NOTE FROM STACY

Happy Spring Everyone! As Stacy McBride Collections moves forward and gets ready to gather our consultants together for our first-ever convention this month, I think about the great opportunities that a career in direct selling offers women.

Women fare especially well in this industry, which is why 4 out of 5 people in direct sales are women. One of the reasons why women are choosing this industry over a traditional job is that it provides so many incredible benefits.

• Flexibility-It gives you the freedom to set your own hours, so you can plan your schedule around your families activities.
• Financial Independence-You can give yourself a raise whenever you want to. By building your own business, you can take advantage of earnings based off of your sales as well as for introducing others to the company. If you work your business as a business, you will reap the benefits. There are no limits to how high you can soar.
• Personal Growth-Direct sales is a great way to increase your confidence. It also allows you to develop new skills and to support others with the same interests.
• Fun and Friendship-The direct selling industry allows you to expand your circle of friends. It's a fun environment, filled with women that want to enjoy a nice evening away from their busy schedules. As a consultant you get to treat them to a wonderful escape!
• Enjoy the products you love-When you join a direct sales company, you get to treat yourself to wonderful products at incredible savings or earn it for free by being your own hostess.
