Every
Network Marketer in the World today has an important role
to play in the development of our Industry.
If
we're committed to having our own profitable MLM Business
then we must be apart of our future
That's
the choice we all have to make to continue to think
about ourselves as Marketers of other peoples' MLM Products
or to think of ourselves as Stakeholders with a primary objective
of making money using the MLM Model.
The
choices we all make today, including how we view MLM
and how we want to improve MLM for the future will determine
the future of our Industry.
More
importantly, the choices we make today will dictate if online
Network Marketing continues to be a 'rat race' for most or
it becomes the vehicle for a lot more success.
So
what will the future of MLM/Network Marketing hold for tomorrow?
What
will the future hold for millions of home based entrepreneurs?
One
thing's for sure... if MLM continues as it is... and remains
as it is today... a place where many struggle to make any
money... then it won't be around for long!
However,
we don't want this to happen, nor do we think it likely to
happen!
That's
because the MLM Industry is made up of wonderful people...
and there must and will be a MLM epiphany... an awakening;
when MLM becomes more than just another marketing arm for
business!
When
people or more importantly Distributors everywhere choose
to come together...
But
that's not all!
For
a start, there are likely to be fewer numbers of prime business
opportunities, and these will become a staple part of every
ones income portfolio.
Both
the MLM Home Office as well as Distributors will evolve, with
much of it due to the economic pressures which are so prevalent
in Society today. However, part of this will come from the
fact that people will no longer view themselves as just Distributors
of a Business that distributes via a network marketing channel.
In
fact, many Network Marketers will begin to think differently
about their role as Distributors; and become more aware of
their own capabilities and importance in the Business. Indeed,
distribution will be less of an issue as the numbers of consumers
rise.
This
awareness will foster a time when Network Marketers start
to understand the collective power they have; and that by
smarter collaboration between each other over and above pure
advertising, they will be able to create more sustainable
networks and higher incomes.
These
changes will become a necessity as MLM becomes far more important
to the wealth of millions of individuals' and Society in general;
especially as higher prices and lower disposable incomes continue
to damage many households.
In
turn, Home Offices and technology will change to make the
entire experience for 'Distributors' easier and more profitable.
And the Compensation Plan will evolve to support the fact
that MLM is becoming mainstream... coming of age. Change from
the Home Office perspective will also be important in order
to keep their Distributors loyal and to ensure that they are
the ones who the new mainstream Distributors will come to..
Because
Network Marketers are more aware of their role and the performance
of individual Home Business Opportunities; it's likely that
network marketers will begin to pool their resources proactively
across fewer primary MLM opportunities. This will foster a
change in the way people market themselves and there will
be less competition. Marketing and advertising will become
secondary to the process of distribution, consumption and
wealth generation of these major opportunities.
Advertising
for leads will become far less prevalent online and marketing
for leads will not be as it is today. Another reason for this
will be that MLM Distributors and other interested parties
will flock to MLM Social Networks. The best of these new MLM
Societies will have supportive tools, performance benchmarking
and other resources to help support collaboration and business
growth to their Members.
The
Logistics, Distribution and Back Office functions will also
improve a lot also, with more automation and transparency.
It will be easier also to create the right shape downline,
so that everyone is automatically positioned to earn an income,
albeit still one that is based on some personal effort.
There
will be a second tier of more specialist MLM opportunities
which allow entrepreneurs to make additional income over and
above a staple residual income. This will also allow entrepreneurialism
in the Supply Market over and above the usual marketing hype
and get rich quick messages so prevalent today.
Not
surprisingly, there will be a 'popular uprising' of people
who are sick and tired of the scams, lies, hype and general
inefficiencies which exist across the MLM Industry today.
And people everywhere will want to put behind them the business
building practices and processes of yesterday, which deliver
minimal benefit.
The
new breed of MLM Distributor will expect more from the Industry
and their Home Office. They'll not be satisfied in spending
$50 a month with a return of $0 or just a few dollars... and
they'll be looking for ways to earn more with far less effort.
Home Offices that cannot support the new MLM Distributor will
simply vanish.
In
addition MLM and Home Office Performance Benchmarking and
Performance Transparency will become the norm; and no different
to other business performance benchmarking.
Quite
probably, the collaborative mindset outlined in the MLM Friends
Platinum Club (a leading Solution for change and MLM business
performance improvement); is likely to become a keystone for
the prevailing mindset and expectations of people everywhere.
It's
still too early to tell which MLM businesses will survive
to become the foundation of an economy, where MLM is embraced
by the majority of people; and where our trading culture is
further developed to provide more wealth to everyone.
In
the future, wealth won't just be a preserve of the few heavy
hitters... nor will the job be the only highlight for the
majority of people throughout their lives
MLM
will engender more Teamwork across a new Society driven by
MLM entrepreneurship and wealth generation.
The
future of MLM will come about because change is needed; change
isn't a luxury, and those people who recognise and support
the new MLM of the future are likely to do very well for them-selves
indeed!
With over 30 million Network Marketers involved in hundreds
of MLM opportunities today; and millions more going online
looking for ways to make money on the Internet, the time for
MLM innovation and change is upon us all now.
It's
important to recognise that nothing stays the same; including
MLM, and what we behold to be true today will not be so tomorrow.
So
what now?
Change
cannot happen unless we desire it. In other words if MLM isn't
working for you today, you need to do something about it.
That's
partly what the MLM Friends Platinum Club is about a
vehicle for change a vehicle whereby new information
and new ways of doing things can come to the fore.
It's
in all of our power to put the waste and inefficiency of online
Network Marketing behind us.
So
if that's how you feel if you think it's time to improve
the way we all 'make money' come and have and see what the
MLM Friends Platinum Club could do for you?
