Start Here: Our Book For New And Young Companies

Your greatest challenge is that you don’t know what you don’t know. We can help you with that.

In addition to consulting with companies in the USA and around the world to build and improve their direct selling businesses, Sylvina offers an insightful 250-page “how-to” book for new and young MLM and party plan companies. First published in 2008, in 2021 it is available in its 5th edition.

“The best startup manual for network marketing and party plans, period! Jay covers all of the pertinent details. – Kevin Thompson, MLM Attorney”

Why This Book Is Important To You

Starting and growing a direct selling company is complicated.  Do you know everything you need to know?

To be successful on your journey, you need to know what to do.  Each chapter of Start Here will give you knowledge and direction, ask you thought-provoking questions to help you to make key business decisions, provide examples, and tell you what to do next.

The Sylvina Difference

  • Direct Selling Experts
    Since 1986, we have worked with hundreds of direct selling, network marketing, and party plan businesses of all shapes and sizes, from a one-man-band with a great idea to multinational corporations with more than $1 billion in annual revenues.
  • From Seed to Mighty Oak
    We have provided consulting services to early-stage startups, young companies, and established businesses in the USA and other countries throughout the globe.
  • Freedom of Choice
    Instead of promoting a “one-size-fits-all” package of consulting services, we offer our clients the freedom to select only the services they decide are needed.
  • Developer or Advisor
    You decide the extent of our role in helping you. We can develop the deliverables that you need, or we can serve as an expert advisor by reviewing and improving your materials.
  • Fast Responders
    We respond to telephone calls, text messages, and emails very quickly. You won’t wait days to hear back from us.
  • Flexibility
    We work with clients with budgets of all sizes.

  • Forest and Trees
    We focus on both the big picture and the details. Both are important.
  • No Exclusive Alliances
    We don’t steer clients exclusively to one software provider or to one direct selling attorney. We can suggest to you multiple sources of support in many areas, none of which compensate us for introductions.
  • Optional In-Person Meetings
    While we meet in person with our clients from time to time, the bulk of work is performed in our offices and we communicate regularly by telephone and email.
  • Stay Home
    We don’t require that clients travel to visit with us in our offices. When meeting in person is requested, our president Jay Leisner travels to the client’s location so that the entire client’s team can attend and participate. Our in-person meetings with clients permit the largest client participation at the lowest cost.
  • Happy Clients
    Many of our clients have written us letters to express their appreciation for our good work.  Others give us shorter words of praise.
