I am going to first assume that you believe in the product and are enthusiastic about it. If you aren’t sold on the merits of the product or service, don’t go any further – you won’t be successful. Beyond that, your product or service must satisfy three requirements: 1. Sufficient demand to consume existing supply. 2. Product has a clear unique selling proposition. 3. Product or service promotes repeat purchases from existing customers (customer retention). Demand and Supply There must be sufficient demand for the product or service. If there aren’t enough people that need/want want you’re offering, you’re dead in the water from the start. Don’t mislead yourself by thinking that it’s strictly a numbers game and if you talk to enough people, you can find a market or that your product will appeal to everybody. The product or service needs to be attractive to a specific group or groups of people. A good rule of thumb is that if you can’t visualize your typical customer (where they live, what hobbies they have, how old they are), you probably don’t have a viable market. The Small Business Administration has some good resources for market segmentation. Determining the demand for a product can be a little tricky. The easiest way to assess demand is to look at similar or substitute products. Success of these products demonstrates a demand. The drawback is where the market is saturated. In other words, there is too much supply and not enough customers. If you can’t count your major competitors on one hand or if one or two suppliers hold a dominant position in the market, you’re best to look elsewhere.

Like Your Customers and Help Them To Like YouBefore anything else, you really have to like people. If you are strictly a tech head, and hate dealing with people, you have Unique Selling Proposition This is the most important factor to consider in choosing a product/company to represent. A unique selling proposition (USP) is a competitive advantage that you have in the market place – it’s why people want to do business with you. One of the most powerful examples of a USP is that your product is unique. In other words, Jane & John Doe can’t go down the street to their favorite store and buy what you’re selling. This is the best USP that you can hope for because you don’t have any competitors. This situation is usually short lived because there will inevitable new entrants in any successful product market. Another USP that many of the nutritional products marketed through MLM programs rely on is that the product has unique qualities that set it apart from those of competitors. This requires intensive marketing because you have to convince Jane & John Doe that your product offers benefits that the product that they can buy from their favorite store doesn’t.
