What is Network Marketing
It seems like an easy question, but when you stop to think about
it could you really give an accurate description of what network
marketing is? If you were asked this question right now how
would you answer it? Would you say, "It's a business where you
recruit people and then they recruit more people", or could you
really give someone a concise answer?
To be honest . . .
the reason why I am writing this article is because, although I
have been an active network marketer for over two years, I doubt
my own ability to answer this question without stumbling over my
words.
According to "Network Marketing for Dummies" By Zig Ziglar and
John P Hayes here is the full concise definition of network
marketing (p. 2):
Network Marketing is a system for distributing goods and
services through networks of thousands of independent
salespeople, or distributors. The distributors earn money by
selling goods and services and also recruiting and sponsoring
other salespeople who become part of their downline, or sales
organizations. Distributors earn monthly commissions or bonuses
on the sales revenue generated by their downline.
Now that's the technical definition, but I want to ask you a
question . . .
What is network marketing to you?
Here's what it is to me . . .
It's the most powerful wealth creation vehicle on the planet.
It's the gold rush of the 21st century. It's a powerful life
changer. It's hard. It's frustrating at time. It's a roadmap to
financial freedom. It's a character builder.
I guess when you sum it all up, network marketing is simply
GREAT!
