Is your Job a Pyramid Scheme? – Network Marketing vs. The Corporate World

Many people don’t like or either they don’t understand the words Network Marketing and they think it is a Pyramid Scheme.  Some people  actually have entrepreneurial minds, love the concept and understand that Network Marketing is  an outstanding  business model and gives everyday people a way to make a lot of money not available to them in the Corporate World; but, if you are going to be successful, it is crucial that you understand how it works.

I think there are basically two reasons why some people seem to throw up a defensive wall when someone mentions the words network marketing. First, either they have or a family member has tried it, and because they were not shown how to market their business, they dropped out before ever knowing success.  Second, some people are ignorant about the network marketing industry.  They haven’t done any research and automatically equate network marketing with a pyramid scheme.

When you think about it, the Corporate World is more like a pyramid scheme than network marketing.  Each company has an Owner/CEO, President, Vice–Presidents, Middle Management, Sales Force, and Hourly Employees in an Org Chart that looks like a Pyramid.  Everybody knows that the Owner/CEO is going to make the most money and the salaries decrease as you go down through the organization.  The only way to make big money is to play office politics in order to get into upper management.  You may also have to hope that someone retires or gets fired in order for you to get promoted.  The funny thing is that people feel this is normal and okay.  How is this any less pyramid than network marketing? All people in the company work hard, but ONLY those at the very top make a lot of money.

On the contrary, in network marketing the basic idea is that it benefits everyone involved to help people who are new reach the top. In fact the whole business model hinges on this idea – the only way to become really successful in the long term is to help others be successful.  With today’s global marketplace, the internet and a good compensation plan, there is plenty of room for everybody.

But what about the miserable statistics of network marketing, the over 90% drop-out rate etc.?  This is mainly caused by the simple fact that people are not shown how to do network marketing correctly. And some network marketing companies are responsible for this themselves, by providing useless ideas like the 3 foot rule or harrassing friends and family until they give in and sign up. While this may be good for the company, it does nothing for building your business because the person is not interested in building a business with you.  (see my blog “are you hunting or fishing”)

If you are going to be involved in network marketing, you need to develop both the right mind set and acquire the right knowledge and no, they don’t teach this in college but we do.

You will learn that when you do this business right:
* You don’t have to “sell”

*You don’t have to approach strangers at the mall and in the grocery stores.
*You don’t have to chase your friends and family. 
* You don’t have to ask people to join your business, They will ask you!
