These difficult times, however, can be a blessing in disguise for people who are building their direct selling business. Below are a few reasons why this is the greatest time for you to join me in the direct selling business:
1. People are now open to change - When the economy and people are thriving, there is no reason for them to explore other opportunities to earn extra income. However, when times become more difficult, like today and people do not have as much confidence in their current situation, they are open to listening to other opportunities.
2. People are risk adverse - During these difficult times, people are not interested in taking risks. Direct selling is the best business, i believe, for people who are risk adverse. The reason is that the risk of financial loss is minimal because the initial investment is small. However, the potential upside is tremendous.
3. People are losing their primary source of income - Many people are losing their primary job. Although this is never great news, these people are going to be more than open to looking at alternate opportunities.
For those of us who are already in the direct selling business, this is when we are most excited and here's why. Of all the thousands of people being laid off from their jobs, most direct sellers only need a minimum of 3 people to join their team to start earning huge residual income. Since direct selling is all about duplication and teamwork, we get to coach everyone under our teams to do as we do. Even after the economy stabilizes, anyone involved in direct selling will still be ahead of the curve as people will now want to reward themselves for their hard work by buying even more products for themselves and their families. Its a win win for everyone involved.
