Network Marketing Basics

Build your network marketing business from the start by having a strong understanding of the foundation for your company's payment plan. There are a few 'key formulas' that network marketing companies use for developing their residual HFT Shield Review income plan. The summary below simply shows a 'baseline' of that type of plan. The variations even within these plans is what makes each company model unique.

-Stairstep Plan. In this option, there is some sort of a stairstep model. The distributor goes up the stairs per say as she reaches new levels of sales&/or team building status. Each level may have a different commission structure and there may be different group or individual sales requirements. Companies vary in terms of the percentage and bonus' earned at each level.

-Simple Matrix Plan. This type of plan involves the openness to build a network of distributors at varying levels. Typically a distributor adds people to their first line, then the first line adds people to their line. This creates a 2nd line for the first distributor. An open matrix plan does not limit the number of people in each line. The number of lines and the commission earned for each member below a distributor varies with each company. The Mia Bella candle business is an example of an open simple matrix plan. It is one of the easiest plans to understand.

-Forced Matrix Plan. This typically involves some sort of limit on the number of people in a group. When this happens, new distributors are put into the downline structure underneath another distributor who did not initially sponsor them. This can build teamwork or it may promote some lax business practices, while others do the work'. This type of plan rewards the long term network marketer, but at the same time, there is a continuous building process needed to replace people in the first line who may not be productive or who have quit.

-Binary plan. This plan focus' on a distributor with only two legs in her organization. Commissions are paid when one of the two legs meets a certain sales volume. Depending on the company, sometimes a distributor is paid on the 'weakest' leg. There can be other variables and twists as well, so if you are getting involved in a binary plan, be sure to ask for a clear explanation and ask what the group sales level requirements are.

Another tip: Be sure to join a company that allows you to retail your products. Some companies are more of a wholesale buyers club, only with a monthly commitment to purchase. To make the most money, you will want to be able to sell your products, not just the business opportunity.
