Free resources
Resources for direct sales team leaders
Everything on this site that is free to use: tool comparisons, two calculators, a launch checklist and the magazine.
This library exists for one reader: the woman running a downline in a US direct sales or social selling company, usually alongside a job, who has to decide every week where four coaching hours should go. Nothing here assumes a corporate budget, an assistant, or that your company gives you anything beyond a back office and a compensation plan document.
Start where your current problem is. If you are choosing where the roster should live, read the comparisons. If you are deciding whether a rank push is worth the month, run the payoff calculator. If your next consultant enrolls on Friday, take the launch checklist. Downline Quarterly covers the wider ground: compensation plans, party economics, FTC rules on income claims and what is genuinely moving in this market.
Free tools
Calculators for direct sales team leaders
Two free tools that answer the arithmetic questions a downline leader keeps doing on the back of an envelope.
Comparisons
PartyPlanRank compared with the tools team leaders already use
Three honest comparisons for a leader deciding where her downline roster should live.
Main guide
How does a team leader move from three active sellers to a stable twelve?
It settles what actually has to change in booking, onboarding and weekly contact as a downline grows from a handful of sellers to a team you can no longer coach one by one.
Magazine
Downline Quarterly
Reporting on the working reality of US direct sales leadership: compensation plans, team coaching, party economics, and the rules that govern it all.
About
Who writes all of this
A short page on who writes here, the downline experience behind the rank math and the quiet member alerts, and how to reach us with a question about your own compensation plan.
When the free material stops being enough
The comparisons, the calculators and the launch checklist are yours without an account, and for a downline of six they may be the whole system. What none of them can do is notice on a Thursday that a steady consultant has not ordered in nineteen days. If that is the part costing you people, book a demo and look at the roster that does.
