Can You Really Build a Profitable Business in Direct Sales

Image
Can You Really Build a Profitable Business in Direct Sales There are many different ways to make money from home. When I first decided to walk away from my corporate career, I knew I wanted (and needed) some part-time work to help in paying the bills. Though I knew what  type of work I didn’t want to do (a part-time job outside the home), I didn’t know exactly what I  did  want to do. I immediately started browsing the work at home forums on mommy sites and found quite a few discussions on direct sales positions. I read all the information I could, especially the responses to questions like, “Can you really make money in direct sales?” I started researching thoroughly, and ended up joining three different direct sales companies over a two-year period. Though I’m not currently working in direct sales (I opted to start my own social media marketing busines s), I loved every minute of it. In case you may love it too, I’m sharing the results of my resea...

4 SUCCESS SECRETS TO IMPROVE YOUR DIRECT SALES BOOKINGS

4 SUCCESS SECRETS TO IMPROVE YOUR DIRECT SALES BOOKINGS One of the most important aspects of running your own direct sales or home-based business is keeping your direct sales bookings up. With consistent sales appointments and successful home parties booked, your business will grow. To tackle how to keep your sales up and your calendar full of direct sales bookings, use this helpful list: 1. Be consistent.  While this statement may seem trite, the truth is that many direct sales women and entrepreneurs need to keep this tenet of sales in the front of both head and heart. With the multitude of obligations that women deal with on a regular basis—full time job, second job, family chauffeur, child care, parent care, house cleaner, home chef, physical fitness, and maintaining our sanity with our own interests and hobbies—a system for juggling competing duties is necessary. As a professional sales woman and entrepreneur, the importance of keeping the calendar full is key. T...

Here's How America Is Spending $20 Billion This Valentine's Day

Image
Valentine's Day is a time to spoil our beloveds, woo our secret lovers, and remember to call our mothers. It is also, to put things slightly less tenderly, a $20 billion macroeconomic stimulus aimed straight at the heart of the American chocolate-floral-lingerie industrial hydra. Here's how America's receipt for Valentine's Day might look, if receipts looked like pie charts. (Data from IBISWorld; numbers in billions of dollars). If Hallmark "invented" Valentine's Day, Hershey's won it. About two-thirds of the money spent for today is on food, and an astonishing amount of that food is straight up candy. In fact, we spend more on candy than flowers and cards combined. Generally speaking, it's the lager categories that have grown the fastest in the last five years, since the economy was deep in recession. The slow growth in greeting card spending reflects competition from digital cards. Exactly  who  is on the receiving end of that $2...
