Why did I get myself into another Direct Sales company?

Welcome! I’m Carrie, and I’m one of the founding designers for Mialisia jewelry in American Fork, UT. Eleven years ago, I was working for Pampered Chef. During that time, I moved up through the ranks from consultant to Advanced Director. I learned a lot about presenting products and coaching a team. It was so rewarding to see how direct sales could change people’s lives through added income. I also learned that no matter how wonderful the product is it doesn’t sell itself, and the amount of work I put into presenting directly affected what I got out of sales. The people I met and learned from during my time at Pampered Chef were so dynamic and incredible, and I wouldn’t trade that experience for anything. Unfortunately, between health problems and raising kids, I wasn’t able to continue with Pampered Chef. Many times since, various direct sales companies have approached me to join their teams, but none seemed to be quite on par with Pampered Chef.
Then one day my sister-in-law told me of a new venture called Mialisia. Her sister would be launching the company soon, and knowing my experience with the direct sales industry, had asked for my input. I spoke of my time with Pampered Chef and offered my support for the venture. At the time, I hadn’t even really planned to be all that involved, but then I saw a video showcasing the unique jewelry and something about it really resonated within me. I decided to sign up and be involved with the company as it started to grow. With my prior experience, I felt confident I’d earn my investment back in no time, and felt I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. And I couldn’t wait to throw my first jewelry party!
Even though I had only ever seen the product in a video, I was excited to get started selling and help the company get off the ground. It’s been so neat watching the company expand and make a nice profit. I made the decision to join the Mialisia family from the beginning, and you can too! Don’t hesitate to call or email me if you have any questions or concerns. I’m here to help you help yourself!
