As a senior consultant at Sylvina Consulting, each week I talk with many executives of party plan and MLM companies. I hear firsthand about a company’s successes and challenges. I love direct selling because it’s a people business.
Sometimes, a company has a specific issue or group of issues in which our help is requested. At other times, everything appears to be running fine, but that’s when I worry most.
Preventative maintenance is recommended for all automobiles. Measuring and adding air to tires extends their lives. Periodic oil changes extend the life of engines. If you waited until your engine seized up to change your oil, you would be too late!
Annual 40-point inspections can spot problems early and help avoid costly repairs.
Direct selling businesses need inspections, too.
The advice I give most often to established companies is not to wait until a crisis to enlist the skills of a consulting firm like ours to review, evaluate, and improve the performance of your business. To learn more, ask me about our annual business review consulting service!
