Ask Victoria: Why An Hour?

June 25, 2012 By admin Leave a Comment

You may be wondering why our direct selling startup guide comes with an hour of consulting.

Some people buy our guide without realizing that it comes with an hour of direct selling consulting. When they find out about this powerful hour, I’m often told the book is of great value without it.

There are three reasons for the hour:

We want to answer your questions. At the end of each chapter, we’ve included a place for you to jot down your questions. We include the hour of consulting so that we can answer them.
We want to help you. By listening to your questions and concerns, we can target solutions to fit your needs exactly.
We want to exceed your expectations. Where can you buy a book that includes one-to-one time with one of the authors?

In 1986, Jay began his career in direct selling by working for a major direct selling software provider. First as a software developer and later as a project leader and a business analyst, Jay worked closely with new and established network marketing and party direct selling companies to provide them with software solutions to meet their unique requirements.

Jay contributed in many ways to the success of large implementation projects for many companies. Jay also worked with dozens of smaller companies to assist each of them in various capacities to provide them with the systems they needed to help their businesses to grow faster.

Along the way while working with them, he learned the secrets of successful direct selling companies and the challenges faced by them. In true entrepreneurial spirit, Jay’s decision in 1999 to start Sylvina Consulting as a direct selling consulting company was driven by what he saw was a need for answers, advice, and solutions.

In 2004, 2006, 2009, 2014, and 2018, Jay gave presentations on compensation plans, recognition, and field leadership development at conferences held by the US Direct Selling Association.

He traveled to South Africa in 2015, 2016, and 2017 to conduct workshops on compensation plan design and recognition programs for member companies of the South African Direct Selling Association.

In 2017, Jay spoke at the Canadian Direct Sellers Association Meeting on the importance of recognition.

More than just a compensation plan expert, Jay is exceptionally skilled at advising new and established companies on business strategies. Before offering advice or solutions, he asks important questions to understand each client’s specific concerns and goals.
