Binary MLM Compensation - 5 Issues You Must Remember
Binary MLM plans are actually popular now, so here are a few tips from my own experience.
First, for the newbies, binary MLM pay plans have one special characteristic: you have only two "legs" in your organization... a team leg and a pay leg. Everyone you ever sponsor will be placed in a straight line, one under the other, down one of those two sides.
Here are 5 things you should grasp if you're thinking about joining a binary MLM compensation plan:
1. Use fear of loss to push recruiting.
In a binary, each person who signs up is placed underneath the person who joined before them (in that leg.)
Not only does this provide "overflow" to your downline, which encourages partnership and retention, but the savvy MLM sponsor can use this to motivate recruiting.
"I have 5 people's paperwork here 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 enroll you underneath them when you are ready to join."
There are "powerline" systems that automate this. It's powerful stuff.
2. Position is crucial.
Negotiate your placement with your upline mindfully.
Some positions get more overflow than others. Your sponsor is going to want to place you where it helps 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 assisting you to build your business.
There is no clear best solution, which is why my tip is just to tread carefully. Don't just join without reasoning it through and discussing it with 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 perfect position and an entire 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 in for it to be worthwhile. So, don't join a binary reasoning that you're going to get something for nothing.
Also, when recruiting someone it's cool to reveal them about the overflow they may receive, but make sure they understand TNSTAAFL. It won't eliminate the deal... if anything, it'll sell 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 sponsor into a binary should go on the same side, either left or right, that your sponsor placed you on. This is known as your "outside" leg.
The second person you sponsor should go "inside," on the other leg.
The order is important... a lot of people join an MLM enroll 1 person and drop out. 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 guard against that, you should always teach "outside, inside."
5. The best 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 compensation structure, those problems can be easily solved. These hybrid structures-particularly the binary/unilevel-have proven to be very stable and fair to distributors.
They are the Cadillac of modern MLM pay plans.
