New Sylvina Website!
Thursday, April 30th, 2009Ask Victoria: Should I Be in the Trenches?
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009When I consult with direct selling businesses and they tell me that their recruiting and sales are down, the first questions I ask are, “Have you gone to a party with any consultants lately?” and “Have you scheduled any parties yourself?”
I am amazed at how often I hear an owner say, “No.” To me, this is a clear indication that the owner is not in touch with the field. It is paramount in this economy that we find out what consultants are up against.
Good Communication
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009Communication with the field is one of many vital ingredients in the success formula for direct selling companies.
It should start within minutes of receipt of a new representative’s application. An automated email from your company should be sent confirming acceptance of the application, along with some words of thanks and excitement.
In the starter kit, there is another opportunity to communicate with the representative and make a good first impression. Even better, you have the opportunity to reduce the percentage of unopened kits by placing words of encourage, welcoming the new representative, on the outside of the box!
Direct Selling - The Big Event
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009Where can you experience…
- Presentations for direct selling companies on sales, recruiting, field leadership and financial management?
- Keynote speakers Suze Orman, Maya Angelou, Andrea Jung and John Maxwell?
- An exhibit hall with 140 suppliers to the direct selling industry?
All of these and more will be found at the largest event of the year for direct selling companies at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland from Sunday evening, May 31, 2009 through Tuesday, June 02, 2009.
It’s the Annual Meeting of the Direct Selling Association, also known as the DSA.
The DSA is a trade organization for direct selling companies. Based in Washington, D.C., its primary function is lobbying federal and state governments on behalf of its members. Its secondary purpose is education.
The DSA has always brought outstanding speakers and exciting breakout sessions to its annual meeting and this year is no exception. This extraordinary meeting will educate and inform you on strategies that will help your company become a powerful economic force. It will give you insight on how the economy is impacting business today.
Find out what you need to do to remain competitive and discover what the future of direct selling holds for your company, your reps in the field and their customers.
We invite you to join Sylvina Consulting and hundreds of your direct selling peers. During exhibit hall hours, we’ll be at booth #304. We hope to see you at the meeting!
If your company is not yet a DSA member, we can offer you a special invitation that will save you money.
