Direct sales, or direct selling, is a retail channel for the distribution of goods and services. It is basically the marketing and selling of products directly to consumers, not in a fixed retail location. Sales can be made through a party plan, one-to-one demonstrations, and other personal contact arrangements.

It's the same with every every sales profession.That's right. Deceptively simple. And you may want to stop reading because it's so obvious. Bear with me for a couple minutes. Networking is not what you think.Most people talk about networking as a thing you do to build personal relationships. You focus on building your personal network. You use tools like Facebook and LinkedIn. You attend networking groups and events. You build your database.None of those are networking. And none will make you successful. Because they are all about you. If you want to be successful with people, you need to be about them. Sure, everything is eventually selfish.
