Natasha Sent Me to Seoul, South Korea

If you want to travel the world for free, then you should consider doing a direct selling business. Sometime in October, 2013, Natasha sent me (together with my husband and daughter) to Seoul, South Korea. I observed how prosperous are the Koreans, and how intelligent a nation they are. Their underground shopping centers are amazing, more so that they are mostly located underneath their main roads (where there are no high-rise buildings to worry about). Without Natasha, I couldn't have gone there for free.

There are those who dislike direct selling business as it is not cash business. Credit extension however, is the way to go, if you cannot make volumes with your cash business. Try to visit a business center like San Pedro Street of Davao City, if you want to see that it is being mushroomed with pawnshops, lending institutions, appliances and other businesses that are somehow involved with credit extension. In fact, loan granting and the credit cards are the banks' main products.

The only difference with credit-extension business, the Natasha way, is that there's free travel abroad.

Join with Natasha. I am just an email away. I will mentor you from start to finish.

Tupperware at Macau

Tupperware Brands (Asia-Pacific) brought us to Macau in February, 2014. Of the 8,700 delegates from different countries, the Indonesian team (around 3,000 of them) got the highest recognition. In comparison, the Philippine delegation was only over a hundred. I am less than a year yet with Tupperware, but I was invited and my experience with how Tupperware deal with its Independent Business Managers like myself was very encouraging. Tupperware is indeed one of the world's leaders in direct sales for decades already. No wonder Tupperware Brands was reported by CNN as "one of the most admired companies" according to Fortune.

I am deeply indebted to Ma'am Maricon Tadeo (RSM) of Davao Branch, as she was the one helping me decide to join with Tupperware Brands.

I can help a Filipina interested to become a Tupperware Dealer. I can be reached through this link. Kindly drop your comment if you have something to say about Tupperware business.

Splash Direct Sales Sent Us to Bali

Still new with Splash Direct Sales, but Ma'am Glenda Pingol, its GM, allowed me and my husband to enjoy Bali, Indonesia--and for free! Bali is the place of the gods or "dewata." The Balinese are extremely spiritist people, their houses are sometimes smaller than their so-called family temples. Almost 20% of the commercial land area of Denpasar, Bali is used for temples, even banks and government buildings do have a certain space for a temple.

The Balinese are not just "very Buddhist," they are also very artistic, their city is literally filled with idols and other works of art.

Our problem with our Bali trip was the foods served. I desire that the Balinese chefs would study Filipino cuisines for them to understand the meaning of the word "masarap" or delicious.

In fairness, I love Bali. I love their progressive island-province. Of course, I was so glad that Ma'am Glenda, with the support of Splash's big boss, Dr. Rolando Hortaleza, invited me to join with the elite group of Splash Direct Sales at Bali, Indonesia.

Folks, in the world of direct sales, free travel is norm. Join with us.

My Love for the Natasha Opportunity

The Goodness of the Natasha Opportunity

I joined with Natasha sometime in May, 2001, after realizing how difficult it was to make money with an American food supplement direct-sales company. Natasha established its branch in Davao just around six months when I knocked on its doors and finally signed up as a member. Today, all of my affiliations with other direct selling establishments are traceable back to the goodness of the Natasha opportunity. In 2004, Natasha helped me, through my commissions, have a two-storey beautiful house of my own, just a matter of 3 years after my membership.

Had I continued with my teaching career as a former high-school teacher, then my building a house in the populous City of Davao and sending all my children to exclusive schools wouldn't have been a reality. Natasha was God's blessing to me and to my whole family. If there is one company I appreciated so much, it is Natasha, my first company after the end of my cash-business ventures--Natasha, being the most family-oriented company I ever experienced; the company with a true human touch, it being not enslaved by the rough-and-tumble politics of most corporate establishments.

Sir Majar Jardiolin: Smart Guy

Sir Majar Jardiolin, the General Manager of Natasha, is so respectable, understanding, and smart, that we are so confident to have him for our Natasha leader and "captain of the ship." We would never miss our opportunity to build our respective Natasha businesses as he is always putting us, his dealers, at the threshold of great possibilities, year by year.

Ma'am Karleen Gonzales: Effective Leader

Ma'am Karleen Gonzales, our friendly and effective Regional Sales Manager, together with the able leadership of Natasha's Branch Managers in different Branches, where I have business affiliations (Ms. Jazz Balbes (Manager of Davao Branch), Ms. Dabi Bisnar (Cagayan de Oro City), and Mr. Lito Item (Cebu City) to name just three, are living proofs as to how good is the Natasha's team of Company Managers.

Based on Gross Marketing Plan

There is no other company before Natasha that offered a based-on-gross computation of commission. All others are based on a diminishing computation as the rebates moved down to the lower level of recruits. Those companies in the Philippines today that are offering the same gross-based computation are copycats of Natasha.

How to be a Member of Natasha?

It is important to note before starting with your own Natasha business that its membership policy is lifetime, although there's a move to allow change of recruiter on certain conditions. I am one of the Top Natasha Mentors nationwide. You can contact me if you want me to be your recruiter through this link or at info@jdcdirectsales.com.

How to Make Money with Direct Sales Industry?

The Direct Sales Solution

There are a few who are going into direct sales even though they don't understand at first what is it. I am one of them. I joined Avon in 1984, when I was still unmarried, then went with other direct sales companies also until now. In my own family, direct sales in our economic solution. Say goodbye to employment and yes to direct sales if it is in your blood to sell and sell.

How to Make Money with Direct Sales?

In the Philippines, direct selling is the easiest way to start and build a business of your own. What I did was simple: I joined with Avon, Natasha, MSE, Splash, Tupperware, Sundance and other companies. But I started with just one way back in 2001, that is, Natasha. My Avon in 1984 did not last after 5 years, since I shifted to cash business. In 2001 I returned to direct selling via Natasha, one of the best in this industry, at least in the Philippines. Now I am with other companies also.

My direct sales principle is simple: be believable to your customers and agents or dealers. I served my customers satisfactorily, shared the business opportunity with them until  they learned to believe in me and to follow my footsteps. Consequently, my network of direct sellers grew.

Why Did My Network of Direct Sellers Follow Me?

First off, I want to make it clear that only few followed me, more so at the outset. Then, I became a consistent Top Seller. My performance in sales was my main ingredient in organizing dealers. Dealers will not follow a failure, so to speak. The handful who followed me became my core group. I promoted them. Today, most of them are as successful as I am.

The other main thing why did direct sellers join with my organization was that I was able to develop a system where my dealers see me as stable and that my direct-sales organization is worthy to be trusted for the long haul.

What is this system? Well, it is a computer software which my family developed that addresses efficiently the concerns of the dealers, from a well-presented purchases and payments data to a very reliable statement of accounts.

Earn Money Only After a Long While

Earning money with direct sales is less quicker than perhaps with the other forms of business. The network/recruit-based direct sales method (also known as the binary type) is faster in terms of ROI, but in the Philippines, it is sad that it is tainted with one scam after the other.

In the traditional direct sales which I belong, ROI doesn't happen overnight. Once you have established your name already, that is the time you'll be chased after by different companies, and that is the time you'll enjoy a fat credit line too, and a much longer credit term.

To the newbies in this industry, I mean, the dealer/agent side, it is more trial and error. Some companies supplied their people with  do's and dont's. Those who will continue on however, for decades as in my case, are a different breed of people, namely: flexible to the needs of the market, gift-givers to their performing dealers/agents, always excited and enthusiastic, appreciate having an endless payable to the company-source, positive-minded, resilience, frugal, and super risk takers.

Someone has well said that after establishing her own direct sales business, she earned in one month the salary of a Filipino teacher like herself for one year. There is money and financial freedom with direct sales, but you need not be in a big hurry. Really, it takes time to grow a good and stable business. And yes, it is no different with regards to building your own direct-selling business. "Direct selling," to borrow from the words of a certain General Manager, "is always a matter of time."
