It is common knowledge that while a number of direct selling companies achieve brilliant success, many others barely make it out of the gate. The Symposium Group, a consortium of MLM and Party Plan experts, holds symposiums to train entrepreneurs interested in starting a company as well as executive teams of startup and existing MLM and Party Plan companies.
The curriculum includes training and strategies essential to succeed in the network marketing industry.
Orville Thompson, CEO of booming MLM company, Scentsy, attended past Symposiums to learn the MLM ropes. At a past Symposium, when all the speakers gave a brief synopsis of what they’d be talking about, Orville said he’d be speaking about “why it’s important to listen to the rest of these guys.†Then, in his keynote presentation, he said:
“Here at the Symposium Group and being connected through the Direct Selling Association, this is the way I’ve learned the fundamental principles of the structure of direct selling companies that are very invaluable. You can’t do it without tying yourself into vendors who know and company executives who have been there.”
“When I was here in your position, I kept asking the same question: What does a successful company look like? I had no idea what I was supposed to be looking like, because all there was were successful companies and then there were struggling companies, and I wanted to understand the process. And, nobody could either identify the process or they didn’t want to share it.”-OrvilleThompson
The Symposium Experience is a bi-annual, two-day conference where industry experts share their state-of-the-art, hands-on experience.
