Overview

THEY WON THEIR FINANCIAL FREEDOM…AND YOU CAN TOO!

Neil and Dana Phillips were both working in education when they started doing a little direct selling on the side, almost 30 years ago. Their business quickly grew, and soon their income tax bill was more than Neil had earned as a tenured university professor! Now, this inspiring husband-and-wife team shares their award-winning expertise to help you claim the personal prosperity you deserve in DIRECT SELLING 101.

More success-minded Americans than ever before are growing their fortunes as independent agents for such respected direct selling organizations as Princess House, Tupperware and Mary Kay. As Neil and Dana introduce you to the exciting world of direct selling, you'll find out why over 12 million Americans are now involved in this $30 billion industry. You'll learn the essentials of starting and building a direct selling business, from recruiting new customers and sales team members to planning parties and closing the sale. You'll also explore some of the common misconceptions about direct selling, and find out how to choose a direct selling company that fits your needs and interests. And you'll benefit from Neil and Dana's industry-leading insights into a variety of elements important to any entrepreneur, including:

* staying focused
* managing your time
* motivating others
* setting goals
* kick-starting your creativity
* and much more!

Whether you're new to the field or expanding your current efforts, DIRECT SELLING 101 will tell you why this business has doubled in size in the last ten years—and how you can turn that explosive growth into your own financial security!

not that good

  • Book Rating: 1/5

Kudos. This is outdated material, nothing about selling, title very misleading. they're not that good when it comes to selling or presenting.

A big miss for anyone not selling Tupperware

Written by Carolyn Shelby on February 5th, 2008

  • Book Rating: 1/5

The title of this book promised much more than it provided. Direct Selling 101 sounds like it's a book on multiple direct selling techniques. Instead, it's targeted specifically for housewives looking to make some spare pin money by holding Tupperware parties. If you aren't interested in "dating" parties, and are looking for more hard knowledge about direct selling on a full time basis, this book will be a total bust.

Direct Selling 101

  • Book Rating: 1/5

This book is for people just entering the field of network marketing selling (Amway, Skin Care business etc...). Terrible resource for a true business sales professional. Dated material and very slow moving.

Direct Selling 101

  • Book Rating: 2/5

Well intended but "dated"...If you're into making money at "Parties" this is the series for you..6 CD's could be reduced to about 3...nothing was mentioned about using the Web,online strategies or any technology for that matter...This is best suited to your grandmother's Direct selling business.
