Alam ko alam mo na yung mga common na sinasabi ng advantage ng MLM sa traditional, pero basahin
mo itong ginagamit kong reasons kung bakit maraming nagjojoin na businessmen sa amin. :)

 

1. You need proof to start a business, and to market your business effectively.

Alam ng businessman na kapag wala siyang advantage sa kalaban/competition niya, malaki ang chance
niyang malugi. Kaya ang products/services dapat niya, may mga testimonials.

Pero kapag sa MLM ka nagjoin, ready made na, meron nang testimonials na magagamit.

Consider kung mag-put up ka ng sariling food supplement business. Gastos, at mahabang panahong
maliit na benta, (meaning malamang negative ang finances for about 2-5 years).

Pero sa MLM, hindi problema iyan.

 

2. A great businessman spends a lot of time networking with other businessmen, usually at a huge
expense.

Pansinin niyo yung mga mayayaman (hindi yung mga pormang mayaman lang, yung mga talagang
mayayaman) maraming mga parties na kasama ibang mga mayayaman din, mga events na pinupuntahan,
mga golf, yung mga magagastos na bisyo...

Sadya iyan dahil nagnenetwork sila sa ibang mga businessmen din.

Para saan? To build contacts, to learn from others' experiences.

Kaya nalalaman nila ang mga parating na mga trends bago pa malagay sa balita.

--Sa MLM, ang pagkakaiba, automatic na halos, may mga uplines na pwedeng lapitan.

Syempre hindi mo naman marerecruit ang mga members ng uplines, pero malaking matutunan mong knowledge.

Sabi nga nila, your income is about the average of the incomes of the 5 people you hang with a lot.

 

3. Businessmen find it hard to come up with a USP or "Unique Selling Proposition".

Kapag walang USP ang isang business, ilang months or years lang sara na, o kaya maliit ang kita.

Kasi, kung pareho lang naman ang ino-offer mo sa competition, bakit naman ako exclusive bibili sa'yo?

 

Maraming MLM companies, nagsara before dahil dito, pero yung mga tumatagal, may mga USP.

Example, sa'min, kami palang din ang merong 7.50 na product na kayang makaalis ng high blood, arthritis,
diabetes, asthma, sa loob lang ng 1 to 3 days, mero ngang may diabetes, 4 hours lang baba na blood sugar eh.

at yung soap din namin, wala pa rin akong makitang ibang soap na, sa lahat ng gumamit, isa lang halos
ang sinasabi, "isang gamit palang, nakakputi na."

 

4. Wise businesses spend money "test marketing".

Gumagastos talaga ang mga negosyante para subukan ang mga new products.

Example, bago lumabas sa Mcdo ang mga bagong offer na bagong product, tinatry muna nila sa ilang area.

Kapag hindi bumenta, talo na yung pinang test market nila.

Kapag bumenta, saka nila gagawing nationwide (or international)

Mas maraming talo kesa panalo sa pag test-market.

Sa MLM, hindi ikaw ang gagastos ng malaki para sa pag test-market. Ang MLM company na gumagawa
nito.

 

5. A great businessman spends a lot of time networking with other businessmen, usually at a huge
expense.

Pansinin niyo yung mga mayayaman (hindi yung mga pormang mayaman lang, yung mga talagang
mayayaman) maraming mga parties na kasama ibang mga mayayaman din, mga events na pinupuntahan,
mga golf, yung mga magagastos na bisyo...

I happened to work as an employee of a binary network marketing company in Ortigas (employee pero may slot sa networking ng company, 03). Malaysians ang financers namin noon. Naging insider ako sa MLM at nakita ko ang papel ng kumpanya, magkano ang in at out. Umubos ng P20,640,000 ang MLM company in just one year of operation sa Philippines. In just one year, sarado na ang kumpanya. Lugi ang mga owners ng MLM company, which can be considered as "traditional business ownership". Pero yung mga network marketers or distributors ng products, kumita kahit papaano, kasi wala sila masyadong overhead expenses, di tulad nung mga mga owners ng company. Yun sa tingin ko ang malaking advantage ng MLM distributors over traditional business owners.

@housewares: it was 3am in the morning when I posted the 1st post, so medyo
hindi ko na masyado na check, copy paste ang edit na mabilis...

hehe

@gomer: what most folks don't know is a lot of the costs of those employers
were really necessary.


Ang maganda, sa traditional business once malugi ka, para ka makabangon, kailangan
mong additional na puhunan.

Sa MLM kung malugi ka, anytime pwede kang magstart ulit.

WHEN YOU ARE A EMPLOYEE OF TRADITIONAL COMPANY
1. You start your job at the bottom rung earning a meager (but modest) salary. The work is easy and you have lots of time on your hands.

2. But as you climb up the corporate ladder, you are saddled with more responsibility, which also means more work. You have less time now for your family or favourite sport. But you re earning more money now.

3. That day arrives! Your hard work pays off. You re now in senior management and you ve in charge of an entire division. No doubt the responsibilities are heavy (you ve got to answer directly to the CEO) but you re making lots of money now. The downside is you spend loads of time at the office, even weekends.

Basically, you will be trading your time for money. You are earning a linear income which means that if you stop working today, you income would inadvertently stop too. And that day will come for sure when you retire.

From that day on, how long will you be able to survive without an income?

"Is there a way where I can create wealth that will bring in income for the rest of my life?", you may ask.

Take a look at the network marketing model below.....


Network Marketing ModelThe network marketing model presents a different scenario.

1. The networker works hard initially, attending meetings, talking to prospects and generally building his network. He s got his day job and it s taking a lot of his spare time and weekends. The income isn t much to shout about at the moment.

2. A year or so later, he starts to see some results. His network is growing through his continuous hard work and he s making pretty decent income now.

3. A year or two later .. That day arrives! He has the option to "fire" his boss (and probably already has!). He is now a top leader, making the money of his dreams. If he decided to stop working today, he will have residual income flowing to him for the rest of his life. Today, he spends his much of his time with his family, pursuing activities he loves. He finally enjoys uncommon time and financial freedom!
If network marketing is so great, why aren t more people involved or succeeding in it?

Now, bakit ko kinuwenta dyan ang estimated total amount ng nagastos ng owners ng kumpanya?

Madalas kasi ako nakakakita ng comments na pino-point-out nila lagi na ang kumikita lang daw sa MLM business ay yung owners ng kumpanya at iilang pioneers...

To tell you the truth, isa ako sa pioneers, 03 ako, at kumita din ako. Pero meron akong downline member na huli ng sumali, kumita sya ng P8,000 weekly for 1 month before nagsara ang kumpanya.

Magkano ang cost of entry ng kaibigan ko na huling sumali pero kumita pa rin?

P1,980 lang ang kapital sa entry package (P4,000 kung ibinenta nya sa outside customer, tubo pa sya!).

At konti lang ang nagastos nya (expenses) sa pag-build ng downline team nya. Dalawang team lang yun in-assemble nya, one on the left leg, and another on the right leg of his binary.

Now, kung kukwentahin natin, mas panalo pa yung huling member na na-recruit ko (personal recruit), mas panalo pa sya kaysa dun sa real owners ng MLM company. See?! :)
