Direct Sales vs. Network MarketingTip! Plan properly: The best direct marketing campaigns work along with PR, traditional advertising, brand strategy and efforts by your sales force. Ultimately, each piece is part of a larger total company campaign and should work together. A direct sales company is very similar to a network marketing company in that you are still working as an "Independent Associate" for a larger company. With direct sales however, you are not required to develop a "downline" or recruit other members. All you really have to do to make any money is sell whatever the product or service is that the company offers. It's really no different that being one of those Avon ladies. Or selling cars. Or selling real estate. Yes, the company will likely encourage you to recruit other associates and there are two reasons for this. One, it provides the comapny with more sales people, giving them greater exposure and making more money. Two, they will pay you better if you recruit other associates and YOU will make more money.
Once again, like network marketing, there is a system already in place for you to duplicate. This is why direct sales organizations and network marketing companies are so appealing. You don't have to do any of the trial and error stuff to get your business going. It's already been done for you. All you have to do is follow the system in place and you are on your way to making money. A legitimate direct sales organization will tell you up front that you might not even make any money whatsoever. Should that put you off? No. It shows integrity in their business. They understand that some people will not follow the system, try to change the system, or simply quit the system. They also understand that some people will make money faster than others because some people will have a shorter learning curve than others. Tip! Frequency – So many times people try direct marketing and give up because of low response. They typically give up before giving the campaign enough time to work. There are numerous other reasons direct sales is more appealing than direct marekting, but we'll get into that in more deatil later. But there are numerous other similarities and understanding them will assist you in figuring out which is better for you. Or if you should look for another opportunity altogether.
