[Music] Hello, what do we mean by meeting sales? Thank you for your question, Chantal, which highlights meeting sales. It is a form of direct sales, one of the three distribution channels alongside in- store sales and distance and mail order sales. [Music] Correspondence sales, also known as home sales. Direct sales are an important link in the economy, employing 700,000 people and generating a turnover of more than 4.5 billion euros. From renovations to home improvements, including lingerie, cosmetics, cooking and even jewelry, direct sales offer a range of products and services that are as diverse as they are varied. This is what Frédéric Billon, General Delegate of the Federation of Direct Sales, explains to us. For direct sales to take place, a seller and one or more buyers must be present outside of a location intended for marketing. This can be done in the form of a meeting. This is a personalized consulting approach that involves a demonstration in a real situation. a specialist who knows the product or service perfectly, proximity and friendliness are therefore at the heart of meeting sales. Indeed, the profession is based on the welcome by a host or a Hesse and is motivated by the idea of spending a good time with participants around the presentation of a product or service. This direct relationship between the seller and the customer allows a link to be created to offer personalized advice. It also requires offering quality products since in this type of sale, word of mouth is essential. It is important to know that home sales are governed by the Consumer Code, which allows the consumer to have certain rights, but then which ones? The Consumer Code provides in particular a right of withdrawal of 14 days from the day after receipt of the Goods or from the day after the conclusion of the contract. The products also benefit from a legal guarantee of conformity. In addition, no payment can be required by the seller before the expiry of a period of 7 days from the conclusion of a contract, with the exception of sales made within the framework of a meeting.
