How MLM Home Based Business Companies Steal From You

by Lee Williams

Have you ever taken a really close look at your mlm work from home opportunity pay plan?

MLM home based business compensation plans have always been the work of smoke and mirrors. Have you ever seen compensation plans with the terms “weak leg”, “strong leg”, “leg balancing”, “group purchase volume” or “flushing volume”?

These are just a few of the terms that are commonly used by many mlm home based business companies to hide the fact that there is a sizeable amount of commission money that is not going to be paid to the part-timer, the “little guy”. This is the terminology of the unfair pay plan, where money is taken from the part-timer and funneled up to the “heavy hitters” or back to the mlm work from home opportunity company.

When the compensation plan is explained, the company will proudly state that they pay on a certain number of levels. The question is, do you actually earn commissions on all of those levels? What do you have to do to qualify to earn commissions?

In most of these plans, you’ll need a certain amount of “Group Purchase Volume”. Often times the amount that needs to be produced in order to qualify is only achieved by a limited number of people. These people are usually the big hitters.

MLM work from home opportunity companies and the big hitters know very well that most part-time network marketers will never reach the GPV requirements and never qualify for commissions.

Does your company’s compensation specify that you must sponsor a large number of people who must also sponsor a certain number of people AND achieve a certain amount of “Group Purchase Volume” themselves before you earn commission?

Again, the mlm work from home opportunity companies and the big hitters know very well that most part-time network marketers will never reach the GPV requirements and never qualify for commissions.

Many binary plans require some sort of “leg balancing” and if your legs or income lines are not balanced, you do not earn commissions regardless of the amount of purchase volume.

Most part-timers struggle with these hard to achieve requirements until they finally realize they will never meet or exceed their goals. This where they realize that their dream of financial freedom is still out of reach. This is when they give up.

Eventually, even the full-timers begin to struggle. They realize that 90% of their downline are part-timers. As their downline members begin to drop out, it becomes harder for them to maintain the qualification requirements. Ultimately, this leads to the unavoidable conclusion, and the frustrated full-time network marketers eventually just give up and quit too.

The fact of the matter is, mlm home based business companies with group purchase volume requirements and complicated compensation plans are not fair to the part-time network marketer and they produce a very high number of dropouts.
