The Code and Direct Sellers

As a salesperson, you should expect a DSA member company to:

  • Provide you with legal and accurate information on the company’s pay structure, products and sales methods.
  • Refrain from any unlawful or unethical recruiting practice and exorbitant entrance or training fees.
  • Base all actual and potential sales and earnings claims on documented facts.
  • Abstain from encouraging you to purchase more inventory than you can sell in a reasonable amount of time.
  • Repurchase 90% of the marketable inventory and sales aids you have purchased within the past 12 months if you decide to leave the business.
  • Explain the repurchase option in writing.
