Dream Team Sponsor Guide
What is Direct Sales?? Face to face presentation, demonstration, and sale of products or services, usually at the home or office of a prospect by the independent direct sales representatives. Employed by firms such as Thirty-One, Scentsy, Norwex, Lipsense, Avon, Mary Kay, and Tupperware, direct selling differs from network marketing in that it offers little or no incentives for recruiting ever increasing number of sales representatives.
What is Thirty-One
We are a direct selling company offering a business opportunity. We offer a wide variety of personal/giftable products that are functional, fashionable and help organize your life. Many of our products can be personalized. We believe in celebrating, encouraging and rewarding others for who they are. Through God’s strength, we’ve built a family of individuals who feel women deserve to treat themselves and those around them to something special. Our commitment is to provide women with a fulfilling, enjoyable and rewarding experience one person at a time. The name Thirty-One comes from the verses of Proverbs 31. The Proverbs 31 woman is dearly loved and respected by her family, yet she is an individual in her own right. She manages her home and property with kindness and integrity. Her savvy business skills are partly brought about by her desire to serve others, to do good deeds and to prosper.
What does it mean to be a consultant?
As a Thirty-One Consultant, you are in business for yourself, but not by yourself. Your status is that of an “independent contractor.” The Consultant Agreement is a contract by which you agree to sell and distribute our products. You establish your own goals, hours and methods of sale, as long as you comply with our policies and procedures and any applicable laws. As an independent contractor, you’re not (and may not represent yourself as) an employee, agent, partner, legal representative or franchisee of Thirty-One. This means that you’re not entitled to receive a salary or any benefits we offer to our employees. It also means that you don’t have the power or authority to enter into contracts or to incur any debt, obligation or liability on our behalf. You are responsible for your own business decisions and expenses, including the payment of any taxes or fees related to self-employment, Workers’ Compensation, employment insurance and other taxes or fees required by federal, state or local laws.
