When Heather ran across the article “The Categories of Companies in Network Marketing” by Andy Geldhart, it resonated with her for several reasons. It summed up all the reasons she walked away from a established successful direct sales business that involved a hard-good product, a party plan business model and breakaway compensation plan…all things that should send up a redflag according to Mr. Geldhart in his article.

After working with such a company for almost 8 years, Heather saw the limitations that Mr. Geldhart refers to in his article. Not having heard of the term “Holy Grail”, Heather has always described Votre Vu as the total package and later when she ran across the article, she knew that the “total package” and “Holy Grail” were one and the same.

Bonnie and Heather discuss the 5 categories of companies in network marketing and the 5 things that need to be in place for a company to be the next Holy Grail.

You can find Andy Geldhart’s entire article here.

The Vu Girls, Bonnie and Heather, ran across an article on www.directselling411.com that talks about the 7 different categories of people who get involved in direct sales. They share those categories with you and expand on the different reasons that motivate people to get involved in direct sales (network marketing).

Most people will find that they fit into more then one category at a given time. And throughout their direct sales career they may move in between different categories as their needs and desires change.

Direct Sales? What is that? How does that work? Can you really make any money at that? Is that the pyramid thing?

For those involved in direct sales (be it party plan, network marketing, MLM), these are common questions. And even though direct sales is an industry with a proven track record of success, it still is not understood by a large segment of the population.

Simply put, it’s a business model of distributing goods to the end consumer through independent consultants (reps, Brand Ambassadors:) instead of a traditional fixed store front. Instead of investing dollars in advertising, consultants are paid to find and support new customers. Most direct sales companies even provide additional bonuses to those consultants who further grow the brand by enrolling/sponsoring new consultants who in turn will do the same.

More and more businesses are turning to direct sales because it works. The Direct Sales industry has grown on average 4%+ more each year even during the past recessionary times. AND more and more consumers are turning to direct sales to purchase products/services because of the convenience, high quality product and personal service they get.

So our question is…if you are looking for a way to add additional income to your monthly budget, why wouldn’t you get involved in direct sales? It’s easy to get started. It’s a no-risk way of starting your business (low start up with no penalties if you change your mind). It’s a flexible way to own your own business and be your own boss. It can create residual income over time and even create legacy incomes.

We would love to help you get started with Votre Vu and show you how to build a successful direct sales business.
