Network Marketers Beware - Select a Company That Has a Good Foundation

About 2.5 months ago I joined a network marketing company who had great products. It was a product that I could really get behind and promote both online and offline. I noticed many high profile marketers and people promoting the business, so I thought it had to be the best opportunity ever. I was so excited that I started promoting it to everyone online. I used PPC, Facebook, Twitter and other social media networks to get the message out about this great new company with great products.About 20 day into my business, I was actively marketing the product online when a person asked me to send them the policies and procedures for the company. I sent them right away thinking that I had a great lead. They came back to me saying that they would not get involved because of the policies of the company. They stated they were not distributor friendly. Well, I thought all companies had similar policies so I just ignored the comment.Fast forward a month and I was introduced to a free e-book called 'success in 10 steps' which I read fully. When I came to the chapter about policies and procedures I decided to check out the ones that I had sent that lead. Well, I was shocked to see that the company had all the rights and me as a distributor had none. I contacted the company and they told me not to worry those policies were just there for problem distributors. I decided to cut back on my marketing and start looking for a better company; one that is more friendly to distributors.10 days later, I get a notice from the same company which stated they were no longer going to be an MLM company and were taking a different route and they were terminating my distribution contract. WOW, just think where I would be if I had continued to promote and bringing people into the business...where would I be now? Total amount spent on this opportunity $1500 with 100% wasted.Note to all marketers - Learn for this! Remember that any company that you get involved with must have a five pillars foundation as outlined in the 'success in 10 steps' ebook. Do not start building a business and putting your time and money into something that is not build on a stable foundation. Read the 'success in 10 steps', and read the policies and procedures. Do your due diligence and do not just think because other high profile people are involved that it must be good. In this case they too are looking for a new opportunity...hopefully they will choose a five pillar company this time.

These health drinks were formulated by a medical professional, Dr. Arnold Leonardo. Dr. Leonardo is one of the trusted names in the health drink industry and has had years of experience dealing with wellness, general health and nutrition products.The products sold by Rain Nutrition are plant-based concoctions featuring extracts from herbs and fruits.

Pure is a probiotic drink supplement, which is purported to help boost the immune system and fight infection.It's all in the juice?The one challenge that's facing new members of RN is its marketing training. The company uses old methods of lead generation, selling and recruitment, advising members to tap their warm leads. This may be effective to people who already have experience and contacts in MLM but for those who just entered the field, this method is simply not helpful. No matter how terrific the products are, distributors may not always get the response they need from their market.Is it a legitimate company?RN is a legitimate company but as with all types of business opportunities in MLM, it is only as good as its distributors. Without the necessary skills to sell and market, members and distributors won't experience much success in their efforts. Rain Nutrition's products, as excellent as they are, will be competing against other similar products, many of which may have the same selling point and many more that may already have a strong hold in the market.If Rain Nutrition sounds like an excellent opportunity for earning an income to you, learn what you can about the company, its products and the type of marketing it uses. It has to fit your personality and business style; otherwise, you will find it difficult to launch your own venture.

Will You Become Physically and Fiscally Fit With Javafit?

JavaFit is a company that is promoting healthy coffee. What they are promoting is the coffee has vitamins added to the coffee to help you get the vitamins you need. Javafit was founded in 2003 where you can get your fitness in a cup of coffee and not have to make major changes to your life style. In 2007, it officially became a company. In June of 2009 it became a fully owned subsidiary and entered the network marketing industry.The GoodThis gives coffee drinkers the ability to say to their doctors that it is a healthier solution. They have 5 different blends that meet different targeted issues (weight loss, energy, memory, immune, and gourmet). They have a doctor that gives his support of the product. The cost is $35 to become a rep with the company which is not bad.The BadMost people pay about 4 cents per cup of coffee, (Yikes, Did I say that and what will people think of Starbucks!), and this coffee is about 22 cents per cup of coffee. Now, we know price is not the only factor people look for in their coffee or Starbucks would not do so well. They talk about the doctor that says the product is good for you, but, I would recommend finding out what the coffee really has in it with your doctor. Some of the products may interact with your medication you may take. This is a very competitive industry with the vitamins and weight loss, so you could do one of those products and drink coffee. One of the things that is really bad, if you do not like the product, you only have 20 days from the day it shipped to request a refund. This means you better start using it the day it is delivered. If it takes 3 or 4 days to get to you, you have about 2 weeks. This is one of the worse return policies. If they were confident in their products, they would not worry about the return policy. As with all network marketing companies, they have the cheerleading trainings on webinars and teleconferences, but they will not teach you how to truly market the product. They go back to the friends and family, where they come over and you pour the cup of JavaFit. This limits you from marketing to the masses and limits you in your business. Now, I know how you can market to the masses and profile your customers and you can do that. If you are unsure what steps to take, you can get specialized training on that.ConclusionYes, this company is new and exciting, but do not get caught up in all the hype. You will have to learn to market and position yourself as a leader. The company allows you to use their name to build the business, but it must be approves and all you are doing is positioning the company. Yes, it is costly and they still lean to the old school methods to build the business. Yes this business is new and unproven, so I am cautious about their track record. Long term effects of what they do to the coffee is unknown and if they run into any bad press could derail your business. If you are counting on them being around and making a long term business, be careful on this one. The choice is yours, and you need to make the choice for you. If you do not have a marketing background, you better find a source you trust that can help you, because you are competing with Starbucks and they can squish you.
