Selling for More Than 2 Direct Sales Co

[slhalepc]

I am just wandering if anyone else sells for any other direct sales co. (31, sentsy, velata, jewlery, ect.) How is that working for you. Are you able to spin off one for the other? I have noticed that allot of others seem to do it. Of course Sentsy has the whole "family" concept. Any info helpful. Let me and others know what works for you.

I do not sell for anyone but pc but I have consultants on my team that do. It doesn't work. The ones that have multiple businesses are basically "facebook" consultants-post specials to get orders for this biz or that.

If someone wants to do it they have the option (unless they promote to director w/pc, then they can only do pc). It's my personal opinion that you can't have the success you desire by dividing your time, energy, and your heart.

I'd recommend you pick one to sell and one to be a great host for someone else.

I would think you would burn more than a few bridges more so than get more business. You would have to hit up the same list of friends to get both started. I cant see many appreciating that (I wouldnt).

I recently talked to a TS rep and learned from her that PC registered with the DSA (Direct Sales Association) as a food merchant last year. TS reps are not allowed to sell for any other food merchants. I had not heard about this. Perhaps this is why one of my people who was selling TS before joining PC dropped PC last year/early this year.I'm not a fan of the people repping multiple companies. I can understand doing 2 but the ones with 3 or 4 perplex me.

I just started to sell Thirty-One in addition to PC. The main reason I did it - I needed a lot of stuff for holiday gifts and would rather earn the commission myself.

I was very upfront with my director that my PC business is my primary business, and would just be working Thirty-One sporatically for family and friends.

Well I have been looking into Velata (Choc Fondu under Scentsy) I thought it would be nice complement to what I aready do. Our enternaining line and "gadgets would be handy when prepping foods for dipping and serving pieces. I don't feel like it would be a conflict, We don't have anything like it in our line.
Does anyone know if there is a policy with pc about working for 2 co's. I do know that for Velata You can not do an event and show more than 1 product (of any kind, even in the Scentsy family), but you can show more than one at home shows.

With PC, you can sell for more than just PC until you hit the Director level, at which time you can only represent PC. You cannot sell both products at the same event, either a vendor event or a cooking show.

Read the current policy guide for the specifics.

Do not cross the line when it comes to doing your PC parties. I remember very long ago a PC consultant being asked to resign after her PC hosts started calling HO with complaints about her selling both her product lines at her PC parties. I do not know if she had issues with the other company but... And she was OK to sell for both companies as she was not a director. But she goofed and crossed the line. Read the Policies and you will see what to do.

I do have to agree however that if you are going to do something, do one thing and do it well. Doing two things half way will never go well. You will find you have more stress, less free time and it will cost you more in dollars as well because the less of either business you do, the less free stuff you will earn to keep either business going. And no one likes to see a person who is half a sleep using knives!
