Top Legitmate Home Direct Sales Opportunites

In my experience with direct sales in both working the field and researching, I have come across some of the top direct sales companies, and I will list ten of those for you shortly.  Ultimately, the company you decide to go with depends largely on where your interest lies.  You have to love what you do and love your product, otherwise you won't be successful.  You must be self motivated and self disciplined to succeed in working from home in direct sales.  Also, you must be patient because success does not come overnight, and most likely you will be incurring some expenses up front to invest in and grow your business.  With that being said, here are a few of the top direct sales opportunities.

Stay At Home Moms – How to Earn Money From Home Without Sales

By: Audrey Okaneko

One of the most frequently asked questions I see is, “How can I earn money from home without selling?”

When I ask exactly what it is that the person doesn’t want to do, the answer is almost always the same. I’m told, “I don’t want to bother my family and friends.”

Think of a local restaurant you enjoy. Do you think the owner bothered their family and friends to build the business?

Next, think of a local real estate office in town. Do you believe the realtors in those offices bothered their family and friends to build their businesses?

Finally, think of a boutique or small independently owned retail business in your town. Again ask yourself, do you believe the store owner/s bothered family and friends to build their business?

If you have looked into working at home and you’ve found the many direct sales opportunities available out there, have you ever asked, “How would I market this?” If you’re told that you’ll make a list of family and friends, I say move on. Thank the person for their time and move on.

There are several problems with making a list of family and friends:

1. These are not people who have expressed an interest in what you’d be offering.
2. There is a risk of damaged relationships from you asking and from them saying no.
3. Once you’ve gone through your family and friends, then what?

The only positive of trying to sell to family and friends is that you already know the person and you’re not speaking with a stranger.

If you still don’t want to get involved in sales, then it’s time to polish up your resume and begin looking for a telecommute position.

These positions do exist, but they are rare and they are given to those who are completely qualified for the position offered.

One of the most frequently asked questions by the employer is, “Why do you want to work at home?” Remember, the employer is considering paying you a wage. The employer does not want to know that you have children at home, a sick relative you care for etc. They want to know that you will be working for the money they are going to be offering you. Have your answer well prepared before the interview.

Answering phones for call centers is one of the most popular telecommute positions. They require a separate phone line and absolute silence: no children and no pets. If you are ever caught with children or pets in the background you’ll lose your job.

Whether you choose sales or find an employer willing to allow you to work at home, don’t say yes until you’ve done enough research to know that a yes answer is the right answer for you.
