Advanced salesforce enhancement system for beauty MLM company

Push for progress

Scaling team growth with the right management approach

A mid-sized beauty and cosmetics MLM company offered premium skincare and makeup products through a network of independent beauty consultants. The company has successfully established their presence in the market with a strong product line and a significant number of consultants in their sales network. The company faced challenges in managing and scaling their extensive consultant network. The remotely working salesforce added to the difficulties in efficiently communicating and collaborating which caused delays and misunderstandings.

The Beauty brand had basic training programs to support their consultants, however, team leaders struggled to mentor new team members and monitor their performance. Maintaining engagement across multiple downline levels became impractical and this resulted in higher consultant attrition rates and inconsistent team performance. Their existing software platform was incompetent to process multi-level commission structures for larger consultant teams. This led to delays and errors in payments.

The situation necessitated an advanced MLM platform that can efficiently manage larger consultant teams, ensure on-time and accurate commission payments and provide the business with substantial growth opportunities. The beauty MLM company sought an innovative approach to consultant training and engagement through which they can improve productivity and ensure growth for their consultant network.

Taking into consideration the challenges the company is already facing and the ones that may arise in due course, Epixel MLM Software set up an expert team which would foresee the challenges and develop a future-ready solution for the beauty MLM company to effortlessly manage and expand their operations.

Challenges and solutions

Conquering the hurdles with tech-powered leadership

Our team of product development experts compiled the most relevant and advanced technology stack to create a fitting solution for the Beauty MLM business. The path was not without challenges.

Managing consultant resistance to adoption: Some consultants and established team leaders initially resisted adopting the new tools, possibly fearing the complications involved with technology usage. They weren’t experts in handling tools and systems.

We assured full support and launched a phased rollout approach with software training programs for leaders and reluctant consultants. This was expected to achieve an adoption rate of 90% within the first three months.

Maintaining personal connections within the network: When the team size started to expand, keeping the consultants connected was an arduous task. We had to preserve their personal connections and help the company cultivate a collaborative culture.

The smart automation features led us through the phase by identifying key moments for personal intervention. Leaders and consultants were able to stay connected at all times despite physical distances.

Ensuring consistent training quality: Consultants with varying skill levels and technical expertise needed an adaptive training system. The system also had to keep track of their progress and maintain their performance standard. Applying these standards across rapidly growing consultant teams posed considerable challenges in development and implementation.

We developed a standardized yet customizable training system with interactive learning tools and personalized learning paths that brought in improvements in training completion rates and consultant performance.

Managing complex commission structures: The Beauty MLM company operated in diverse markets with varying compensation structures to align with their local organizational goals. Within the organization commissions varied for different ranks and levels. In addition, bonuses were to be implemented for various achievements and sales milestones. These complexities added enough fuel to our challenge of developing an accurate commission engine.

The solution was developed with great caution because we understood even a hairline flaw could put the company at a greater risk of losing profits. Our commission management system with built-in validation rules and automated calculations guaranteed accurate and timely commission payments even with increasing number of users.
