Every year thousands of people sign up with some form of direct selling company such as, Tupperware, Amway, or a beauty / cosmetic company in the hopes of making some easy money. They sell small amounts of products to some family and friends and then they are done. They quit before actually giving themselves a real chance to actually learn the basics of success in sales. “I’m just not a born salesperson,” they often say and there are just not enough clients to sell to. Without potential clients who can you sell to? You need a way to generate leads for your new business.
Not one person alive is born a salesperson, any more than someone being born a doctor or born a lawyer. Sales is a profession. To be successful in your chosen profession you need to learn not just the basics but also how to apply them. To be successful in sales you need to make use of all the talents and abilities you are born as well as all those you learn throughout life.
If you are looking for a way to earn extra money or possibly a change in career in order to help with the budget then normally direct selling offers you great possibilities. However, keep in mind that you have to give yourself time to learn the techniques of sales. It isn’t something you just wake up one morning with, think about it, “How long does a doctor to be study? A lawyer to be study?”
WHAT EXACTLY IS DIRECT SELLING?
Direct selling is where you are marketing a certain product directly to the customer, there is no middleman involved.
Many direct selling companies provide agents / dealers / representatives with some form of starter kit as well as various supplies which are offered to them below cost price.
Numerous people have been able to change their lives for the better by joining a direct sales company. They could go on lovely holidays, made large item purchases for their homes, put money away for their childrens education. One very successful salesperson even built themselves a new house.
There are so many rewards from direct selling, here are just a few:
1. You are the boss.
2. You set your working hours.
3. You get to own your own businesses with little or no investment.
4. You set your own income level, which is likely more than any boss would ever pay you.
5. You can give yourself a raise as you see fit as your business grows.
You must however know that there are many failures too. There are many people who are not able to work for themselves. When they work for a boss, there is no problem with getting up early, they are always well-groomed, and are not late getting to the office. However, many times when they are their own boss, they are still in their pjs, enjoying just one more cup of coffee at 11:30.
If you are one of those people who are able to be their own boss and disciplined enough to ensure you do what needs to be done when it needs to be done, then direct selling will offer you a most rewarding and unusual earning opportunity.
