When forging into a new business opportunity, people often find themselves wondering: “What legacy do I want to leave behind with this job?” All too often, these thoughts are dismissed—legacies are only for big trailblazers and C-suite executives, aren’t they?
Of course not!
No matter where your path leads, we each craft a legacy that will last long after we’re off enjoying our retirements. Which brings us back to that question: What’s your legacy going to be?
While many Associates at USANA Health Sciences may have initially joined as a way to make a little money on the side while selling products they love, the truth is each one of our Associates crafts a lasting impact through their work. Not only do they make a difference in their immediate community with their dedication to health and wellness, but they contribute to a global culture of helping people live their healthiest lives.
Everyday Changes with Products That Work
USANA’s products promote health and wellness from the inside out. With science-based research, everything they create supports a healthy lifestyle, making the people who use them feel better than ever.
Chances are you sell USANA products because you know they work—we’re sure you’ve got a set of favorites you swear by! So you know you’re selling a quality product that really helps.
As you sell products, you’re not just giving people a new sunscreen or supplement. You’re also paving the way for them to make a new path for themselves, with a healthier outlook on life that will leave a lasting imprint on their own wellness.
Global Good Fueled by Associates
Direct sales as a business model has a long history of doing good beyond mere business. A good number of businesses actually have their roots in philanthropy, with companies using product sales to fund charitable works around the world.
Many direct sales companies use their reach to bring light to areas that need more awareness, such as Mary Kay supporting women’s rights. On occasion, their products can even be directly related by social awareness, like Damsel In Defense’s line of defense tools for women and ENJO’s sustainable cleaning supplies.
USANA brings their dedication to health and wellness to the global stage by working to combat hunger and malnutrition. The company’s charitable arm, The USANA Foundation, works hard to eradicate one of the most deadly epidemics in the world—hunger—and it’s only made possible through the help of Associates.
Between supporting their own contributions and rallying others into donating to the cause, USANA’s Associates are truly the lifeblood of their philanthropic work. And it’s thanks to Associates like you that USANA can do the good they want to do, and you’re the ones helping them build a legacy of fighting hunger and bringing health and wellness to those who need it most.
The Legacy of YOU
Beyond USANA, what does your legacy in direct sales look like? Believe it or not, a sales legacy doesn’t have to look like “The Wolf of Wall Street” with big numbers, a decadent lifestyle, and a blockbuster movie on top of it.
Instead, think back to the best experience you’ve had in retail or another sales-based environment where you were the customer. You can probably remember someone who helped you, because the experience was so good and left a lasting impression. And because of that, that person has left behind a legacy of excellence. A true legacy lies in the connections you make and how you interact with the world around you.
When you work in direct sales, you can take those connections a step further by personally reaching out to people within your own community and creating a bigger impact among the people you see every day. USANA’s Associates are far more than salespeople—they’re often leaders in their community, acting as an inspiration to those around them when it comes to healthy living and taking care of their bodies and minds.
Direct sales can be so much more than just a fun way to meet people and earn a little extra money on the side—it can be the way you make your mark in the world. You can be truly proud of the impact you’re making with the quality products you sell and the way you engage with those around you.
When you take a good look at all the good work that can be done as a USANA Associate, both around the world and in your own back yard, it’s clear you can leave a legacy worth sharing as you change the lives of those around you. So now’s the time to ask yourself this: What will my legacy as a USANA Associate be?
