Read on ;-)Did Aloha !!I'm lucky to live in Maui, Hawaii. Surrounded by the "mightyblue", it's difficult not to think of waves! Will you spot the nextReal Internet Tidal Wave? You can't afford not to! Read on ;-)Did you know that many colleges and high schools in Hawaiiand California offer an elective course on surfing? It's true!The classes offer tuition in the following areas:..How to select a good surf board..How to wax the surf board..How to spot a great wave..How to mount the wave..How to get the best rideThe one thing that the class can't teach, however, ishow to CREATE A WAVE.I wish somebody would tell this to many of the NetworkMarketing companies that keep trying to recruit me into theirbusiness. Many of them intent on CREATING WAVES.They employ all sorts of fads that actually result in little morethan a ripple in the water. True WAVES are much bigger andoffer an overwhelming deluge of support for certain qualities thatdistributors want and need from the companies they represent.Where are the WAVES that people are wanting and lookingfor in Network Marketing?----------------------------------------- Wave 1 - Company Longevity-----------------------------------------The newest crop of individuals exploring Network Marketing arerather astute - people who understand the need to engage in"due diligence" before making a decision to invest themselvesin a particular business.This being the case, one of the most pronounced wavesin Network Marketing is the movement toward establishedcompanies - companies that have lasted and prospered intotheir fifth year and beyond.Why this focus on company longevity? Two significant reasonsimmediately come to mind. First, people are fed up with losingtheir hard earned $, time and credibility with start ups. Second,company longevity is and indication of strong management.Few businesses in any field last four or fives years withoutstrong management. This gives you peace of mind-security!-------------------------------------------------Wave 2 - Consumable Product Line-------------------------------------------------Don't let anyone tell you that products aren't important! How manytimes have you been directed to MLM web sites only to searchin vain for the mention of any products? Click away from that siteimmediately. Network Marketing is a business model based onthe distribution of products - so products matter. Big time.You might also click away from any site that offers a "one-timepurchase." The building of a true residual income (the mainappeal of Network Marketing) will require that the products soldhave high value at a fair price--thus prompting customers anddownline members to make repeat purchases. The truly successfulin Network Marketing have spotted this wave and are involvedwith companies with valuable and consumable products.---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wave 3 - Compensation For The Part-Time Networker----------------------------------------------------------------------The most important wave in network marketing today involvesthe rush toward fairer compensation plans. Going and soon to begone are the compensation plans that reward only the "heavy-hitters."The biggest wave is among companies who understand thatmost networkers start out "part-time." These part-timers expectand must be rewarded quickly for their efforts...or they quit.Here's a simple test to see if the company you are consideringhas "caught the wave of fair compensation." Put twenty peoplein your downline - four below you and four below each of these.Assume that each person in the downline has purchased $100of commissionable products. How much will you earn each monthin residual income on 20 in a downline? If the figure is not $700-$1000, you should move on to a company who does!CAREFUL! Like all industries, it's shark infested waters!!If you are not 100% sure in selecting a MLM business,you may want to ask "surfing dudes" like ourselves :)Surfers can't create waves. They can be taught to SPOT a goodwave and enjoy a great ride. The same is true in Network Marketing.Waves come and go. Real waves create Trends. Learn how tospot a REAL wave, get on board, and enjoy the ride to success! Article Tags: Network Marketing Source: Free Articles from ArticlesFactory.com
