Start-Up Companies

If you are new to the direct sales industry or just starting your own company then our DST Team can guide you through the many landmines that exist out there. Some people think if they just have a product, compensation plan, software and an investor then the rest is pretty simple.

Here are two big mistakes people make:

1. Some people think because they have been successful in the retail or wholesale world, they can do it again in the direct sales world. They come in with big egos and the idea that this is a no brainer. Please if this is anywhere near your current thinking then stop. Direct Sales is a highly sophisticated sales, marketing, communications and distribution channel. The people factor of the distributors and consultants is unique to this industry. You will want to learn, understand and embrace this uniqueness’s before venturing down this road. Many investments have been lost with entrepreneurs that thought they knew it all.

2. The next mistake is when a person who has been successful as a distributor thinks that because of their success in the field that they can own and run a direct sales company. These are two different worlds. The field experience is critical to the
success of the direct sales companies. But running a direct sales company is totally different that building a downline.

Here at DST we have done both. We can walk you through Concept to Launch. We can take you through our Direct Selling 101 course that goes through all the aspects of building a direct sales company. This course will help you avoid some of the most
common landmines. We can design your compensation plan, build sales material and guide your executives through the critical path of launching your new company.
