By Rivka Slatkin

So you’re looking into a Direct Sales/Network Marketing opportunity? You’re not the only one, you know.

Once you are presented with a Direct Sales opportunity, you only really need to do two things. Try the product to see if you like it and look into the company’s compensation plan. Understand if your company is more direct sales focused or network marketing based so you know if you will be spending more of your time selling the product or recruiting other business builders. Ask questions about what the company’s reach out methods are and see if you feel comfortable with fitting those reach out methods (of spreading the word about the product) into your life.
