MLM Attorney, Kevin Thompson, Responds To Avon DSA Withdrawal

by Tina Williams • September 17, 2014 • 0 Comments

Recently, Kevin Thompson, THe MLM Attorney, covered in an article that Avon withdrew from the DSA because they’re dissatisfied with the direction the organization is heading.
Now, Kevin Thompson responds to the withdrawal and what it could mean.
Letter from Avon:
To our U.S. direct selling colleagues,
At Avon, we strongly believe in the power of direct selling to enhance people’s lives. Our entire business model is based on our commitment to helping women build better lives for themselves and their families. And we know that multi-level marketing, in some markets and with the appropriate guardrails, is a robust and effective channel for distributing products to consumers.
As you may be aware, this week Avon made the decision to exit the U.S. DSA. This decision came after careful consideration and more than a year of thoughtful discussion. This decision was driven by two key issues:
• We believe the association’s agenda in the U.S. is overly focused on the issues of a few specific brands rather than industry-wide challenges.

• We believe that the U.S. DSA Code of Ethics requires updating to better reflect the current state of the industry in the U.S.
As the U.S. DSA is currently operating, we do not believe that either of these issues will be addressed.

Dale And Vanessa Munger – Five Star National Marketing Director’s At Nerium International

by Nicole Dunkley • September 16, 2014 • 0 Comments

Introverted and shy for most of his life, Dale Munger first came out of his shell when he became a real estate appraiser, and later as a 10-year veteran of direct selling. He learned how to connect with people on golf courses and at neighborhood barbeques. “I was the shyest person and to think of being in front of an entire room nearly turned me off of the direct selling industry,” Munger says. But he has found growing comfortable in front of an audience boils down to differentiating selling and sharing. “Once you believe in something, you’re no longer selling. You are sharing your belief and people see that,” Munger says.
Today’s consumer doesn’t want to be sold, but she still likes to buy. So Munger and his Nerium International business partner wife, Vanessa, go out into the world looking to share their story for the sake of helping others. “We want to connect with as many people as we can,” he says. Working with his wife is an added perk, so too is the travel and getting to show their two boys all sorts of places.
It wasn’t that long ago that the Mungers were themselves praying for solutions to financial
