Binary MLM Plans - 5 Important Things You Ought To Know

Binary MLM plans are really in favor today, so here are a few lessons from my own experience.

First, for the inexperienced, binary MLM pay plans have one definitive characteristic: you have just two "legs" in your group... a team leg and a pay leg. Everyone you ever sponsor will be placed in a straight line, one after the other, down one of those two sides.

Here are 5 issues you should remember if you're thinking of joining a binary MLM compensation plan:

1. Use fear of loss to motivate recruiting.

In a binary, each customer who enrolls is placed underneath the person who joined before them (in that leg.)

Not only does this provide "overflow" to your team, which encourages collaboration and retention, but the skilled MLM sponsor can use this to motivate recruiting.

"I have 5 people's enrollments in front of me on my desk. If you sign up right now, I'll enroll all 5 of these beneath 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 potent stuff.

2. Position is vital.

Negotiate your position with your upline with care.

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 opposite side, demanding 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 grow your business.

There is no crystal clear solution, which is why my suggestion is just to tread carefully. Don't just enroll without thinking it through and talking to your sponsor.

3. TNSTAAFL.

Fans 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 best position and an entire organization worth of overflow, a binary MLM still won't compensate you a cent unless you recruit yourself. Overflow has to be paired with volume you generate for it to be beneficial. So, don't enroll in a binary reasoning that you're going to get something for nothing.

Also, when recruiting someone it's okay to show them about the overflow they may receive, but make sure they recognize TNSTAAFL. It won't assassinate the enrollment... 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 organization to recruit 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 enroll should go "inside," on the other leg.

The order is paramount... a lot of people sign up to an MLM recruit 1 person and throw in the towel. If that 1 person was placed outside, they will get overflow from their sponsor. If not, they will be working their business solo forever.

To protect against that, you should always teach "outside, inside."

5. The best binaries are hybrids.

Plain binary MLMs are no longer state-of-the-art. In fact, there were several problems with them.

But, when "merged" with a unilevel, coded bonus, or other pay plan, those issues 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 contemporary MLM payment plans.
