What to Say When You Switch Direct Sales Companies
June 8, 2009 – 2:45 pmOne issue facing women who change direct sales companies is what to tell family, friends or previous customers about why they are switching companies. One of our members, Chefshe, recently asked the question:
“I was just wondering if any of you have switched companies more than once, how do you approach people and say yes I’m doing “such and such” now, and I’m not a flake?”
WAHM.com members offered many great responses and EstherL offered the perfect solution:
“When people ask you about your changes, you can simply ask them, ‘Have you ever changed from one job to another?’ Chances are, yes, they have!
For some reason, when people change home business companies, it can be perceived as ‘betrayal’ or ‘flakiness,’ but when people change jobs, no one bats an eye. We all have to make choices based on what works best for us and our families, and we can’t let others’ opinions of us influence our decisions.”
EstherL is right - if you need or want to change companies for whatever reason, don’t put so much pressure on yourself about what others will think. You have to make the best decisions for yourself and your family.
Have you changed direct sales companies? What did you tell your family, friends and customers about why you switched?

I don’t plan on switching businesses, but I have seen on the Internet many people that do.
I always wondered how they explain it to family and friends.

The authoritative answer, it is tempting…
