How many of us have thought about being our own boss? Setting our own hours. Being there for our children when they get home from school. Can you make full time money in a direct sales/party planning business? Absolutely! But it doesn’t come without work! If anyone tells you any different, they are not telling you the truth.
Working in a direct sales position allows you to be your own boss but you will have to put time into it to see the fruits of your labor. Customers don’t typically come knocking on your door. You have to search them out. You have to spend consistent time every week marketing and promoting your business. You will have expenses like business cards, brochures, samples, online marketing. You will be responsible for setting up and conducting parties, recruiting people to become part of your team, training your team members. It will take at least 15 to 20 hours a week. If you have that time and you are willing to spend some money to make sure your business starts out on the right foot then you are probably going to do great!
In this type of business you are going to make your money by building a great team. You want your team or your “downline” to build a team. You want that team to build a team and so on. You can plan on a good year of being committed to growing your business before you will see a strong financial return. But it you can stick it out, and statistically most people cannot, then it will pay off in the end. It’s the ones that hang in there that have the success stories!
You also really want to make sure that you are selling a product that you believe in. Damsel In Defense is a new company, launched in November 2011. Their mission is to empower and protect women across the nation with their affordable and adorable line of stun guns, pepper sprays, personal alarms and more. It is a perfect opportunity to get in on the ground floor of something big! If this sounds like something you can stand behind, believe in and endorse, then you may have found the right company! If this doesn’t quite work for you, then keep looking. The right company is out there.
