Our Industry

Direct selling industry has revolutionized the whole concept of trading all over the world. In late 18th century the concept of direct selling came into being and so as the time passes technology has totally changed it.

Before we continue furthermore, it is important for us to better understand what direct selling is and how it works?

Direct selling is a retail channel used by top global brands and smaller entrepreneurial companies to market products and services to consumers. Companies market all types of goods and services, including jewelry, cookware, nutrition's, cosmetics, housewares, energy, insurance & much more.

The direct selling channel differs from broader retail in an important way. It isn’t only about getting great products and services into consumers’ hands. It’s also an avenue where entrepreneurial-minded peoples can work independently to build a business with low start-up and overhead costs.

Direct selling consultants work on their own, but affiliate with a company that uses the channel, retaining the freedom to run a business on their own terms. Consultants forge strong personal relationships with prospective customers, primarily through face-to-face discussions and demonstrations. In this age of social networking, direct selling is a go-to market strategy that, for many companies and product lines, may be more effective than traditional advertising or securing premium shelf space.

Almost 89% of direct sellers work as a part time and they build an economy whose foundation is built upon entrepreneurial spirit and independent work.
