Can online-only starter kits be done in a way that ensures a high perceived value?

There has been a clear trend in recent years to offer sales and marketing support online and in the cloud. In reality, the developmental costs are equal or more in providing such support. The quality of support is quite significant, including: all company forms, distributor agreements and terms, policies and procedures, administrative housekeeping rules, product descriptions and updates, compensation plan descriptions and updates, training, communication tools, back office management of down line sales performance and financial reporting, replicated websites, the list goes on. In reality, the real and perceived value of emerging online sales and marketing support will far exceed the limited (physical) sales kits of “yesterday.”

If you are interested in attending the Starting and Running the Successful MLM Company conference visit our conference page, view our speaker list, or get more details. All executives/owners of direct selling companies are welcome to attend. Call 800-231-2162 to register.

Our next Starting and Running the Successful MLM Company Conference takes place October 22 and 23, 2015 in Las Vegas. View our conference flyer and speaker list online. Participate in our Innovation Campaign for your chance to receive TWO FREE TICKETS to attend our next conference.

They all fall under the general umbrella of direct sales. Historically, direct selling only involved direct person-to-person sales, often door-to-door. In the 1950’s, companies such as Amway, Shaklee and Mary Kay introduced to the direct seller the ability to sponsor other sellers, to build a sales organization and to receive a override commissions on the sales in their sales organization at multiple levels. This is the origin of MLM, multilevel marketing and network marketing, which are all the same thing, i.e., direct sales with a multiple level compensation opportunity. In addition, in the 1950’s, companies such as Tupperware and Home Interiors applied group selling, in the home, to direct selling and from this origin grew the party plan. Today party plan selling is direct selling and virtually every party plan company is also MLM because it rewards sellers for sales in a sales organization built by the direct seller.
