I have had success with several MLM programs in my time as part of the multilevel marketing industry. I have seen all kinds of products and programs and I am always trying to keep up with what is current in the field. The Numis Network is a new contender in MLM but the people behind it are not.
I always look at the same three things whenever I look into an MLM program such as the Numis Network. I look at the product, the company and its founders, and the marketing materials made available to the distributors.
Collectible coins are not new but I do not know any MLM product other than the Numis Network that is specializing in collection worthy games. In the MLM industry originality is always beneficial for a product. However the collectibles market is notoriously soft during economic down turns.
At this time the Numis Network is only offering MS70 American Eagle Silver Dollar coins. They have future plans to add different coins from various collectible coin certification groups to their product line. If the current recession continues to turn around the Numis product might look very appealing.
The people behind the Numis Network are not new to the MLM industry. Well, most of them are not. Three of the four founders have lots of experience with the MLM business. For instance Ian Cordell and Christopher Kent were partners and founders of IDSTC. IDSTC was a company that specialized in creating web based tools to make it easier to grow, develop, and manage an MLM business. Jake Kevorkian was president of Vaxa and currently hosts Consumer Education Network on AM Radio out of Tampa Bay. To make sure that somebody who knows about coins was involved, Mike Mezack, „celebrity numismatist“ of the Home Shopping Network was brought on board.
When you look at the accomplishments of Ian and Chris with their previous venture, IDSTC, it only seems reasonable to expect that the back office tools and marketing materials provided by Numis Network will be top notch. The quality of these tools will be irrelevant if a distributor lacks the marketing knowledge needed to use them effectively.
The Numis Network is still a fairly new MLM opportunity having launched as recently as June of 2009. Often people think getting into a MLM program early is the key to success. The real key to success in MLM is marketing knowledge. Joining a program like Numis just increases your potential that much more.
At the end of the day the biggest factor in success or failure with the Numis Network or any other MLM program is the knowledge of the distributor. If a distributor does not have a firm grasp on how to effectively market they will be frustrated with their results. If you plan on taking advantage of Numis or some other MLM program I cannot encourage you strongly enough to educate yourself on how to market.
