Network Marketing Business Tips & Trends

Direct Sales, Multi-level Marketing, Network Marketing, whatever you would like to call it...I have gathered these business tips over the years and believe they are some of the best and most effective that I have found.

I worked in Corporate America for almost 30 years and have been in network marketing for the past3 & ½ years.  I must admit that both can be extremely challenging industries but have found tremendous reward in both fields.  I do appreciate the flexibility and independence that direct sales offers as well as know that those challenges and frustrations are for my benefit not the "companies".

With only being in network marketing for a short time, I found out rather quickly what I like and dislike about this business. 

I jumped in with both feet when I joined my first company and today I can look back at that and laugh at my ignorance.  After that short lived experience, I then went for the "ground floor opportunity" that we all have heard time and time again. Once again, I should of done my homework!  I spent a great deal of time helping to establish the foundation for that new company and after 2 & 1/2 years I wasn't making enough money to even fill up my SUV! (Which I had to buy to haul around all the inventory I was required to purchase so that I could then sell for them).

So I finally stopped the madness, took a deep breath and did a tremendous amount of research before I decided on my 3rd and final adventure. They always say "3rd times a charm"...I absolutely am a believer!

Thank goodness there are still a few companies out there that are not only working towards their success but also towards the success of their representatives.

This article is not meant to try and sell you something.  I wanted only to share with you my work experience so you are able to appreciate my selection of business tips and take from them what you need.
