Building Relationships

Sometimes when we’re in the field, working to sell products and make connections, we get so focused on our own back office results that we forget to step back and see the direct sales industry as a whole. To help us see the big picture, today we’re joined by Peter Maddox, the president of the Direct Sellers Association of Canada! He chatted not only about the work that DSA Canada does and the way that they advocate on behalf of their member companies, but also about the impact of direct sales on the economy and the global interconnectedness of sellers. Whether you’re flourishing in the field or have grown to become an industry leader, listen in to learn the far-reaching effect of the work you’re doing!

After years with multiple direct sales companies, growing businesses through both field work and corporate coaching, Connie Ashburn has gained a lot of knowledge around successful sales. This week on the podcast, she shared that knowledge with us! She not only dove deep into how to build a team and spend quality time on your business, she also offered advice about finding a strong community, growing personally, and most importantly, connecting your big goals to your business plans. No matter where you are in your direct sales journey, you won’t want to miss it.
