I was asked to be a guest speaker in Salt Lake City, Utah at a symposium designed for growth and start-up strategies for direct sellers. I was there to address Founders, CEO’s, COO’s, and CFO’s, as well as marketing executives from a myriad of MLM/Network marketing companies. There were those thinking of distributing their products or service through the direct selling arena (either network marketing or party plan), to those that were launching, to those that had just launched and were in the first years of business.
