How to Choose the Best Home Based Business
What Company is Right for You?
With all the home-based businesses out there, how do you know which one to choose? The process of selecting the right company can be daunting, merely due to the sheer numbers of companies that exist worldwide.
An important thing to know in starting your search is that not all companies are alike. Let’s take a look at some things to first consider when choosing your work from home business.
Let’s start with the product. There are companies that provide services and there are companies that provide a tangible or consumable product. It is always best to choose a product or service that you can truly get excited about. Ask yourself, is the product something that repeats every month? In other words will you have repeat customers? Next, take a look at the demographic for the product you are representing. Does it appeal to a wide audience or is it a niche market? If the answer is yes to many or all of these questions, you’ve got a green light with the first criteria.
The compensation plan should be a large part of your decision in choosing the best home based business. There are several types of compensation plans, including unilevel, binary, matrix, compressed and hybrid plans. Look for a compensation plan that allows you to break even with just a few people in your downline organization. This encourages retention in your group and allows you to build a long-term business. Also, look for a company that pays you well on your customer’s orders. Your customer orders add to the total product volume consumed in your downline, which you are paid on. Repeat customers and distributors consuming the product equal residual income month after month.
Do your due diligence on the company you are considering and look for a company that is financially stable. How many years have they been in business? If it is a relatively new company, do they have long-term capital to support the early operations? Are they relying on weekly and monthly sales to pay their distributors? Is the company debt-free or do they have loan payments to make and shareholders to pay? Network marketing companies spring up and go out of business everyday. You don’t want your investment, hard work and efforts to be wasted should the company not have staying power. A plus for you would be a company that is doing business overseas so you can capitalize on more market share, both local and global. Why be limited to the US when you have the opportunity to have a worldwide business.
What about the company’s mission? Every company should have a mission that has a purpose and a bigger goal to support. The mission shouldn’t be just to make a lot of money, or create the biggest business out there. A company with a goal of being the best, of serving, of helping people by providing a product or service is key. This will help give you a personal mission as well. When you are aligned with the mission and purpose of your company, your efforts will be focused and your chances of success will be increased because it may become your mission too.
Support is a huge factor to consider when choosing not only the right home-based business. Even more important is a team or mentor to help you succeed. See what kind of training, coaching and support is offered on a day-to-day basis. For someone new to network marketing ask if there will be someone that will take the time to teach you the business. Robert Kiyosaki has said that in network marketing the product is not important, the compensation plan is not important – what is important is the training and coaching you in this business. Be sure to choose a company and sponsor/team that will support you one hundred percent in your new business.
All home-based businesses are not alike. Be sure to consider all of the above elements and make an informed decision based on the criteria outlined above. Working a home-based business offers a world of benefits, including the opportunity to create a great income on your own schedule.
My best to you!
