DIRECT SALES
Do you want to start your own home business, but don't know where to start? Would you prefer to work with an established company that has a proven track record, sales team, marketing program, and leadership? Would you prefer set guidelines in place that tell you what you can and cannot do? Would you prefer to attend meetings geared towards your targeted business, rallies to help you stay on task, and conferences to introduce you to those who've succeeded past your wildest dreams? Then direct sales is the perfect business opportunity for you!

DIRECT SALES INDIVIDUAL INCOME
You'll not only be able to glean from the experience of your upline (the one who recruits you), but you'll earn a set commission (usually 5-50% of the product or service you sale). Therefore, if the company you sign on with gives you 25% in commissions and you sell $350 in product, you'll earn $87.50.

RESIDUAL INCOME
While you can make a good living simply selling the products and/or services offered in network marketing programs, you'll reap an added monetary reward by recruiting others (known as downline) into the business. With each new recruit you will earn a percentage of that recruit's sales (usually .5-10%). The more downline you have, the more income you will earn. In other words, the more sales your downline makes and the more they recruit others into the business, the larger your commission check will be.

SAMPLE DIRECT SALES RESIDUAL COMMISSION
Because I don't believe in hyping information, I am going to be very modest with my figures:

  • If you have 100 downline and each one earns an average of $300 per month, that's $30,000. If you receive only 1% of that income, you will walk away with $300 per month for doing nothing more than helping someone else become his/her own boss.
  • If those same 100 downline earned an average of $1,000 per month, that's $100,000. Your 1% commission would then become $1,000.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT DIRECT SALES MARKETING PROGRAM
When choosing a direct sales or home party plan business make sure you:
  • have the time to work a business;
  • have the money to advertise your business
  • have the money to purchase both product and supplies;
  • are comfortable with the commissions structure;
  • can stand behind the company's policies, procedures, regulations, and philosophy;
  • understand what is expected of you;
  • like and use the products and/or services;
  • don't mind striking up conversations with strangers, in passing, with the intent of handing out your business card;
  • enjoy demonstrating your products to a group of people (if required);
  • click with your upline; and
  • that your upline will be readily available to answer any of your questions and guide you to success.
