What is Network Marketing and Direct Sales?

๏ Network Marketing and Direct Sales are interchangeable terms

๏ Build a business without considerable overhead or investment capital…no inventory, no payroll, no franchise fees.

๏ The successful model is based on the leveraging of time. Example: I work 10 hours per week and each of my 5 team mates works 10 hours per week. I benefit from the sales of all of the business builders on my team and the 60 hours of effort.

๏ Products are only available through independent consultants and not in retail stores…distribution channel is from manufacturer to end-user.
