Direct Selling Women's Alliance

Testimonials
	Thank You For Your Kind Words! The DSWA office is "*buzzing*" with excitement from leaders who are excited to discover how the DSWA is helping them! We are receiving membership applications and e-mails of congratulations every day. At the risk of tooting our own horn, we wanted to share some of the wonderful comments we are receiving from our direct selling friends from around the world.

Thank you for giving your valuable time to talk to me and my down line, I appreciate it.
	“My team and I found your complimentary tele-training to be top notch. The quality of the material was excellent. The impact of the training on my team has been huge. Some of my team members have commented that it was the best tele-training they have heard thus far. There were so many “a-hah” moments in this training. Thank you for giving your valuable time to talk to me and my down line, I appreciate it.” Terra Larsen Executive Sales Director for Epicure Selections and member of the DSWA’s Leaders Task Force
Finally, a need in our profession is being met!
	For 100+ years direct sellers have waited for something we didn't know could exist - the DSWA saw our need and filled it. I get excited thinking about what you ladies started and the steady impact this association will continue to have on the success of so many people. Joanne McLaughlin, Top Leader from Minnesota
I had no idea of the value you offer!
	I’m glad to be a member! I had no idea how much value the DSWA could be until the guest week! It was enlightening to listen to the training classes and browse through the archives. It appears that you have done a really great job providing what so many companies do not, support, training, resources and a safe environment! Kudos to everyone involved in the creation and I hope you have great growth! Julie Kinney, Centennial, CO
Worth Every Penny!
	Your guest appreciation week is a great and wonderful idea. It helped me make my decision to join so much easier. After experiencing a tele-class and seeing what is available on the website, I feel the membership is worth every penny! I am very excited about being a member. Marybeth Barrett, Oviedo, FL
Absolutley LOVED the Tame Your Taxes Tele-seminar...
	The Tame Your Taxes tele-seminar on Business Finances was stupendous! Vicky, the information was wonderful. I was feverishly taking notes. I realized how lucky I was to be a part of your telephone seminar. I got much needed, useful and very valuable information. Jane, thank you for your expertise in facilitating the call. This was my first teleclass. I am blown away about the process and how much I got out of it. Thank you both. I am really looking forward to next session. Brend Surgers, Oakland, CA
Like having a personal trainer...
	Having the DSWA is like having a personal trainer to help you identify your skills and develop your strengths. To be around like minded women who share many of the same daily challenges and are focused, determined and committed to creating a better life for themselves and their families is thrilling. I am impressed with the resources DSWA offers women for all areas of their lives - business, finance, family, community, and personal growth. I enjoy the fact that this resource is general and not a part of anyone teaching philosophy. It is a rich broth, a collective genius of like minded women and men coming together to share thoughts, experiences and skills with others. I frequently incorporate material I have received through my affiliation with DSWA with my business partners with great results! I truly feel Direct Selling is the new profession of the twenty-first century and I love being a part of DSWA's energy, its focus on how it can play a role in developing the strong direct selling industry Women Leaders of tomorrow. It's not about just making money, it's about making a difference! Wendy Weil, Lake Oswego, Oregon

Company Applauds DSWA
	" There has been a need in our industry to separate the wheat from the chafe for a long time coming, and I believe the DSWA is an organization on a mission to set the record straight, once and for all. In an industry 60-years young that has provided individuals with the power and freedom to pursue any dream their mind can conceive and believe; the DSWA is the only organization I know of that stands tall and strong in support of those who are looking for an alternative to their accustomed lifestyle. Their focus on the individual versus the industry answers important questions that have gone unanswered for decades. At AgeLess Skin Care Systems (a Viviane Woodard Company estab. 1958) we understand the necessity for an organization like the DSWA in today's world. And, we support the organization fully in their efforts to promote and perpetuate the noble opportunity of being in business for yourself, in the pursuit of happiness and success". Carl L. Bradley
IGNITING A SPARK IN ME!
	"I can't thank DSWA enough for igniting in me a spark to run my business with passion again. As a result of your influence, and the training I've received, I managed to book 3 classes from the open house I did last Sunday!" Hala B. San Diego, CA
THIS IS VERY EXCITING!
	"I have to share with you that I have been getting at least one interest to my classified advertisement on a daily basis! This is very exciting! I am actually in the process of sponsoring someone in North Carolina! I didn't realize that it would be tapping into women all over the country!" M. Giron, CA
EXCITING FOR ME!
	Joining the DSWA feels like joining a giant network and that is terrifically exciting for me!! G. Royen - Hawaii
NOW IS THE TIME!
	"The DSWA is a gift to the profession. The web site is packed with helpful tools and the bi-weekly tele-classes help to supplement the training we are already receiving from our companies. I became a Chapter President to help the DSWA establish a local presence and bring additional tools to those of us in the field. I love their attitude and mission and the fact that this is a safe place to bring our teams. Since the DSWA has a policy against cross recruiting, we can take off our recruiting "hat" and really practice communicating the benefits of our products! When I think of the impact that could have on each direct seller's volume, I am amazed! I am proud and honored to be associated with an organization of this caliber. If you haven't joined yet, NOW IS THE TIME!" K. Nelson - Portland, OR
WOW!
	Please let me tell you how incredible your library is! I had a conference call with my team and solicited to them to email me several concerns they were having with their business in the current "Summer Selling Slump". I needed some "fresh" new ideas and went directly to the DSWA Library and my goodness I found what I needed and so much more! What a tremendous group of talents we have to choose from! Thank you all so much for this incredible training tool you offer us! A. Gunn - Plano, TX
Thank you! from Down Under
	I must say I have been looking for something like the DSWA here in Australia, when I came across your site I was very impressed. I have been into your site already a couple of times since filling the application form. Love all of the centers and topics, I listened to one of the Tele Classes in the Archives, I think it was Caterina speaking on Power of 8, very informative and inspiring, I look forward to listening to them all. I can see already, the DSWA is going to be a great benefit to my direct selling business and my own personal development. Thank you for the opportunity to be part of your association. T. Graham - Perth Western Australia
Tele-classes are a great success
