Is Direct Selling the Anti-Amazon? And is That a Good Thing?

Have you ever considered there being hidden competition between direct selling companies and Amazon? We didn’t either until this conversation.

And is That a Good Thing?” Be sure to read the full article.

 

You Need to ZAG

In his article, Brett discusses a few ways direct selling companies should embrace our differences. He encourages his listeners to implement a philosophy he learned from Marty Neumeier’s book, ZAG.

When everyone else is zigging, YOU need to zag.
