How to hire multi-level marketers
Got a product you would like to sell but are struggling to distribute? A multi-level marketing (MLM) specialist can help you start your own network-marketing business.
So how do you hire MLM specialists? What follows are some tips for finding top MLM specialists on Upwork.
How to shortlist MLM professionals
As you’re browsing available MLM consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:
- Industry fit. You want an MLM specialist who understands your industry so they can help you figure out how best to reach your target market.
- Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., setting up the corporate legal structure of an MLM).
- Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular MLM specialist.
How to write an effective MLM job post
With a clear picture of your ideal MLM specialist in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.
An effective MLM job post should include:
- Scope of work: From creating an MLM structure to developing marketing collateral, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
- Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
- Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or software, mention this here.
- Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
