Keynote Speech for Independent Distributors
There has never been a better time to be self-employed, either as an independent distributor or in direct sales. Today’s increasingly online economy allows individual practitioners to position themselves as an expert in their field. By interacting with other industry leaders and sharing valuable content, independent distributors and direct selling professionals can build their businesses from the ground up, in record time. The biggest opportunities are in creating multiple short videos on YouTube, tagging people in photos on Facebook, finding unique was to communicate visually (photos & videos) and offering tiny incentives to encourage tiny actions. It’s remarkable what people will do for a cup of coffee!
Of course, the problem with all this is that most people have no idea how to get actual results. The vast majority of people using social media platforms today are just wasting time! Meanwhile, there are a select few who are using simple strategies to explode their revenue overnight. In his 60-minute keynote presentation, Patrick will introduce your attendees to a series of relevant success stories so they can see what these people did and imagine to employ similar strategies in their own businesses. The program ends with a simple 3-step “winning formula” that your distributors and salespeople can implement immediately to attract new clients and increase their revenue.
