Does “getting in on the ground floor” mean that everyone joining after you will be less satisfied or happy? A legitimate opportunity won’t disappear overnight. Think long-term.
About the company, its leadership, the products or services, start-up fees, realistic costs of doing business, average earnings of distributors, return policies, and anything else you’re concerned about.
And read it!
Check to see if the products or services are actually being sold to consumers.
Do not assume that “official looking” documents are accurate or complete or even produced by the company, as opposed to the person trying to recruit you.
Contact our list of DSAs members, the Better Business Bureau or the government consumer affairs office.
The cornerstone of the WFDSA’s commitment to ethical business practices and consumer service is its World Codes of Ethics. Every national DSA pledges that it will require each member as a condition to admission and continuing membership in the DSA to comply with the WFDSA World Codes of Ethics for Direct Selling with regard to direct selling activities both inside and outside of its home country, unless those activities are under the jurisdiction of Codes.
