need help....having second thoughts!!!

[~southernbelle~]

I just signed up with a direct sales company and I'm getting my kit tomorrow but now I'm having second thoughts! For weeks I had been trying to decide between "Company A" and "Company B".

With "Company A" I felt there was a wider variety of customers to sell to and a variety of ways to work the business. The comission with this company was lower. I will say this business had to do with working with kids and I just wasn't sure if I could handle that all the time! (I do have two kids myself and sometimes I need a break) lol....however I do think it would be a fun and exciting opportunity!

With "Company B" the comission is alot higher and I would mainly do home parties. This is a romance company and so I feel that advertising would be limited (meaning you have to be careful how you word things and/or what materials you can leave with local businesses). Again, I think that this business would be fun to do because each party would be a fun "girls night" and some much needed time for myself.

I chose "Company B" and so far I only have my launch party and one other party booked. I'm getting nervous because I can't find anyone else to do a party. Maybe I'm being ridiculous because I haven't got my kit yet!

I have thought about calling the company I joined to ask if I could just send my kit back and get my money back. Is that even possible? Has anyone ever done that?

I dont know what I would do if I were in your situation,but it could just be jitters...maybe when the kit arrives see what kind of return policy they have,maybe work the business(do your parties)book parties from parties and see what kind of success you have with it.I think most companies have a 30 day return policy.Have you spoken to your upline about your fears?Who knows once you start working it and even with those two parties you do have booked,you may decide you like it?Good luck.

Yes I'm thinking it's the jitters also...lol! I just didn't know if it was even possible to return the kit. I haven't spoken to my upline yet. I plan on doing that tonight.

I think its great you have a few parties booked already..I would talk with your upline do your shows that you have booked and go from there...good luck!

[~southernbelle~]

Thanks! I just sent an email to my upline so hopefully it will all work out!

[nattiesmother]

Good luck,Im sure it will all work out!

I hope it all works out for you! I honestly go back and forth with my emotions about my business with Jewel Kade. When I first signed, I was very gung-ho and I knew that I was going to be successful. I signed 5 people right away and had a ton of bookings...then I didn't have any sponsor for 3 months and bookings tapered off. Then I started to get a little panicky that what I envisioned wouldn't happen. All I had to do was talk to my upline and she was able to put me back into perspective. Now it's starting to pick back up and I'm learning that this business has its ups and downs but as long as you have the passion and determination to be successful then there is nothing stopping you!! Not even the down times Hang in there girl!!

Well said Rachel. This is the one lesson I am trying to learn LOL.
Southernbelle let us know how it goes with your new biz. Like all the ladies have said it is probably just the nerves and jitters setting in.

I agree that in part it's the jitters. One thing I always suggest folks ask themselves; is this a product that you yourself would use; today, tomorrow and for years to come?

There is a super thread (not sure which folder) about being a product of the product -

Just food for thought~

I hope everything works out for you and do keep us posted.

I would also agree about Jitters. Getting parties booked is sometimes tough when you don't have your kit/training and stuff with you...once you get kit/products you should be able to get more parties booked...and don't forget, folks who attend the first couple of parties will hopefully book from those.
