Victorville Daily Press:
Joanie Wilcox of Hesperia started selling PartyLite candles nine years ago. “The economy wasn’t exactly like it is now, but it wasn’t booming either,” Wilcox said.
Still, she says, she quickly started making money.
“It surprised me because I’d never done sales in my whole entire life,” she said. “But I believe in the products.”
PartyLite is one of the many direct selling businesses built around in-home parties, which most consultants refer to as “shows.” The sales consultant holds the show at the home of a hostess, who invites her friends.
