The key to long-term success in network marketing is duplication. This occurs only if you and your systems are duplicatable. Are they? Could anyone join your team, copy what you are doing and be successful? If the answer is yes, then you can skip this article. Otherwise, continue on as we discuss building a system of duplication.

First, is your business set-up. Network marketing is designed to be a home-based business, so if you’re using or contemplating an office or training center, this is not duplicatable. Although it seems more business-like, your prospective distributors will look at your set-up and decide they can't afford to do your business. I remember an entire company that required leaders to set up training facilities. The company did well for awhile, but is now out of business.

So, make sure that you have a home-based office set-up that any one could duplicate.
