Direct Selling News Supplement In USA Today (9/24/11)
The Direct Selling News and USA Today put out a terrific endorsement of direct selling in the Friday paper. (09/24/11). I would recommend that all direct sellers get their hands on one or print out this short version of the Direct Selling News supplement that was featured in the USA Today this past week.
“Why Direct Selling Works”
The PDF flier linked above only includes the first article in the supplement. You can buy the full version of the supplement “Why Direct Selling Works” at the Direct Selling News website.The first article (included in the PDF) gives 7 reasons why everyone should be an entrepreneur.
Direct Selling Endorsed By Finance Experts
The article titled “From Wall Street To Main Street’ shares why finance experts are not only endorsing direct selling but buying and starting direct selling companies. When people like Warren Buffet (Pampered Chef ) and Suze Orman (Avon Finance Advisor) invest in direct selling, it adds a lot of credibility to your direct selling business.The Direct Selling News quoted Jim Cramer, Marketing Guru and Host of CNBC’s Mad Money, among others:
“When you’re selling something like supplements, the testimonials have to be real, presented in a one-on-one setting... These kinds of companies frankly have never gotten their due from Wall street.”
Robert Kiyosaki, Rich Dad, Poor Dad
The bottom line of the interview with Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad. is that after much investigation he recommends network marketing as a solid path to entrepreneurship and a viable income opportunity.Answering the question “What has most impressed you about the network marketing companies you have studied?” Robert said:
“In this industry, I have seen many people build others up so they can take control of their own lives and their future without worrying about being fired all the time, or downsized, or a victim of a changing economy. Network marketing is about turning people from employees to entrepreneurs.”With nearly 1 in 6 Americans living in poverty, according to a new Census Bureau report, this will show that direct selling is the only business model truly scalable enough to address unemployment and underemployment issues worldwide.
