A Regulatory Deposition on Direct Selling

In this hyper-paranoid regulatory environment for Network Marketing, most companies are running from their roots and seeking creative and reactionary ways of “reinventing” how they do business. Customer-centric is the call sign of the day. Social selling, social retail, and a myriad of other more modern labels are assigned to what we do as a profession. This does not change what we do. Direct Selling/Network Marketing defined: • We sell products to our network. • We often do so just by offering a link for them to order. • Our network is made up of people with whom we are already connected to in some way (warm market). • We only sell products we personally use and love. • Our customers receive a 100%-satisfaction guarantee. • We can earn a modest income doing so. We may also offer our customers the same option of selling the products they love. In fact, the rule that defines Network Marketing is that every customer may also acquire other customers and earn a profit. When every customer may acquire other customers, an exponential growth of sellers is possible.

In fact, the more sellers you have, the more customers you have. And the most ethical and expeditious way to acquire the largest number of customers is to promote the option for each of THEM to acquire THEIR own customers. The political correctors like to say it is called Direct Selling, not Direct Recruiting . Cute. They do not actually understand how the model works. They have probably never built a Direct Sales/Network Marketing business – ergo, a talking blog head. Ninety-eight percent of the “Direct Selling Association” members are actually Network Marketing companies, defined by the fact that their customers may all choose the option of acquiring other customers, creating the exponential growth of the sales organization: 1-4-16-64-256-1024-4096, etc. (No team EVER grows in perfect math, but rather in a random and organic pattern.) And 95% of those who “try” to build a network of customers fail to do so. But some do.
