Ensure you don’t have all your eggs in one basket

I know some Avon reps who have built really successful businesses – it is sad to see them lose their business due to a head office decision.

An important reminder that if you don’t own your business (remember MLM / Network Marketing businesses you don’t own your business as your business is based of selling someone else’s produce / signing people up to the company) and can make all the decisions then you need to ensure you don’t have all your eggs in one basket.

All MLM businesses should be building their client lists, so if your MLM company does fold or choose to no longer operate in your country or as you are aligned with you have warm leads to start again.

Very disappointing to also see that representatives were not told prior to it being published on social media.
