Binary MLM Compensation - 5 Issues You Need To Remember

Binary MLM plans are undoubtedly in favor these days, so here are a few tips from my own experience.

First, for the newbies, binary MLM pay plans have one specific characteristic: you have just two "legs" in your organization... a team leg and a pay leg. Everyone you ever partner with will be placed in a direct line, one after the other, down one of those two legs.

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 under the person who joined before them (in that leg.)

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

"I have 5 people's enrollments 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 place you under them when you are ready to join."

There are "powerline" systems that automate this. It's potent stuff.

2. Position is important.

Negotiate your placement with your upline thoughtfully.

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 helping you to maximize your business.

There is no crystal clear answer, which is why my tip is just to tread carefully. Don't just join without thinking it through and talking to 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 prime position and a complete organization worth of overflow, a binary MLM still won't pay 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 gratis.

Also, when sponsoring someone it's okay to tell them about the overflow they may receive, but make sure they understand TNSTAAFL. It won't eliminate the deal... 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 downline to enroll outside then inside.

The first person you enroll into a binary should go on the same side, either left or right, that your sponsor placed you on. This is called your "outside" leg.

The second person you enroll should go "inside," in 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 defend against that, you should always teach "outside, inside."

5. The best binaries are hybrids.

Plain binary MLMs are no longer cutting-edge. In fact, there were many problems with them.

But, when "merged" with a unilevel, coded bonus, or other compensation plan, those problems can be easily solved. These hybrid plans-particularly the binary/unilevel-have proven to be very stable and fair to distributors.

They are the BMW of contemporary MLM compensation plans.
