TMEs do help the direct sales force, however through any of the following efforts: - Evangelizing the product or solution to customers, partners and the press - Creation and delivery of product demonstrations and presentations - Supporting the direct sales force through a combination of meetings, presentations, assistance with RFPs or solution architecture And the list goes on.

All will claim to be the best, yet the best one is the one that suits your interests. One may good for you and not good for another or vise versa. The key to success is enjoying what you do and building upon that. I am involved in the network marketing industry. I enjoy it. I enjoy being a solution to problems. That is where I choose to position myself. I also position my self in the health and wellness aspect. There are a lot of people who are looking for ways to improve their health. There are many who do not have good things to say about the network marketing industry. This is because of the statistics of failure and those who are out there hassling friends and family to join there bizz opp. If you don't find interest in what you do, how can you succeed? You also need to learn about your target market. I am not talking about warm market. Target marketing is positioning yourself in front of those looking for what you have to offer. I have been involved with programs that help you to know more about being a successful marketer. I suggest that you educate yourself as much as possible before going in blind. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. I hope that this helps. BEST WISHES! There are many good network marketing companies with great compensation plans.

Use direct mail. You have an advantage here in that people respond to "food offers" more than any other kind of direct mail. Most managers mistakingly believe that they lose money whenever they give discounts.....bzzzzt! wrong. By getting people to respond to your insane direct mail offer, you will increase your revenue by creating sales from those customers in a time frame that would not have happened naturally. In other words, you are getting that guy who, on his own accord comes in say, once a month, or you might see him every two months for like three days that week, to come through your doors twice a month. You are increasing the frequency of purchases. If you send out a worthwhile offer, they will respond....over and over...and over. If you have a lame offer....ya..they won't budge. ask your customers what it would take...get some feedback....then create a nice professional looking piece or two....send them out....get feedback....tweek the thing, till it produces results consistently. This is how smart companies use direct mail. ....you know...the ones who use it year after year....thwy do it because they've learned how to make it work for them.
