The Passive Salesgirl

I remember years ago when I just joined the workforce and started earning a salary, I would join each and every direct selling company out there! It didn't matter if it required me to Sell Gold, Sell Gold Coins or Sell Jewelry, as long as it was a direct selling company, I would join without hesitation.

Not that I was a good salesperson but most of the time I was forced to... my colleagues, my close friends and even my relatives would beg me to join their 'down-line' and if I was active enough I would be earning commissions and bonus. If only it was that easy I'd be so rich by now... hehe

I was never the active nor the aggressive salesperson. Instead I'm the buyer and user of those things (cosmetics, jewelry, lingerie, plastic containers, health supplements). It became a habit to buy something, just anything so that my membership wouldn't be terminated as most of them required you to be active or your membership will be revoked after a certain period of time. Of course you could still buy the stuff but you would have to pay more as a non-member.

Then I just realized I have been inactive for a couple of years now and my memberships all have expired! Dang! I wonder if I can reactivate my account and go bug all of you to join or buy something from me. You all will buy if I ask you to, right? Right? RIGHT??! Hahaha ... just kidding.

I don't think I have the desire to start direct selling again. I'll just stick to blogging, it's more fun!biggrin
