Of Bugs and Ginea Pigs

Why is it a mistake to get in on the ground floor of a new MLM company?

It's a mistake because for the first few years there are bugs in the system. Computer glitches. Incomplete phases. Changes to the compensation plan. Customer service in training. Ordering hang ups. Shipping delays. You name it. Any number of things can happen.

Now no system is perfect. That's true. Most company's will mess up in one way or another. Labels will be put on upside down or whatever. And the problem will normally be handled immediately and expertly.

However, these glitches, etc., get rarer and rarer as time goes by. The major problems have been worked out of the system. The nastier bugs have all pretty much been taken care of. And the rare occasion that a problem arises is no longer a big deal.

Who suffers while the company is going through growing pains? Who are the ginea pigs? Isn't it the people who come in on the ground floor?

The truth is most people who come in on the ground floor end up leaving the company almost immediately after it launches because it doesn't take long for them to realize their mistake. Most are wise and cut their losses.

But the company continues to agressively recruit more and more distributors to sustain it and it does so by consistently using the ground floor opportunity line it used right from the beginning.

It's usually a ground floor opportunity for the first two years until the bugs and the ginea pigs are all dead or mostly under control.

And that, in a nutshell, is why it is a mistake to ever get in on the ground floor of a new MLM company.

P.S. the worst part is when the darn comp plan undergoes yet another change!
