AIM GLOBAL BUSINESS VS TRADITIONAL DIRECT SELLING BUSINESS PART 2

There is lot of money that can be made if you are into the Traditional Direct Selling Business. We know of people who have made a living out of it and a few had some financial success. The dilemma of Traditional Direct Sales is that it has its own limits.

First is the type of product to sell

The real estate, car or even insurance industry has boomed in the last few years. This is largely to the growth of our economy, where there are more investors coming to the country. As a salesman of any of these products, you could surely earn big commission if you get to sell to even one client.

However, you must remember that you are selling non-consumable products, which means, the moment you get to close one sale this month, it is highly unlikely that you can get to sell the same type of product to the same customer the next month.
You may have to wait for another year or in most cases find another customer.

Our point is that, the chances of having repeat sale to the same person are very slim to none. And this could be the reason why a lot of sales people burn out, because they have to tirelessly look for new clients.

The second limit of Traditional Direct Sales is the ability to expand your sales territory

Some companies designate sales team or individuals to specific areas only. In short they have boundaries.

If in case the Company they are connected with does not have boundaries, then it would be their physical body that can restrict them from expanding their business. You could not be in two places at the same time right?

If you own a retail store in Manila, and you decide to go to Hong Kong for vacation, you won’t be able to bring your store abroad. You would be forced to close shop. And when you close shop, you stop earning profit.

The third limit in Traditional Direct Sales is that you could not make profit from other direct sellers as shown in the figure below.

The image above says it all, and the tendency is to compete against each other.
We all know there is competition in business. Competition is good, especially if it is healthy contest. It brings out the best in you, it makes people more creative. Some of the best products in the market today are developed and enhanced by healthy competition of the different organizations or companies.

The problem is people tend to focus more on competing against each other as oppose to creating value to the market place. And as a result, negative attitudes such as envy or jealousy sets in when they begin to bad mouth or say negative things to their counterpart just to promote their interest.

Remember this, companies or businesses whose focal point is to destroy other business just for them to shine will ultimately die.

* Note to figure above – some companies have marketing plans that gives direct sellers make money with the sale of other direct sellers.

In the next article, we will then show you how AIM Global business truly differs and arise above all the limitations set by the Traditional standard of direct selling.
