adopting themselves to changes”.

3. For many people, the words “network marketing” or “MLM”
(multi-level marketing) conjure up images of hitting up your
so-called “warm market” (those two or three hundred people
near and dear to you as well as those unfortunate enough to
have crossed your path at some time in the distant past) and
pleading, cajoling, persuading, arguing and plain pressuring
them to join your program or organizing house parties and
presentations to make your pitch to a captive audience or
having to approach complete strangers while standing in line at
the supermarket

4. • The history of network marketing originates back to
the 1940’s where a company trading under the name
of “California Vitamins”....... Nutrilite Food
Supplement Corporation.
• In 1959 Richard DeVos and Jay Van Andel founded
the company Amway. Almost 50 years later Amway is
a well established network marketing company
operating in more than 80 countries around the world
and with more than 3 million business operators

5. • Network or Multi Level Marketing may be defined as a distribution
channel/ sales method wherein the manufacturer directly sells to
the customer at a preferred rate and also gives the customer
rights of selling the same product(s) for certain compensation/
incentive.
• Company does not employ full time salaried employees to sell and
market its product offerings.
• The customers acting as independent agents/ distributors/
network marketers/ independent consultants on behalf of
the company do this (very similarly like the life insurance
companies have independent marketing agents to sell their
insurance policies). 5
6. • Network marketing is a general term for a type of
marketing that is usually performed by an individual
instead of a company.
• It refers to the use of interpersonal or social networks to
market products and services for business purposes as
opposed to the more traditional and common practices
of wide-range advertising.

7. • Network Marketing is the Perfect Business…
• Every year, thousands of men and women leave
established, lucrative careers to pursue new
opportunities in the booming network marketing
• An industry that is now attracting former doctors, CEOs,
and others, seeking independence and financial
rewards.

8. • The firm motivates the customers of the company to sell its
products by way of Network Marketing (direct selling).
• The customer introduces other people to the system of MLM and
sells to them his firm's products. Now, after purchasing, these new
customers will automatically have agency rights for marketing the
same products to other people, thereby increasing sales and
recruiting more marketers (consultants).
• Hence this system of network marketing boosts sales and
also brings in new and more marketers by way of existing
customers working on behalf of the company and marketing
its offerings + the great business opportunity available with
the customer ship. 8
9. • The structure is designed to create a marketing and sales
force by compensating promoters of company products not
only for sales they personally generate, but also for the
sales of other promoters they introduced to the company,
creating a downline of distributors and a hierarchy of
multiple levels of compensation.
• The products and company are usually marketed directly
to consumers and potential business partners by means of
relationship referrals and word of mouth marketing

11. The 45 per cent or more of the margin or mark-up, which was
charged by the middlemen, is now given to the consultants.
The consultant gets the product direct from the firm, hence the
material is always genuine.
The products will be of superior quality at affordable prices and in
appropriate packaging. These products will not be available at retail
outlets, hence there is exclusivity of selling rights.
A detailed computerized monthly statement of accounts, along with
the payment is sent to the consultant. This statement also gives the
names, addresses and phone nos. of all the consultants in your
group.
The consultant gets a chance to do business without any
investment or liability

12. • The poor and middle class work hard for their
money and the rich have their money work hard
for them
I work for money My money works for me
