Is Thirty One Gifts a good direct sales company to work for?

[MoMofTWOkiddos]

I want to sign up for a direct sales company such as Thirty One Gifts to make extra money on the side. I'm just not very familiar with direct sales directly. What are the pro/cons of getting into something like this?? (I want to earn vacation money for next year)

Idk. I've only recently heard of them because one of our patients had the cutest bag ever and I commented on it. She said she got it through 31 gifts. I didn't see it when I looked :(

I actually no one who sells this, but have never bought anything from them.

i used to sell for them and no longer do it.  i do sell other things and do much better with that than i ever did with Thirty-One with half the effort. This is really big in certain parts of the country and not others.  Though O no longer sell it myself, I buy or trade inventory with my friends who do.  There is alos a lot of it on eBay - not allowed by the company, but it is there.

With a company like Thirty-One, which is Direct Sales, here is what will deternines success...

1. Love Your Product

2. Share/Sell your Product

3.  Teach others to do the same.

Money comes from sales and Thirty-One does 25% commission but the most of the $ comes from duplication or teaching others to do the same - and you make overrides.  With Thirty-One, you sell $1000 and you have 2 or more people doing that under you, then you get a percentage of that and that grows as your team grows.
