In direct selling, a distributor earns a commission by referring a company’s products to customers. They also earn commission when other distributors in his or her network successfully refer products to other people. Products are sold to retail customers, who purchase products without opting to explore the business-side of direct selling, as well as to potential distributors, who purchase products as well as avail themselves of the business opportunity.
What really sets direct sales companies apart from more traditional retail businesses is the ability for a person to start their own business, without major investment in inventory, expensive office space or shop fronts, challenging start-up costs, or prior education in developing business plans. Further, the marketing, packaging and advertising of the products, as well as the business training to the distributor, are all provided for by the company. A distributor of a direct sales company is able to focus solely on promoting the company’s products.
Further, there are no specific qualifications needed to become a salesperson for a direct selling business, since the company provides training to develop the necessary business skills, as well as marketing education. This training aspect is an integral part of the offered business opportunity.
Distributors have the very obtainable potential of the business becoming their sole work commitment, allowing distributors to be their own boss, resign from a job they do not enjoy, and reach financial freedom on their own terms.Hashem Ezzwai
