Written by Rick Libby on June 2, 2016
Fight Your Fears, Open an Opportunity
Starting anything new can be intimidating, especially if there are cautionary tales floating around. Direct sales fears are common - everyone’s heard a horror story or two about demanding quotas and event dead zones and the pressure to sell, sell, sell.
Fortunately, these fears are pretty easy to refute and the prize for facing your fear is a fun, financially rewarding job that can fill in the edges of your busy life or become a full-time career.
“In the last seven years, direct sales has grown almost 6% to a $34.5B industry.”

After all, there’s a reason the direct sales industry has seen steady growth over the last decade or so.
