The Washington Post Touts Direct Sales for a Down Economy

Take control of your own financial future!

I found a terrific article in the Washington Post that touts the many benefits of direct sales in a down economy. People are worried about getting laid off from their jobs, but when you work for yourself, like you do as an independent Multi-Pure distributor, you can really take control of your own financial future.

Many recent entrants into the job field have turned to direct selling because of a lack of traditional employment opportunities, according to David Koehler, a professor of marketing at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

"Because of the recession and lack of traditional opportunities for jobs, you're seeing direct-selling businesses taking off," said Koehler.

Starting a direct-selling business doesn't cost much, and representatives can work part-time, making it attractive to people who otherwise might have looked to now-scarce retail jobs to supplement their income. And the companies don't have to pay for office space, pensions or health benefits for these employees, meaning they're relatively cheap hires.

"The cost to add these additional sales reps is relatively low for both sides," said George Van Horn, a senior analyst at Los Angeles-based research firm IBISWorld.

Sales associates also can earn more by selling products, and even more money by recruiting representatives. Each company's practices differ, but recruiting and managing sellers can provide extra income through additional commissions, bonuses or increases in the manager's profit of her own sales.

Multi-Pure not only saves you money on your drinking water, but it also provides an amazing opportunity to earn money now, as well as an income stream in the future! Call us at 1-800-622-9206 or talk to your local distributor for more information on how you can get started!
