What Is Direct Marketing?

One of the biggest problems of network marketing, MLM (multilevel marketing) and direct marketing is a negative impression most people have the industry. Direct marketing companies have gotten a lot of negative press, many companies have been targeted as schemes, or Ponzi scheme as well as pyramid scheme. We need to remember that many of our large direct marketing companies like Amway, Avon, and Mary Kay are legitimate MLM direct marketing companies.

One way to legitimize the direct marketing industry is through media coverage like Forbes Magazine, writing about the benefits and drawbacks of developing a direct marketing business.

Ever been confused about how a “home business” works? Of course you have, so have we. Most people have heard the term MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) and usually at the end of that the word, “scheme” is added – giving the whole business model a bad name. Well…let’s change your negative perception and tell you how your Great Aunt Joan, actually earned that pink Cadillac from Mary Kay! It’s brilliant real businesses” or “MLM’s” very interesting, they are successful. Many of the longest standing organizations in this country have this business model. MLM is a marketing strategy in which the sales force is compensated not only for sales they personally generate, but also for the sales of others they recruit, creating a downline of distributors and a hierarchy of multiple levels of compensation. Most commonly, the salespeople are expected to sell products directly to consumers by means of relationship referrals and word of mouth marketing. Sounds legit right – so why the bad press?

I listened to my thriving upline and decided to follow their lead. However Tracey was not very successful.”
