How To Pick A Company (Pillar 1)

Hi World!

One of the most important decisions that you'll make on your journey to achieving financial freedom is choosing a company. In previous posts, I've listed which compensation plans work well with the different colors. Unfortunately, the compensation plan is just one of the five pillars that you need to look for in a company.

Pillar 1 is Company Management Experience and Integrity.

What does this mean?

First of all, you may want to check out your company's Policies and Procedures. A lot of these companies have a P and P that's twenty, thirty, fifty, and even ninety pages long. Why are they so long?

So that you won't read them.

You should read them though. A lot of companies will have a clause in there stating that they can terminate you with or without reason. This means that they can just decide to stop paying you one day.

I'd suggest you read your Policies and Procedures backwards, since most of the really bad stuff is at the end. My company's P and P, however, is a total of three pages long, and there's no legal jargon to be found.

That covers the integrity part. Now let's move on to management experience.

A lot of MLM company CEOs can't even spell MLM, and are definitely not in the business to pay large sums of money to the distributors. They were never distributors, and have absolutely no idea about distributing. All they care about is moving their products.

If you don't have at least this pillar, then there's no reason to look for pillar 2, 3, 4, or 5.

To your success,
