What’s better than being your own boss, setting your own hours, determining your own salary and having an office wherever you happen to be?
It’s a Utopian idea that is reality for tens of thousands of people working independently in direct sales worldwide. But getting there isn’t easy. It takes grit to abandon the familiar grind and build a business — especially in direct sales.
Just ask Wayne Nugent, founder and chief visionary officer of a $1 Billion leading direct seller of travel and leisure club memberships.
He got his start as a direct salesman and, after more than two decades in the business, he has seen it all. In that time, the industry has faced many challenges largely due to a minority of companies recruiting representatives, charging them large upfront fees and persuading them to purchase large volumes of nonreturnable inventory with little or no tangible value.

Top earners such as Ken and Carol Porter with life time earnings of $28 million, Steve and Melyn Campbell $26 Million, Nathan Ricks $50 million and Mark Comer $17 Million are Utah based residents.
Per capita, Utah has more MLMs than any other state.“It must have something to do with the way LDS culture works in the valley,” said Ann Dalton, CEO of the beauty product direct-seller Perfectly Posh, from her Salt Lake City office.
Connections fostered in LDS communities, said Dalton, create a hotbed
By Anis Qizilbash Selling is stressful, especially when you’re doing it for your own business and even more so if you hate it.

During client interactions, this fear manifests as pushiness, desperation, and […]
