What Are the Different Types of Network Marketing Jobs?
Network marketing is known by many other names, including multi-level marketing, direct selling, referral marketing and pyramid selling. These all refer to three basic network marketing jobs that involve buying a product, selling the product and recruiting others to sell the product. The different types of network marketing jobs include salespeople, recruiters and distributors. Network marketing, at its simplest, involves independent salespeople purchasing goods and possibly paying a startup fee in order to sell those products for a profit. A good example would be a door-to-door cutlery salesman who gets inventory from a distributor and sells to customers. What makes network marketing different from normal sales jobs is the salespeople’s opportunity to recruit other salespeople to work under them and taking a cut of the profit. Each of the three types of network marketing jobs entails elements of sales, management and logistics.
