Jay Leisner, President jay {at} sylvina.com
Jay Leisner, the president of Sylvina Consulting, is a top compensation plan and direct selling expert, a trusted adviser to new and established network marketing and party plan companies.
For more than 30 years, Jay has enjoyed assessing and improving party plan and network marketing companies across the globe.
In 1986, Jay began his career in direct selling by working for a major direct selling software provider. First as a software developer and later as a project leader and a business analyst, Jay worked closely with new and established network marketing and party direct selling companies to provide them with software solutions to meet their unique requirements.
Jay contributed in many ways to the success of large implementation projects for many companies, including Creative Memories, Jafra Cosmetics, NuSkin, Nutrition for Life, NSA, Shaklee, and Usana. Jay also worked with dozens of smaller companies to assist each of them in various capacities to provide them with the systems they needed to help their businesses to grow faster.
Along the way while working with them, he learned the secrets of successful direct selling companies and the challenges faced by them. In true entrepreneurial spirit, Jay’s decision in 1999 to start Sylvina Consulting as a direct selling consulting company was driven by what he saw was a need for answers, advice, and solutions.
In 2004, 2006, 2009, and 2014, Jay gave presentations on compensation plans and field leadership development at conferences held by the US Direct Selling Association.
He traveled to South Africa in 2015, 2016, and 2017 to conduct workshops on compensation plan design and recognition programs for member companies of the South African Direct Selling Association.
In 2017, Jay spoke at the Canadian Direct Sellers Association Meeting on the importance of recognition and in 2018, Jay led a workshop on recognition at the Annual Meeting of the USA Direct Selling Association.
More than just a compensation plan expert, Jay is exceptionally skilled at advising new and established companies on business strategies. Before offering advice or solutions, he asks important questions to understand each client’s specific concerns and goals.
