I have never been involved in Direct Sales, until a year ago. I had in my head, they were all scams, until I came across my current business. I have been involed for a little more than a year and have a team over 150 people throughtout the country including Iraq. I few of my team members have been involved with Direct Sales before and said the companies plan didn’t allow for success, that’s why they are so relieved to have found our new company.

I love Direct Sales! been there, than a few:)

And I am with Kelly, I am not a great fan of anything that put a lot of emphasis on “recruiting” and forget the service and the product.

As for marketing it online; many of the companies are now changing their policies in order to allow reps to promote their business online, and order online. You don’t have to party, and you don’t have to do the shipping. People can order it through your site.

BUT, there are a few that are very restrictive. So carefully study their advertising policies and don’t accept verbal re-assurance from the person signing you up. Get it in writing from the head office.

I'm so happy to hear your support for DS women and the companies we work for. I've only been with one DS company and feel very fortunate to have found one that allows its consultants to market as we wish. Cherish Bound has been very liberal and embraced the internet marketing possibilities without the limitations so many other companies put on their distributors. I do in home parties, but I also have the freedom to take my business to the next level because I don't have internet/online restrictions.

Rebecca, sorry for the late approval of your comment – it was gobbled by my spam filter and I just found it.

I see from your website that you have a pretty firm opinion of Mary Kay and direct sales.

But seriously, I know a lot of moms who are making a great living from direct sales – some exclusively online.

Hi Kelly,
I have been involved with direct sales and network companies for years and would like to say that, one company I am with is a “party plan company” to be correct. I have never done a party and have a huge organization and great monthly sales. I have run my entire business online.

So, it is possible to do!

You’ve got to be kidding, right? Direct sales companies are one of the worst ways to try and make money. Not only that, but most of them have clauses in the contract you sign that prevent you from marketing them yourself on the web. Please visit http://www.pinktruth.com for more info.
