8 Important Things You Need To Know Before Joining A Direct Sales Company

When it comes to finding the perfect Direct Sales Company, you need to sit down and make a list of what is important to you.

Here are 8 important things you need to consider:

1. Are you willing to do home parties? The majority of Direct Sales Companies require their consultants to do home parties. If this is something you are not interested in, look for a company where there are no home party requirements.

2. Are there any monthly or quarterly quotas. A lot of companies have some sort of quota policy which means you will be required to sell a certain amount of products in a specific amount of time.

3. What are the ongoing costs for this business? With most businesses, you will find that you will be responsible for the cost of a consultant website, catalogs, business supplies and samples of the products. It is important to know what the ongoing costs will be.

4. Do you have to recruit others to join the company? If you are not comfortable with team building and just interested in the sales portion of the company, make sure there are no mandatory recruiting requirements.

5. How will your training be conducted? You will want to consider how the training will be provided to you. Will this training be in person or online? Will this training fit into your schedule?

6. What is the company's advertising policy? It is important to find out this information before you join a company. You will want to make sure that the policy will coincide with how you plan to advertise and market your business.

7. How are the payments for orders processed and who does the shipping of products to your customers? These days, most Direct Sales companies will ship direct to your customers so that you don't have to deliver products.

8. Do you feel passionate about the products you will be selling? Are the products high quality? What is the warranty and return policy of the company? Who pays for the returns?

In closing, you want to take your time when considering any company for your home business. Do your research and ask others who are in the industry for recommendations.
