Bus/Financial - Retail / Multilevel-Marketing

English term or phrase: leg

Ein Unternehmen beschreibt seine Multilevel-Marketing-Struktur. In den Definitionen findet sich folgender Satz:

"Leg: A Leg is a portion of a Distributor’s organization starting at one of his or her first-level Distributors and encompassing his or her entire organization. If a Distributor has 10 first-level distributors, he or she has 10 legs..."

Die Vorstellung eines zehnfüßigen Vertriebs ist zwar amüsant, hilft mir aber nicht auf die Sprünge (trotz der 10 Beine).

I've clicked on this link twice and each time it came up in a different language, so i can confirm that "Leg" is "Linie"
