How Does Network
Marketing Work? |
Independent salespeople, referred to
as distributors (associates, independent business owners,
franchise owners, sales consultants, consultants, independent
agents, etc.), represent the parent company and are rewarded a
commission relative to the volume of product sold through each
of their independent businesses (organizations).
Independent distributors develop
their organization by either building an active customer base,
who buy direct from the parent company and/or by recruiting a
downline of independent distributors who also build a customer
base, expanding the overall organization. Additionally,
distributors can also earn a profit by retailing products which
they purchased from the parent company at wholesale price.
Just as your employer leverages your
time, through Network Marketing, you can leverage the time of
others. What does that mean? Each person is doing a small
amount, gathering customers and introducing new people into your
business. You are looking at a business model that will take a
few years to produce a full-time income, so don’t give up your
day job just yet. It will require 5 to 20 hours of work a week
to become successful in Network Marketing. This is not a “get
rich quick overnight” program… It never has been and it never
will be.
Network
marketing is based on word of mouth advertising, which is the
best form of advertising. Think about it… when you watch a great
movie, you tell people about it. When Sam’s Club or Costco moved
to your area, you joined their buying club and started telling
everyone how much you saved.
Major advertising agencies and
companies count on this. This is one of the things that we do as
network marketers. The major difference with Network Marketing,
is that we get paid for our word of mouth advertising.
One of the most often asked questions
is, “Will I have to sell products and services?” No one likes to
have a salesman or woman come to the door and sell them
products, right? We all hate to go to the car dealers, where you
are swarmed with 5 different sales people all trying to get you
to buy from them!
So how are we different? We just
recommend products and services that we like and personally use.
If we know it’s good, and personally use it, recommending it to
our friends and family or anyone else is very easy. |
