Each day, thousands of people make the decision to leave the
rat race, hang the “CEO” sign on their own doors and embark on the journey of
business ownership. And for many
entrepreneurial spirits, the direct selling (or multi-level marketing) business
model is one they can embrace.
Direct selling offers the flexibility to own your own
business, create your own schedule, work with enthusiastic like-minded people
and more. Direct sales representatives (also called consultants or
distributors) sell services and products, often through home parties or by
word-of-mouth. And the industry is rife with opportunity. According to the Direct Selling Association, 15.9 million
people worked in the direct sales industry in 2012, generating more than 31.63
billion in sales!
You’re not alone if you desire more from life. And whatever
your “more” is, (time with loved ones, discretionary income or flexibility in
your daily schedule), embarking on a career in direct sales can lead to belief
in yourself and truly change your life. But, choosing the right opportunity is just
as important as choosing to work in the industry, so think about the following
as you decide the best direct selling opportunity for you:
Choosing the Right
Direct Selling Company for You
Identify Your Passion
Are you a budding foodie or chef? Do your friends always
have a health or weight loss question for you, the “healthy one”? Or maybe you
love adding new stamps to your passport as you travel the world? Whatever
you’re passionate about, there’s probably a direct sales company with a product
that truly excites you and that you’d be proud to represent. If you don’t
believe in something, you can’t show others how to be excited about it.
For WorldVentures Reps (all 110,000 of them) travel is what
ignites their passion! Whether enjoying VIP-style treatment on a DreamTrip or
introducing the WorldVentures business concept, they serve as ambassadors for a
brand that has literally changed thousands of lives the world over.
Know Your Goal
If you’re looking to earn enough extra income to pay off a
few bills each month, the time you dedicate to your new business may be
different than if you want to turn your 30-year mortgage in a 10-year one.
Going into the industry with identified goals will help you make a more
informed decision about the company you want to invest both your time and money
in.
If you’re fired up about the business and know what you
ultimately want to gain from it, your commitment will also increase. This can
lead to getting more than you bargained for, but in a good way! Many of our
Reps have met the original goals they had when joining the company and have
continuously challenged themselves to achieve higher ones, like earning our BMW
car bonus, buying their dream home or earning enough extra income to retire
their parents.
Ask Questions
What they say is true―there really is no such thing as a
dumb question! Any questions about the new venture you’re considering should be
answered easily by anyone you know in that business.
Ask questions about the company, the income potential, how
training is conducted, etc. You should know what you’re getting into before you
get into it!
You should also expect truth and transparency from the
direct sales company you choose to work with. For our goal of becoming the most
trusted name in the direct selling industry, WorldVentures has established the WorldVentures Trust Council. Formed as
part of our global commitment to corporate social responsibility, the
WorldVentures Trust Council includes members of our corporate staff as well as
Representative leaders worldwide. This is the step that WorldVentures has taken
to answer many questions people have about us.
Going into business for yourself is one of the biggest
decisions you can make, but it can also be one of the most rewarding. Call us
biased, but we feel the direct sales industry is an ideal platform to take that
leap of faith and declare yourself the boss of your life.
