Which Is Better Product or Comp Plan

[Weebitty]

What is more important to you in MLM, the product or the compensation plan? I know this is a tough one to answer but try. Voice your opinons.... and why you have that opinion would be nice too

Was in MLM a few years back...
Started for the dollars......
Then really got into providing quality and service to the customer.....

Got out when I felt the company was not operating in the best interest of the customer...

A good mlm company is :
1. dealing in convenience goods.
2. not only one good, but a whole line of these goods.
3. the compensation doesn't matter if the structure of the matrix
is like the forced matrix principle.
The whole essence of mlm is that the company distribute their products.
So the key is that all distributors buy 1 product on a regular basis.
I do network marketing online slightly different, but if i was to choose
an mlm offline, i would look for the above conditions.

I strongly believe that the product is far more important than the comp plan because is does not matter how great a comp plan is if the product is lousy, no one will want them anyways. Therefore, it is a no brainer in my opinion to get involve with a company based solely on the comp plan. To be involved with a company that has great products and a comp plan that is fair to everyone would be heavenly.

I agree with David on this one, if the product is junk, then no one will want it.

To go one step further, take a look at the company and what they offer for training, a lot of MLM's are still in the dark ages, when it comes to the online game. And I for one have never been the bug the friends and family type.

So if you find the great product and you learn to market online, and the company has a good comp. plan, then you will have all that you need to be a success.

Very Similar story to you.

I found Interesting topic and as I developed a software for MLM business for few of my clients.

I found that compensation plan is much better than plan whether it is Simple Binary or Australian Binary or any other, but the point is if you don't have a product according to the targeted mlm leaders / people; all plans are just a waste.

There are thousands of MLM companies are forming every month [worldwide], but how many are achieving the level. I guess, the ratio is just 1 - 3%. Isn't it?

In 2008, I joined ws domain provider, they made much more money than I was expecting and as I'm concerned, I joined the plan because I was interested in the domain and web hosting stuffs. It's another fact that, I failed to proceed.

Thank you
