Frequently asked questions.

What type of business background do I need to operate a DirectBuy franchise?
DirectBuy franchise owners have various backgrounds and come from all walks of life. While it's certainly helpful to have experience in sales and service, as well as management, it's not necessary. DirectBuy provides new franchise owners with training in the DirectBuy marketing system, management, recruiting and staff development. There is also continuous on-site training with Field Sales and Service support. These tools, along with your business and interpersonal skills, could be a winning combination.

How much money can I expect to earn?
This depends on a number of factors, including your own business abilities and efforts. We cannot and do not project for you how much you can expect to earn. In our Franchise Disclosure Document, we provide statistical information about membership sales and membership prices of existing DirectBuy franchise owners to give you a point of reference for your own business plan. You should also check with existing franchise owners about their experiences.

What kind of ongoing support can I expect as a DirectBuy franchise owner?
We are absolutely committed to helping our franchise owners succeed. Besides the comprehensive Business Management School Training Program for new franchise owners, our staff of expert Field Sales and Service Consultants visits DirectBuy franchise owners to provide ongoing support and assistance. Throughout the year, franchise owners attend regional meetings and our International Sales & Service Conference. The International Corporate Support Center sponsors special events and awards designed to encourage peak performance among franchise owners and employees.
