A lot of people are pitching their business and calling it the best thing since sliced bread and of course everyone wants to believe that their company is the best network marketing business.
However, if you think about it a little deeper, what truly makes a company the best one to join?
Is it the compensation plan?
The fact that it’s a ground floor opportunity?
That it’s debt free?
Or could it be because they have a bunch of high profile network marketers on board?
Everything I’ve mentioned here contributes to making a great company but I think that what makes a network marketing business the best one to join is more than all of these factors?
So what should you look out for when choosing the best network marketing business?
Team support:
Joining a company that has a strong team support system is so important.
I’m in no way saying that your success solely depends on your team but being part of a highly motivated and vibrant team helps a long way.
As marketers, we all need the help we can get and there are times when you will feel discouraged.
So being part of a team that’s proactive and energized helps so much.
In my company, I’m part of a team that’s like a family and they are so willing to help and I can tell you that it’s priceless.
Mentorship:
This somehow ties in with the team you are part of, but having a mentor in your company that you can mastermind with and come up with strategies to succeed is critical.
I just had a session with my mentor in my company and I cannot emphasize how much that helps in giving a clear direction of where you should be headed.
I think lack of mentorship is one of the biggest reasons people struggle.
Think about it this way, if you are trying to get to Point A and you know someone who has already been there, doesn’t it make more sense to let the person who has traveled that journey guide you?
That would save you a lot of time and energy than trying to figure it out all on your own.
A System That Works:
Having a proven system that works and working it is also very important.
Of course, not everyone has the patience and motivation to work a system but for those who do, it’s so important for the company you join to have a system.
Your company needs to have a system or strategy for getting leads.

Whether it’s offline or online strategies, ‘the best network marketing business’ will have a system for lead generation.
Without leads, your business will die.
These are the three rocks that you should look out for when choosing the best network marketing business.
I believe that most legitimate network marketing companies can be your vehicle to your success but you have to take it upon yourself to make sure that the company you join passes these criteria.

Hi Ruth, I have to agree, great post. I have learnt to my detriment that you do indeed need to have a great team leader to guide and mentor you. A lot of the time when people get into Network Marketing once they’ve joined the business they feel alone and do not know where to turn. I truly believe it’s not necessarily the product or company but the indiviuals, that make up that company.
You are very lucky to have an upline that see’s the advantage of looking after their downline.

Awesome post Ruth! I love the characteristics of a good network marketing opportunity that you outline here: Team Support, Mentorship, and a Proven System that works. These are things I was missing when I started my network marketing career and the lack of all of the above made me quit, start again, quit and start again. I am grateful I have an awesome team, a great mentor, and a way to build my business now. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise!
