Is networking selling? The term network marketing confuses people. Network marketing or multi-level marketing generates sales through a layered network of product representatives. Each of these representatives is given incentive to recruit still more committed reps. Multi-level marketing sales pitches can come across as vague and evasive.
Networking is marketing. When you network you are building a network of people who know about you and the products or services you sell. They might buy from you or help you. Networking is a long-term strategy, not a quick-sell scheme.
