Are you working alongside 'slashers'?

Recent years have seen the rise of so-called "slashers" – people who pursue multiple careers at the same time. The trend is growing and is attributed to a desire for greater flexibility, creativity and financial stability in the workplace.

Direct selling has become one of the more popular options among slashers because it allows individuals to sell products directly to consumers without the need to operate a physical store or keep a large inventory. According to a report by the Direct Selling Association (DSA) in the United States, slashers play an important role in the direct selling industry. In 2019, the industry generated US$3.52 billion in sales in the US, of which 36% was attributed to slashers, the highest percentage among all direct sellers. The report also showed that the appeal of direct selling among slashers is growing, with 68% of those surveyed saying they consider direct selling as their primary or secondary source of income – an increase of 6% compared to the 2018 survey.

These data indicate that the direct selling industry is becoming increasingly attractive to slashers, providing the opportunity for people to pursue multiple interests, work according to their own schedule, and achieve a stable income based on hard work and a strong sales performance as they balance their various career pursuits.

What’s more, direct selling businesses typically provide training and support to their direct sellers, which benefits slashers who are seeking to enhance their skills and knowledge in different fields. Overall, direct selling is a good option for people who are interested in pursuing a creative and flexible lifestyle, providing opportunities to expand their skills and achieve a stable income.

According to data from the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations (WFDSA), the Asia-Pacific region is now the largest region for global direct selling, accounting for 42% of the market. This indicates that consumers in the Asia-Pacific region have a high level of acceptance and support for direct selling businesses. Amway Hong Kong offers a comprehensive training system and has witnessed numerous direct sellers achieving entrepreneurial success over the past 40 years.
