So you've just taken the leap and became a team member for Creative Memories, or you're thinking about it. Maybe you've been a part of the business for a while and you haven't quite got to where you need to go.

I plan on giving an overview of Creative Memories and their business opportunity. The pros and cons of the company. I come from a sales background and have quite a bit of experience in both MLM and the sales industry.

Creative Memories Overview
Creative Memories is a network marketing company with a specialization in custom scrap books. They really offer picture scrapbooking photo albums and organizational tools to keep track of all these different memories. They've been established since the mid 80's but have really taken off in the last 5 years. Their primary target is middle aged mid class clientele.

The main product line for Creative Memories sells is the keep sake photo albums. Which is probably the best kind of memory preservation for your money's worth. Creative Memories offers some of the best digital photo scrapping available for your money's worth. Organizational help is something that's more recently been added to their company as the economy has pretty much demanded it.


The Business
As long as MLM exists it will always be criticized by the general public, which we know, that you can't get around. The company is still real, legal and money is made on a daily basis.

You need to get customers and build a team. The reps you can't recruit are usually the people you try to turn into your clients, through, photo albums, scrapbooking or organizational tools. A good promotion to get to is Senior Unit Leader. SED is one of the highest levels to reach in Creative Memories. At the SED level you're making six figures and you pretty much do Creative Memories full-time.

It can be difficult to produce a lot of Unit Leaders or to even get there, mostly because of the nature of network marketing the this industry. One of the biggest problems reps have coming into this industry is having the trust of their clients or potential clients because you're dealing with the most important thing in people's lives, their finances.

A rep with no MLM background or connections can have a hard time building contacts and clients without prior experience. Learning about the company while building a solid list of prospects outside of friends and family can be a daunting task. Lead generation is the last thing that's thought about but should really be first on any business owners list. Between a full-time job, going through training and seminars, learning the business so you know what you're talking about is a lot of work for reps starting out.

It's a great idea to have a plan in place so that you have a direction in your business. Using the internet as my main source for leads has helped me build my business for practically nothing.
