Top Tier Direct Sales Vs Typical MLM
What are Top Tier Sales?
What separates top tier direct selling from a typical MLM product is price point. Top tier sales are simply put products that cost more than a typical multi-level marketing product. Generally speaking top tier products are in the thousand to ten thousand dollar range. What does this mean from a sales and commission perspective? Just as you might expect that commission on a top tier sale is much higher than that of a typical MLM product- again it is more likely in the thousands of dollars.
Dead downline
The beauty of top tier sales is that there is little emphasis placed on building a downline. In MLM most of your energy is focused on your downline and rightly so if you’re interested in building a residual income. The problem with this model is that in this day and age the internet has made this very problematic. The internet has made MLM unsustainable. The reason this is is because there is so much access to information that people can see where the next big OPPORTUNITY is. If you blink, you just may open your eyes to an empty downline and then you start back at zero.
In top tier direct sales you don’t have to rely on a downline for your income. You get paid commissions on your sales which amount to a higher income up front due to the higher price point. You have the same potential for residual income you just don’t rely heavily on your downline to produce your income.
Get Paid Today
Get Paid Today is a concept of top tier sales that grew out of the new era of MLM. When the internet killed MLM as we know it GPT was born. The GPT concept illustrates how important it is to have your money in hand today vs. a promise of your money in the future at an undetermined time. The promise of MLM is that If you build a downline you will be paid off of other people’s sales tomorrow. GPT allows you to have your money today to invest and do with as you wish.
Parting advice
Here is some parting advice to ponder. What it comes down to is making an informed decision on what will work best for you. There are still plenty of people earning a living from their MLM business and plenty of people failing at top tier sales. It is important that you do your due diligence when making a decision such as this. Make sure that you follow your heart AND your head. Understand that it is a true, bonified business with all the work and effort that a business requires. The tough part can be separating the facts from the hype. If it sounds too good to be true IT IS; this cannot be stressed enough. Finally, never forget people are trying to SELL you something.
