Promoting a Direct Selling Company through Sales Consultants

 

Yum Drops® Flavoring is a Direct Dales Company marketing through Independent Sales Consultants.  Our Sales Consultants start off as Sales Reps and as their income grows, they become Sales Directors and are able to sponsor two Sales Reps on their team.

As Sales Reps you can earn $1.00 a unit sold in commissions on each and every purchase from your customers.  As a Sales Director, you continue to earn commissions from your customers purchases and you ear $.50 on every unit sold from the two Sakes Reps you sponsor on your team.

If you are new to Direct Selling, let us give you some background information.  Sources for this information come from the industries trade associations listed below  as well as from other online industry sources for Direct Selling and Network Marketing.  Learn what the industry experts have to say.

What is Direct Selling?

Direct Selling is the sale of a consumer product or service, person-to-person, away from a fixed retail location. In some cases, products are available in specialty retail locations, but generally speaking Direct Sales products are not readily available on the shelf.

These products and services are marketed to customers by independent salespeople. Depending on the company, the salespeople may be called distributors, representatives, consultants or various other titles. Products are sold primarily through in-home product demonstrations, parties and one-on-one selling.

Benefits of Direct Selling?

Research shows some of the most popular reasons people choose direct selling are:

  • Direct selling is a good way to meet and socialize with people.

  • Direct selling offers flexible work schedules.

  • Direct selling is a good way to earn extra income.

  • Direct selling is a good way to own a business.

  • Earnings are in proportion to efforts.

Anyone can do it.
There are no required levels of education, experience, financial resources or physical condition.
People of all ages and from all backgrounds have succeeded in direct selling.

Direct sellers are independent contractors. You're your own boss, which means you can:

  • Work part-time or full-time - you choose when and how much you want to work.

  • Set your own goals and determine yourself how to reach them.

  • Earn in proportion to your own efforts. The level of success you can achieve is limited only by your willingness to work hard.

  • Own a business of your own with very little or no capital investment.

  • Receive training and support from an established company.

People like to shop through direct selling.
According to recent surveys, 74 percent of Americans have purchased goods or services through direct sales. That's more than the number who have purchased through television shopping and on-line computer services combined. People value the products available through direct selling and 45 percent of Americans want to buy from direct sellers.

Direct selling is a growing industry.
Sales in the U.S. have more than doubled in the last decade to more than $30 billion and are now more than $100 billion worldwide.

People from literally all walks of life, of all ages, are successful in direct sales. About 75 percent of those working in direct sales are women, 10 percent are African American, six percent are Latino and three percent are Asian, Native American or other. Many people start part-time, and later leave their other careers when direct selling becomes more lucrative.

How does this differ from (MLM) Multi Level Marketing, or pyramid scheme
First, MLM typically goes up to 12 levels.  That's a case where you want to get in on the ground floor. Not Yum Drops® Flavoring.  Same holds true with pyramid schemes.  They also go as high as 12 levels. 

Here's the big difference.  Most MLM companies and pyramid schemes are about recruiting other Sales Consultants or Sales Reps.  Not about selling product.  You can make money by recruiting in those cases but not with our products.  In order to prosper as a Sales Consultant with us you have to sell first and you can never have more than two Sales Reps on your team at one time. 

First you have to maintain small levels of online sales yourself to stay active as a Sales Rep.  Then you have to increase your business and grow you sales to another level.  In both cases the minimum levels to remain active are very small amounts.  If you are active at all in the business you will be able to maintain that active status. 

Considering an Opportunity?

Here's how to identify legitimate direct selling opportunities whether you are thinking about us or another company:

Start up costs should be minimal. The start up fees in direct selling companies are generally modest - usually the cost of a starter or sales kit. Companies want to make it easy and inexpensive for you to start. Pyramid schemes make their money through fees paid by new recruits or by loading inventory or training aids on them. High entry fees should be a warning sign.

Is the money you'll earn based on the sale of products or services? The answer should be "absolutely." This is a key element of a legitimate business. Direct selling, like other methods of retailing, depends on selling to customers who use and/or consume the product. This requires quality products and services sold at competitive prices. Beware of any business that claims you can get rich by solely using their products or by recruiting new people into the business. You should also believe in the products or services you'll be selling.

Ask yourself, "Would I buy this product if I weren't in the sales organization?" If the answer to that is no, think twice about the opportunity.

How to Get Started as a Sales Consultant for Yum Drops® Flavoring:

  1. Go to our website and learn about our products and the opportunity.  If you like what you see, sign up as a Sales Consultant.  We will email you the comp plan terms and conditions to review at your leisure.
    www.yumdropsflavoring.com

  2. Take your time deciding.
    Does "getting in on the ground floor" mean that everyone joining after you will be less satisfied or happy? A legitimate opportunity won't disappear overnight. Think long-term. 

  3. Ask questions.
    About the company, its leadership, the products or services, start-up fees, realistic costs of doing business, average earnings of distributors, return policies, and anything else you're concerned about.

  4. Get copies of all company literature.
    And read it! There is plenty of information on our website.

  5. Consult with others who have had experiences with the company and its products.
    Check to see if the products or services are actually being sold to consumers.

  6. Investigate and verify all information.
    Do not assume that "official looking" documents are accurate or complete or even produced by the company, as opposed to the person trying to recruit you..
