Network Marketing Explained
Network Marketing is a system of marketing that employs multiple levels of people to market a product to consumers. The product is not sold in stores. Sales are not solicited through traditional media such as space advertising, direct mail, radio or television. Rather, it is sold person to person, by people to people.
A sales representative of an Network Marketing company is commonly called a distributor, an affiliate, a partner, or an associate. He (or she) is not paid a salary, but rather earns a commission on sales produced from customers he finds. But in addition, he earns commission on people he recruits and supervises to bring in additional customers.
Thus, the term network marketing.
Many companies indeed practice network marketing through such methods as, “Refer a friend and you‘ll receive a discount on your next purchase.” You may have seen it yourself as practiced by health clubs, salons, real estate, telecommunications, and more. Professionals such as doctors, dentists and accountants rely heavily on their patients or clients telling others about them. This word of mouth promotion is a form of network marketing. All such companies and professionals are simply aiming to get current customers to promote and market their product or service to other potential customers.
But true network marketing companies practice network marketing on a more professional and sophisticated level. They train their distributors with proven, easy-to-follow techniques designed to both build sales and earnings for the distributor…and multiply his earnings by recruiting and training new distributors to sell under him. A well-managed network marketing company will work closely with the distributor to help him attract and supervise those new recruits.
Network Marketing Versus Traditional Companies
In a traditional non-MLM company, a sales manager and sales reps are hired by the company and generally paid a salary plus commission. Sometimes the salary is an advance against commission. But here the company is limited to the number of sales staff it can hire by budget restraints.
The network marketing company only pays commissions, not salaries. Therefore, there are no limitations on the number of sales reps annetwork marketing company can recruit. This can help an network marketing company grow much faster than a traditional company with a smaller salaried sales force.
But each network marketing sales rep or distributor is given a special incentive traditional companies do not offer. He is given the opportunity to become a sponsor who can recruit sales reps to work under him and multiply his earnings by earning commissions on their sales as well.
It is this ability to earn commissions on as many as 10, 20, 30 or more newly recruited sales reps that has made some network marketing reps very wealthy.
How Network Marketing Works
1.
The Network Marketing company recruits a sales rep or distributor and trains him or her to successfully sell a product such as skin care, nutrition, or a service such as telecommunications or Internet services. The rep is paid a commission on all sales and ideally will generate numerous customers who hopefully become repeat customers.
2.
Once the rep has become successful in producing sales from a number of customers, the company trains this rep as a “sponsor” to recruit and supervise new reps to work directly under him. He now also earns commission on all sales generated by his downline recruits in addition to his direct sales commissions.
3.
The rep is generally advised to limit the number of his/her direct customers that are most interested in the business. That is because he/she must continue to supervise and motivate them to generate their own sales…plus train and motivate them to grow and enhance their business to sell more product.
The Commission Structure
Commission plans, also called compensation plans, are how network marketing companies reward a distributor’s production. Other industries (such as direct sales) may reward you better for getting a lot of customers; but they don’t reward you for training others.
It is important to recognize that most traditional companies devote about 50% of their sales budget to advertising and promotion. The network marketing company builds its sales through people, not through advertising media. Thus it spends its 50% of sales budget on commissions. This is what enables several downlines of reps to all earn potential significant incomes.
It is easy to see the potential. If you recruit, say, 10 reps as your downline and they average 10 customers each, you would be receiving commissions on your own sales…plus commissions on sales to 100 additional customers.
If you recruit 20 reps as your downline, and they average 20 customers each, you would receive commissions on the sales of 400 customers.
While the latter might be an optimistic goal, achieving even a third to a half of that downline total can produce a very substantial income.
Motivation: The Fun Factor
Successful network marketing companies are disciplined in scheduling regular district meetings attendee by managers, distributors, sponsors, and downline reps.
These meetings are fun social events designed to demonstrate the company’s strong support and keep all participants motivated and excited about both the company and the product or service it sells.
Latest success stories and awards are announced, and questions answered, all in a spirit of happy optimism, to ensure that all participants are energized to start the next day with enthusiasm and confidence.
Your Potential
If you affiliate yourself with a sound network marketing company offering a superior and beneficial product or service, that is well managed by competent and inspiring leaders, your potential earnings will be limited only by the time and energy you are willing to devote.
