Hi there! I would highly recommend "The Direct Sales Bible" by Beverly J. Avant. It covers everything from building a successful business to effective sales techniques. Another great read is "The Four Year Career" by Richard Bliss Brooke. Both of these books have been extremely helpful in my own direct sales journey. Happy reading!
