Direct Selling Company Membership Benefits
Did you know that thousands of people join a Direct Selling company every week?
The DSWA is a great place to turn to for specialized guidance on how to select the right home-based business opportunity. You will be featured as a DSWA Direct Selling Company Member on DSWA.org and our App.
Benefit #1: Our Commitment to Your Success
We realize that our success is tied to yours. We want you to get the full benefit of your DSWA membership and we make frequent contact with you throughout the year to allow you to reap what you deserve. The DSWA is committed to empowering direct sellers and their companies around the world. This starts with an orientation to the DSWA that is designed to help you take full advantage of the many benefits available to you as a company member. When you want access to the DSWA Executive Team, we are only a quick phone call, text or social media PM away.
Benefit #2: Executive Mentoring Call
After the completion of a brief Corporate Needs Assessment Questionnaire, you may schedule a one-hour call with a DSWA Executive Team member and key people on your corporate staff. These calls can be used to answer questions, address immediate needs, or discuss your plan for maximizing your involvement with the DSWA. Contact membership@dswa.org with any questions. Are you ready for fresh insights into your company that can open avenues to explode your business?
Benefit #3: Your Custom Web Presence
Your membership includes a featured listing and a custom web page that displays your company logo, a detailed description of your business opportunity, contact information and a hyperlink to your company’s web site. As candidates search by product type, company name or start-up costs, your company will receive excellent exposure. In addition, our collaborative efforts with work-at-home web sites, focused publications, industry specific articles, and word of mouth advertising, have made the DSWA the “place to go” for knowledge and guidance on how to select the right business opportunity. Shouldn’t your company be positioned to benefit from these lead generation efforts to introduce more people to the direct selling profession?
Benefit #4: Resources for Your Sales and Marketing
Keep your sales and marketing team on the cutting edge by providing them with a constant source of industry-specific tools. These resources can be used as a springboard for developing successful campaigns in the area of sales, recruiting, training, and leadership development to facilitate the growth of your company. These resources include industry-specific articles, success tips on over 20 direct selling related topics, PDFs and checklists that can be used to create exceptional training for the field. The extensive library is yours to study, absorb, and utilize in your training. We are also able to contract for the specific onboarding, training and coaching needs of your organization.
Benefit #5: Corporate Staff Education
Studies have proven that companies who cultivate an internal culture that promotes understanding of the needs of their distributors have a higher retention rate than companies who fail to provide industry specific education for their staff. As a Corporate Member, your staff may participate in the monthly interactive webinars. You have the opportunity to be on the live webinar to share and ask your questions or can access the recordings on our website and YouTube channel. They may also have access to the weekly video recordings hosted on the App.
Benefit #6: Bulk Membership for Distributors
As a welcome, your company can take advantage of SIX FREE individual DSWA annual memberships. (a $534 value!) These could be used for your corporate staff OR as an incentive of gift for your field.
In addition, you can provide your sales force with the educational resources available through the DSWA by participating in our “bulk membership program.” This option enables companies to purchase 1-year memberships at a considerable discount to be included in your starter kit or used as part of an incentive. For example, your company can offer a 3-month membership for as low as $9.95 (retail value of $39.95). These memberships can be added to your starter kit to ensure every new distributor is on a path of personal growth to ultimately enhance their success. This is your opportunity to share what you value.
Benefit #7: Webinar Training from DSWA Executives
Take advantage of a guest training appearance on your webinar or call by a member of the DSWA Executive Team. These highly skilled trainers will help you meet the training needs of your sales force.
In addition, the DSWA will provide a guest trainer each quarter for conference calls with 50 or more participants. To schedule, contact membership@dswa.org. Often times a “different voice” sharing your company message will make a difference with your distributors’ performance. Let us help you make a difference!
