What do past attendees say about this 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 targetted topics, and how in-depth they went into discussing very important issues, for anyone 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, and they do give you information, but the difference with this one was we actually left with actual steps, tasks we can take, and 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
  • Thank you for the excellent conference. We were both thrilled that our investment in time, money, and energy was not wasted. This conference was full of critical details that are going to help us with the success of our venture. Initially, I was a bit skeptical considering the other conference we attended really offered no nuts and bolts. This conference gave a great amount of detail. Conferences like this are difficult in that your emotions and up and down the entire time between I can do this and this is impossible. It was a huge relief to find out that we were not alone and that most of us all face the same emotions. I cannot thank you enough for your honesty and candor. Terry Wallen
  • The quality of the presenters was top-notch. Every session was valuable and we learned an enormous amount in just two short days. I would recommend this conference to anyone starting a direct selling business. We are at the very early stages of building our business and found this conference a huge help in setting out critical paths and priority tasks. Cathy O’Donovan
