If you’re anything like me, human, then you’ve made plenty of mistakes in life, not the least of which is choosing the wrong network marketing company.

Maybe it’s the fact that you didn’t read the policies and procedures before you signed your life away on the dotted line. It could also be that the person who signed you up kept the truth from you. More than likely it’s a combination of both.

Either which way, you’ve still committed your money, time and effort to your company. Maybe I should say you committed your family’s time, money, and effort. The choices you make affect your family and they’re in business with you-whether you like it or not!

Perhaps now you see that the grass isn’t as green as it was before you signed up. Here are just a few warning signs to determine if you need to re-evaluate your relationship with your company.

1. Your company keeps changing the compensation plan, but they tell you it’s for the good of all distributors. Rarely is a change in the compensation plan a benefit to the distributors, especially if it’s a publicly traded company.

Get out your nifty calculator and do the math and read in between the lines and see if you come out ahead. Keep an eye out on the misleading tricky words “you get paid up to.”

It doesn’t tell you:
a. How much you’re going to get paid.
b. “Up to” means there are many requirements and stipulations you must meet in order to get you’re your check.
c. That it could be a way out for the company to not pay out full commissions i.e. there’s breakage.

Breakage is basically when commissions are “earned” but aren’t paid out to the distributor force. This happens because a distributor didn’t qualify for the required volume to get paid their entire commission and so their commission or part of it goes to the company. Has this ever happened to you? Is this a great idea or not? You be the judge.
