If you have decided to begin a new network marketing business opportunity, there are hundreds of choices and dozens of compensation plans to understand. Make sure you take the time to investigate and understand as much as possible about the potential company. Doing your due diligence could save you a lot of potential headaches.

The very first thing you want to review is the pay plan. Is it binary? Some type of matrix plan? Do you understand what you will need to do in order to receive commissions and bonuses?

Secondly, take a close look at the products or services. You want to see products that are both unique and in high demand. If the products are consumable, such as nutritional supplements or weight loss supplements, this will result in ongoing retail purchases.

Then consider the company itself. Is it a brand new start up? (could be risky) After about 3 years, the company should be in a growth phase? (is it?) After about 8-10 years, the company should be mature and stable. Do your due diligence. Go out to Google and do some research. If it's publicly traded, are there any problems out there with federal regulators? Is the stock price healthy or are financial analysts concerned?

Lastly, and most importantly, choose your sponsor and team carefully. This aspect is sometimes forgotten but it is extremely critical to your success. In my opinion, your team may be more important than the company that you choose to join.

If your upline is clueless, how are you going to be supported in success? If you have called several people to inquire about opportunities, have they responded in a timely manner? Do they promptly return emails? Do you resonate with their personality?

Look for a sponsor who understands and teaches Internet Marketing techniques. Savvy network marketers are now leveraging the internet to locate and recruit new distributors. You want to be part of a team that is doing this correctly and teaching new members to do the same. Can they teach you how to generate free leads with social marketing? Can they show you how to set up and use an autoresponder?

Keep looking until you locate a confident, knowledgeable leader. This person will be your new coach and mentor, so make sure that you feel comfortable with the choice. A good mentor, combined with a good company will greatly increase your odds of success.
