Welcome...
If you’re looking for a low cost, flexible way to start your
own business, we hope you can take inspiration from
some of the people in this month’s Faces of Direct Sales
feature.
Utilised by brands such as Avon, the RAC and
Kleeneze, direct sales is a way of selling goods via parties,
catalogues, events and, increasingly, social media.
Distributors, who usually run their businesses from
home, are self-employed, but benefit from the back-up
and support of the company they represent.
The article highlights the growing diversity of the
industry. It features a full-time student who’s making a
success of his cosmetics business, a former sheep farmer
who has a network that stretches across 50 countries and
an experienced coach and mentor who earns an annual
seven-figure income.
There are over 400,000 direct sellers in the UK. You
could join their ranks for an average investment of less
than £100.
