We have seen this many times. A New Companies launches. Big names are involved, huge fast-track records are generated, celebrated, and promoted.
Huge Visions are communicated and first Billions are produced fast.
Fast forward 5 years, after a huge Peak, the Volume collapses, and the Company gets sold.
Why is this pattern happening to many MLM Companies over and over again?
Short-term thinking
“ you give up on the best you can have long-term when your focus is on what you want now.”
Most new MLM Companies are so obsessed with producing a quick Track record or a Top Income producer they can promote, that they use all the strategies that may give them quick results, but will kill all their small distributors in the long-term, who are their working backbone of daily business!
Binary Bonus Plan
It’s interesting that not 1 Top 10 Company is using the Binary Bonus plan, but 80% of new Companies think they need this plan to attract “BIG Leaders .“ The Problem with the Binary Bonus plan is that most of the money is fueled to the top leaders while the small partner is bleeding out since they have only one strong leg, whereas binary pays very little or no commission.
Big Starterkits / Crazy Autoships
Companies with 5.000€ plus Starter kits or auto ships with several hundreds of Euro of monthly Cost, which their partners are forced to buy to not lose all income or even not lose all teams are the first step to self-extinction.
These Companies are like Vampires, first their drink their Partner’s blood, and then they wonder why all are dead.
Lack of product value / Lack of Customers
When Companies have a “ product “ or “ service “ that would never sell in the “Normal World“, they never have rebuying customers, so small partners without teams make no money. Eventually Motivation without Money vanishes, they leave, and great kingdoms collapse.
This is not so hard to understand.
Autoship buying partners are not customers!
They are mainly buying for qualification purposes and will stop buying once the volume drops. That’s the circle of destruction.
If this is all you have, say goodbye to the Future.
