Door to door sales – often called direct selling – has shown strong growth in
recent years in Brazil, one of the largest global markets both in terms of direct
selling and Beauty and Personal Care. Moreover, the strong growth in door to
door sales compared with physical retail stores has caught the attention of new
entrants. Considering direct selling as a commercialization system of consumer
goods and services outside a physical shop, based on the direct contact between
buyers and sellers, personal relationships appear to be a decisive aspect for the
final purchase. However, companies that adopt this type of sales strategy, mostly
have difficulty in the management and control of the relationship between
representatives and consumers. Therefore, the knowledge of the characteristics
and attitudes of these representatives, who act independently, is essential. Based
on this concept, the study focuses on a exploratory research aiming to understand
the profile of the sales representatives of a company that adopted a door to door
sales system and to evaluate the relationship between representatives profile and
attitudes and their performance. To conduct the survey a sample of representatives
of the leading company in the direct selling market, as well as in the Beauty and
Personal Care industry in Brazil, Natura, was selected. The study provides some
indicators that may be useful to future researchers on the subject, particularly in
Brazil.
