The Direct Selling Association has just approved the application for YTB as a member of it’s prestigious organization.

DSA is the national trade association representing companies that manufacture and sell products and services sold directly to consumers, primarily through an independent contractor sales force. It is estimated that 14.1 Million Americans participate in a Direct Sales Organization of some type and the numbers are increasing rapidly each year. Currently, membership has been limited to only 216 organizations out of the thousands of companies who participate in Direct Sales.

The mission of the DSA is ‘to protect, serve and promote the effectiveness of member companies and the independent business people they represent. To ensure that the marketing by member companies of products and/or the direct sales opportunity is conducted with the highest level of business ethics and service to consumers.’ Each DSA member company pledges to abide by the Code of Ethics’ standards and procedures as a condition of admission and continuing membership in DSA. This Code of Ethics speaks to both the consumer and the seller, and ensures that member companies will make no statements or promises that might mislead either consumers or prospective sales people.

The DSA Code of Ethics expressly prohibits pyramid schemes, deceptive or unlawful consumer or recruiting practices, misrepresentation of earning or sales potential, inventory loading and unreasonable entrance fees.

All applications take well over a year to complete, and during this time, the marketing and business plans of YTB were reviewed to ensure compliance with all provisions of DSA’s Code of Ethics.
