- Study
reveals 77% of Americans interested in flexible, entrepreneurial options
- Ranking
high on the list of “attractive entrepreneurial opportunities” was direct
selling
- Flexibility,
income potential at core of Sharing Services’ direct-selling opportunity
A new study released by the U.S. Direct Selling Association
indicates that more than three-quarters of Americans are interested in flexible
entrepreneurial opportunities (http://ibn.fm/uwJvU). That news bodes well for Sharing Services Global Corporation (OTCQB: SHRG), a
diversified holding company that focuses on direct selling and offers its
exclusive sales force – called Elepreneurs – an array of tools and resources to
support them in their entrepreneurial careers.
The U.S. Direct Selling study was conducted by Ipsos, a
global market research and a consulting firm. “The Consumer Attitudes &
Entrepreneurship Study revealed that 77% of Americans are interested in
flexible, entrepreneurial opportunities, with the most interest coming from
young people,” Ipsos Executive Vice President Lisa Gudding stated in a news
release. “We saw strong interest in both ‘gig’ work, such as ride-sharing
services, as well as direct selling where people can share a variety of
products in a face-to-face or online setting. These entrepreneurial
opportunities also met several of the study participants’ top criteria,
including ranking high for flexibility and ability to earn supplemental
income.” The comprehensive study also confirmed positive perceptions of direct
selling as both an attractive entrepreneurial opportunity and an ideally
personalized and convenient way to “shop local.”
Among the 77% of Americans who expressed interest in
entrepreneurship, the most interest came from younger generations, with 91% of
Gen Z’s and 88% of Millennials interested in entrepreneurial opportunities. The
study also reported that interest in pursuing an entrepreneurial opportunity
was relatively equal among men (79%) and women (76%).
In addition, the research conducted revealed that, although
U.S. unemployment rate is near a 50-year low, average wages have been sluggish
over the same time period while household debt has increased. This imbalance
has resulted in Americans searching for ways to earn supplemental income and
increase financial security.
Ranking high on the list of “attractive entrepreneurial
opportunities” was direct selling. Almost 80% of the survey responders
indicated an interest in the industry, second only to gig work such as a
ride-sharing service. Both types of entrepreneurial opportunities were seen as
flexible and offering the ability to earn supplemental income.
Flexibility and income potential are certainly at the core
of Sharing Services’ direct-selling opportunity. SHRG offers a line of
proprietary health and wellness products that are shared by a growing
international network of home-based entrepreneurs, or Elepreneurs. The company
provides basic and advanced programs for both new and experienced
entrepreneurs.
SHRG’s impressive independent sales force follows the
company’s Blue Ocean selling strategy—an approach encouraging Elepreneurs to
stop competing and instead focus on new markets and leads. In accordance with
this strategy, Elepreneurs are taught that, rather than competing directly in a
competitive, direct-selling market, they should focus on making competitors
irrelevant and succeeding in an uncontested marketplace.
To help its sales force succeed in that strategy and enjoy
flexibility and potential supplemental income, SHRG encourages its Elepreneurs
to use the interactive, video-based VERB sales-marketing platform developed by
Verb Technology Company Inc. The app utilizes proprietary, interactive
video-data collection and analysis technology and provides next-generation
customer-relationship-management, lead-generation, and video-marketing software
applications.
Headquartered out of a 10,000-square-foot facility in Plano,
Texas, SHRG has planned for future expansion. Customer-service facilities,
operations and training rooms, and a video-production suite are currently
available onsite with room for growth in each area. In addition, SHRG is
looking forward to international expansion.
