How to advance in business from a small business.
Anyone in business would like to progress in their line of business. But, how to advance in the competitive business world starting from a small business? An MLM type business is very suitable for people who have extra time to deal with managing the sale of products. In general, the people who get involved in such businesses are students, retirees, housewives or simply people who have more free time at their disposal. Starting an MLM type of business is not very difficult, but you need minimal knowledge of business, accounting and legislation or a simple accounting software suitable for this type of activity. According to statistics, the majority of people who prefer MLM businesses are found to be ladies.

To evolve a small business into a larger enterprise, it is vital to assess your current status, set specific objectives, create an online presence, diversify your product/service offering, streamline operations, ensure customer satisfaction, increase the market reach, invest on marketing and advertisement, establish strategic alliances with other firms, improve financial management systems, build an effective workforce or team of employees and upgrade technology and infrastructure. Seek for funding opportunities; and reinvesting profits back into the business for expansion. These steps will keep you on the growth trajectory and make sure that as a growing company you are financially sustainable. Being aware of industry trends; monitoring KPIs; creating a scalable business model; adhering to regulations and legal requirements; as well as ploughing back profits into the business for growth are paramount. You need to regularly reevaluate your strategies as you go forward in order to succeed.

Reading through the opening post, I saw the original poster mention multi level marketing as a good strategy to grow a business. I have a contrasting view to that. There is no way one can improve a business using multi level marketing. When you try to tell someone anything that has to do with a pyramid scheme in my location, they seem to get angry ans won't be interested in it.

I think other strategies like direct target marketing and market segmentation would help a business to grow more than using a multi level marketing approach. Anything that uses the model of multi level marketing is exploitative and won't stand for a long time.

I do not even consider MLM a legit business, I think it is a scam. The primary reason why I think MLM is not a proper business is because yo make money just by recruiting paying customers and you have to cheat on people to make money. In my opinion, your business needs to sell legit products, you can grow from small business to big business by introducing more products, spreading to newer markets, and generating more sales.
