If you work for a Direct Sales Company, one of the aspects of your business may be recruiting others. When you build your downline, you build your income as well. In my experience in working for a DSA company, it is imperative that you are completely honest with your potential recruits. I have found that there are two types of recruits.
The first type are those that would just like to get a discount on the product. They are not really interested in parties or selling (except to themselves and maybe a few close friends). Tell them about the discounts that are offered and be sure to let them know if there are any monthly, quarterly or yearly minimums that must be met. If they would receive even greater discounts by selling more, discuss that as well.
The second type of recruit wants to make a business and earn extra money. They are less concerned about personal discounts. Help them understand what kind of profits they will see. Be honest about how much they can possible make. If they have a $400 party will they see $40 profit or $100 profit? Teach them how to cut costs by having only the basic materials needed for demonstrating the product. The more they have to put out of pocket, the more they will see less profit.
