Teenagers today are desperate. Believe it or not, we are
desperate to be financial stable despite we are still studying; we are
desperate to have our own career at this young age.
Would you mind sharing with me? Have you received any pamphlet
or brochure, telling you how you could earn extra money with flexible working
time and total freedom? Only after you’ve contacted them, realizing they are
either direct sales agent or insurance agent.
You can tell me you’ve never encounter any of them. But I had.
I couldn’t comment on how right or how wrong direct sales and insurance agent
are, there must be reasons why they exist and they are developing fast. But there
are also reasons of their high turnover rate. The person you saw last year in
the organisation might not be a member anymore a year after.
If you were being exposed to this platform, been given an ‘opportunity’
to join this stream, as one of them who could earn extra money when you are
studying, with time flexibility and retired at the age of 50 and still
getting 5 digits income every month.
Well before you really get started, it’s advisable to
consider the following:
1. Understand what you are going to do.
Direct selling is a method of marketing and retailing goods
and services directly to the consumers, in their homes or in any other location
away from permanent retail premises. But direct selling is one thing, involving
in Multi Level Marketing is another. In MLM, you are not only getting profit
from your own product selling but including your recruit and recruit’s recruit.
You are still selling products direct to customer, but thinking about the commission
taken from each sale, I wondered how much the cost for each product is.
2. Are you ready, from all sense.
It’s never easy to be a good direct sales. If you did not aim
to be one of the best out of them, you couldn’t earn much. Definitely less than
the basic salary you would get from a proper job and not hitting quota will be
expel from the team. Not forgetting your team leader will motivate
(brainwashed) you to be more proactive and generate sales.
Meanwhile, are you ready to contribute your time and effort
into it? In direct selling, it’s never enough wanting something, are you
prepared to work for what you want? How much effort and time you put in
reflect how much you could earn. Direct selling do now just involve product
selling, but also attending training, members recruiting, product ordering and
handling paperwork. There is more work that you could have imagined. However,
there are no clear demarcations showing how much effort equivalent to the
amount you should earn.
Simultaneously, you have to come out with a prospect list. Before
you could kick start you direct selling career, you have to come out with a
list of name that you think they would purchase from you. Most of the time the
list started off from your family members and friends. After you have exploited them, you will slowly direct your potential prospect to new friends or even
stranger. This would be great for people who like knowing new friends, but definitely
not so good for them who couldn’t make friends fast.
3. Ask, and search.
There are too many direct sale companies out there. Make sure
you understand what the company is doing. What type of products they are selling?
What about the reviews? Are they reliable? If you are concern that your
friend might be hiding something from you, you can always Google. Of course you can also go to Direct Sales Association to check the
reliability of the direct sales company.
All in all, you have to make up your own decision. Try asking
yourself:
1. How much money you wanted to earn in the coming 5 years?
2. How are you going to earn that amount of money you want?
3. What do you want the money for?
4. What type of life you were picturing in the next 5 years?
5. What type of person you wanted to be?
