[quote=Anonymous]In answer to the original question, if you are thinking of doing direct sales and specifically Stella & Dot there are 4 things you need to consider:
1) Are you a warm, friendly, outgoing, extrovert type of person? If you are even a little bit shy, reserved, held back this might not be the thing for you. You have to be able to easily talk to people, not be afraid to approach new people.
2) Do you love jewelry in general and their line of jewelry in particular? Do you believe in the price point that it's selling at and the quality? You have to have a passion for the product you are selling. I personally love their line, find it on trend and good quality at a great price point.
3) Do you have a wide network? Given all the negative comments in this post, you can see that you can't rely on just your family and friends. This means how active are you outside of your private life in say clubs, church, work, professional organizations, clubs, etc. You have to be out there and active in order to sell any product. You have to target the right people, fashion minded people that love jewelry. For those doing well in this business they are mostly selling outside of their immediate circle.
4) Do you have some money to invest in the business? Money that if you never sell any jewelry will not hurt your household budget? You will hear that you can start your business with just $199 which is true-ish. But to be honest, in order to have a nice selection of jewelry, nicely displayed etc. you will have to put in more. And as the collection changes you will have to invest more as well. But if you are selling you will be getting product credits, so it is do-able. 
It's not for everyone, and it is Work - in order to do well you will have to work hard just like everything else in life. If you are considering it, go to another trunk show, maybe host one yourself to get a feeling of the job at hand.  Then you can decide if it's something you want to do.[/quote]
