Making a career in direct sales also means having the opportunity to rapidly acquire new skills.
Being an independent direct seller brings a lot more perks: in addition to being able to autonomously manage your workflow and earning money according to your efforts, you also have the opportunity to recruit, train and manage your own team. Soft Paris’ Happiness Advisors are constantly supported in order to overcome adversities and professionally evolve.
That’s Gwenaelle’s case, who initially doubted her potential but is now satisfied with her new role.
Becoming a Soft Paris’ leader is possible, it’s only a matter of willpower.
Soft Paris is glad to show you an identikit of this Advisor.

Why did you embark in direct sale with Soft Paris?
It wasn’t something that I planned. I participated in a Soft Paris
(Ed: a naughty products’ direct sale) at a friend’s place and I really loved it, the atmosphere, the products, the attitude… I took few days to think it through and then I threw myself into it. I believe I felt the need to discover something new and challenge myself.
-
Did your job as a direct seller helped you in gaining self-confidence?
Yes, of course! It took a while but I learned how to trust myself more and more. I owe it to Soft Paris and to everything it represents. As a woman, I earned a lot of self-confidence and I rolled up my sleeves as never before. Little by little I started accepting challenges like becoming a leader, which I completed in one year and an half.
-
What was your trigger? The driving force that helped you overcome this obstacle?
That’s a very good question. When I started working for Soft Paris I told myself: “being a leader is not my thing”.
Soft Paris’ 2015 National Day was my trigger. That’s the day the whole world awaits and everybody would want it to never end. Seeing all those awarded Advisors along with that atmosphere is super motivating.
My main driving forces are my leader, who is always there for us, helps me a lot, listen to me and pushes me to do my best. Laure, my zone manager, is extremely important too: thanks to her advice, pep talks and corrections… and let’s not forget my team which is very helpful per se.
-
You recruited 5 Advisors in less than one month, that’s impressive! What is that motivates you the most?
I just wanted to become a leader so I worked very hard to reach my objective. And it was easier than I thought! Once, I arrived at a Soft Party telling myself “you’re gonna go home with a recruitment interview in the bag”. And that’s exactly what happened.
-
Did you discover a vocation thanks to Soft Paris?
Yes, surely Soft Paris’ was not a universe or a job towards which I would have gone of my own accord. But, after all, I believe it suits me perfectly.
-
Is there any way you still want to change yourself?
I want to become even more self-confident, because I am convinced I can go even further. So I should never stop believing in myself!
