Are You Part of the Good, the Bad, or the Ugly?

If you have ever attended a child’s sporting event, you know that you can witness the good, the bad, or the ugly at any time. If you are attending a tournament, you have an ever better chance of witnessing the ugly. Sometimes the very ugly in behavior comes from players, coaches, and even other parents. Avoiding ugly behavior, particularly in front of children, is generally preferable, but witnessing it can be a learning experience.

Multilevel marketing certainly has its share of the good, the bad, and the ugly. Any of these traits can be found in the products, the people, and the companies involved. If you have been in the business for any length of time you can certainly think of examples that fall into any of these categories. So, how do you find the good and avoid the bad and the ugly?

The best way is to start by doing some research. Products, companies, and people that fall into the bad and ugly department often leave a trail of dissatisfied customers and former distributors. Since most people in multilevel marketing are pretty savvy electronically, they have no problem telling the world how bad a product, a company, or someone involved in multi-level marketing is by posting it all over the internet. You can also look for complaints on sites like RipOff Report (www.ripoffreport.com). You can also look up complaints that have been filed with the Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov). Be sure you take into account that anyone can post information to some sites without any verification. Also realize that the incident may be an isolated incident. However, being listed on either of these sites indicates that more research is required. If you find a company, product or person listed multiple times or in multiple places, it is a pretty good indication that there is most likely a problem.

If you have not been in the business very long, or are looking to start in the business, you can also talk to others who have been multi-level marketing for a long time. The community of people who have been in the business for a long time is fairly small and most of them know the companies, products and major players to avoid. They have witnesses the bad and the ugly and learned their lesson. If you can, try to get the story from more than one source. The ugly can also be found in the form of grudges (founded and unfounded).

Avoiding bad and ugly products take a little more than just research. The products might be good right now, but you also need to look at future trends. How many other companies carry similar products now or will likely carry them in the near future? How do the prices and quality compare with what is available at a local store?

Doing a little research help you be sure that you are part of the good and not part of the bad and/or ugly.
