Business software is critical to your MLM success. No entrepreneur should be without business software that can help organize contacts, send out marketing letters, e-mails and newsletters and in other ways make prospecting for leads and growing a client base of repeat business an ever-thriving venture. 

Here are some of the things you must look at when choosing the best MLM business software. 

First you have to determine how big and how robust you want your MLM business to be. If you are content with a one person work-at-home local proprietorship from now until the day you retire and hand it off to your kids, then you can head to your local Office Depot, Best Buy or Staples and choose business software off the shelf. What’s important, before you decide on software is that you’ve formed your MLM business plan and know what you want from the company five years down the road at least. If you only have 10 repeat customers and a few that come along once in awhile does that mean that you can be content with MLM contact management software that can hold 100 contacts? 

Probably not. If you want your MLM business to grow you have to buy the equipment, hardware, software and other high-ticket items that will accommodate a little more than you expect – or hope – will be your capacity in five years. Any further down the MLM road than that is foolish for the purchase of business software for the simple reason that both computer hardware and software become obsolete by then and there’s undoubtedly going to be a new latest and greatest business software application out by then. 

Keep in mind as well that it’s not just the software that must accommodate more than your current needs. Your hardware must do so as well. It’s all well and good to have just a little bit more memory in that computer than you need know as long as it can accommodate more memory later as your MLM business grows. You also need plenty of USB ports for the peripherals you might add on later. 

Before you choose business software make the manufacturer or retailer prove that other MLM firms have used it successfully. Ask for references and testimonials and verify them. You don’t need a massive number of bells and whistles but what you don’t want to do is spend a lot of time down the road converting all your MLM data to a new system because you failed to realize last year that you’d expand this much. 

You’re going to need a fairly robust and flexible business software application no matter what its job. Multi-level marketing is very complex. You make money not just from selling but from recruiting as well. Compensation plans vary, and what you earn and the method for paying you can vary with every member of your downline. Your software must be able to manage that. It must be flexible enough to effectively handle your marketing, your sales, your inventory, your distribution and your recruiting efforts. While this might take several applications the fewer you need to deal with the easy it will be to administer your MLM.
