We have tried two different network marketing companies. Both resulted in failure…

The first was a product that I really believe in but just don’t use much (Nutrimetics – make-up and skin care). It is a great product and I’m still happy to buy it off someone else every other year or so. It was very hard to sell something I just wasn’t that interested in.

The second had an excellent business model but the research that they relied on to justify the “need” for people to use their products just would not stand up to university level scrutiny. There was nothing published in reputable journals and the studies they quoted were mostly “one-offs” done by people with no standing in the industry (outside of the network marketing company, that is). Some of the names used and studies quoted were enough (combined with that excellent business model) to get us excited and sign up. As time went on and I did more research I became more and more uncomfortable using the products and advising others to do the same. BTW (for the forum members who know what company I’m talking about) this only applies to the mega doses of vitamins – the shampoos and skin care products were great. Just before anyone gets defensive (as I know a few people here are involved with this company) I studied at the University of Wollongong for a degree in science with a nutrition major and what I’m stating here is only my opinion and if I’m wrong it won’t be the first or last time in my life Hence we dropped out of this one too.

I believe that to make network marketing work you have to love and use all of the products associated with the company you are signed up with. If you have a passion for the products then that will carry you a long way to success within the company… Just my conclusion after two failed attempts
