PART IX: How Leader’s Could Rate Multi Level or Network Marketing Companies……



Before reading this article please read the previous issues on the same topic.


Many changes do take place in our life, we adapt to these changes and get transformed from a novice to an experienced person. An Associate or Distributor becomes a Leader in the same process.


Almost similarly things are changing in Network Marketing/Multi Level Marketing Industry. As we all know, initially ‘Product’ was used for marketing the Business Plan, later ‘Service Sector’ was also introduced in the business domains of Network Marketing/Multi Level Marketing Industry.

The industry is getting phenomenal change and for the past few years we are finding different companies have introduced “Concepts & Ideas” in the Business Plan, have also been accepted by senior and experienced Leaders.

These innovations in marketing strategies of Network Marketing/Multi Level Marketing Industry offer a combination of different Product, Concept, Idea and Services, which have broaden its scope or we can say many marketable items are in its basket. These changes have given a new dimension to the industry, which has geared to meet the eventuality and upgraded itself from all angles.

Experience of all sorts have created an uncanny feeling within Leaders and Network Marketing/Multi Level Marketing Company, that if there is utility of anything, it should be somewhat unique and different, then it has full marketing potentiality through a Business Plan.

This principle of marketing is providing us with so many Product, Concept, Idea and Services options to promote to the people in the society. This magnificent feature in the industry has given rise to so many new “Concepts & Ideas”. Some of these are given below:-

  •           Personality Development Training for Associate/Distributors.
  •           Online and Offline Spoken Language Tutorials.
  •           Online Software Programming Tutorials.*
  •           Online Website Builder Tutorials.*
  •           Giving training for Generation of leads.
  •           Carbon Credit Points.


Most of the above mentioned marketable domains are new and still in the process of development. All these are based on human abilities and skills to adapt to the requirement, its evaluation is difficult, and so it also becomes difficult for Leaders to qualitatively judge that team has understood and learnt.

This can be explained by the following given example. Suppose a teacher, mentor or guide is teaching these soft skills to a group of individuals. Some of the learners may appreciate and acknowledge, as well as may have high regard and esteem for the teacher, mentor or guide. And there may be few, having inconveniences, in understanding and would never be prepared to learn and understand, at times feeling bored and embarrassed. This happens because understanding of any different topic differs from person to person as well as education level and intellectual soundness of the learner. These Associate or Distributor would never constraint themselves against saying some negative things regarding Leader and respective Company. Facing such a scenario for the Leader would be embarrassing and may cause commotion in the group. These team members may not be supportive for the Leader and respective Company in the long run. Most of the people are not prepared to understand the main cause for this development. It is an accepted fact that learning and integrating with new technology is not that easy, also all this at the mid & latter stage of life is bit difficult.

Another important point to ponder is that the ‘capability of the Concept & Idea provider’, i.e. the organization or the individual providing training or marketing tips. How experienced is the provider of Concept & Idea? Soft skills are delicate issues, if given by an experienced hand develops the intellectual & personal traits of an Associate.

Companies bringing new “Concepts & Ideas” should be saluted and hailed, for giving a new forward looking Business Plan. Change is the law of nature and Leaders should proceed positively after a systematic analysis.  

Future looks bright in the industry and Leaders with his/her team should be prepared to move in the forward direction but both the Leader and respective Company should analyze the above mentioned drawbacks.

In “Concepts & Ideas”, we face many different kinds of limitation, such as, technology based limitation, and knowledge based limitation, limitation regarding our understanding of the new process. Hence before proceeding for market promotion, especially Leaders should understand, evaluate and openly discuss the process with the team members.
