There are a ton of reasons why stay at home moms love working for direct sales companies. You can pick and choose how much you are going to work, which is great for moms with busy schedules or partners that work out of the home full-time.




DIRECT SALES WOMEN



In order to be a successful direct sales consultant you need to have a great personality that people can relate to, be outgoing, confident, and genuine. People will be more likely to purchase products from you if you are genuinely passionate and excited about what you are selling.


There are literally hundreds of direct sales companies to choose from. The main component of choosing a direct sales company to join is to find one that you are passionate about the products they offer. You need to have in interest and excitement about the business and be able to acquire the knowledge needed to share with others.


Everyone loves a home that smells good, why not help your friends and family achieve that with Scentsy products? This is another direct sales company where many women join just because they love the products so much and want to share them with everyone they know. Consultants can get started for about $99 and can earn commissions of 20% or more.


Moms love comfy and stylish clothing. Silver Icing offers modern fashion apparel for women of all shapes and sizes, from XXS to 4XL (and for the little ones too!). You can sign up to become a stylist for $75 and earn 20% commissions and a 50% discount!


Mannatech is all about healthy living. They offer products for weight loss, skincare, targeted health concerns, and integrative health options. You can start your Mannatech business for just $49 and 20% commission on sales.


Thirty-One is another well known direct sales company that offers home organization essentials like tote bags and organization caddies. Start earning commissions of 25% with starter kits ranging from $59-179.


This is certainly a unique and one of a kind direct sales company. Host in person or virtual parties where you open oysters and then choose beautiful jewelry for them to be placed in. Choose from a $99 or $149 starter kit and earn 25-33% in commissions.


Avon is definitely the oldest direct sales company on this list. They offer a wide range of makeup, skincare, and jewelry products and have a very affordable starting package of only $10! You get 25% off anything you order for yourself and earn a 25% commission.


Mary Kay is another iconic direct sales company that just about everyone has heard of. From stellar makeup to timeless skincare; you can get started with a kit for about $30 and earn a whopping 50% commission on your sales!


Direct sales is the process of selling products face-to-face away from a retail store location. Many times this is done through in-home shopping parties, presentations, and catalog sales. For a minimal fee, companies give you a starter kit that includes everything that you need to start your own business.


Often your first prospects and buyers will be friends, family, and co-workers, you will then build your customer base by getting referrals and marketing your business. Some direct sales companies will even give you a few leads to get started.


As a sales consultant, you will be paid a commission for each product that you sell. Some direct sales companies will also pay you a commission on product sales from consultants who you referred to the program. Besides being able to work from home, you will also be able to choose your working hours and the type of products that you sell. Many moms opt to do their home shopping parties at night or on the weekends when dad can watch the kiddos.


How it works. Direct selling is person-to-person sales of consumer products or services taking place outside of a traditional retail location. Direct sellers are independent consultants, not employees. Products are sold primarily through parties, hosted in private homes where you gather a bunch of your friends or you get people you know to invite their friends. One-on-one selling is also an option.


A direct sales company is simply a company that lets you work from home or some other non-retail location and sell items directly to customers. The term MLM (or multi-level marketing) also refers to direct sales companies. While it might sound strange, if you have a relative that sells Avon, essential oils, skincare products, or makeup from home, you are familiar with direct sales companies.


In a word, no. Direct sales companies are different than pyramid schemes. In a pyramid scheme, there is no product or service that is exchanged for money. (Pyramid schemes are also illegal in most places.)


Be sure to pay attention to what kind of support and training the company offers its consultants. Also, take into account monthly fees, sales quotas, and other guidelines. Balance it against the perks of joining with the company, such as your own website and discounts for personal purchases.


However, one of the best ways to be successful as a direct sales consultant is to start a blog. Blogging is a great way to grow your direct sales business quickly because you can start an email list and promote it on Pinterest. It also gives you access to everyone in the world that has internet.


Like Avon, Mary Kay is a household name when it comes to direct sales companies. They have quality make-up that has withstood the test of time. Of all the direct sales companies that I have researched, Mary Kay offers one of the best commission rates.


Tupperware products are incredibly durable and come in many shapes and sizes. Of all the direct sales companies I have researched, this one was the only one to offer a 2 payment plan for the initial investment.


Pampered Chef sells quality kitchen products aimed at making food preparation more convenient. They have also started a gardening line. Like many direct sales companies, parties with demonstrations are one of their recommended ways to sell products.


Have you seen pens with a business name on them? Maybe custom printed t-shirts, caps, coolers, or other products with a business name on them? Those items may have come from Kaeser & Blair. You sell the products and they manufacture and ship them directly to the customer.


This was such great and well presented information! ? It was refreshing to see such a positive representation of our industry. I was a distributor/consultant in a few companies for several years before my husband and I decided to open our OWN direct sales/MLM company in Dec of 2020!


Great post! I think direct sales companies are great for moms or anyone who wants to work from home. Thanks a lot for sharing 15 of such examples.

Nu Skin is an amazing direct sales company! It is absolutely FREE to start. No monthly requirements. No inventory. Great compensation & support! And the products, over 400 of them, are amazing! I highly recommend!


Good morning! Congratulations for your great article. Have you heard about Thermomix? International direct sales company, ranked # 5 in the world. Let me know if you need more information about it. Thermomix is the only 22 in 1 kitchen appliance with 60.000 recipes from around the world.


Great information on direct sales. I was introduced to Pure Haven through my sister and became a consultant. Not many people have heard of them but I was impressed with how well the products work with being natural. I also love the products because they are made here in the US with all natural ingredients. The initial investment is minimal (starting around $100) depending on the set you order. You do not have to keep inventory but it helps at gatherings and vendor events. Products include skincare, personal care (including kids and babies), pet care, and household.
