Why is direct sales so popular? Maybe it's the lure of working from home doing something you love, building a team that performs for you and making possibly large amounts of money. Many do achieve a good level and bring in a good income. It can be a career that really makes sense for you.
On the other hand, some sign up gung-ho and ready, yet just a few months later they find themselves back at a familiar "day job" thinking that maybe they'll try it again some day. The good old familiar "some day." It's where many's direct sales careers end up. Why?
Support is plentiful in this industry. Between your manager or recruiter, all the marketing materials and training the company likely offers and the terrific promise of building your own wealth, you have the launchpad for success. You can work your own schedule, build a team (or not) and basically do whatever you wish in your own little kingdom.
Building a team that works for you can be an immensely satisfying (not to mention profitable) endeavor. This is where the real money in direct sales lies and what many want to attain all while working a less than full-time schedule. Is it only a career for the most motivated or is there a special skill set required to really make it in direct sales?
Why such a tremulous path? Why do some make it big and others give up? It isn't because of some particular trait or special connection (generally). It's just because one seller does what the other isn't willing to do to succeed. It's really as simple as that. If you need to wade in uncomfortable waters for awhile to make it, that's not everyone's cup of tea. Comfort is the one thing people seek and it can be found in the tried and true, not in running a new business and doing unfamiliar things.
You've heard it before. It takes determination and motivation. It's the willingness to do what you have to do to make it work. There are those who insist you must pick up the phone and start dialing for dollars.
Well, of course in the numbers game of sales that will probably work, but will you actually do it? And if it isn't something that you will actually do, then how helpful is it? Picking up the phone and calling 100 people may be a ridiculously difficult task for some people while others have no problem with it whatsoever.
Is it the term salesperson that gets you? It's not always said with a loving tone. Instead you find that sharing is the way you'd like to be perceived. It's simple and straightforward, yet leaves the negativity of the term "sales" behind. No problem. If it works for you, by all mean adopt it. That's the trick: Make up your own system and then make it work!
