At Home News Profiles Direct Sales Representative

Posted on 05:58 by Unknown
Traci Kuhn has been with Votre Vu as a star director and brand ambassador for three years. She shares the ins and outs of direct sales in the February issue of At Home News. Sign up for the free monthly e-newsletter by clicking on the Newsletter tab.
Traci gave some wonderful advice on how to figure out of direct sales is for you. Here are some additional thoughts she had:

Do your research on the company. Find a good sponsor for the business because they will be your mentor. “Do not test market the idea of starting a business on your friends and family who have never done anything like this or someone who's done it and it hasn't worked,” she says. “It's better to get advice (for anything really) from those who have achieved the success you are looking for.”

Run from anyone who pressures you to make a decision. “Approach this business just like any other business, with a curious mind and get all your questions answered,” says Traci.

You are the CEO of you. “You determine your outcome,” she says. “Your sponsor can lay out everything you need to do to achieve success but they can't do your pushup for you. Like the saying goes ‘If it's meant to be, it's up to me.’”

Until next time,

Sarah

Work-From-Home Job Spotlight: Direct Seller

Posted on 05:05 by Unknown
Each Thursday, I’m highlighting a work-from-home job or business.


Position: Direct Seller

Education: None necessary.

Skills: The ability to sell products to a variety of people, in-person and online. Organizational skills a plus.

Job outlook: More than 14 million people do direct sales as independent contractors. With the economy still recovering, this could be a viable at-home job for many more.

Possible employers: As a direct-sales independent contractor, you can sell anything including kitchenwares (Pampered Chef), toys (Discovery Toys), healthy products (TiensNA), wine (The Traveling Vineyard) and jewelry (Silpada Designs). Check out this extensive list for more options.

Preparation: Carefully look over the product line and company information for whichever products interest you. Make sure you have a passion for that product—it helps if you already use some of the products. Ask for references to talk with other contractors to see what are the pros and cons of working with the company.

Get your foot in the door: If you know someone who does direct sales, ask if you can help with a party or see what’s involved with putting on a show. The more information you can gather before signing up with a company, the better your chances of success.

Until next time,

Sarah
