Build It Big: 101 Insider Secrets from Top Direct Selling Experts

Description

Millions of people around the world are involved in direct selling. There are 12 million in the United States alone! Almost 74 percent of direct sellers are women. An estimated 46 million people in the world are involved in direct selling, according to the Direct Selling Association . In less than ten years this number is expected to grow to an unbelievable 200 million! With more people looking for careers that offer independence, flexibility, and tremendous income potential, this book offers a one-stop source of nuts-and-bolts advice, insights, and practical sales skills. Build It Big: 101 Insider Secrets from Top Direct Selling Experts addresses the three most popular models of direct selling: * network marketing (e.g., Amway ) * party planning (e.g., Pampered Chef ) * person-to-person (e.g., Guardian Life Insurance ) The training that many of these companies offer is limited and typically covers only product features and benefits, basic sales techniques, recruitment, and order processing. Through extensive research, the Direct Selling Women's Alliance (DSWA) has identified four crucial ""life skills"" that often are neglected or omitted from a company's training and support program: * Financial and tax guidance. * Coaching and leadership skills development. * Business management and technology training. * Daily success practices and implementation. Build It Big unveils the methods and approaches in developing these skills that, DSWA believes, are the true linchpins of growth and long-term sales stability. The disciplined approach and real-life insights from some of the most successful and talented people in the direct selling business will have broad appeal to rookies and veterans alike, especially for people who are opting for direct selling for part-time work, extra income, and the autonomy it offers. Review: Wonderful inspiration - I was at my first Pampered Chef conference a few years back. An out of state team member had it on hand on was discussing it with our director. Wasn't being nosy, but couldn't help to over hear some of the things they were discussing. The book sounded interesting, I glanced at it for a few, but not long enough to get anything out of it. What I did glance did not have much interest to me at all. I took a chance and ordered it when I got home. I LOVED it. I started reading it and marking with my pencil all things I found helpful. Got tired of writing and statered marking helpful sections/pages with those skinny post it note tags. I have a rainbow growing out of my book. Not everything in there was for me, but what was, and still is, is very helpful. You have the advice from tons of people in this field, not just one author. I don't even think you need to be in a jam or a new consultant, to purchase this book, people learn something new all the time, even the more seasoned consultants. Review: Great book! - I didn't even finish reading it but I know it is very inspirational and I just love it. It will change your home based business. This book is a must read. It hit everything right on target. I definitley reccommend this book!
