Beware The Direct Sales Person

I am a direct jewelery seller. I love what I do and I try to be as considerate as possible to everyone I encounter. Recently I had a run in with a Mary Kay women who was pushy and in the end screwed me over. I hope that you never have to deal with what I have and give you these savey tips to keep you out of direct sales trouble.

The first is always take your first impression literally. I have dealt with a few direct sales people in my time and if you like them right off then do business with them. If you do not, then back away and be rude if you have to. This is what I should have done.

Make sure you get everything in writing. You should have a copy of your receipt and a copy of the return policy. If your hosting this should be given to you right from the start. If your attending a party make sure the hostess has it and you also get a copy.

If there is a problem try to get things in writing. Also don’t always trust the word of the direct seller as they will do anything to get a sale.

If possible give feedback on the seller to the origination they work for. Most places want to hear both good and bad things about the people they have selling their product.

Remember you don’t have to run from someone in direct sales. It’s a growing form of business and will keep growing. It’s also a great place to get good deals on things from Jewelery to cookware. Not all direct sellers are bad people, just a few seem to be overeager or out for blood.
