The Company
With that in mind, and after narrowing your selection down to a specific industry and a handful of companies the next thing to scrutinize is the individual companies themselves. This can be done by researching the company history and management. If they are established, legitimate, and have a solid management team you should find information forthcoming and freely available. If desired you should also be able to visit their facilities and examine for yourself the operations of the organization or you should be able to find and speak to someone who has done just that.

In addition the these checks you should understand the philisophical mindset of the organization.  In network marketing the company should truly have a strong desire to aid its representatives in their personal growth and development.  Further the company should have place an emphasis on their product and teaching its representatives how to market it.
