There are some years, I never thought I'd be at home mom. The idea had crossed my mind; I just do not think it could be financially possible. There is one thing about my vocation I envisioned even less, that of contributing to the family income by being independent consultant Epicure Selections ... in short to have success in direct sales! The what? Direct sales or selling live, you know, being a small seller "insert name of cie here." Well, it's me, the little clerk and much more!
My main occupation is not changed, I am first and foremost at home mom and proud of it! However, I discovered, with direct sales a way to contribute to the family income by working at a frequency which I like. No inventory management which eats away the time, not really possible losses. For my situation, so this is the perfect opportunity for busniess!

However, I discovered, with direct sales a way to contribute to the family income by working at a frequency which I like. No inventory management which eats away the time, not really possible losses. For my situation, so this is the perfect opportunity for busniess!
Since I had some bias there not so long ago, I decided to explain the operation of direct sales and give you some advantages I see for a mom at home! In addition, demonstrations, it's in, so I rely on that article of the blog Ton Petit Look!
Basically, how does it work?
There are several companies with which one can become independent consultant or vendor and work from home. The basic operation is rather similar: you buy a starter kit which includes products for demonstrations or samples and receives training (increasingly via a website, webinar, video). Then you have to find customers or hostesses demonstrations (a neighbor, a friend, our aunt!), And off you go!
A demonstration will often bring another because the hostess receives free products or benefits, and it usually pleases a guest there who loved the products, but can not afford to buy everything. So just to have one or two friends who agree to introduce us to their circles of friends for a good demonstration bearing settles. In the case of companies that operate primarily through catalogs campaigns (or there is no real proof to do), the importance of starting the contact network is essential, unless you like going door-to-door !
The basic investment varies from one company to another, but often the cost of the kit is quite similar to that a first demonstration campaign or an average relates. So just a beautiful first presentation to start making a profit!
Most companies offer benefits to representatives who recruit other representatives and there are some prejudices which start from there, as some see a pyramid scheme. If that were the case, it would not be legal, and many companies would have to change their system or close their doors! The advantage of direct sales representatives comes right from the sale of products, not recruiting! For some companies, recruiting will climb the ladder, for others, it will increase the percentage of profit of the selling on its own sales and enable it to build a team that it will also make a certain profit. Regardless of the advantage, a representative may also want to recruit that in order to have a team to motivate to develop leadership skills for the purpose of a possible return to work when the kids are older.
Can I become rich?
No ... and yes! There has great success stories in each direct selling company, but there is no magic in life. It is not enough to invest in a busniess start-up package for direct sale to become rich. It takes between two other key elements: having a social network that let us present our products and believe in what we stand wholeheartedly (being in love with the company and with the products!). Then it takes perseverance and organization to control followed, keep in touch with the hostesses and customers, keep a diary to remember everything, etc. Finally, income-dependent course of the time we are willing to give our company! The income of a counselor who made four demos per month will be different from that actually only one.
The greatest wealth brings direct sales, in my opinion, is the scheduling flexibility and total control of our agenda! We do not want to babysit? It starts only available when our spouse is at home, it's as simple as that!
