Everything you need...

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.
Vince Lombardi

Sorry I haven’t written anything in a while. All of a sudden, things started to move from “Nothing to do” to “Some things to do” and finally to “I haven’t got enough time” in the space of a week. Now it seems I have to squeeze time to be able to write this post. Not to worry. I’m not going to compromise on my writing. I will still try to provide you with as much detail about the business as possible.

Coming back to topic of the factors that will make a good multilevel marketing program, the third and final component is support. Support comes in 2 forms, one is from the company, and the other one is from your team.

Support from the company is crucial. You need this support in order to grow. I’ve seen a lot of MLM programs right here in Malaysia dwindle down just because the support from the company is lacking. When we talk about support, we’re not just saying that the company has to support their distributors with products, but a whole range of other things.

Materials are one of the most important tools for a distributor. The company needs to provide sufficient materials for the distributor to approach and recruit more distributors. Apart from that, the company must also provide training and also a place where distributors can meet with potential recruits or customers.

The company itself must have a solid background. One of the problems with a lot of local MLM companies is that they don’t have much of a background. Their foundation isn’t strong and when their products do not move as fast as they expect, the company dies.

4Life Research has 10 years of solid experience in the industry. They were formed in 1998 and in 2003, they were recognized by Inc 500 as one of the fastest growing companies in the world. They have now expanded to 22 countries around the world and they are still growing. They currently have a monthly turnover of about USD 4.5 million a month.

Another area of support every distributor needs is from his or her team.

This support is in 2 different forms, one is training and the other one is moral support. A lot of people who join an MLM business will not have much experience (Although there are those with too much experience). They need to be trained and the team members, especially their uplines, will have to provide this training.

Platinum Networkers is one such team. They provide training on the products, the rewards plan, approaching prospects, talking to them and answering their queries. This is all essential training for every new distributor.

Another thing that Platinum Networkers provide is moral support. Like any other business, MLM is not easy. It’s not difficult but without the right support it could be. Every distributor will go through times when they think that it’s impossible to do the business, especially at the start. Most MLM distributors, quit within the first 3 months. It is crucial for the team to provide moral support and encouragement during this time. Platinum Networkers does exactly that.

I guess that covers most of the things about the things any MLM business needs to have in order to succeed. These are the main reasons why I chose 4Life Research. It has a great product, one of the best rewards plan in the industry and also great support from both the company and the team I joined, Platinum Networkers.

P/s: Photos of training sessions will be posted soon. Have to get Cheanu's permission to take the photos first
