The Model

POWERED BY THE

ORIGINAL NETWORK EFFECT

What do these all
have in common?

NETWORKING.

"The purpose of a business is to create customers who create customers."

— Robert T. Kiyosaki

"It is not what you know.
It is who you know."

— Unknown

"Your network is your net worth."

— Porter Gale

"It is not who you know.
It is who knows you."

— Rory Vaden

"The richest people in the world build networks. Everyone else is trained to look for work."

— Robert T. Kiyosaki

It Started With People

WE ARE THE ORIGINAL NETWORK EFFECT

For thousands of years, people have exchanged value with one another.

  • Before there were corporations,
    there were communities.
  • Before there was advertising,
    there were conversations.
  • Before there were referral programs,
    there were relationships.
  • People bartered.
  • People traded.
  • People supported one another

Entire communities survived because people shared resources, skills, and services.

The Exchange has changed, but the behavior remains.

Exchanging value is human nature.

Original Network Effect

The World
Still Works This Way

DIFFERENT NAME.
SAME ORIGINAL EFFECT

People have been influencing the decisions of other people for as long as people have existed.

We share because something mattered enough for us to talk about it. Businesses simply learned to build around that reality.

Every business, no matter how big or small, is trying to accomplish the same thing:
CREATE TRUST.

Business Trust Channels: Referral Programs, Affiliate Marketing, Loyalty Award, Customer Reviews, Influencer Partnerships, Word of Mouth

YOU SHARE VALUE

  • This restaurant is amazing.
    You have to go there.
  • My Realtor is the best. Give them a call.
  • I will send you my referral link.
  • Try my dentist, you will love them.
Concentric Circles

YOU RECEIVE VALUE

  • If your friend becomes a realtor, you hire them.
  • If they open a restaurant, you eat there.
  • If they write a book, you buy it.
  • If they start a business, you check it out.

WE HAPPILY CREATE VALUE FOR FREE EVERY DAY.

We market to our network for free every day.Yet somehow, earning an income for doing so feels different.

Perhaps that is another belief worth examining.

Let Us Be Honest

If you are truthful with yourself, your hesitation likely has very little to do with direct selling itself. More often, it comes from experiences that have shaped your perception of it.

PERHAPS YOU HAVE ENCOUNTERED:

  • Pressure.
  • Hype.
  • Exaggerated claims.
  • Being recruited to sell.
  • Mediocre me-too products.
  • Poor leadership.
  • Being treated like a transaction.
  • Feeling that the opportunity is more important than the person.
  • Feeling that the recommendation is motivated by compensation rather than conviction.
Magnifying glass on iceberg



These experiences are real. But they were never requirements of the model.

Because the model is simply the framework.People determine how it is experienced.

You simply need to see it done well.
