For example, here is a list of the top most recognized network marketing companies in the United States today, not in any special order:

  • NuSkin
  • Herbalife
  • SendOutCards
  • Tupperware
  • Amway
  • Pampered Chef
  • Mary Kay

If you’re thinking about joining an MLM or network marketing company, having a look at this list of network marketing companies can let us know one important thing: all of the products sold by these companies are “evergreen” products.

Good Network Marketing Companies Have EverGreen Products

Evergreen products are those items that were in demand ten years back and will still be required in years ahead. On the list you see skin care products, weight loss products, greeting cards, storage products and more.

If you have seen an MLM opportunity that you are thinking about joining but their products don’t fall under this “evergreen” heading, you actually should think carefully about joining. Things that are hip and favored today can become quickly outdated.

MLM and direct sales truly does not work best outside of these sorts of products, and if the company goes belly up so does your business.

One or two terribly successful multilevel marketing or network marketing companies who have been in business for a number of years. Many others have come and gone before them. There are approximately 80 MLM companies that are going strong to this day.

Key Components of Good Network marketing Companies

For your network marketing business to be successful, the network marketing companies you should consider should already have achieved success, have a confirmed record and also have the following components:

Strong management: the reputation and the expertise of an MLM’s business management team is vital to success. They should have experience in business, plus experience in direct sales or at other network marketing companies.

Programs: The company must have solid sales and marketing programs for you to use. They should have all of the tools available for you and your downline to use to achieve success.

Compensation Plan:  The company should reward it’s associates both on the front end, and through residual payouts. We have many articles detailing the finer points of compensation plans.

Coaching Program: If you want help beyond the sales, marketing and training programs the company provides, look closely to see if they have a one-to-one mentorship program?

If you can find a good coach whom you like and trust, and who has leadership abilities, you’ll be staggered by the improvement of your private successes, just from a tiny bit of individualized help.

A Glimpse Inside a Few Network Marketing Companies

Having a look at just a few of the network marketing companies above, here is why they have survived the test of time:

Amway

Amway has sales above $8 billion yearly and is known for its energizing sales conferences.

They sell over 450 products that cover everything from household cleaners to vitamins. These are products that people will always need. The good thing about Amway is that a distributor doesn’t have to purchase products for inventory when they join, and when they leave, the company will buy back any inventory they’re holding. Not all network marketing companies do this buyback.

Hard to see why any person would wish to leave Amway!

Pampered Chef

Pampered Chef is renowned for its cooking demonstrations and for selling fine quality kitchen devices and cookware thru a distribution network of somewhere in the area of 70,000 representatives. Of course, their demonstrations are part of the attraction marketing model. In addition they have raised over $7 million to help hungry people worldwide. Who can go through life without purchasing cookware?

Mary Kay

Mary Kay is possibly one of the most well-known direct sales or network marketing companies today.

They have been selling individualized beauty offerings since 1963 and their home beauty sessions are the pinnacle of “attraction marketing.”

Top Network Marketing Companies–Safe Choices

Are you really thinking about trying a multilevel marketing opportunity? The best idea is to join one of those proven network marketing companies which have been around for several years.

There is no “ideal” length of time for a company to have been in operation, but you want to make sure the company you choose has already worked out all of it’s startup problems. Too many network marketing companies disappear within just a few short years and you have too much to risk if this is your first company.

It’s hard to believe there are more than 60 million network marketers worldwide at any particular time. Granted, a lot of them aren’t making any money. So what are the secret ingredients to success?

Team, coaching, support and marketing. When you have all these pieces, be prepared. It becomes really easy to position your business for success because after you know what to do and the way to do it, it is simple to achieve success with any of the network marketing companies.

To your continued success!
