Magic Pulsating Matrix - The Final Analysis

In "Magic Pulsating Matrix - MLM Meets Robin Hood pt. 4" I revealed the only other beneficiaries of this new style matrix are the reds. Now It's time for my final thoughts on the matter.

let's do a little review. The blues, who are only 15% of the world's population, & yet make up 90% of the people in MLM like new & exciting things. Unfortunately, they lose interest when their excitement meter stops tilting.

• Blues who are just paying the monthly product fee will love this comp plan because they can goof off & still get a check. However, blues who are building will quickly lose interest in this pay plan because they'll be paid far less than they expected. That's not the excitement blues want.

Yellows, who make up 35% of the population, are analytical folk. Some of them will see the holes in this comp plan & avoid it. Therefor, many of these people will not be prospects. Never the less, yellows are still drawn to matices because they allow the team player to place people under people.

• The yellows who do join will quickly realize this comp plan will impair their ability to help many of their team members. On top of this the yellow's efforts will not be rewarded according to the actual level of profit they are making for the company. These awesome nurturing team players will get beat-up & blame all of this on themselves.

Greens are also analytical like the yellows, & they also make up 35% of the population. Generally, greens spot the weaknesses in a comp plan & simply move on. However, these folks have a weakness for tools & gadgets. For this reason a few greens will join, but mostly for the product.

• Since the few greens that do join will do so for their love of the product they will not be prepared for the crummy monthly income. After a protracted period of lack luster income they'll start looking for another company to build an income … but they'll keep the product.

Reds, just like the blues, make up 15% of the population. For them there are only two important things in life: money & their egos. In order to get these folks excited they have to either be making mega-bucks, or be in charge, or both.
• Most reds don't even consider a matrix. They hate spill over & plans that don't pay to infinite levels of depth. Reds see this as robbing them of income they earned. However, a few reds will recognize the value of a comp plan that only pays the owner a residual income. For this reason I expect to see a few variations on this type of matrix, or the same one applied to a different company & product line.

The bottom line is that Mr. Andrews' new style matrix will destroy the dreams of those who join. The owners of companies who use this kind of comp plan will be the only ones who make any real money. And, more than likely, when the company fails the owner will sell the list he is building for a huge profit.

Perhaps the magic pulsating matrix is a well-intentioned effort to help those who like matrices. Or maybe it's just a list bulding tool. For my money However if a fair comp plan is what you're looking for, then I suggest you look for one that rewards reps for moving product to the consumer. They're out there.

I appreciate you,

I enjoyed your analysis on the pulsating matrix. I almost joined but being the careful person I googled PM+scam and got here. Thanks for highlighting the shortcomings. I will look for another place and a better comp plan.
