Have you ever considered?.....

Why the multi-level marketing industry has such a high attrition rate?

Why only a fraction of those that become distributors or consultants ever ascend to the top?

Why there seems to be a constant challenge to cultivate and developleaders?

Why only a small percentage of multi-level marketers ever achieve earnings of $1,500 per month or more, and an even smaller percentage ever break through the $5,000 or more per month mark?

What original purpose was multi-level marketing as a business modelintended to fulfill?

What if the commonly accepted approach to on-boarding new network marketers is effective for only 20% of the population and thus the reason that 80% drop-out after their first 90 days?

What can we learn from the world's first network marketer, who also happened to be a woman?

Well, these are questions that award-winning top performer and leader in multi-level marketing, national best-selling author, keynote speaker, trainer, performance coach and business consultant, Debrena Jackson Gandy, has asked and answered.

As one of the first 150 consultants in a new direct selling company that launched in 1999, and as the founding consultant in the Northwest region of the country, Gandy rose to prominence in only four short years, as one of only 8 to reach the coveted top position within her company. During this time, her organization grew to nearly 3,000 consultants and $300,000 per month in sales at its height. within 4 1/2 years she became a member of the elite $20,000 Club -- those who broke through the $20,000 monthly earnings mark.

Gandy was a featured speaker at all seven company national conventions, and was a popular convention workshop presenter. She won numerous awards including Executive Council Member of the Year, Shining Star, and 3-Diamond National Vice-President of the Year, and was instrumental in creating the training system template that she developed and first put in place for her personal team that later was adopted by the company, and was in place when the company had its first $15 million year.

For 24 months, her team had the highest-revenue-to-team-size ratio, she helped to develop a company-wide certification program, and championed the company's auto-ship program, with customer orders increasing 30% over a 6-month period under her direction and training strategy and leadership.

Over the course of seven years, her national organization accumulatively generated nearly $5.5 Million in sales, with accumulative earnings totaling nearly a half-million dollars.
