Direct Sidekick

Direct Sidekick Simple to use software to grow your direct sales business. No more confusing spreadsheets! Our story began like many other companies.

Free 14 day trail: https://directsidekick.com/free-direct-sales-training-course/ We needed something to use ourselves! We tried many things that just didn’t work the way we were expecting and finally decided to build it ourselves. We needed a better way to track income and expenses. We needed a better way to track and manage inventory. We needed a better way to onboard new team members and manage customer follow-ups. We needed something to save us time!

We're excited to announce our brand new 2-sided, 2-level, 2-tiered referral program!

It sounds complicated, but it's really simple (more below).

Our goal at Direct Sidekick is to help as many direct sellers succeed in their businesses.

Whether it's helping you keep more of your income with our accounting program or sell more with our Sales Pages and automated customer follow-up (preferably both!).

By referring others to Direct Sidekick, you'll earn a commission (cash payment, not product credit).

If a referral uses your referral code, they receive $10 off their first payment, whether you're on level 1 or level 2.

For the first 5 referrals (level 1), you'll earn $10 per new subscriber.
After you've referred 5 new subscribers, you'll level up to level 2.

Once in level two, you earn 20% recurring commissions for your tier 1 referrals (those you directly refer) AND 10% on your tier 2 referrals (those referred by your tier 1 referrals).

This is earned by you for as long as the referral continues to subscribe to Direct Sidekick!

The more you refer and the more your referrals refer, the larger your monthly income grows!

Are you interested in adding another income stream?

Referring others to Direct Sidekick is as simple as sharing your referral link and telling them why you love using it. You can find your link or set up a new link by clicking on Refer & Earn in the left-side menu.

Who do you know who could use Direct Sidekick?

How do we help?

If you have a team or any group interested in learning more about Direct Sidekick or how to use Direct Sidekick, we will host a webinar with you. You invite whoever you think could use Direct Sidekick, and during the webinar and in the follow-up email, we'll post your link and tell them to use it when signing up to receive $10 off.

We'll train your team on how to get the most out of Direct Sidekick and make it easy for them.

Please comment if you have questions or would like to schedule a webinar.

✅Video blocks
✅Image blocks
✅Countdown timer blocks
✅All product blocks
✅Custom product blocks

Give your team the tools they need to succeed. You can now clone and share your Sales Pages with them!

This is great for when you run a sale for new product launches, or 12 Days of Christmas sales (just a couple of examples).

Step 1: Click the sharing button in your Sales Page.
Step 2: Send the link to your team.
Step 3: Your team member can edit the Sales Page and make it their own. This does not affect your page.

That's it!

Watch the quick video here to see how to share your Sales Pages:

Follow our 3-step process to be tax-ready all the time!

1) Verify your transactions and categories once per month. Transactions are automatically imported and categorized, but it's best to review.

2) When you purchase on-hand inventory, enter that right after you place the order with your company.

3) When you sell from inventory, enter an Invoice right then. Adjustments ... right then.

Unfortunately, sometimes things happen at vendor events where we do an inventory count after the event and find items missing.

A question we receive a lot is can I deduct non-sellable, stolen, or damaged products?
