I started selling Honey products part-time about two years ago, because I wanted an extra income.

I personally wear the jewellery myself – it’s the only way to market it. And it does boost your self-image when people compliment you.

My clients are fashionable women who have an eye for beautiful things, like to look good and who want to spend on things that are reasonably priced.

The best way I sell is to have client parties over the weekend or in the evenings. Many people work during the day so I have a cheese and wine evening or a weekend breakfast. I invite clients, they bring their friends along, we have fun and do lots of sales.

It has nothing to do with my full-time job as a customer relationship manager for an environmental services company.

Selling Honey Fashion Accessories has done a lot for me. I have many friends in the business. I’m doing a lot of training development, so there’s personal growth. I’ve networked with a lot of people, met different women at different stages of their lives, and shared successes.

Financially, it has made a huge difference. The first year I was able to redo my kitchen. And my family goes on holidays and getaways more often. For example, we went away to Swaziland for a long weekend. They are little luxuries that we otherwise couldn’t have.

You can achieve your dreams in the direct selling business as long as you’re consistent, disciplined and put in an effort. And because of the amount of recognition you get when you sell products, you feel good about yourself. I always get gift hampers, which boosts my confidence.
