Community

It turns out that tribes, not money, not factories, that can change our world, that can change politics, that can align large numbers of people. Not because you force them to do something against their will. But because they wanted to connect.” – Seth Godin

Direct Selling Entrepreneurs Network CommunityThe Direct Sales Industry is known as a platform whereby you can be ‘in business for yourself, not by yourself’.

It is in this spirit that the Direct Selling Entrepreneurs Network has incorporated a community or social network for our members to connect with like-minded business owners to share ideas, provide support, overcome challenges and celebrate their successes.

The focus and purpose of the DSEN community is to create a safe environment for Direct Sellers to connect with and support each other to grow strong successful businesses. Our philosophy is one of SHARING VALUE rather than that of shameless self-promotion. We believe if each member shares information that is of value to others, rather than constantly promoting themselves, they will create a reputation that will attract people to them.

The DSEN offers a social networking platform with the following features…

  • create your own profile
  • connect with other members and to other social media platforms (eg. facebook and twitter)
  • market yourself as an expert in your field via your own blog, video sharing and music uploads
  • participate in forums and groups
  • build relationships with others using live text, audio and video chat
  • network amongst the community to do business with each other
  • list and share events
  • share links to other industry related information

It is our aim to share valuable learning and support based on attracting people to you, not ‘selling’ to them. We believe, if we can share this philosophy with the broader direct sales community, not only will they get better results, they will engender customer loyalty, massive referrals and more credibility for the direct sales profession as a whole.

As a result of this philosophy, this is not the place for people looking to cross-recruit or poach consultants from other companies to their business. The DSEN community will be moderated as a ‘safe and secure’ environment for companies and leaders to send their teams, knowing we DO NOT encourage or tolerate this behaviour amongst our members.

We expect our Community to launch in January 2012.
