Check the commission plans. Be sure to ask around and get to know the incentives available. Many companies require you to qualify first before starting to sell their products. Make sure these pre qualification tests aren't too tough else you may not be able to start selling.

Check the entry fee. Most network marketing firms will require you to pay an initial fee before starting out. Check for the rates and do a comparison check before starting out.

Training and support. Make sure to check for a reputed company that has a sound training and support system in place. This should be an organized, replicate system that you can use in turn to train recruits working under you.

Diligently employ their success strategies. Most reputed companies have been successful because they have chosen to stick with a tried and tested business model. In order for your network marketing strategy to be successful you need to imbibe and learn their strategy and tricks.

Supportive higher management. It is essential that the company you're dealing with has a supportive upper management. They should be interested in what you're doing, how you're progressing and offer ideas too.

Train your recruits well. A new recruit may be easily forgotten in the humdrum of activity. It is essential that you train your recruits well enough so that people working under you gain from profits. That way you also stand to gain a good commission.

Don't leave your regular job. Many people leave their regular 9 to 5 jobs just as soon as they see their network marketing business gaining even a little profit.
