The human being is capital “... and the human being is our capital.
Placing the human being in the centre of the commercial act - be it the wishes of the consumer or the competence of the professionals of Direct Selling – has always been and remains, more than ever, the first vocation of the FVD.
Improvement of the company’s performance, creation of employment, professional training, ethics and deontology... the “Fédération de la Vente Directe”, Direct Selling Association, acts in all these fields, in order to turn the human value into the first lever of competitiveness of the member companies:
- By proposing to the member companies a genuine guidance in their development strategies;
- By permanently acting towards the institutions and the politicians in order to improve the conditions of development for the companies of Direct Selling on the national and international markets;
- By developing training programs, communication tools intended to the Direct Selling persons;
- By imposing upon its adherents the respect of a Code of Ethics as well as a company deontology Code.
Whether you are a company manager, a member or future member of the FVD, a political person or civil servant, trainer, journalist, this ROAD BOOK is intended for you. In this Book you will find information on our distribution circuit, as well as testimonies of men and women, be it salesmen/women or company managers, who, one day, have chosen for this type of dynamic trade and who are now true spokespersons of Direct Selling.
Since the FVD’s creation, more than 40 years ago, the direct salespersons have become acknowledged experts, disposing of specific expertise, put to the service of innovating products of irreproachable quality, requested by demanding and loyal customers.
The traditional and industrial companies as well as the multinationals that trade their products through
Direct Selling, employ over 300.000 people in France.
Each and every one of them has found in the Direct Selling a channel of distribution that allows them to express their enthusiasm in order to reach their objectives.
Just like the mountain climber climbs the mountains, the parachutist throws himself into the air, the sprinter launches himself towards the finish... we all pursue the same objective: to carry off victories.. Jacques COSNEFROY, General Secretary of the French Direct Selling Association (FVD)
