KEY #3: The PRODUCTS
Guarantees? - Ask if the Products / Services have strong Money-Back CONSUMER SATISFACTION Guarantees in place (loyalty and repeat-buying are critical). Ask if the Company provides both a good PHONE service as well as a convenient ONLINE ordering capability (with 'privacy' and 'secure' protection). Do they direct-deliver to the customer (dropship)? Ask if there's a history of 'back- orders'. Ask if they have a fair Product Exchange and Return Policy in place. Will they willingly 'refund' consumer's money? Is it in writing? Do they honor it? Ask about Liability / Complaint Resolution.
Product 'Sector' - Other than for high-demand SIZZLE products and services (see page on TIMING), it is pretty much accepted that 'tangible products' are the best - the most profitable and stable in the NWM industry (although some might choose to disagree). And the NUTRITIONAL HEALTH / ANTI-AGING / PERSONAL CARE Sector (although perhaps the most 'competitive') is widely considered the BEST to pursue. As was mentioned earlier - the WELLNESS industry is expected to grow at an extraordinary rate - based on the aging of the 70-85+ million Baby Boomers. In the early 1990's, this sector alone did over $30 billion. By 2000, it did over $150 billion. It is estimated that by 2010, the Wellness industry will be a trillion dollar industry. Currently over 10,000 Baby Boomers are turning 50 every day. Add to that - North America's Health (Sick) Care industry is in total chaos, and grossly underfunded + the cost of medical insurance (for those who can still get it) is soaring. Put these realities together, and it is a Win-Win.
Remarkable? - Is there a BREAKTHROUGH Flagship Product or Service? It could even be a well known (existing) highly desirable product - but one that has been completely RE-INVENTED. Is it a 'category creator' - an 'attention-getter' - like the famous Purple Cow? If not, you will be invisible. Ask if the product(s) are good enough by themselves - that NON-networkers (customers) will buy them - and keep re-ordering, regardless of any Business Opportunity or any Compensation Plan attached? Ask if there are additional (back end) Products and/or Services that will 'complement' their lead product (creating transfer-buying, which will enhance your cash flow)? Ask if people get an 'emotional' attachment to the product(s) - if they give strong testimonials - sharing stories.
