The 5 Pillars are absolutely necessary to an MLM company, if the distributors are to have long term success. A company may have the greatest products and the best pay plan on the planet, but if it is lacking even one of the 5 Pillars, you could lose EVERYTHING overnight.
Whether you are looking for a company to join or simply want to evaluate the company you are already with, The 5 Pillars technology outlines a simple method to measure any company.
Quick review:
Pillar #1 – Does the company management have personal experience building their own networking organization? Have they done it with integrity?
Pillar #2 – Has the company passed the early failure time line? Are the company’s products time with the beginning of a massive trend of consumer demand?
Pillar #3 – Does the company have remarkable products that are reasonably priced?
Pillar #4 – Does the compensation plan pay part-timers?
Now let’s look at the fifth pillar.
Pillar #5: Does your Mentor offer a System for Success that will work for You?
• The team you join must have a system in place that will work for everyone who uses it.
• There must be complete resources available; books, videos and audios explaining the system.
• The system should be designed to Teach The System! Remember, you want to build your business, not baby-sit it.
• You must take full responsibility for learning the skill set. Your mentor can’t do that for you. An ‘open’ system will allow you to go upline for clarification and advice.
• If you don’t see the system working for you right away, don’t try to reinvent the wheel. As in everything we do in life there is a learning curve. Plug in and be patient.
• Personal development should have a big emphasis in the system. This is a relationship business, the more you know about yourself, the better you’ll relate to your clients and customers.
• DO NOT MAKE A LIST OF YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
• DO NOT BUY LEADS.
• Purchased leads require salesmanship. These methods do not work anymore. 90% of our population are NOT good salespeople. Not only that, most people don’t even like salespeople.
Before choosing a company or a system, make absolutely sure the answer is YES to the following questions:
“Can I do this?”
“Will my Mentor help me?”

Having a system that works really caught my eye. It’s is so important when it comes to business, because a system puts everything in perspective. And when everything is in place, the work becomes easy and organized. And when that happens we become more productive then comes success.
Hi Tim,
Education in this area is so important, because an awful lot of people don’t realize they are in a system that could crumble in an instant. If all 5 pillars are not in place, it’s akin to a chair that’s missing a leg or two. It just won’t hold you up.
see, A company may have the greatest products and the best pay plan on the planet to get their best benefits, but if it is lacking any of the Five Pillars, you could lose EVERYTHING overnight or even a day. Your income and Reputation are at stake.

Mika, I like to think of it like sitting in a chair. If the chair has only 3 legs, you’re going to have to sit very carefully to keep your balance. And if it has less than 3, you can’t sit in it at all.
That’s right tim i agree with you Have a system was really important to everyone that have a own business because it can helpful you to make your work easy and fast.

Hmm, this post really made me think. I never took the time to think about these 5 things. The first four are basic things, so I probably instinctively ran through those items and thought they were okay, but the fifth was thought provoking. I agree that most of us aren’t good sales people, and even more of us don’t even like them, so it was a good tip not to start out in that direction, because it will require much more energy than it can give back in success. A good mentor and a good system is essential. I think none of us should settle for less.
Thank you for focusing my/our attention to this problem!
Best wishes, Leonard Evenson
You’re welcome, Leonard. You know, most people don’t give any thought to the 5 pillars, and they don’t even read their own company’s Policies & Procedures to find out what it is they signed their names to. I know I didn’t. :-\ I’m glad I know now how important it is.

The 5 Pillars are very important, especially if we plan on staying in a company long enough to build a strong downline. We want a strong brick or stone building on a good foundation… not a straw house built on the sand.
