I think there are still direct sales businesses that exist and use home parties as a sales technique, especially those selling makeup. I just try really hard not to attend them.

I was recruited into Amway back in the early 80s and actually received a lot of valid sales training in the process. Of course, they have a different name these days, and I don't recall what it is.

But one of my Facebook friends is always talking about her Jafra business, and I think that is a direct sales company, though I don't know if they have parties.

Here's a list of the top 5 direct sales makeup companies.

And here's a website that ranks the home party business companies.

So I guess they DO EXIST!
