The greater benefits - party plan

The greater benefits - party plan

There are a number of benefits to becoming a distributor with a direct seller. Commonly referred to as a “party plan consultant”, many Mums are finding this is a great way to fund their financial freedom and realise their true potential.

Flexibility
The first and foremost benefit gained from becoming a distributor is flexibility. Mums seek a more flexible means to earn an income.  Unlike some positions of employment, with direct selling you get as much as you are prepared to put in.  The flexibility offered by the direct selling industry allows parents to better balance working life and family commitments.  In fact some distributors of the direct selling industry have found the role of a distributor flexible enough they are able to sustain full time employment as well as successfully fulfil the role of a distributor.

Role Model
Some distributors have acknowledged, becoming a distributor has provided a great training ground for their children.  Parents have claimed because their children have seen their parents at work as a distributor, they have had the opportunity to impart their entrepreneurial flair. Teaching their children money skills, people skills, business management, and more importantly, life skills.

Personal Development
The direct selling community offers great opportunities for personal development and education. Many direct selling companies particularly members of the DSAA, provide on going training to their distributors.  The direct selling industry offers everyone the opportunity to reach their fullest potential irrespective of their current level of education, employment history and so on. Everyone has the same opportunity to be successful in the direct selling industry and vastly improve there skill set. This is a substantial benefit for anyone who may feel prejudice due to his or her level of education, job title, or past experience. In the direct selling industry these are not the deciding factors in how successful people will be.

Budding Entrepreneurs
For entrepreneurs who always dreamed of owning their own business, direct selling provides the greatest opportunity to create your own empire. For many the dream of owning and operating their own business is just a dream, prohibited from realising their ambitions due to the substantial capital investment involved in starting a business.  Direct selling provides a great solution for those who have always aspired to create their own wealth.

Recognition
The recognition distributors receive through the direct selling industry is a significant difference between employers and the direct selling industry.  Unlike some paid employment positions the direct selling industry offers their distributors significant rewards for a job well done.  Such rewards include world trips and news cars. 

Psychological benefits
On another level the direct selling industry offers psychological benefits. Distributors often cite they have gained confidence and self-esteem through their success in the direct selling industry.  It is an important benefit not often immediately associated with the direct selling industry and one worthy of discussion.  Some distributors have attributed their success in the direct selling industry to saving their relationships with their partners. Citing the increase in confidence and self-esteem as a result of their success has directly impacted on their emotional well being, spilling over to positively benefit their relationships.

Financial Position
The direct selling industry offers a great opportunity to improve your financial position. The direct selling industry allows distributors the opportunity to earn as much as they are prepared to work for.  Unlike paid employment, a distributors potential to earn is only limited to the effort and hard work they themselves are prepared to undertake.  This would be one of the more significant benefits of the direct selling industry compensation is directly proportionally to your determination to succeed and your work ethic.

Succession Planning
The direct selling industry offers even greater benefits for families. Some members of the industry have created highly valuable income streams and networks they are able to successfully pass on to their own children. The direct selling industry provides the opportunity for distributors to strategise and implement a succession plan that will ensure the established income stream stays within the family. Apart from owning a business there are few opportunities where parents can successfully pass on a viable income stream to their children.

Security
The direct selling industry offers a higher level of security and longevity.  In a world where employment positions are disposable and redundancies a common by product of business strategy, the ability to be in control of your earning capacity is a comforting sense of security.  The direct selling industry allows distributors the potential to earn as much as they are prepared to work for. Distributors are not readily dismissed for poor performance they simply receive proportionally according to their level of input.

Community
The members of the direct selling industry provide their distributors with a sense of belonging and community. Many direct sellers provide on going workshops, facilitate opportunities for distributors to together and also provide distributors with the opportunity to provide ongoing feedback. Distributors are encouraged to contribute to the direction of the business they are affiliated with, allowing distributors the chance to make suggestions and provide their opinion has helped many direct sellers create a strong sense of family and connectivity for their distributors.
