5 Reasons To Have An MLM Company

April 19, 2020 By admin Leave a Comment

Several times each month, we talk with people who are uncertain about starting a multilevel marketing company. When I have these conversations, I give the caller the 5 reasons to have a multilevel marketing company.

Would you like to know the 5 reasons?

The 5 Reasons

1. Sell More

Will your products or services sell better when a person demonstrates or explains them?  If so, using a multilevel marketing model is a good idea.

2. Delegate Sales Rep Acquisition

In most types of companies, the company itself will always be in the business of finding new sales representatives.  Would you like to assign the responsibility of finding new sales representatives for your company to others?

One of the purposes of multilevel compensation is to allow the company to get out of the business of finding new sales representatives. When you offer multilevel compensation, you successfully delegate the responsibility of finding new sales reps to your sales reps.

3. Grow Quickly

How does growing faster sound to you?

If your company was responsible for finding new sales representatives, your speed of growth would be limited to the recruiting abilities of your corporate staff which is limited in number.

When your sales force is responsible for finding new sales reps, you can grow faster because you will have more boots on the ground doing the recruiting work.  As a result, your company will grow faster!

4. Minimize Working Capital

Would you like to minimize the amount of money you spend to get sales?

Unlike other types of businesses that spend money on advertising before sales are made, direct selling companies spend money on field compensation after sales are made.

5. Help Others

Do you like the idea of building a company that not only sells good products or services but also empowers other people and you want to help others beyond just yourself?

Direct selling companies provide opportunities for part-time and full-time income.

Best Book For Direct Selling Companies

Knowledge is power and you can never have enough of either.

Treat yourself to the gift of direct selling business education.  Read and follow the advice in our 250-page book, Start Here: The Guide To Building And Growing Your Direct Selling Company.

For more than 30 years, Jay has enjoyed assessing and improving network marketing, party plan and referral marketing companies across the globe.

In 1986, Jay began his career in direct selling by working for a major direct selling software provider. First as a software developer and later as a project leader and a business analyst, Jay worked closely with new and established network marketing and party direct selling companies to provide them with software solutions to meet their unique requirements.

Jay contributed in many ways to the success of large implementation projects for many companies. Jay also worked with dozens of smaller companies to assist each of them in various capacities to provide them with the systems they needed to help their businesses to grow faster.

Along the way while working with them, he learned the secrets of successful direct selling companies and the challenges faced by them. In true entrepreneurial spirit, Jay’s decision in 1999 to start Sylvina Consulting as a direct selling consulting company was driven by what he saw was a need for answers, advice, and solutions.

In 2004, 2006, 2009, 2014, and 2018, Jay gave presentations on compensation plans, recognition, and field leadership development at conferences held by the US Direct Selling Association.

He traveled to South Africa in 2015, 2016, and 2017 to conduct workshops on compensation plan design and recognition programs for member companies of the South African Direct Selling Association.

In 2017, Jay spoke at the Canadian Direct Sellers Association Meeting on the importance of recognition.

More than just a compensation plan expert, Jay is exceptionally skilled at advising new and established companies on business strategies. Before offering advice or solutions, he asks important questions to understand each client’s specific concerns and goals.
