TIME CONTEXT * 2001
VIEW POINT
Since Natasha started in 1993, it has steadily grown to become one of the leading direct selling companies in the country. As a wholly Filipino-owned company, Natasha takes pride in the fact that it has become one of the leaders in an industry that has been traditionally dominated by multinational companies. Natasha Philippines is a direct selling company carrying shoes, apparel, accessories and personal care products. We work through a network of dealers who sell our products person to person using our catalogue. * Selling
The first earning opportunity is in the selling of Natasha products. You will get a 22% basic discount. When you received your orders, you will only pay the net price (gross price less 22% basic discount). The 22 % discount will be your profit.
Networking
Networking is the bigger earning opportunity. The more recruits you have, the bigger your network will become. Your earning will grow with your network.
