No Longer Interested in Direct Selling?

Direct sales representatives often move into and out of the business on a regular basis. If you’ve decided that you no longer want to be a direct seller, here’s what you need to do:

Outstanding Orders

It’s important to fill any outstanding orders for products and services before you stop working as a representative. If you have regular customers, you may also want to introduce them to a fellow representative so they can continue to order the company’s products or services. Customer service is important even if you’ve decided to quit – you never know when you’ll decide to get involved again.

Buy Back Policies

Check your company’s buy-back policy to see if they have a buy back policy and what items you have that may qualify. If your company is a member of the Direct Selling Association, the company must “buy back” unsold marketable products and sales aids purchased within the prior 12 months if you decide to quit the business, for at least 90 percent of the price you paid for them.
