It’s Not Too Late – The Direct Selling Edge Conference

January 7, 2014 By admin Leave a Comment

A Wise Decision

Your time and money are valuable, so spend them wisely.

If you could trade only two days of your time for information that will help your business for years, would you do it?

I believe you would.  That is why you should spend two days at the Direct Selling Edge Conference on January 23 and 24, 2014.  It’s not too late to come.

What Will I Learn?

Join Sylvina Consulting and other seasoned industry pros as we guide you through the critical elements of starting and operating a party plan or network marketing company.

Learn what you need to know to be successful. If your company is new to direct selling, or if you simply want a refresher course to give you information to improve your company, this conference is for you!

For tickets, click http://www.directsellingedge.com.

Day 1 Educational Topics

As an attendee, you’ll start at the beginning, covering what you should do as your first steps. You will learn the basics about compensation plans, gain a deep understanding of the laws applicable to direct selling companies, and discover nine things you need before acquiring MLM software. Then, you’ll take a break for lunch!

After your meal, you will learn what your representatives need to know to be the best salespeople for your products and income opportunity, and social media best practices.

The last topic of the first day is a second session on how to design your compensation plan.

For tickets, click http://www.directsellingedge.com.

Appointments With Speakers

At the end of each day, from 5 until 7 pm, you’ll have the opportunity to meet with conference speakers for 20-minute appointments at no additional cost. Add the four hours up and you’re easily walking away with over $1,000 worth of consultation.

Optional Thursday Networking Dinner

You’ll be hungry for fun and food, too, after your first information-packed day at the Direct Selling Edge Conference. That’s why we’ve scheduled an optional “Nashville At Night” dinner for all DS Edge attendees and speakers at Past Perfect in the heart of downtown’s red-hot So-Bro district.

After dinner, you’ll be virtually just steps from virtually every downtown Nashville venue.  Tickets for Nashville at Night are $50 per person which includes a great buffet dinner and transportation to/from Nashville.

Day 2 Educational Topics

In the morning, we will welcome you back to the DS Edge Conference with sessions on Founder Programs, Pilot Programs, Launches, and How To Legally Raise Capital.

After the morning break, you will learn the importance of Distributor Compliance and how to build your corporate team.

Just before lunch, you will participate in your pick of four round table discussions (illegal compensation plans, how to be a good software client, advertising, and starter kits).

And after your meal, our tax expert will inform you of the federal, state, and local tax obligations of direct selling companies, and you’ll learn how to find, attract, recruit and retain your first independent representatives.

Next, our speakers will form a panel at the front of the room. This is a great opportunity for you to get fast answers to your questions on any of the topics presented thus far, or any other areas of interest. Submit your questions in writing. We’ll answer as many as we can for you.

Then, you’ll learn ten specific easy-to-implement strategies to keep your MLM or party plan company safe from federal and state regulators.

Secrets are meant to be shared. That’s why the last topic of the day is “20 Secrets of Successful Direct Selling Companies.”

More Networking

There will be plenty of time for networking, too! Use breaks throughout the conference to discuss your company’s needs with us and other expert presenters. Take advantage of your time in Franklin to connect with other individuals whose companies are similar to yours. These relationships, as much as the education, will provide your company with what it needs to gain speed to become a functioning and profitable enterprise.

Whether you need to get your company up and running, or you just want to review the basic elements to make adjustments to your company, you won’t want to miss this chance to get a direct selling education in January!

Where is the Conference?

The Direct Selling Edge Conference will be held in Franklin, Tennessee (just 20 miles from Nashville) at the Drury Plaza Hotel Franklin on Thursday and Friday, January 23 and 24, 2014.

Built in 2012, the new 338-room hotel offers a daily free hot breakfast, free soda and popcorn, free food at 5:30 pm, free local and long-distance calls, free parking, and a microwave and refrigerator in every room.

Testimonials

Check out below what people have said about the Direct Selling Edge Conference:

Definitely worth the money. As a matter of fact, after 30 minutes, I think I got my money’s worth. I found out that my business plan was not legal and by the end of this, I’ve learned all the tools and information to make this work. It’s a really good program. Zach Taylor

Thank you for the most crucial information supporting my Party Plan Business. This two-day class was exactly what I needed! Great job by everyone! Absolutely every aspect of my business was covered. Thank you again. Cheryl Wollrab

I was amazed at the information. I thought it was going to be a broad stroke event to get you with different vendors. I was very surprised to see all of the targeted topics, and how in-depth they went into discussing very important issues, for anyone who is considering getting into the MLM business as a startup company. Mike Duke

It’s been a very good conference really on the nuts and bolts of trying to figure out how to turn a company into an MLM. I think these people are very talented and knowledgeable and will really help you to build your business and help you to move forward. Susan Averett

Jay, Kevin, and all other speakers provided us with great information, in-depth, thorough, and painted a perfect picture for us so that we have a good sense of what we’re getting into. I want to thank all of them for their time, their effort, and for providing myself and my wife with the information that we need to go forward with our company and make it grow. Thanks a lot. Stanley Chang

As a former distributor, a board member for a large network marketing company, and now an owner of a network marketing company myself, this conference has been extremely helpful. Great speakers, great content, A to Z, everything that you need to know as a startup. Brad Doyle

Attending the DS Edge was different from any other MLM conference I had been to before. I’ve been to other conferences, They try to sell you services, they do give you information, but the difference with this one was we actually left with actual steps, tasks we can take, things we can get done to make sure we are successful, so I highly recommend it.  It was a great use of time.  Bethanie Nonami
