Recommendation

Those starting in direct sales do not need to stumble in the dark, because so many others have lit the way: This book of tips and techniques from the Direct Selling Women’s Alliance (DSWA) offers lessons from dozens of experts in the field to guide you through every aspect of the direct-selling business, from getting started and attracting clients to building your team and expanding your network. Even if you are a direct-sales veteran, you may find new approaches and insights to help you keep your momentum going or to bring your business to the next level. Because so many professionals contributed its pithy, easy-to-read essays, the book unavoidably carries some repetition along with its practical guidance. Still, getAbstract recommends it as useful, even necessary, reading for salespeople in any field.
