Half Term Flexibility?
Half term is just around the corner
and school holidays are often the time when a truly flexible job comes into it's
own. Direct selling jobs are ideal as they give you the ultimate flexibility.
It is an ideal way to start a business of your own and offers many unique and
rewarding opportunities often with minimal outlay. It is the UK's largest
provider of part time earnings, you decide, this can be a job for just a few
hours a week or, for some, a full time occupation.
Our tips to find the best direct selling job for you...
What interests you? You can turn your hobby into your job! There are such a wide range of party plan jobs, cookery, books, clothes, cosmetics, toys, jewellery, house hold products, the choice is yours.
Can you sell? If you love talking to people and can be enthuastic you are half way there!
Minimal outlay. Direct selling only
requires a very modest initial investment to start your own business - often
less than £100. A bargain when you consider the average start up cost for a small UK
business working from home is around £5,000. Your direct selling investment usually includes a
range of the products, catalogues and other material.
Consider when you will work. Who are your customers and how will you meet them. Evening parties, local fairs and even toddler groups are all opportunities for direct selling as well as door to door. There is often training from an area manager to get you started in the right
direction and then ongoing support.
Do you need a car? This depends on what you will be selling. If this is a problem for you then go for a product that is small and light such as jewellery or cosmetics. Remember that Anita Roddick founded The Body Shop by filling her bike basket up
with a few home made products and selling them directly before she opened that
first famous shop in Brighton.
Are you organised? Booking parties, taking the right things with you, placing orders, delivering orders will all require exceptional organisation skills.
