Direct selling is a network of independent distributor selling products and services where they can earn a handsome income. The secret to a successful direct sales business is having an effective distributor system. So, distributors are the lifeline of your business. Direct selling distributors are placed in the company as uplines and downlines in the MLM genealogy tree.
With an MLM genealogy tree, the direct sales entrepreneurs can have an overview of the distributor network along with details such as rank achievements, sponsor details, quick access to distributor details etc.
If a distributor is newly brought to a direct sales organization by another top distributor, then they are called upline. They are also called as sponsors and they can receive a commission for the sales they will make. The distributors who are brought by this existing distributor are called as the downline distributors. Depending on the type of compensation plan the company chooses, there are different type of the genealogy trees such as binary genealogy tree, unilevel genealogy tree etc.
