Direct Selling Education For Companies

July 22, 2017 By admin Leave a Comment

direct selling edgeIn the summer of 2011, I approached direct selling attorney Kevin Thompson with an idea to develop with me a conference for new and young direct selling companies.

We would build a team of direct selling professionals, each a top expert in his or her subject area. The faculty members would teach the attendees, giving them action steps they can take when they return home to build and grow their network marketing and party plan direct selling companies faster.

Kevin said to be successful, you need to have an edge and that is how the Direct Selling Edge Conference came to be named.

At our third conference, one attendee observed, “This is not just a conference. It is a school for companies.” He was absolutely correct.

Geared for both new and established companies, the Direct Selling Edge Conference provides a unique 2-day learning experience at a great value.  Tickets are only $200 each.

  • “The price of this event is a bargain. I have paid thousands of dollars more to attend conferences that were less informative, less instructive, and less friendly. The information shared, the contacts gained, and the friendships formed with other people in the industry are priceless.” – Jonathan M.
  • “What a wonderful two days! So many things I hadn’t thought of and the things I thought we were “good” on turned into my biggest eye-openers.” – Ty F.
  • “We have been in business for a few years. This conference is a must not just for startups. The quality and knowledge of this conference’s speakers are simply amazing. It blew my expectations! I loved it so much and it is so informative that next time I’m planning to send my CFO, my Executive Assistant, and my Customer Service Manager.” – Laura B.

Our 18th Direct Selling Edge Conference will be held on October 2-3, 2017 in Franklin (near Nashville), Tennessee. The venue is the Drury Plaza Hotel in Franklin, a fabulous hotel with many free amenities for all guests.

Book your tickets now.  Also, don’t forget to reserve your hotel room at our group rate of $149 per night while our group rate is still available.

Yes or No?

If you could learn information to make better business decisions and avoid making mistakes, and as a result, you will build or grow your direct selling company faster, would you invest two days of your time to learn this information that will help you for many years?

If, like me, your answer is “yes”, register today to attend the Direct Selling Edge Conference.

  • “I came to this conference two years later than I should have. Had I come two years earlier, I would have saved over $100,000 AND two years.”  Tom B.

Don’t wait.  Calendar the dates of October 2-3 for you to be in Franklin, TN.  Book your tickets and flights now.  Attend yourself or bring members of your team with you.

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. 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, 2014, and 2018, Jay gave presentations on compensation plans, recognition, 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.

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.
