RESOURCES — Frequently Asked Questions

I am a distributor of another Direct Selling Company. Is it a conflict of interest if I continue to sell for them and also am a Shure Pets Consultant?
That is acceptable. You may work for any other company (direct selling or not) and still distribute the Shure Pets product line as long as any business you conduct for any other company does not interfere with any of your Shure Pets business and vice versa. After you reach the level of Leader‚ it would be considered a conflict of interest to be working another direct sales business but you could still work at another non–direct sales company.

Noting the dynamic growth of both the Direct Sales and Pet Industries‚ he realized the potential of combining them to form a premier‚ leading direct selling company.
