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! You can read the full story of how Direct Sidekick got started at the link below. https://directsidekick.com/our-story/

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?
