Elevating This Profession
I hope you’ve found your home and never have to look at another network marketing company again.
If you do, bookmark this article.
Choosing the right company is crucial. Not just for your success, but for your alignment with values, goals, and what you actually want your life to look like. I’ve been in this profession long enough to know that the wrong fit will cost you more than money. It’ll cost you years.
I want to walk you through what actually matters when evaluating a company. This is a robust list. Some of these will matter more to you than others, and that’s fine. Not every point will apply to every situation. Take what serves you, prioritize what matters most for your goals, and don’t let the length of this list overwhelm you. I’m giving you the full picture so you can make the best decision possible.
Then I want to address something that might be even more important: how we talk about our companies once we’ve chosen one.
What to Look For
1. Ownership
The integrity and track record of the company’s owners are vital. Look for leaders with success in network marketing specifically, not just business in general.

From Living Room Presentations to the House Floor: Why Direct Sales Needs a Seat at the Table
by Press Release • • 0 Comments
OPINION | By Ryan D. Chamberlin, Member of the Florida House of Representatives and 30-Year Direct Sales Industry Veteran
In 1993, at the ripe old age of 19, I attended my first network marketing meeting. Like many people walking into their first presentation, I expected one of two things: either I’d discover the greatest business model ever created—or I’d learn how to politely escape a living room without making eye contact.
What I didn’t expect was that it would make perfect sense.
There was no lightning bolt. No choir singing in the background. No dramatic slow-motion handshake. Just a simple realization: this model worked. It empowered ordinary people to do extraordinary things, and it did so through relationships, initiative, and leadership—not corner offices or corporate titles.
That meeting didn’t just change my career. It changed my trajectory.
Over the next 25 years, I built teams across the country, served on corporate boards, and had the privilege of helping grow companies at the highest levels of the industry. I saw firsthand the life-changing impact direct sales could have—not just financially, but personally. Confidence was built. Leaders were formed. Families were strengthened.
But somewhere along the way, I realized something else.
Growth alone wasn’t enough.

USANA’s Kevin Guest Urges Leaders to Use Reading as Competitive Advantage in National Reading Month
by Press Release • • 0 Comments
Salt Lake City, UT – As businesses navigate accelerating change and increased market pressure, USANA Health Sciences, Inc. (NYSE: USNA) Chairman and CEO Kevin Guest is spotlighting a powerful leadership tool during National Reading Month: disciplined, intentional reading.
National Reading Month, observed in March to promote literacy and lifelong learning, often emphasizes youth engagement. Guest believes its value extends far beyond the classroom and into the executive suite.
“Reading stretches your thinking. It challenges assumptions, builds clarity, and sharpens your ability to communicate. Those are leadership skills,”
said Guest, bestselling author of All the Right Reasons: 12 Timeless Principles for Living a Life in Harmony.
While some professionals may view the heightened focus on reading as routine, Guest argues the increased emphasis this month delivers measurable returns that compound over time. He calls reading “essential training for the executive mind,” strengthening mental discipline, improving analytical ability, expanding imagination, and boosting memory.
One clear value of reading, Guest highlights, is that studying and internalizing principles strengthens character and changes destiny.
In All the Right Reasons, Guest reflects on Benjamin Franklin’s commitment to tracking and living his core values.
“By writing, prioritizing, tracking, and clarifying his core values, Franklin understood them better and developed a path for integrating them

by Press Release • • 0 Comments
SEOUL, South Korea – RIMAN, a premium Korean skincare and wellness brand, announced its ICD Dermatology Line, featuring boosters, serums, and creams, has received the iF DESIGN AWARD 2026 in the Packaging Design category.
The packaging reimagines RIMAN’s signature ingredient, Giant BYoungPool™ (Giant Centella Asiatica), in a minimalist and sophisticated form. The distinctive ‘Greenish Ivory’ color, inspired by Lava BYoungPool Water™, symbolizes clarity and vitality and reflects the synergy between Jeju Lava Energy Water and Giant BYoungPool™.
The hue expresses the purity and energy of nature reinforced by the brand’s science-driven approach to skincare. This distinctive color identity reflects RIMAN’s positioning at the convergence of heritage ingredients and advanced research.
ICD Dermatology Line – Booster, Serum and Cream
The uniquely textured cap surface draws inspiration from Jeju’s volcanic basalt, known for its natural filtration of Lava Energy Water. This tactile detail transcends decoration and symbolizes the brand’s origin and philosophy while strengthening its authentic connection to Jeju’s pristine environment.
Youngsu Hwang, Global Chief Sales Officer with RIMAN, commented:
“As well as representing a design achievement, this award also validates our ingredient-centered philosophy and long-term commitment to integrating research, innovation, and brand identity. We will continue elevating RIMAN as a differentiated global K-beauty brand.”

The Human Premium: Why Direct Selling’s Moment Is Now
by Press Release • • 0 Comments
By Susannah Schofield OBE
Director General, UK Direct Selling Association
Speaking recently at a major retail conference, I found myself reflecting on something that those of us in direct selling have understood for decades: when the world accelerates, human connection becomes more valuable — not less.
Across the conference presentations, there was much discussion about AI, automation, efficiency, and cost reduction. Retailers are investing heavily in technology to streamline operations, personalise marketing, and optimise supply chains. And rightly so. Innovation drives progress.
But running through every panel discussion and presentation was a quiet, recurring theme: in an increasingly automated marketplace, customers are craving something technology alone cannot provide — genuine human connection.
This is where direct selling stands apart.
For over 60 years in the UK, our channel has been built on relationships. Not transactions. Not algorithms. Not anonymous clicks. Relationships. The consultant who knows your preferences. The person who takes the time to explain, demonstrate, and reassure. The trusted voice who follows up, not because a CRM prompted them to, but because they genuinely care.
At the UK Direct Selling Association, we represent a sector generating around £1 billion in annual retail sales, supported by hundreds of thousands of independent sellers across the country. But beyond

Beautician and Business Owner Swati Abhijit Patel Shares Vision and Value of Talk Fusion
by Team Business For Home International • • 0 Comments
According to a recent press release:
Talk Fusion is not just another email company — and it’s certainly not just another MLM.
It has evolved into something far greater: a platform that delivers immense value to individuals, businesses, and nonprofits by combining the simplicity of email with the power of video and the professionalism of custom branding — all at a fraction of the cost charged by traditional email marketing agencies. Even more exciting, it offers an industry-first opportunity to get paid every minute.
Swati Abhijit Patel, a resident of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, Maharashtra, has worked as a beautician and makeup artist for the past 15 years. In a city filled with ambitious dreamers, Swati stands out as one of them.
“I love making people feel confident and beautiful,”
says Swati.
“But my income depends entirely on how many clients I serve each day. There’s no passive income, and my time is limited. I knew I needed an additional source of income — that’s when I discovered network marketing.”
Her success in network marketing led her to Talk Fusion Promoters Sanjeev Purohit and Trevor D’Silva, who introduced her to a product and opportunity unlike anything she had seen before: Custom-Branded Video Email and Talk Fusion’s

Direct Selling Association’s Statement on U.S. Dept. of Labor Proposed Worker Classification Rule
by Press Release • • 0 Comments
Announcement Comes Days Before DSA Member CEOs Meet with Senior Administration Officials
Washington, D.C. – The Direct Selling Association (DSA) welcomes the recent announcement from the U.S. Department of Labor proposing a rule to clarify the distinction between employees and independent contractors under federal wage and hour laws.
The proposal would rescind the Department’s 2024 independent contractor regulation and restore an analysis grounded in economic reality and longstanding principles recognized by federal courts.
This proposal comes at an important moment for the direct selling channel. In the coming days, DSA member company CEOs will be in Washington, D.C., meeting with federal policymakers, including senior administration officials. This is part of ongoing engagement to ensure a broad understanding of how direct selling operates and the independence that defines the model.
“The Department of Labor’s proposed rule reinforces a fundamental distinction that has long defined direct selling: individuals choose to pursue building independent businesses on their own terms,”
said Dave Grimaldi, CEO of the Direct Selling Association.
“Direct sellers are not assigned work or directed in the manner of employees. They decide whether, when, and how to engage, and their success is driven by their own initiative. Clear and consistent standards grounded in economic reality help ensure
