Getting Started in the Direct Sales Industry
Introduction
I vividly recall attending my first home party years ago. Watching the representative expertly demonstrate her products left me in awe, thinking, "I could never do that." Yet, years later, I took the plunge and joined a company whose products I loved and believed in. Now, I'm excited to share some tips on getting started in this industry. While this isn't about booking parties or recruiting?"those skills develop naturally through training and networking?"I hope to guide you in choosing the right company and overcoming initial doubts about starting your own business.
Finding Your Passion
Firstly, consider if there's a company you're already eyeing. It's crucial to join a company offering decent commissions, but it's equally important to feel passionate about the products. Reflect on your interests. For instance, I chose a company specializing in home decor because it's something I've always enjoyed, and I loved the decor tips and presentations at various parties I attended. Direct sales companies offer an array of products from gourmet foods to jewelry. Explore work-at-home websites focusing on women by searching "wahm" on Google for a plethora of options.
Selecting the Right Company
Once you've identified your niche, it's time to choose a company. If you lean towards home decor, you'll find several companies in that space. Deciding between a new and an established company can be tricky. Being among the first representatives in a new company has its perks, but joining an established one may offer more stability. To verify credibility, visit [DSA](http://www.dsa.org) to see if the company is listed with the Direct Selling Association.
Gathering Information
After pinpointing a potential company, gather information. Inform the sponsor that you're evaluating various companies. Inquire about any joining fees. While upfront money requests can indicate scams, remember that direct sales require investing in your business. This includes the initial kit, product catalogs, and sales supplies. Different companies may offer varying commissions and supply costs, so choose wisely.
Choosing the Right Sponsor
Even if you've found a company, ensure you can work well with your potential sponsor. It's perfectly acceptable to talk to different representatives within the same company until you find the right fit. Experience isn't everything; what's crucial is finding someone knowledgeable about company policies and eager to help you. Ask about the training they provide and any online support groups you can join.
Deciding on a Connection
Decide whom you'd prefer to work with. Some companies allow joining under anyone, while others prefer local connections. Working locally means in-person training and local events, but sometimes you'll click better with someone from afar. Regardless, check for local training options. If unavailable, use your kit's materials and your sponsor's guidance effectively.
Taking the Leap
You've chosen your company, completed training, and booked parties?"often starting with friends and family. As you prepare, remember: the more you know and believe in your product, the easier it is to discuss and sell. Practice at home, use notes if necessary, and don't stress about mistakes?"everyone makes them, even the pros. Just keep smiling and have fun!
Starting in direct sales can be exciting and rewarding. Embrace your journey with confidence and enthusiasm. Good luck!
