abc7.com | 8/12/2009 Between the economy and unemployment, more people are taking the direct approach. Direct sales translate into selling products to customers without having a retail store and the large inventory that goes with it. And while the potential for big profits are there, so are some pitfalls if you don't do your homework.When Shannon Bambara was laid off earlier this year, she polished her silver and her sales pitch. She became a direct seller with a jewelry company called Silpada Designs, selling their products at house parties, then taking a cut of the proceeds. "An average Silpada party retails about $950, which means I take home 30 percent of that, which would be around $285. And typically, that's only in a two-hour period," Bambara said. History has shown that in bad economic times, more and more turn to home parties as a way to fill in the income void. |

Npros.com | 4/26/2009 Marilyn Mayer launched her Silpada Designs sales business on Jan. 2, following a year that served up a series of blows.Within five months in 2008, her mother and sister-in-law died. She was told that her job in special education was being eliminated and that she would be reassigned. A few months later, her father died after a massive stroke. In December, her school district placed her on unpaid leave. “I was devastated,” Mayer said. “I felt hopeless. I’m thinking, ‘I’m 54 years old, and I’m a loser.’ ” Mayer’s daughter invited her to a Silpada party, and she resisted, not wanting to spend any money and not feeling at all social. But her daughter insisted. Mayer was glad she went. She visited with friends she hadn’t seen in a while. And she loved that the representative was “deliriously happy.” “I decided right then and there, I’m going to do this,” Mayer said. On Tuesday, Kathy Suarez of Lee’s Summit hosted a Silpada party for co-workers and neighbors. They gathered around the kitchen table to pick up and try on the jewelry. Mayer wore a dozen pieces herself, including a pair of hammered silver earrings. “These are my best-selling earrings,” she said. “Everybody loves them.” “I’m not making the salary I was making at the school district,” she said, “but then when I look at the money per hour, I was never making $100 an hour as a teacher."

Silpada Jewelry in the Gazette |
Npros.com | 4/2/2007 Silpada Designs received mention in this article in The Gazette:Few Colorado Springs residents had heard of Silpada jewelry four years ago when Sarah Sperber became an independent sales rep for the company. “It didn’t have the name recognition of Mary Kay or The Pampered Chef,” she said. So Sperber joined local networking groups and started talking up the line of handcrafted sterling-silver jewelry. And people started getting the word, she said. Sperber has grown from a sole operator to having 125 representatives working for her. “Word of mouth is about building relationships and trust. When someone speaks highly about your company and refers you, that speaks millions,” she said.
