SPONSORINGWords of Wisdom…As a top personal producer, Senior Division manager Melody Kral has met her share of terrific peoplethrough her extensive show schedule. One of the great perks of this business is the special relationshipswe cultivate and enjoy with hostesses. The hostess who sent Melody the following article muststand out in Melody’s mind as one of the most special. Gauging by the passion and intensity of thestory, the hostess obviously had a personal connection to the direct sales industry. Our thanks to thehostess who thought enough of Melody to send her this inspirational message and our appreciation toMelody for sharing it with the rest of us. Enjoy!WHO is in Direct Sales?She’s a no-nonsense corporate career woman who hit her head on the “glass ceiling”one too many times - and a sensible, single woman who’s decided that rather than“marry a millionaire” she’ll just become one. She is a Ph.D., a high school dropout andeverything in between.She’s business in blue jeans; wholesale in high heels; an entrepreneur in an evening gown. Her energies drivethe world’s economy. Her efforts mesh the gears of international commerce.In fact, if all the multiplied millions of women in direct selling stopped work for one week, the world’s economywould stumble to a standstill. She is a strong woman. Part angel, actress and acrobat, she is a multi-taskingmiracle - she can fold laundry, repair a bike, prepare a dinner, change a baby, change a tire and host a conferencecall - all at the same time.A fusion of model, missionary and magician, she can wrench ninety minutes from an hour, squeeze eight daysout of a week and 40 days from a month. She can meet a month end production deadline dead center - andalthough she may not feel it, she’s drop dead gorgeous.She can be found anywhere: From a concourse to a convention center. You’ll find her on a laptop in a coffeeshop, hosting an in home presentation, up front training or sitting in a seminar listening and learning. But mostlyyou’ll find her at home- because that’s probably why she chose direct selling in the first place.She loves God. She loves her family. She loves her company. She loves her products. She loves people. Thisdirect selling dynamo never meets a stranger. She simply has no time to be timid.She’s a strong woman. In a world where clarity is a rarity, she knows what she wants. Instead of taking careshe’s taking charge. While protecting the present she is planning the future. While others wish, she works. Whileothers are making excuses, she is making money. The very reasons why some women say they can’t succeedare the compelling reasons why she must.She is a strong woman. She is a tough-minded optimist. Pleasantly persistent she moves from rejection torejection without losing enthusiasm. She knows that her sales are in direct proportion to the number of times sheis willing to open herself up to being let down. She doesn’t enjoy it any more than anyone else but has come toterms with rejection and refuses to let it stop her from pursuing her goals.14 The Network
