| The Career : Direct Selling |
More and more New
Zealanders are abandoning the corporate world and going into
business for themselves. In fact, entrepreneur-ship may well
be the definitive trend of the nineties and the start of the
new century.
The attractions are many: flexible hours, the autonomy
of being your own boss, no more harrowing and time-consuming
commutes, no worries about downsizing, working in the comfort
of home, no more office politics, increased family time and ample
opportunity for self-determination |
| One of the most
popular ways to work for yourself,
but without the risks and stresses of being by yourself, is to
become a direct seller. In direct selling, products and services
are marketed directly to customers through personal explanation
and demonstration. |
Direct sellers
are overwhelmingly independent contractors, which means you work
when and if you want to and you earn in proportion to your efforts.
You have the backing of an established company that provides
training and advice whenever you need it.
Today, more than 97,000 New Zealanders work in direct sales and world wide over 100 million people work in the industry. |
| Direct selling
in New Zealand generates
revenues of over $245 million a year. Unlike many industries, direct selling has experienced good growth over the past decade, as illustrated as in our Graphs Page |
