Are you thinking about starting a home-based business, but you don’t want to re-invent the wheel? Many people find the idea of working as an independent consultant for a direct sales company to be the perfect way to start their own business without literally having to start from scratch.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                There are many different types of direct sales companies that rely on extensive networks of independent consultants to market their products to end-use consumers. One of the most popular types of direct sales business, for women and men, is one that involves representing lines of gourmet food products.

Tastefully Simple is one of the most well known direct sales businesses that specialize in marketing gourmet foods.

Based in Alexandria, MN, Tastefully Simple was established in 1995 and has quickly expanded to be one of the fastest growing direct sales business opportunities in the country. The company is a member of Inc. Magazine’s 500 Hall of Fame. The company’s founder, Jill Blaschack Strahan, was named the Minnesota Entrepreneurs, Inc. “Entrepreneur of the Year” for 2007, and she was also included in Pink Magazine’s list of the top 50 entrepreneurs.

The company’s easy to prepare gourmet food products are marketed exclusively through its network of independent consultants, who can choose to sell through home parties, catalogs, internet orders, fundraisers, expo events, and other venues. Consultants earn commissions on their sales, and also have an opportunity to earn leadership income from individuals they recruit to join the business. Individuals interested in becoming Tastefully Simple consultants are required to begin with a starter kit that contains an expansive assortment of samples, display product, business supplies, and training materials.

Once upon a time, an ambitious woman entered a successful store with a
reputation for outstanding, fine quality merchandise. She walked RIGHT up
to the owner and said, “Sir, I am very impressed with your establishment. I’d
like to come on board and build a career here. I can promise you that I’ll
work hard and I’ll do a great job. In return, all I ask for is the
following:

· First, I’d like 35% profit on everything I sell
· I refuse to be a pushy sales person and will only work by “letting the
products sell themselves”
· I would like the opportunity to earn free products, jewelry, and other
fabulous items every month based on my sales
· Then, for every person I bring in and train I would like to make at least
4% off of everything they sell right away, plus bonuses. And I’d like my
percent to increase as I work harder!
· Now, when I do well I expect praise and recognition left and right –
not to mention products, special awards and gifts – Oh yes – and a white
Mercedes Benz!
· By the way, I’m afraid I’m not into that 9 to 5 scene – so, I’ll want to
set my own schedule and work when it suits me best
· And of course – my family always comes first!

Okay that’s about it – so can I start RIGHT AWAY?”

After the store owner recovered from shock he roared with laughter. “Lady,
you can’t be serious! You’re living in a dream world. You’ll never find
and opportunity like that anywhere!”

The woman left the store in a huff determined to prove him wrong!

The next day the lady received a phone call from her friend …. “Do you have
a minute – I wanted to run a great opportunity by you – I think you’d be
great ….” The rest is history!

Until that phone call the woman had no idea Arbonne was her answer.
