Market and Investment

Donald Trump is not afraid of a little publicity. He is making news again by buying out MLM company Ideal Health, which he plans to re-launch as the Trump Network. Complaints are filling the air about this campaign, but they are mostly focused on Donald Trump and not towards the company.

First among the Trump Network complaints are those who remember what Donald Trump has said about multi-level marketing in the past. Way back when Johnny Carson hosted The Tonight Show, Donald Trump was a guest. He openly mocked the MLM Company Amway, and the people involved in that business.

Just a few years ago, Oprah Winfrey reportedly asked Donald Trump what he would do if he became bankrupt again. He said he’d start an MLM. The audience went “booooo”, and he said, “That’s why I’m sitting up here and you’re sitting down there.” Some of that Trump charm to warm the heart. But we’ve seen what’s happened to real estate, should we really have Trump Network complaints now?

The company is working hard to make sure it has enough of their products ready to go when the big launch comes. They don’t want there to be Trump Network complaints about slow delivery or backorders. I don’t think there will be a problem with quality, these are very good products. But I will be interested to see how these issues are handled by the company. Delivery problems would be a public embarrassment to the Trump Network.

Trump Network complaints will be coming from two distinct groups; either the people who are buying the products, or by the people who are selling the products. This company has to do double duty on the customer service front, since it is really two businesses in one.

Speaking of the Trump Network complaint department, here’s my big issue. It’s not with this company in particular; it is with all of internet marketing in general. I don’t think MLM companies give their members the education they need to truly be successful.

To have big time success you need to have a strong marketing knowledge base. MLM companies are not really all that up to date with the latest marketing techniques, and they focus only on the techniques that make the most people make the most money. But there are people everywhere making amazing money using one or two obscure techniques they didn’t learn from their MLMs.

Thanks to the internet, new marketing techniques can literally spring up over night. Big companies can’t adjust their training fast enough to compensate. Online marketing education courses can.
