...Network Marketing Without the Pyramid?

I have many years experience with network marketing companies, and in my opinion, this is network marketing at its finest. We are marketing (sharing) our knowledge, skills and abilities with each other, and the consumer. The relationships we build in the AR Community allow us to leverage our ability to earn referrals from our colleagues around the country. The single level residual offered by my company being the exception, there is no better way for an agent to network, than in "The Rain".

We sell the largest single purchase item the average consumer will make in their lifetime. And we EARN a percentage of the sales price, nice huh? And, we get to do it more than on some occasions.  For example, how many times have you sold a client a home, and a few years later have them call you, because they want to sell and buy a larger home? If you have had that happen more than once, no doubt you have established yourself in the business, and are benefiting from your NETWORK of satisfied customers, because of the fine job of MARKETING you've done!

So again I ask, is this network marketing without the pyramid? You tell me.

I've always thought it was odd that a 1,500-SF house in downtown El Cajon goes for $250,000, and the 1,500-SF house in La Jolla with the ocean view goes for $2,500,000. My work in selling the house is 99% the same, yet I make a lot more in La Jolla. That disparity causes me to wonder why the discount and flat fee brokerages seem to be falling by the wayside. Maybe those of us with full-service brokerages offer so much more than just pushing paperwork. I don't know. Maybe I'm like Rachel Maddow and need either some talking up or some talking down.
