Do you mean like a Mary Kay Consultant or something like that?

I have done a flyer or two, but that is about it. I tried to poll this earlier in the year to see where their needs lie for use of a VA. Most of the responses were based around making phone calls and trying to touch base with people. Some wanted cold calling work while others just wanted to get parties and such scheduled.

Have you attempted to tap into the industry yet or just trying to get ideas?

Good luck either way!

Well, I am currently a BeautiControl consultant. I have been for about 4 1/2 years but my director really needs someone to do a newsletter and mailings. She also suggested that I do this for some other directors in our unit.

I've been thinking that there would be a real opportunity out there for admin work like this.

You might be able to get business from the people who are high up in the upline (consultants with hundreds of consultants selling under them) of these businesses, but not for the individual consultants. I don't think they'd be able to afford it.

I agree. I think that's who I have to approach. The good thing about this is that I know how their marketing structure is.
I know that my Director and many of the other directors right now are looking for someone to do a monthly e-mail newsletter

No I haven't done any work with direct sales consultants but agree that it sounds like a great market.
