Binary MLM Compensation - 5 Things You Must Understand

Binary MLM plans are genuinely widespread today, so here are a few lessons 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 sponsor will be placed in a continuous line, one after the other, down one of those two sides.

Here are 5 points 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 below the person who joined before them (in that leg.)

Not only does this offer "overflow" to your team, which encourages partnership and retention, but the skilled 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 beneath you. If not, that's cool... I'll just enroll you beneath them when you are ready to join."

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

2. Position is significant.

Negotiate your position 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 assisting you to develop your business.

There is no obvious solution, which is why my suggestion 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 perfect position and a whole enterprise worth of overflow, a binary MLM still won't compensate you a cent 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 nothing.

Also, when enrolling someone it's great to show them about the overflow they may receive, but make sure they recognize 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 sponsor into a binary should go on the same side, either left or right, that your sponsor placed you on. This is considered your "outside" leg.

The second person you recruit should go "inside," on the other leg.

The order is significant... 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 guard against that, you should always teach "outside, inside."

5. The most stable binaries are hybrids.

Vanilla 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 compensation plan, those problems can be easily solved. These hybrid structures-particularly the binary/unilevel-have proven to be very stable and fair to distributors.

They are the Mercedes of contemporary MLM payment plans.
