Totswap from a vendor's perspective - part 3

As I walked into the Unique Boutique room, instead of pulling my typical aversion technique to avoid these companies like the plague cause heaven forbid I actually talk to someone, I stopped, and talked with the ladies at almost every table. I picked up more info on the companies, grabbed the catalogs I was interested in, bought a few items and even booked a party! I found out that none of the women were going to bite. =) They had all worked very hard to set up a beautiful display on their table, and were all thrilled to let me know how they got into direct sales. Some of the women I clicked with and I keep in touch with those ladies today.

Within two months, I signed up with a direct sales company which allowed me to stay home with my son for several more months. Now, I work part time as a freelance attorney and am involved with several direct sales companies. I love being able to get my products at cost and even more importantly, I have found direct sales to be so rewarding because it gives me the flexibility to be home with my son an extra 20+ hours per week. I love being able to share my story and experience with others in the same position and help them find a solution that allows them to earn extra money, stay home with their children, feel successful, or meet any other goal or dream.

I'm thrilled to say that I will be a vendor at the Gaithersburg and Frederick Totswaps this fall. I truly hope that instead of running past me, you all will stop, say hi, and if, like me, you need some extra money, and time with your children, that you will stay a while and find out what direct sales is all about.

Totswap from a vendor's perspective - part 2

As I said before, I was a full time attorney prior to having my son. I never thought I would want to be a stay at home mom, until I realized how much my little guy needed me, how much I needed him, and how everyday brought new experiences that I wanted to share with him. I had been combing the papers, calling everyone I knew, and trying to figure out any way to make enough money to pay my mortgage and other monthly bills without having to go back to work (at least not full time). Everyone I spoke with said pretty much the same thing...it is hard when you first go back, but it will get easier. That was not what I wanted to hear. I was looking for a magic bullet.

I left the main room in the Gaithersburg Totswap, walked through the housewares room, and ran smack into the answer I had been looking for. There, in front of me, was the Unique Boutique. Tons of women who looked genuinely happy and relaxed. They all had tables set up with just about every product you could imagine. Some of the companies I had heard of like Mary Kay and Tupperware, but there were also many I never knew existed. I had never hosted a party of any of these types of companies, but had gotten a few products over the years at friend's parties. I knew that I loved all the products I had tried, and that I really did think the quality of the product had been better, and I loved that I did not have to go to the mall. The consultants had been really nice, followed up with me later, and made me feel very comfortable with my purchases.
