When Should I Ask A Direct Selling Business Consultant For Help?

February 3, 2023 By admin Leave a Comment

You have put a lot of time, money, and energy into your direct selling, network marketing, referral marketing, party plan, or social selling company. It’s your baby, but it’s not always easy to be a good parent of your company.

You may be wondering when is it time to ask a direct selling business consultant for help. If so, I have a list for you. Here is when you should get help:

At The Very Beginning

When you are just getting started in building your company or even if you are just at the idea stage, talking with a qualified direct selling business consultant will help you to make the right decisions now and in the future.  Even more important, you will also avoid making big mistakes.

When You Are Hesitating

If you are questioning whether you are on the right track, this is another good time to ask for help.  You’ll either learn you’re in good shape or you’re not.  You won’t need to just hope or pray about it.  Either way, you’ll sleep better.

When You Are Planning

If you are working on a business plan or a business concept document, getting the eyes of an experienced direct selling consultant to look over what you’re thinking is a wise idea.  Remember, it’s less expensive to fix a plan than a business.

During Compensation Plan Development

You won’t know if your current or proposed compensation plan is good unless you have it designed or reviewed by a compensation plan expert.  If you have even a small concern over the viability of your compensation plan, get a second opinion.

Before You Launch

Have you had your business professionally reviewed?  If not, before you launch is the last best time to get help.  After you launch, correcting your mistakes may be like fixing a train while it’s rolling down the track.  It can be done later, but it may be hazardous work.

When You Are Questioning Everything

If you are at the point where everything isn’t going as smoothly as you planned, and you can’t figure out what to do to fix the problems, don’t be an island. Get help by engaging a qualified direct selling consultant.

When You Want To Be Successful

The smartest people in the world ask for help from even smarter people.  When I don’t know the answer, I ask an expert.  You should, too.  It’s complicated building a direct selling company.  If you want to increase your chances for success, bend the ear of a direct selling business consultant.

When You Want Your Business To Grow Faster

If your business isn’t growing fast enough, you need to do something.  The question is what, and the answer isn’t just one thing.  Do you know what to do?  Most people don’t.  Have your business professionally reviewed to find out what to do.  Don’t just ready, fire… then aim!

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.
