Be the Exception in Direct Sales: Recent Episodes
Susie Nelson
The shocking fact about the direct selling industry is that a very small number (only about 0.1%) of consultants or leaders ever build to the top in their compensation plans. When I did it, I had to change my approach, and think about my business differently than most. I'm launching a special project. I'm joining another direct selling company, and my goal is to build to the top...again. I'm going to share my journey as I build from "launch" to the top in the company's compensation plan in just 12 months. I hope you follow along, and follow in my footsteps!
My first month of Fast Start ended on Saturday - and I failed! I didn’t complete 4 parties. But I learned a lot during the process.
In this episode, I share what worked, what didn’t work, and some big takeaways!

We promoted to leadership within 6 months of each other and were roommates at “New Manager training.”
There’s one simple reason I earned more than $500,000 more in commissions over our time in the business, than she did.

I’m going to share exactly what I got done, and how I’m progressing with my “almost automated launch party.”
A huge thank you to Amy Barker!
Here's what she had to say about this Podcast:
I discovered Be the Exception in Direct Sales recently when I was on a road trip and spent 12 hours in the car in one weekend. I immediately binged the entire series. I'm new to party plan direct sales, and it has already given me some actionable ideas that I could implement immediately. I've especially loved the systems talk, I'm a busy woman and have a demanding full time job besides my home based business, so working smarter, not harder is key for my success. I'm eagerly awaiting the next episodes, and it's fun to follow Susie's journey, while being able to implement her strategies in real time. Lots of inspiration and practical, useful tips in a quick, easy to find time for, package!

Let’s talk about Launch Parties!
I’m going to share my perspective on launch parties — and where most sponsors, and in turn, new consultants mess this up.

I’m going on a bit of a rant today — specifically about the struggles I had joining Company X.
Keep in mind, I was joining as an LLC (something that is allowed by Company X, per its policies and procedures); but it shouldn’t be so hard.
(A big lesson for those who work on the corporate side of the business, too!)

So often consultants simply get in their own way. There are four key areas where they get stuck:
- Mindset — fear, lack of confidence, etc.
- Lack of Fundamental Skills - Selling, Booking Parties, Host Coaching, Sponsoring, Customer Service
- Not generating new leads consistently
- Lack of leadership skills.
In today’s episode — the first under the “Think!” category — I’m sharing a way to use “gold stars” to build your self confidence, and stop beating yourself up!

Very few direct selling consultants and leaders build to the top of their compensation plan, like I did. So few, that I call it "being the exception” in direct sales.
What if you could follow along - step-by-step - as a person (OK - it’s me!) builds another direct selling company from “launch” to the very top?
My goal is to do it in just 12 months, in just 8-to-10 hours per week. Will I make it? Follow along as I share my journey.
