Joining Direct Sales for The Discount

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your best friend just joined a direct sales company, and you just hosted a show for her. Although you adore the product, you are just too busy to jump in to making a career in direct sales. You are aware of the fantastic discount your friend receives, but you wouldn't dream of asking her to sell her product to you at cost, now would you? You want to see her succeed at this business. You really do want to load up on tons of product because you love it as much as is possible. Is there some way to benefit from both sides of the coin? Can you simply join the company for your own benefit of a discount? Yes in fact you can.

Some direct sales companies offer what they call a "personal use" program in order to gain new recruits. I believe they hope you will someday sign up as an actual sales consultant, and start selling the products and recruiting new people. Many companies provide some sort of program for their frequent customers buying on a regular basis, giving them a discount on products.

Although the discount might be different from the one you would receive if you joined the business with the goal of selling products and recruiting others to do the same, but none the less any discount is better than none at all, right? Here are some of the benefits that could be yours if you sign up as a "personal use" consultant.

* Discounts on the product(s) you purchase most. I think most of us know this one.

* Playing part in others' success. The person who recruits you will likely receive some credit for having you as a recruit; therefore you are helping her to grow her business.

* Ordering products when you need them. You no longer have to host a show or wait until your consultant places her next order.

* Trying something new. Direct sales companies often allow you to purchase a product and try it first. Normally if you don't like it they offer no-hassle returns. Maybe they offer sample sizes to test before committing to the purchase.

* Experience gathered. Let's say you decide to become a personal use consultant first. You use the product, and then brag about it to everyone you know. You decide to become a regular consultant. Many companies will add the time you have spent being a personal use consultant toward your total time in the company. This can result in possible rewards for years of service.

* Knowledge of the product. Since you've been using the product for such a long time, having tried almost everything available it's quite possible you know more about what's available than someone new to the business. Use that knowledge to guide someone who may be struggling, or start building up your own business by becoming a regular sales associate.

* Gaining firsthand knowledge of new products. As a consultant you get the bonus of being notifies when new products hit the market, or possibly even beforehand. This will allow you to plan for a purchase in your budget.

It's easy to see the perks that come with being a personal use consultant. Just make sure you read the fine print before signing on the dotted line. There may be prerequisites expected of you such as purchases of a certain dollar amount each month to remain qualified for discounts and benefits. Others require you pay a slightly higher fee for signing up as a personal use consultant.

The option of being a personal consultant may save you money on your favorite products and help a friend. Read the fine print and give it some thought before making the decision. This might be exactly what you were looking for.
