Direct Sales Consultant Tips: Ten Tips for Choosing the Right Direct Sales Company
Direct sales can be your ticket to a profitable home-based business.
There's low risk and low overhead - and you'll find lots of
conversation, creativity, and cooperation among the company's
representatives.
But how do you know which company is right for you? Here are ten things
to look for as you research your direct sales consultant options.
1. Products. Successful direct sales consultants exude a genuine
enthusiasm for their products. Before joining a company, you'll need to
have the inner conviction that your company brings products and an
opportunity that no other company can. It's important for you to get
your hands on the products before you sign. Place an order or, at the
very least, request a catalog and product samples before joining.
2. Passion. Does this company involve a business you are truly
passionate about? One of the nice things about a direct sales business
is that you can often find one that suits your personal
passion...whether it's cooking, home décor, beauty, or scrapbooking &
cardmaking. And when you're genuinely enthusiastic about the industry
and the product, you'll feel as though you are sharing, teaching, and
helping - not selling.
3. Initial investment. What kind of cash outlay will your start-up
require? Look closely at the company's joining fee and/or the cost of
your business starter kit, but also think realistically about how much
inventory you'll need to have on hand and what kinds of business
supplies or products you'll need to get your business started.
4. Monthly minimums. What kind of personal sales volume is required? Are
you ready to invest the time and energy that this level of business
building requires?
5. Compensation Plan. Each direct sales plan is different, and it's
important to look over the fine print. What is the commission rate and
how is it paid? How are you awarded for recruiting others? How does the
company handle breakaways?
6. Control. How much control do you have over the way you build and
promote your business? Ask to see the company "rule book" before signing
on.
7. Support. What kind of support networks are in place? How involved in
the business is your upline? (Is your upline able to answer the
questions in this article, for example?) How quickly does he/she return
phone calls and emails?
8. Advertising. What kind of advertising and promotion does the company
deem acceptable? Most companies have rules for the way their logo and
trademarks are represented, both online and off.
9. Accessibility. Does the company offer exclusive products? Also, take
a look at the level of saturation in your particular market. A newer
company that offers quality products may hold a lot of promise in your
particular industry.
10. E-commerce. Does the company have an e-commerce option? Many direct
sales companies are now offering replicated websites so each
representative can promote an individual online presence. A few direct
sales companies even have shopping carts alongside these websites so you
can make sales online, too, with the product dropshipped from the home
office.
Take your time researching your direct sales consultant options. When
you have found the company that's right for you, you'll know it.
