TAVALA: WHO SHOULD YOU JOIN WITH?
This question has come up several times in the past week so I thought I’d offer my 2 cents.
Network Marketing is a fantastic and interesting method of distribution of products and services. A company, in this case TAVALA, pays members or distributors, a commission for selling products rather than through traditional channels of advertising. Ads on TV, the RADIO, and in PRINT are very expensive so rather than spend those dollars on traditional advertising, a Network Marketing company pays commissions out to those people who share, sell and build teams. Network Marketing is non-discriminatory- in other words, anyone can join and it is not based on ones age, social status, color or race. It is an equal opportunity and one where the average person can create unlimited income. I believe it the BEST opportunity available for self-employed people to realize their dreams.
So the original question comes up:
Who Should You Join With?
Let’s say your cousin Joe or your aunt Edith are introduced to a product that they LOVE! The natural thing is to share the product with those they care about, even though they themselves are not actually ” building” a business. With TAVALA there is no joining fee and customers and customers pay the same low price…. which means that it is very likely that customers will be sharing the product even though they themselves can not earn commissions. Only members can earn commissions.
Let’s then say YOU ARE an entrepreneur and see the business opportunity and decide this is the company you want to build a team with. What do you do? Who do you join with?
Certainly there is a certain alliance with your own family and many (or perhaps most?) people feel an obligation to join with the person who shared the product or opportunity with them. However, most SEASONED Networker Marketers will take a longer term view and assessment of the situation. Some may still join with a family member or friend as they believe their upline does not dictate their personal success, while others, like Dave and I, believe choosing your upline carefully is a smart thing to do.
If you are serious about building a business you are looking at a relationship that you will want to nurture for many years to come. Asking questions and actually even INTERVIEWING your potential upline is a smart thing to do AND we encourage it.
Do you LIKE them as people? Are your values and style complementary? Do they have training in place and do you like the way they train? These are important as you are going to trust your contacts within this team structure. Are they available for 3-way calls or to answer questions or are they doing this as a part time hobby at best?
Use your upline as a RESOURCE but NOT AS AN EXCUSE!
Fortunately for those of us with TAVALA the compensation plan is very generous and there is also something called ‘dynamic compression’ so if you do join with someone who is not actively building the business, commissions will by-pass those unqualified for commissions will still roll up until all commissions are paid out. This was people who are building and qualifying for commissions are rewarded for their work.
Currently Dave and I are getting paid on some members who are 8-9 levels deep because those in between are either inactive or not qualifying to receive commissions.
When making this decision on who to join with go with your gut. We have a gal who joined our team, by choice, only to be poorly judged by her friend who gaven her the initial sample of product. She didn’t want to hurt her friendship so we transferred her distributorship to her friend….however 2 months later this gal said (word for word) “It was one of the worse decisions she has made in her life!”
If you join with someone who is not doing the business….ask who their upline is…and keep going UP until you find someone who IS working the business and ask them to mentor you. I’m sure they would be thrilled to know who you are and to work with you and your team as you build. Once you do join, make sure you then become the UPLINE that you want to have. WE LOVE WHEN PEOPLE IN OUR DOWNLINE CALL TO INTRODUCE THEMSELVES AND TELL US THEY ARE READY TO BUILD!
There is no right or wrong way to make your decision. If you decide not to join with your friend or family member because you feel there is a better place for you to be, thank them for introducing you to the product or opportunity and reward them in a way that will maintain the relationship. If it’s a true relationship, they will understand if they can not be the leader/trainer you need to them be.
Of course EVERYONE wants people to join with them and their team. Some people get into Network Marketing expecting it to be like a lottery TICKET and if they get lucky and sponsor a couple of ‘whales’ then they will become rich. Network Marketing is just that….. netWORK MARKETING- a REAL Network Marketing opportunity will not be a fast quick scheme to making money!
Are you a woman? Here is a cool statistic! 82% of women in the United States who made $100,000 a year or more did it through Direct Sales or Network Marketing.
Why? NETWORKING is in our DNA! We naturally share what we like with people we care about. We don’t call it selling, it is simply making a recommendation and seeing if the person is even open to taking a look. If we recommend a certain restaurant and you decide to go to another restaurant we don’t take it personal- and in this industry try NOT to take anything personal!
SPEAKING OF PERSONAL….We are personally looking for people who are looking to be mentored in our TAVALA business and those who are serious about earning a full-time income with TAVALA. If that is you, give us a call and let’s see if we are a good fit! We’ll share the many reasons we feel our team is the team to join with but check it out for yourself…. infact, click below for a brief summary on what joining our TEAM has to offer!
