Effective Multilevel Marketing Launch Event

Effective Multilevel Marketing Launch Event

If you are like most entrepreneurs and owners, by the time you are ready to launch, you will be approaching exhaustion and you will wish that you had started planning the MLM launch event far in advance. By taking time to organize the MLM launch event much earlier than usual, you will find that a little planning will go a long way to making your launch event much more effective.

One of the key principles that guides effective MLM launch events is the realization that your approach will greatly influence how future business builders in your field sales organization will present the business. Not only is the MLM event a time to introduce your MLM company to the world, but it will also define your culture, communicate your unique value proposition, and set the stage for the months that will follow. With proper planning, the event will allow you to communicate your company’s strength, the owners’ vision, the systems and infrastructure that instill confidence, and the particulars of your products and compensation.

In the world of event planning, six months is often too short a timeline! As early as possible, decide the best venue and secure commitments. The venue may be simple and humble, such as your corporate offices; or, it may be a popular destination with amenities and extras. There is not a “right” or “wrong” venue, but there is what’s best for your company.

“Pre-launch” refers to the period before your company’s “grand opening” or official launch event. Pre-launch is a practical—and often, wise—tool for channeling pre-launch enthusiasm and leveraging the energy that comes with the anticipation of something new and exciting. Some companies have exploited this energy into a significant business phase, lasting as long as a year before the company officially launches. Among all the advantages, one of the most significant is the opportunity to have the flexibility to meet the realities of when you are really ready to open for business.

The pre-launch (some refer to it as a “soft” launch) can be much less formal, and its timing can be much more flexible, than the official MLM launch. For example, if your target is to launch in April, but software issues push business into end of May before you can begin taking orders, a “soft launch” that begins May 1 allows you to gather the early leaders, inform them of logistics and timelines, and support the inevitable: they will be taking pre-enrollments and building momentum on sheer anticipation. Manage this carefully, and it will serve your company well.

Importantly, “launch” and “pre-launch” are almost not correct titles for what really must happen to get launched. Important communications, field leadership councils, marketing and design elements, early leadership identification and development, and in essence you are well into the operation of your business long before it is “launched” in terms of a “grand opening.” The following are key considerations for a MLM launch event:

Ø PHASE I – MLM Pre-Launch Activities

o MLM Pre-Launch Strategy & Calendar

o MLM Pre-Launch Communications Plan

o "Political" Communications o MLM Pre-Launch Newsletter
