Why do we dislike being "sold to"?
When we hear the word “selling” of any kind, we want to run. The truth of the matter is, we are being sold to everyday. Everything from clothing, cars, and even our toothpaste has been marketed to us.
Why are we so hesitant to buy from a MLM company or any direct seller?
Many pyramid schemes have been disguised as MLM or direct sales companies made millions misleading others, hence the word "scheme" often being added when referring to MLM or Direct Sales.

They only opened their doors to their local community or within the country. The number of small businesses who have opened online and want to expand the borders of this business has significantly increased.

I was talking to an associate the other day and realized I have been in a customer service related industry for over 30 years. Yes, I know my boyish looks tend to make you drop your jaw in disbelief, but it is true. Another thing this associate and I were talking about was the fact that it is pretty easy to tell the people who have worked in this industry from the people who have. There is just a difference.

Sunday evenings are a great time for me to review what is in the forecast for the upcoming week. There are times when a simple list will do, but as my business progresses, I found a list was simply not enough!
