Copyright (c) 2009 Schauffler Associates LLC

Spend more time with your family and less time at the office! Grow your own home business that will withstand tough financial times. Here's how:

Are you a professional salesperson who gets proven results? No matter what your sales niche is, you can translate your results into a successful home based sales and marketing business. With the recession hitting our economy, it will be more and more challenging to find a rewarding sales career, but with direct sales you can increase your income exponentially.

While you will enter this type of business with high hopes, it is true that there are stories of failed attempts. Those who go in with sales experience have a much higher rate of success. The job skills learned from working as a professional salesperson give you the edge in this industry. By understanding how to sell, you can guide your team to success as well.

Direct sales works just like real estate and insurance. You move into something similar to a sales manager role once you become successful. How? By working for yourself, you are responsible for generating your own income and results. Once you do that, you have people join under you and you mentor and train them. This is distinctly different from MLM, however, in which you have many levels below you - direct sales should not be confused with this business model.

Working in direct sales is lucrative for more reasons than the financial opportunities offered. While many people are earning a fantastic income every month, the fringe benefits are are often the most important feature. When working in direct sales, you are able to schedule your work around your family. Pick your hours and days. You can work from home and you avoid that always time-consuming commute.

Your success is only limited by the amount of work you want to invest. As a salesperson, you know that the amount of time and effort you invest is directly proportional to your results. When building your own business, of course, it will be the same. With the experience gained working in sales already, you will be able to select your team based on their result-driven experience. By using your prior experience, you can streamline the results to see fast and efficient results.

Take your time to investigate the direct sales opportunities available for you. While some are more reputable than others, don't let bad stories you might hear keep you from reaching your potential income. You will always hear those, no matter what entrepreneurial nich you may try to fill! The opportunities are real and available for you NOW!
