Watkins Home Based Business

The product line is, by far, the most important aspect of any network marketing or MLM opportunity.However, not everyone believes this. Many will point to the compensation plan as the most important consideration. The compensation plan is certainly important, but what good is the world’s highest payout if the products themselves are inferior? You want products that are quality and that people actually want to buy, even if they are not involved in the business opportunity.Some things to consider when evaluating products:First, you need to look at it from a consumer standpoint. Are the products high in quality and is the price competitive with similar products on the market? If you were not earning anything from your downline distributor’s sales, would you still purchase the company’s products at the retail price? If not, then forget it.Now look at the product line from the representative’s viewpoint. Are the products consumable? If not, you will have to constantly work to find more and more customers. If they are consumable, you can continue to sell these products month after month to the same loyal customers.The last thing to consider regarding the product line is how you are able to sell them. Are they presented in a catalog or brochure? Can it be mailed? How much do the catalogs or other sales aids cost? Some companies have overpriced catalogs and sales material. Will the company ship directly to your customers? Do you have to handle inventory? Make sure you weigh your retailing options here. If the company is weak in support in this area, you must seriously question their commitment to their products and their salability.
