It's been a whole year since I started Direct Selling Success. Happy Anniversary to my fledgling business!
I can't believe how well received it has been - and how much it has grown and developed in that time.
This time last year I had just started out in my journey. I'd set up my Direct Selling Success business page and group up on Facebook and was starting to advertise them wherever I could. I'd got my first clients booked in for 121 mentoring, I was talking to leaders and managers in different companies and getting team trainings booked in and then Coronavirus struck the UK.
My plan of face to face individual and team training was scrapped and online we went!
More time at home gave me more time to focus on online networking. I spent my days chatting to other business owners across the country, booking more mentoring sessions in to be held over Zoom and was filling my diary with appointments to help others in Direct Selling and Network Marketing to make the transition from "the real world" to online social media selling.
As the year wore on, I was being asked for support by more and more people. I wanted to set up an affordable way for Direct Sellers and Network Marketers to be able to access good training and mentoring without the hefty price tag. So in August I set up The Success Lounge membership. And at just £20 a month this was affordable to all.
I designed The Success Lounge to be a place where direct sellers can be part of a supportive community, where they can access mini courses, live workshops and group coaching each month and get the help and training they need to recruit, sell and lead their team.
When it opened it's doors in September I was overwhelmed by the response. The first 20 members signed up to the membership straight away. I opened the doors again in February 2021 and saw another 30 join. I've adapted the support in the group and included coffee mornings for networking, live weekly Q&As and half price 121 focus sessions for the members to ensure they are getting as much support as I can give them.
Reminiscing a year on from the launch of Direct Selling Success I feel it's been a tough but successful year. I have big plans for this next 12 months and beyond and I hope you are with me throughout.
Here's to the next 12 months and whatever they may bring!
