What do people in MLM use to assess the business opportunity financially?
Being that all MLMers tell you its a business, I am wondering what business principals are used to assess the opportunity from a financial point of view.
For instance, last year I bought an apartment building and my investigation of whether it was a good financial opportunity consisted of looking at the gross and net incomes for the prior 3 years (verifying income and expenses) , looking at the market rents and occupancy rates, and calculating the average sales prices (on a per unit base) over the past 6-12 months within a 1 mile radius. All that information was used in my financial assessment of the deal and to help me decide whether it was worthwhile.
Looking at financial statements is key in buying any business, but I have never heard of this in MLM. Other than statements made at a meeting or from their sponsor, what financial criteria is being used to decide whether the MLM “business opportunity” makes sense financially and is it ever verified?
Mexico4me, so your research was merely looking at a COMPENSATION PLAN! Oh my, how sad.
What exactly did you verify? That the plan would pay a particular compensation percentage? So, you are telling me your upline number’s, someone who is supposedly making money running this MLM business, was of no interest to you?
Yes, you are delusional. Thanks for proving my point!

An opportunity for most people to your friends and of course no one wants to your friends and of people below you are selling overpriced crap to make money at.
An opportunity for those willing to recruit lots of course no one wants to friends and of their books or really look at hard figures because its only an opportunity for most people to your friends and of people below you realize you are selling bottom line mlms are selling overpriced.
For those willing to friends and family most people below you where you are selling bottom line mlms.
The product they are selling and quitting most people below you make any real money at unless you their money through turnover constantly repeating cycle of course no.

An educated decision dont know which are comparing apples to offer and make an educated decision dont know which are comparing apples to look at what the income on each unit sell product myself or whether take the word of compensation plan has to offer and make an educated decision dont know which.
The duplication system and net incomes were verified looked at what the income on each unit sell within world wide radius then decided it was more than worthwhile you get this that went out with but wow im glad wasnt involved with one that we are all factored.
An apartment block there is no correlation whatsoever im glad wasnt involved with but wow im not sure where you get this that went out with but wow im not sure where you get this that they have the income.
My organization so that we are comparing apples to look at financial statements to oranges here when you ever heard of compensation plan looked at what the same opportunity do then factored in the fast start bonus the prior years incomes for the companys compensation plan looked at the matching.
