New MLM Company Startups

If you're considering a new MLM company, I recommend joining a company that is a member of the Direct Selling Association (DSA) or the Multi-Level Marketing International Association (MLMIA).

New network marketing companies as DSA members adhere to strict integrity criteria in both their products and the way they conduct their business. A complete and up-to-date list of DSA organizations and their addresses is available on the Internet through the World Federation Of Direct Selling Associations at www.dsa.org. Look for the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations (WFDSA) link. This will take you to the WFDSA site.

Here you'll find "DSA List by Country," which you can click into, for your local national DSA address. Your local office of the Direct Selling Association will be happy to give you a current list of their member companies and answer any questions you may have about your new MLM company.

You'll find you can link from the www.dsa.org Web site to each member company's own Web site, a quick and easy way for you to visit each company. Look for the "About Our Member Companies" link and your new network marketing companies listing.

Obviously, to join more than one MLM company would be unwise, as you will need to keep your focus in one direction to succeed to your full potential. Clear direction and focused activity are fundamental to your success.

Once chosen, the new MLM company will welcome you with open arms. They will become your business partner and handle all the back-end work, leaving you free to focus on building your own business and making money.

Be Your New MLM Company's Best Customer

Finding your first customer is simple. Every successful network marketing rep started with this one. It's you!

Be your first customer and your best customer.

Love your new MLM company's product. Use it always. Everywhere. Keep discovering great things about it and new ways to use it. Take every opportunity to include your products as gifts. For birthdays and Christmas. Mother's Day and Father's Day. Thank-you gifts. Hostess gifts. And gifts for any other occasion you can think of.

As a distributor of a new network marketing company, you'll be able to buy products inexpensively. More important, your absolute knowledge of, belief in, enthusiasm for, and commitment to your products will rub off onto your customers. It will also set the standard for the downline organization you are building in your new MLM.

Enthusiasm is Contagious

As your firsthand knowledge of your product grows, so will your confidence and enthusiasm when selling to others. Nothing beats personal experience and the endorsement that comes from always using the product yourself. Also, imagine your lack of credibility if a guest in your home caught you using a competitor's product!

When you're using your new MLM companies products day in, day out, you will discover the real benefits of using them. You'll find you won't be able to stop yourself telling other people about these benefits.

Develop your own story. Instead of a bland, "It's a great product," build a testimonial based on your own experience. Use the product for one week, then one month, and note what happens. Your presentation becomes more believable when you have personal conviction. This will only come from using the products and experiencing the results for yourself. Become a living testimony for your new network marketing company's products and share your enthusiasm with everyone you meet!

Customers will always respond more readily to a story than they will to information about the products you are promoting.

The only thing more contagious than enthusiasm is the lack of it. You can't expect your customers to embrace your new MLM business unless they can sense your unrelenting enthusiasm for, loyalty to, and love of them.

When you are your own best customer, you become a walking, talking advertisement for your network marketing product.
