I see LimeLife has a direst sales business Model. I’m not sure I want to be associated with direct sales. what about the image of direct sales?
LimeLife by Alcone is a makeup company that decided to use a direct sales model, they are not a direct sales company that decided to sell makeup. There is a difference. LimeLife by Alcone was started by a reputable, industry supplier that has been trusted by professional artists for over five decades. Please tap here to read more about the company.
The direct sales model has never been more relevant to society than now. We do everything online and are extremely savvy shoppers who want a personal experience with real time reviews. Direct sales has definitely found itself with a reputation that was earned through sketchy business practices, aggressive sales tactics, and inferior products created to produce fast sales. We, like LimeLife, believe that it’s not the direct sales model that should be cut off, but those responsible for the bad reputation. We cannot hold bad business practices against a whole industry any more than we would be willing to stop shopping at all supermarkets just because one grocery chain does bad business. We believe the industry has to be changed from the inside. LimeLife as a brand is committed to transparent business practices, loyalty to both independent business owners and clients, and quality of product. LimeLife does not encourage inventory loading, building a team where the leader or director doesn’t work twice as hard, or promising anyone will reap rewards they didn’t work hard for. LimeLife is a game changer, not just for consumer makeup and skincare but for the direct sales industry also.
As of writing this, Cici does not have a team with LimeLife even after working with them for over two years. You do not have to have a team, though some beauty guides do choose to have one. We don’t encourage anyone to just “join.” This is a business opportunity. It requires the desire to be an entrepreneur and to commit to the work and effort building any business requires.
. Do I need to Invest alot of money or keep inventory?
There is a mandatory initial investment of $169 that is the price of the products needed to get yourself familiar with the chemical free skincare and professional makeup so you can present them and speak about them to others. The kit is valued over $400.00, no profit is made by anyone making the investment of this starter kit.
There is also a mandatory fee of $9.00/month for the cost of maintaining your personal LimeLife by Alcone website. The website renews every year for an additional $75.00.
Keeping inventory in your personal office or location is not required nor is it suggested. First, skincare and makeup are perishable items. You run the risk of having quality issues with your customers or being left with taking a loss for products that cannot be sold. That is the old direct sales model people are used to. That is not who LimeLife is or encourages independent business owners to be. We do realize that if you have a salon or spa you may want to keep a product or two on your shelves, but again, this is NOT mandatory. If you insist we suggest you are very careful with the amount and suggest only having one or two of an item on hand for an emergency but letting your client get the full benefit of LimeLife by Alcone’s direct shipping and 30 day return policy.
