Want a Recession-Proof Job? Think Direct Sales!

Want a Recession-Proof Job?
Think Direct Sales!

A front-page article in the 5/14/09 issue of USA TODAY highlighted what has been a hallmark of our direct sales industry … companies like The Limu Company (TLC) offer a home-based business that is recession-resistant. As the economy continues to stagnate in 2009, the prospect of a home-based business being a real life-saver for families in financial distress grows … and you owe it to yourself and everyone you know to tell our story.

As noted in the USA TODAY article, “direct sales businesses that rely on home-based representatives … are seeing their sales forces rapidly expand as the nation's unemployment rate soars to nearly 9% and those who lost jobs and nest eggs look for new ways to make money.”

In that article, Neil Offen, president of the Direct Selling Association, says “We're recession-resistant in the sense that more people come to us during economic hard times for supplemental income or replacement of a lost job. Anecdotally we're hearing that recruitment is up and unfortunately, as the unemployment rate rises to 10% or higher, we'll be picking up more people who need an income-earning opportunity."

“It’s a fact that the recession we’re living through is affecting many people across the country every day. That means we have an even greater obligation to bring our TLC opportunity to people who are struggling financially," says Gary J. Raser, President and CEO of The Limu Company.  “This is the time when we can most make a difference in lives, when we can really help people create a new future.”

The people affected in this difficult economy are everywhere … from students trying to pay for continuing college educations, to new graduates unable to find a first job, to young professionals receiving no raises or promotions … from working adults fearing the possible loss of a job or a reduction in hours, to established professionals who have already been forced to take a pay cut … from women that need to find a way to earn money and supplement their family income, to retirees who have seen a significant loss in their nest egg retirement funds or portfolios.

In the article, it notes that “Direct selling is a fluid industry, with only 10% of representatives working ‘full-time’ or at least 30 hours a week. But some who work in or watch the industry believe the severity of this recession may cause more sellers to stick with it, even when the economy rebounds, at least as a way to supplement their income.”

“Tens of millions are being affected by this recession in some way,” says Raser.  “And most of those people are actively looking for a Plan B that may in fact become their Plan A, because their jobs and their quality of life are at risk. It’s a whole new world for lots of good people, and TLC is a great financial rescue package for all of them.”
