Direct selling is the sale of a consumer product or service, person-to-person, away from a fixed retail location, marketed through independent sales representatives who are sometimes also referred to as consultants, distributors or other titles. Direct sellers are not employees of the company. They are independent contractors who market and sell the products or services of a company in return for a commission on those sales.
Direct sellers often find a lasting value far beyond their original goal or motivation. Direct selling offers one of the finest entrepreneurial skill building opportunities in the world. Many people find that what they learn from creating a home-based business of their own serves them throughout their lives in ways they never would have dreamed.
Direct selling can be a great way to earn supplemental income, or even provide a full-time income if you choose to focus on direct selling as a full-time career. If you are considering direct selling as an income option, be sure to understand the following before taking any further steps: regardless of your goals, direct selling is not “easy income,” you will not “get rich quick” and there are no silver bullets to success. Anyone who promises you any of these things is misleading you.
That being said, for people who set realistic goals and enjoy working in a flexible, self-directed environment, direct selling provides limitless possibilities. For some, this means working a few hours a week and earning a modest income to help pay the bills. For others, it’s a commitment of 40 or more hours a week with the goal of developing a network of consultants below you whom you will train and mentor so they too can be successful. For still others it might merely be the desire to buy products and services one already uses, but at a discount.
Direct selling can be a very rewarding experience – both as a consumer and as a seller.
