Did you know that buying products from Direct Seller’s (Reps, Consultants and Independent Distributors) is really good for your local and country economy? Yup, many of the companies who rely on their Direct Seller’s are small in comparison to the big box stores. While the prices at a box store may seem appealing what is getting lost in the shuffle is all the capital they’re taking in, I’ll explain how…
Consider this...
Everything that is sold in a retail store is marked up about 50% and 30% of the price the box store pays for a product immediately goes to the middlemen. This is not to say these people don’t work hard and deserve what they make. I’m simply saying that a lot of the money spent in box stores does NOT go back into ones community and quite often it doesn’t even stay in your country.
That’s a large percentage of money that never reaches the hands of the average worker/employee… but rather trickles right on up to the higher management positions. Have you wondered ‘why’ minimum wage in the US has not increased in the past 10 years? This is why, too much greed at the top. The bulk of the money these huge companies bring in goes straight past the average person.
In Direct Selling businesses, that 30% does go to the average person, those nearest to the person who makes the purchase of the item. For instance, when someone makes a purchase from me the other Independent Distributors (who support and train me) who are nearest me, and myself, split the 30% between us… then when we each get our commission checks we pay our bills, buy things, and enjoy local entertainment with that money earned.
About 70% of the money a Direct Seller earns in commissions STAYS in that persons community.
