The company prides itself in making women more comfortable and receptive to the idea of using personal defense products in conjunction with training in self defense.

Damsel in Defense Requirements

To begin as a Damsel Pro requires the purchase of a $199 Knight in Shining Armor start-up kit that includes one of each of the products, business cards, brochures and invitations. Damsel Pros earn 30 % of their own sales and earn commissions on their teams for 3 levels deep.

Damsel in Defense encourage Damsel Pros to present their products not only in home shows, but in the community. The company suggests presenting their products to real estate agents who must show homes to complete strangers.

This line of products is one-of-a-kind in direct sales companies and seems to be an exciting product to represent. As you read the description of this company, you may be very tempted to look into this further, especially if you're a woman. Women are attacked thousands of times per day, yet these products are really hard to come by. What an exciting way to arm our sisters, mothers, daughters, aunts, cousins and grandmothers with self defense products. Every woman should be armed.

If you've never represented a company as a direct selling professional because of the bad rap that sellers receive and because of a few bad apples, here's a few thoughts to think about before abandoning the idea altogether.
