Binary MLM Pay Plans - 5 Things You Ought To Remember
Binary MLM plans are genuinely popular today, so here are a few tips from my own experience.
First, for the newbies, binary MLM pay plans have one defining characteristic: you have just two "legs" in your organization... a team leg and a pay leg. Everyone you ever partner with will be placed in a continuous line, one under the other, down one of those two sides.
Here are 5 important things you should grasp if you're considering joining a binary MLM compensation plan:
1. Use fear of loss to motivate recruiting.
In a binary, each person who signs up is placed under the person who joined before them (in that leg.)
Not only does this offer "overflow" to your downline, which encourages collaboration and retention, but the savvy MLM sponsor can use this to motivate recruiting.
"I have 5 people's paperwork in front of me on my desk. If you join right now, I'll enroll all 5 of these under you. If not, that's cool... I'll just place you below them when you are ready to join."
There are "powerline" systems that automate this. It's powerful stuff.
2. Position is vital.
Negotiate your placement with your upline carefully.
Some positions get more overflow than others. Your sponsor is going to want to place you where it pays them the most, but be careful. If your sponsor places you at the top of their inside leg, you won't get any overflow unless they continue to sponsor.
On the flip side, requesting to be placed to maximize overflow will help you... but it may not help your sponsor as much. So, they may be less willing to devote time and effort to helping you to expand your business.
There is no clear solution, which is why my tip is just to tread carefully. Don't just join without reasoning it through and talking to your upline.
3. TNSTAAFL.
Lovers of Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe" know all too well... There's No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.
Even with the prime position and a complete company worth of overflow, a binary MLM still won't compensate you a dime unless you recruit yourself. Overflow has to be balanced with volume you bring to the table for it to be beneficial. So, don't join a binary reasoning that you're going to get something for gratis.
Also, when enrolling someone it's cool to show them about the overflow they may receive, but make sure they comprehend TNSTAAFL. It won't eliminate the sale... if anything, it'll prove them on you as a leader even more. And if you do lose them, you didn't want 'em anyway.
4. Teach your downline to enroll outside then inside.
The first person you enroll into a binary should go on the same side, either left or right, that your sponsor placed you on. This is considered your "outside" leg.
The second person you sponsor should go "inside," on the other leg.
The order is crucial... a lot of people join an MLM sponsor 1 person and give up. If that 1 person was placed outside, they will get overflow from their upline. If not, they will be working their business by themselves forever.
To defend against that, you should always teach "outside, inside."
5. The most stable binaries are hybrids.
Straight binary MLMs are no longer state-of-the-art. In fact, there were many problems with them.
But, when "merged" with a unilevel, coded bonus, or other commission plan, those problems can be easily solved. These hybrid plans-particularly the binary/unilevel-have proven to be very stable and fair to distributors.
They are the Mercedes of modern MLM payment plans.
