Live Events Are Back—And They’re Still The Fastest Way To Build In Direct Sales

OPINION | By Monico Perez, CEO of Monico Perez Productions
Live Events = Real Connection + Momentum
I’ve had the privilege of producing events all over the world.
And no matter what company, country, or comp plan —
it’s always the same:
When people come together in person, belief skyrockets.
Leaders are born.
Stories are shared that no algorithm can deliver.
The energy in the room does something that no PowerPoint ever could.
I’ve watched shy introverts become confident recruiters.
I’ve seen someone sitting in the back row one year be the keynote the next.
That doesn’t happen by accident. That happens by proximity and presence.

Events Aren’t Just for Training—They’re for Duplication
You don’t build a business just by learning.
You build it by showing others what’s possible—and helping them feel like they belong.
Live events give your team a place to plug in, grow, and duplicate.
When you bring people into that environment, they don’t just hear information—they catch belief.
And belief is what makes people stay.
If You’re Smart, You’re Not Just Attending Events… You’re Building to Them
The top leaders I’ve worked with didn’t just show up to events.
They built to them.
They treated events like launchpads, not just dates on a calendar.
They used them to:

Recognize new teammates

Launch new products

Fire up momentum going into the next

Back To the Future—This Year’s ANMP Convention Is the New Tipping Point 

OPINION | By Tom Chenault
The March 1992 issue of SUCCESS magazine was the first major national publication to give positive—much less enthusiastic—coverage to Network Marketing. (They still called it Multi-Level Marketing back then.) The headline was “We Create Millionaires.”
That edition outsold every other issue in the magazine’s storied near 100-year history.
It was a Tipping Point.
That flat-out endorsement of Network Marketing as a major league player in free enterprise from an esteemed business magazine helped establish our legitimate business model. We went from the “black sheep of business” to a respected leading-edge profession.
SUCCESS Magazine Cover, March 1992
A New Tipping Point is Coming
There’s another Tipping Point like that coming.
This August. In Dallas.
At this year’s Annual ANMP 2025 International Convention.
As ANMP board member Alfredo Bala wrote— and I love this line like crazy:

“The ANMP Annual Convention is essential for the future of Network Marketing.”

Why? Because it’s a “Back To the Future” moment for our profession. And the people who are leading this shift—a transition that looks a lot like a transformation—will all be there. And so, should you.
Remembering What Made Us Great
Our industry was built on a foundation of human connection. People-to-People. Belly-to-Belly. Eye-to-Eye.
It wasn’t about algorithms or automation. It was about relationships, friendships, partnerships… and
