Business For Home defines a leader and a professional networker in Direct Sales as follows:

"A leader and professional networker is the one who has the ability to guide and at the same time is able to motivate team members, inspire respect and confidence and explain the power of the compensation plan".

But they should also have:

• Effective communication: They must transmit the needed information suitably. It’s fundamental for leading.
• Vision: A leader needs to have a vision, which means not only thinking in a short term, but trying to see a bigger picture.
• Balance: Give importance to team members’ opinions.
• Art of Feedback: In order to produce good feedback it’s important to keep it impartial and objective. Criticism must bring solutions and improvement.
