You know that amazing rush you get when you’re at your regional training or team retreat? We’ve all been there! It’s always awesome to leave feeling rejuvenated, focused and determined to be successful in our businesses. But have you ever attended an industry conference or direct sales convention, where you can meet direct sellers from all over the country – and maybe the world? If you haven’t even thought about it, here are the top 4 reasons why you should check one out this year:
1. Broaden Your Knowledge: This one is a given, of course! All conferences and retreats are a learning experience, but at an industry conference, you open yourself up to not only learning what your company or team leader shares with you, but also what other companies and team leaders are doing and have done that resulted in them becoming insanely successful. It helps to think outside the box and look at your business from a different perspective and industry events do just that. The same goes for your Direct Sales Convention, where you’ll learn new ideas and connect with top leaders and achievers to learn all their success secrets! Why wait years trying to figure out what works, when you can learn from the best and accelerate your growth and income right away. Seriously, knowledge is priceless.
2. Meet Experts Face to Face: Have you been in a Facebook group or taken courses from a Direct Sales expert or Social Media coach? I’ll bet the answer is yes! If you have a favorite, why not go meet her (or him) in the flesh so you can take some fun selfies with the person that helped your business grow? We all love to connect offline! #braggingrights
3. Learn New Tools: Keynote speakers who are professionals in the industry will have a plethora of information at their fingertips so get ready to learn about a bunch of new social media tools and ways to work smarter in your business! There are amazing apps and software out there that really can help you save a ton of time and better manage your biz so you are more consistent and can be available for your customers and team. At a conference, you’ll discover which ones are worth it and feel confident to give them a try!
4. Expand Your Circle: Team retreats are fantastic because they strengthen the team bond and you truly become friends for life who support one another. At a conference or retreat, you’ll meet like-minded entrepreneurs outside of your local area and learn a ton about one another, which really opens up a whole new world of opportunities to collaborate, share ideas and connect! Think about how you can network together and support each other to achieve your goals. It’s also really fun to keep in touch and push each other to attend the next event, which might be an industry conference or incentive trip.
And, if you’re a direct sales leader save the date for the Visionary Women Leadership Retreat, coming up on March 27 – 29, 2020 at the beautiful HarborStay Resort in Florida. Get added to the early bird registration list here
