadrant, Employee, Self Employed, Business and Investment. When you say business, what do you mean? Small business or big business? In smal business, yeah you are your own boss. Nothing wrong...but let me ask you this "You own the business or the business own you?". Think about it seriously. Can you afford to close shop on holidays? Maybe 3-4 days a year. Is that what you want? On investment, a lot of things to to learn from Robert. I thought I know a lot but I didn't know much at all.

The fourth book, Business School, I read it months after joining MLM. It tells you why MLM is a misunderstood industry and what is good about MLM. Why I recommended this book? it because you have such a negative view of MLM. I can tell all the good things about MLM but still you think its rubbish. Simply you would say I'm in MLM so I will only say good things about MLM. Robert is not in the MLM, he does not need to because he already a multi-millionaire in business and investment. Why not listen to what he has to say, maybe you will open up your mind. You know, you have the same thinking that I once had. What you have said, I have said it before. I've been through a lot of challenges the last few years, I have overcomed it and it made me a stronger person.

I'm not better that anyone, I'm always a learner. A lot of the stuff I have shared comes from the books I read, tapes, teachings from my coach and all other leaders in my MLM company. It's the knowledge and skill I have gained being in MLM.

If anyone thinks I wrong or does not agree with what I say, by all means challenge me, let's debate. you could be right and I could have learned something new. Who knows, someone else would benefit.

When I look back, I've got a bad attitude. I now know my character, is choleric. I like to tell people what to do and do it my way. I admit my character flaw which forms my attitude. I used to be very negative and stubborn. That's me. I learned from a book called Personality Plus and from my coach. It tells the types of character of a person. It's through the progam I have change a lot but this is a never ending process.

Accela,

I'm a stranger to you and you do not have to listen to me. You can stick to what you believe in, it's up to you. I will not gain anything from you anyway by recommending the books. It's you who will gain the most if you decided to take a look. Is there any harm done? or are you worried that someone proved you wrong?

Cheers,

Ben

antoh,

I hope I get you correctly...it very vague.

The company I'm with, I could be earning more than my upline. My upline will not benefit from my group of people if he does not work his other group.

My income did not surpass my first generation upline, but I have surpassed many uplines from my first upline. It's fair because we deserve to get more if we do more. We are truly paid what we are worth.

What you said is half true, all conventional business is like that, maybe some MLM is like that but not mine and all pyramid schemes are like that.

By the way, you are commenting on the selling concept. It does not really apply to what I'm in.

Cheers,

Ben

Accela,

I didn't get you wrong. I doubt you really know what you are talking about. These books actually tells a lot on business and investment.

You should read the books. The first 3 books have nothing much to do with MLM except when it comes to the part on "what are the types of business available". Ignore it by all means. Robert T Kiyosaki is not into MLM. He talks about people like you and me who have the poor dad's mentality and why we are in a rat race.

What have you got to lose? Pride? Face?

By the way, give me your ten statements why MLM is not good. Try me. Go ahead make my day.

Cheers,

Ben

two bucks,

There are good MLM companies out there but they are not prefect. Let me put it this way, "Would you put your eggs into a basket with big holes in the basket basket?" If you simply pick one company, is taking a big risk. What you are thinking is that people join you because they have the believe you and the company is not important. Let me ask you this "If the company collapse for whatever reason, what would happen? Your intregrity? What would your members think of you? I would want anyone to bring me "Holan". That's for sure. Of course, I would agree with you, good MLM company will not guarantee success, it boils down to your willingness to do, your desire and your teacheability. These are the 3 criterias I would look for in a member.

If one is focus on making money for himself, is truely selfish in the MLM world. One should be focus on how to help their members make the money, only then he shall be rewarded. People are not stupid. They can feel whether one are sincere or not. The moment they notice one's true face, one will be a general without soldiers.

You are right on the bosses statement. It's not the boss responsibility to make one rich. It's us. And there is no such things as job security anymore. One need to wake up soon as possible or else get buried alive.

Everyone should be encourage to try MLM. Yes MLM is not for everyone but how would know if you have not tried yourself. Just don't simply try anyhow lah. Painful when you knock against the wall. When you are in MLM, three very important questions to ask yourselves, Have I done enough, what did I do wrong and how can I do better?

MLM is a part time business, you do not need to sacrifice you job just to do MLM. I would never encourage anyone to do that unless the time is right. Housewife can do it full time because the husband are paying for the bills. It all depends on the situation.

two bucks,

I believe you are in the direct selling concept, I could be wrong. Most of your income comes from sales. If selling stops, you either don't making anything or make very little. You probably have not seen another kind of concept which I feel very comfortable with. As long as you are happy and comfortable, keep it up.

Cheers,

Ben

This selling concept will work with those who like selling. Those who don't are not like to do well in this business unless they can change.

A lot of time, we need to experience first only then we can share. Nothing wrong with that. If your have not been to place like Queenstown, New Zealand, can you share how wonderful Queenstown is? It's the way it is. There is good MLM, one need to know what to look for, check it out, compare and decide.

chunyong,

That's Amway's concept, traditional direct selling. We are very different, direct buying concept. No selling, just promoting a concept.

On delivery door to door, we have been doing it for years. Amway is not the first. Many other MLM companies including Amway have rejected the concept when it was introduced. Believe it or not.

Cheers,

Ben

Ben,

Stop preaching, go out and do some real networking. You are trying too hard to respond to everyone's comment.

RaTtY81 SG

wow u even spelt out my nick in the correct caps.....

benwong99 SG

two bucks,

Stop being a choleric, a person who like to tell people what to do. Anyone is free to comment or give constructive critism. If you can't agree with my opinion, by all means give me your opinion, you are welcome to do that. But don't go blasting people without any facts/common sense. Can we agree on that?

Cheers,

Ben

Laughing I'm have a bit of melancholy in me. Melancholy like details and facts. I like to compare. I have been approached by many MLM, never reject any on the spot, I would listen and compare. So far, I'm confident we have the best in the market.

Good luck in hunting.

Cheers,

Ben

benwong99 SG

RaTtY81,

By the way, when I saw your nick, why would someone use such a nick? Care to share what it means? I try my best to get peoples name right, nothing is sweeter than the person name when use. It shows respect.

Adios,

Ben

Thank you for your feedback. I do not have any facts to show that you are trying too hard to respond to everyone's comment. My mistake.

But it was indeed my sincere advice, to advise you not to spend too much time sticking in front of the computer, instead, go out and meet real people and do real networking. Wait, does that make me sound like "a person who like to tell people what to do" again? I think I better shut up, it was you who started the thread anyway, you the champion.

I rest my case.
