This has been a very long time coming … but then again I’m finally getting to work on a lot of things that have been a long time coming!  Expect a lot of updates here soon as I slowly get my “wahm business life” back together!  (YAY!)

I just did a complete overhaul to our Direct Sales Company Directory.  Could you please take a peek and let me know what you think.  http://www.mommyshelperonline.com/direct-sales.html  Hate it?  Love it?  Could be better how?  (I’m a big girl – let me have it.) 
 
While overhauling I found quite a few people who were no longer with the company they had listed   Bad news for me … makes for an empty looking directory.  Good news for you … lots of openings available AND a special holiday offer to fill that baby up!  (And it sure is filling up quick!  http://www.mommyshelperonline.com/direct-sales.html

What does RB mean?
Why it mean it means Re Blog of course! LOL! I figured if you RT to Re Tweet then we should RB to Re Blog, right? Lame? Maybe? OR maybe … just maybe I’m going to start a whole new internet marketing trend!

Do me a favor … if you value my blog posts … the next time you Re Blog something or send out a REminder … use the RB tag! LOL!

(Just kidding … think it would work?)

Anyway … enough playing around … getting down to business here. This is some important news to those of you in direct sales so I need your un-divided attention for a moment.

Remember the other day I told you about the HUGE Fr.ee Teleclass with my good friend Lisa Young Robbins? You know the one that has only the best of the best in direct sales … and the one that is FR.EE!?!

We’ll here’s the deal …
Right now it is Sunday, March 22 @ 1:14 PM EST and according to @lisarobbinyoung (Lisa Robbin Young @ Twitter) as of 19 minutes ago, there was only a little over 8 hours left until this awesome class starts (yeah, the fre.e one). AND … more importantly … she’s almost hit the 1000 mark!

So this means what?
Simpe: If you’re going to join in (for fre.e) you’re going to want to grab your ticket ASAP – and I really mean – As Soon As Possible. Cause it’s only fr.ee to the first 1000! After that, you’re going to have to pay. (And noone wants to do that if they don’t have to!)

And more specific … that means RIGHT NOW go to:
http://www.homepartysolution.com/supersummit and grab your ticket!
RIGHT NOW!

If you have NO clue what the heck I’m talking about, you’re sure to find everything you need to know on that page plus, you’ll find even more in my previous blog post: http://2wahms.com/549/free-direct-sales-teleclass

(Remember – it’s the same topic name – just now I’ve added the RB silly!)

So move it! Go grab your spot now! I know Lisa and I KNOW you will NOT be disappointed!

(Take advantage of this nutjob move she’s making and grab it for fr.ee! That’ll teach her! Next time she really should put a price tag on something like this! Gotta love Lisa!)

A good friend of mine, Lisa Robbin Young is offering a *must check out* opportunity for direct sales representatives.  If you’re in direct sales – keep reading because you’re going to be amazed at what she’s offering!  (And it’s F*REE!!)

First of all, let me tell you … Lisa absolutely positively rocks!  This woman really knows what she’s talking about.  I’m a direct sales marketing coach myelf, and if I ever have a question … she is one of the first I go too!  (She and of course my other good friend Jennifer Stoll – who you’ll also get to hear should you decide to go for it!)

Alrighty, enough rambling … let me get to the good stuff now!  Here’s what Lisa shared with me about the Direct Sales Summit:

March 22 – April 4 the cream of the crop in sales, marketing, mindset, and direct sales coaching are coming together for a groundbreaking event like no other. The Direct Sales SUPER Summit brings 15 experts to your phone to listen in the comfort of your own home. Tips, tricks and strategies you can use right now to bring your direct sales business to new heights.

Learn about the right ways to use facebook, twitter, and other social media – and why they are more important now than ever in your business. Get expert advice on the right words to say (and not to say) to make the most of every home party. Be inspired with stories of heroism, overcoming obstacle, and the power of leadership. Get tools and techniques designed to grow your business, create more time and financial stability for yourself and the ones that matter most.

The telesummit is FREE to listen live, but each call is limited to the first 1000 callers. If you miss a call, you can purcahse the entire set of 15 audios for $47 if you order when you register. After that, the price jumps to $97 – and we can’t promise that option will be available after the classes begin. This fee covers the costs of creating and hosting the audios for download. Pre-ordering insures we have enough disk space and transfer bandwidth available for everyone. Those that order in advance not only get a great value, they also confirm they’ll have every second of every class available to them.

With additional bonus materials being announced throughout the event, you’re really getting your money’s worth on this WOW experience.

I hope to “see” you and your group at the SUPER Summit!

What market is in Tremendous Bull Market Mode?
(According to MSNBC Bull Market – the guys who are watching those stocks!)

Which three companies in this market are doing the best – right up there on top!
(And have been for quite some time – it’s about time to place credit where credit is due!)

See for yourself:

You know, direct sales has had a huge, huge fight for many years. As not only a direct sales representative myself but also a direct sales coach – I know for a fact that most out there pounding the pavement are not just struggling for sales due to competition but also due to the bad name it’s been given from all the way back to when Amway first started.

This comes from representatives with no morals, horrible techniques taught by uplines and the thought that direct sales is nothing more than bugging friends and family members to buy from you. Direct sales has come so far. Those who still believe this are quite naive if you ask me.

WOW! I am just thrilled to watch this video and see the direct sales industry get the respect and acknowledgement it deserves. Sucks it took our economy to get where it is to finally get there but hey, I guess we have to look at the big picture and just be glad it’s finally happening, right?

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this topic come up lately either. Note: I don’t mean from direct sales reps themselves. I mean I’m reading this on Yahoo’s homepage featured articles, money marketers and those who are finanlly seeing the light. Those who really know what they’re talking about when it comes to money are finally breaking down and saying – Yes! This is where you need to be!

I mean why wouldn’t this industry be recession-proof?

You control your own income for a change. You can’t get fired or laid off or lose you job because of downsizing or the company you’re employed with made some bad money decisions – you are in control. You!

In most cases your commute is whatever time it takes to get from your bedroom to the home office. With the luxury of an internet connection – you very well could run your own direct sales business without ever leaving the home. Talk about saving on gas!

For those of you that are in direct sales (especially if you’re involved with one of those top three!), take this video and put it on your MyWahmSpace.com pages, your MySpace pages, Facebook, Twitter it!, put on your websites or on your blogs – use this video as an excellent recruiting tool. Hey, if you can convince your prospects how beneficial direct sales is – let MSNBC Mad Money do it. They’ve been watching the stocks – they’re shocked – and they’re finally sharing it with the world. You can too!

Each page is a full review of each company and includes some of the imortant details such as: Company description/background, sales quotas, commission rates and pay frequency, how to join, product description, and even a contact form should you choose to request more information plus a whole lot more. This will make comparing one company to the next super simple. Go find out which recession proof position is perfect for you!
