Now More Than Ever, Many Are Contemplating
More Efficient, Profitable Ways to Build Their Business.

As a 20+ year industry veteran, who has earned an MAS designation, won multiple PPAI Pyramid Awards and the ASI Spirit Award, I understand the dynamics of this industry. I've personally experienced the challenges of running a small distributor company. For years I had felt that giving away a percentage of my profits by being a part of a larger company didn't make any sense.

Over time, however, I found that the stresses and complexities of running a business were eating me alive. (Well, not literally...but I was getting burned out.) I started to re-think what truly is important in my life. In my search for new business options, I realized that there are many quality distributor companies that would LOVE to have you join them. Let's be honest, recruiting salespeople is a key part of their growth strategy. What I have discovered in my own search is that there are different business models, different personalities and different value propositions. In talking to leadership of these very successful companies, I have been amazed at how confident they are of their value proposition.

In these challenging economic times, I truly believe that affiliating with a larger organization has distinct advantages for salespeople. I also believe that it is important for salespeople to have a means to easily evaluate the options available to them. Compiling a snapshot on a few good companies for evaluation is a beneficial service and one more way FreePromoTips is an asset to our industry. 

When I am asked about affiliation, I always encourage people to look at all their options and make the choice that is best for their personal situation. If you are looking to change the direction of your career, I would highly encourage you to contact these successful companies and see what company fits you best.  There certainly is no risk in learning more. You may ultimately discover that staying independent is the best choice for your life. By exploring your options you will be in a better position to evaluate what is right for you.  Perhaps you will benefit from a change of direction, or be more confident that staying independent is the best direction for your business.
