The MLM Dream and Your Policies and Procedures. What do they have to do with your MLM Success?

Throughout the world of MLM, there is one dream that almost everyone has in common. They have the dream to build a big MLM team with a big income and then retire from their MLM responsibilites and continue to earn that big check.

Does that sound like you, or people on your team?

Over the years, this dream of retiring with a big MLM income has been a big selling point for bringing people into the business. Thirty years ago it may have been true. But is it still true today?

Check out this example from a company’s policies and procedures. In this policy, IMC is the company’s designation for their distributors.

"IMC Supervisory Role. Any IMC who sponsors other IMCs must fulfill the obligation of performing a bona fide supervisory role in the sale or delivery of product to the ultimate consumer and in the training of those sponsored. Each IMC must have ongoing contact and communication with their sales organizations and also provide management supervision. Examples of such supervision may include, but are not limited to: written correspondence, personal meetings, telephone contact, voice mail contact, electronic mail contact, providing training sessions, accompanying individuals to Company training, and sharing genealogy information with those sponsored. Each IMC should be able to provide evidence to the Company semiannually of his/her ongoing fulfillment of sponsor responsibilities."

There are similar statements in almost every company’s policies and procedures. They may be worded a little differently each time but all say the same thing that you don’t want to hear:

YOU CAN NOT RETIRE AND KEEP YOUR INCOME.

Let’ start by looking at the word “ongoing”. It means current, staying current, being actually in process, moving forward. With the word “ongoing” in this statement then you can’t ever stop doing what they are saying you must do.

How can you retire and still keep doing all of this? For that matter, how can you get sick and keep doing everything?

Do companies actually enforce a policy like this? Don’t ask your upline, they will always say of course not, don’t worry.

Why did the company put it into their policies and procedures if they don’t intend to use it? Give the CEO a call and ask him to remove it since they say they would never use it. They will not do that for you, because of course, they intend to use it. That is why they included it.

There is a young lady  that found out the hard way. She was pregnant. And half way through the pregnancy her doctor prescribed bed rest. No activities. No going to meetings. Ninety days later the company invoked a policy like the one above. They terminated her and she lost the team that she built.

Now if the company is going to steal your dream of building a big income and retiring, right from the beginning with your contract, then why would you bother to build the company? The only answer is that you didn’t read your contract, your policies and procedures. You don’t even know the rules.
