Mission
Jenkon will help its direct selling clients grow their businesses by providing software and related services that improve communication with their representatives, increase their control over key business drivers and facilitate international growth.

Industry
The Direct Selling industry consists of companies who manufacture and distribute goods and services sold directly to consumers. Network Marketing companies create a network of independent sales representatives through which their products or service makes its way to the final consumer. Well-known examples are Amway, Avon, Tupperware, and Mary Kay cosmetics. Companies in these industries have combined worldwide revenues of over $80B a year. Of this, 75% is outside of the United States.

Networks of representatives can include more than a million people and can have a complex structure to reflect hierarchical relationships. Direct selling companies create compensation plans to reward their independent representatives for the sales of products and the recruitment of additional representatives. Compensation plans can be highly complex and unique to each company as they develop a formula to motivate the mix of sales and enrollment best suited to their business model. Compensation plans can consist of many criteria including level in the sales organization, meeting qualifying criteria, bonuses, contests and special incentives. Creating lineage and compensation management software is a challenge that requires in-depth industry experience and knowledge.
