Running Multiple Dsa Businesses

[nikked]

Hello. I'm starting on a new adventure, and was wondering what those of you who do more than one DSA business do to make both successful.

I'm wondering about things like recruiting and bookings especially. Do you ever feel guilty for recruiting for one and not the other? How do you find your balance.

Any guidance and advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

That's great about your new company--I'm just starting with one too
The one I'm starting with I'm doing with my hubby which is exciting to me, because he's actually excited too. The company we're with doesn't have any products that come close to competing with PC, that's why I'm excited. We just couldn't pass up on the opportunity because it's actually a brand new company & you don't always get a chance to get in at the beginning, plus we know the couple that's starting it out of our hometown. It is tough though--I don't want to be like, here's my wonderful PC products but if you're not interested in that then take a look at these OTHER products!
I have already contacted some of my preferred PC customers, and told them about my new company. Said that if they were interested in seeing the products or hearing about the company they could let me know. I said that PC is my #1 love, and I'd love to have them on my PC team also, but I'm starting a new venture to make some extra money so I can get my bigger house faster!
I am curious what others might have to say on the topic, since it is a new thing for me also Best of luck to you!

before i quit PC i was also selling Discovery Toys. I find it easier to sell the toys than PC. I think you just have to find the balance between the two. go by what your customers want and not what you want.

I can't imagine juggling two different direct sales businesses and managing to truly be successful in either. But that's just me...when I do something I put my all into it. Our company must feel the same way because once you promote to director you can't be a consultant for another company anyway.

You will have to resign as a Future Director with the Pampered Chef. You can be a consultant for 2 companies but you can not promote with either. I was going to start up with TOHE but because I want to promote so I chose to save my money.

PromotionI can maintain my future directorship, but cannot promote to director unless I leave the other company. That is something I am very aware of...

And one of the reasons why I am trying something new. It compliments TPC without competing, and is a newer company which has joined with an individual and a company within Direct Selling, poising it for great growth, quickly.

I have run into an "over saturation" problem with TPC where I am at. While I periodically do meet someone who has never heard of TPC, for the most part, at a show or one-on-one, I get, "TPC? Do you know so-and-so? They're my consultant."

So, needless to say, I am frustrated. I love TPC, and plan on maintaining TPC at my current level, while focusing on growth with the other company and seeing where that takes me.

So, any tips that those of you have done or are currently doing double duty can share would be greatly appreciated.

I glad for you that you can stay a future director I must have not read enough, I wish you luck which company is it? If you don't mind me asking.

I was not aware of that....but with my new company, my husband is actually signed up, & I'm just his 'co-sign'.
