JUNE 4 – 6 HYATT REGENCY ORLANDO
ONSITE GUIDE
Dear Colleagues, On behalf of DSA and the annual meeting committee, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the DSA Annual Meeting 2017. Join as we celebrate our amazing industry, one that – each and every day – helps people improve their lives, and the lives of those around them. We will learn together; have meaningful conversations; inspire one another; and plan our bright future with all of the determination and excitement that it deserves. I firmly believe that the direct selling success story is unique among all others, and here in Orlando, we will turn a spotlight on some of the people, companies, and partners who make that true. It is because of you that DSA can advance its work of protecting the direct selling opportunity and advocating for a more supportive world in which independent contractors and entrepreneurs can thrive. I look forward to being by your side as, together, we shape the next chapter of direct selling’s story! JOHN PARKER, Chief Sales Officer, Amway DSA Annual Meeting 2017 Chairman
DSA Thanks Our Annual Meeting 2017 Sponsors

GENERAL SESSION 3 8:30 A.M. – 10:45 A.M. CONTAGIOUS: WHY THINGS CATCH ON
CEO KEYNOTE: ASKING THE TOUGH QUESTIONS Is it possible to sustain revenue, profit and innovation in a fast changing environment, without leaving opportunity and growth on the table?

One can get to yes, but only after honestly answering these other questions: Is your team built for fast change? Is your team built for economic pressures?

Is your team built for tapping into growth opportunities?
Word of mouth is 10 times as effective as traditional advertising, but why do people talk about and share certain things rather than others? Why do some products catch on, some ideas diffuse and some online content go viral? Jonah Berger – Professor of Marketing at The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania – will discuss all this, as well as the way in which research from a variety of disciplines – business, psychology, and social science – can help you harness the influences that drive individual choice.

CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST Fuel up for a fun day filled with great education and networking!
DIRECT SELLING 101 Direct selling is the age-old method of conducting sales directly with an individual, away from a fixed-retail location. But there’s more to the story than the simple sale of products, and this sales channel is fundamentally different from other distribution channels. Learn what accounts for those differences and how successful companies structure their operations around the unique philosophies associated with specific direct-selling principles. We’ll also discuss hiring the staff that can understand the differences and act appropriately on them.
WHAT IS A COMPENSATION PLAN How your company compensates your salesforce is one of the most critical business decisions you’ll have to make. Whether you are starting your own enterprise or starting your career at an existing one, this session will provide the education you need to understand the basic principles and to refine your direct-selling compensation plan. We’ll cover what parts of a plan will drive different behaviors, the role promotions should play without overriding your plan and the metrics at work in a particular product line that impacts how distributors are paid. Most importantly, you’ll see how one slight adjustment can cause a domino effect within your salesforce.
DEVELOPING YOUR INDEPENDENT SALESFORCE While you’re building your team, you need to know how to train and develop them too, so that your salesforce is geared up to recruit more sellers and is motivated to sell your products for a long, long time. We’ll tackle the basics of creating field-development programs that foster and develop growth, leadership skills and ethical behaviors. We’ll discuss how to move your first-level salesforce into leadership and set performance standards. Included in this discussion will be ways in which your company can implement fun and appealing training methods to get your salesforce excited about their businesses, and why inspiration and recognition are crucial to your company’s long-term success.

But you still need to know the basics, and that’s exactly what this session will provide. We’ll specifically dig in to: • The impact of the independent contractor status in your field

IMPLEMENTING OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS Gone are the days of scheduling books, manual lists, calculators and hand-written letters.

Our expert will walk you through the must-haves and can-waits to ensure your company is fully operational while taking practical considerations into account.
REFRESHMENT BREAK Pause to take care of business or enjoy a refreshing beverage before the final Direct Selling Boot Camp sessions!
PLAY TO YOUR STRENGTHS Learn how to take what you’re good at and hone in on those skills rather than wasting time on things that are not in your wheel house. Our facilitator will help us look at our individual personality types and how we can learn to “shine our talent” to live a more fulfilling life and focus on things that we can contribute best for our personal and business success.

FINANCE: IT’S MORE THAN JUST A BUDGET! The first rule of financing is to hire an expert; but that doesn’t get you off the hook for knowing the inner workings of your company’s budget or the key operating indicators at work in this sales channel. This session will cover the metrics you need to be mindful of in order to place your company on the right track for success instead of headed over the financial cliff.

MUSIC LICENSING & ENTERTAINMENT AT LIVE EVENTS Music often is an integral part of conventions and meetings, whether incorporated during general sessions to support the overarching message or meeting theme, in breakouts and more. Meeting and convention organizers may not think twice about playing a CD, connecting their iPhone or streaming from sources such as Spotify or Pandora at an event, but the setting may subject them to liability under copyright law.
MICHAEL OWEN
Managing Partner, EventGenuity, LLC
Choosing the right live entertainment can add prestige to live events, help tell your story and generate excitement and energy, sending guests home with a sparkling new attitude. After you’ve signed the perfect entertainment for your event, the work begins in earnest. This session will explore the ins and outs of live performances including: • Why businesses and organizations need to be licensed to play music, what the license covers and what happens if music is used without permission • How to work with producers, management and artists to create a positive experience for all stakeholders – and your audience • How to navigate speedbumps and gotchas in contracts and performances.

HOW TO USE THE MARKET: TAPPING IN TO LOCAL & BUDGET-FRIENDLY OPTIONS Convention and visitors bureaus (CVBs) matter to the meeting planners and event professionals at DSA member companies. These organizations are the source of creative ideas, local connections and budget-friendly solutions that make any meeting a great success.
MARGIE MARBLE
Director of Sales and Conventions, Greater Des Moines Convention & Visitors Bureau
In this rapid-fire session, several CVBs will go beyond the typical sales pitch to provide specific examples of the added value that made them a true partner to an event that was a newcomer in their city. Participants will hear how CVBs have: • Shopped a new meeting to introduce it and its potential ROI to the local business and hospitality community • Sourced local entertainment, personnel and more to provide meeting planners with a positive experience in their market • Provided the insight that helped meeting planners get the most out of a city’s unique offerings.

With a proliferation of online marketers and anonymous bullies, it can be daunting to ensure that people who search for your company receive clean, untarnished results. Just one negative blog post or video can drain enrollments, reduce sales and sap your field’s motivation. What you might not know is you have a secret weapon to defending your online reputation: Your sales field. Your field is passionate and committed, and can be your company’s best advocate online. With the right messaging, training and implementation, you can leverage the power of this online army to improve your online reputation while steering them away from well-intentioned but often harmful online “defense” of your brand.

Join our faculty to find out about how state attorneys general investigate and prosecute pyramid schemes and ways that direct selling companies can establish and maintain collaborative dialogue with state AG’s. We will explore the broader and emerging industry issues that are being discussed by AG’s and discuss how to these specifically affect direct selling companies. Join as we find new ways to educate this important constituency on direct selling at both the state and national level.
