Just wondering who belongs to the Direct Selling Women Alliance? Any benefits from it?
 
I thought about it. I've taken advantage of a few of the free things they've offered. I just can't justify the expense to myself. I'd be curious to know if anyone belongs, too.
 
I am on their emailing list, but I need to focus on my business first before I add anything new.
 
I've been thinking about it.....a cluster-mate of mine told me she really enjoys the benefits of being a member. I'm curious to here what other people like about it.
 
I've been to two trainings by one of their founders. They do EXCELLENT work. But I can't justify the $89 right now until I implement what I've learned already! My director signed up to be a member, though.

I *might* buy their Principle Centered Coaching audio set.
 
I get invited every month to a meeting but I have never gone.
 
I'm a member and really enjoy it. There are two teleclasses on Tuesday and Thursday nights. If you miss the teleclass, it is archived and you can listen to any teleclass when it's a good time for you.

Some teleclass presenters are Julie Weitz, Les Brown, Beth Jones-Schall, Caterina Rando, Belinda Ellsworth, Irene Meckley, Jack Canfield and more.

Plus, there are area DSWA chapters that you can join. There's an education center and an area to purchase books/workbooks; however, there is a slight discount for members to buy books.

You get a discount at Fedex/Kinko's (but I cannot find information on the site).

If you need any additional information, please send me a private message.

Thanks.
 
I wanted to check this out so I went to dswa.com. It brought up Delaware Solid Waste Authority. :D

The correct website is: Direct Selling Women's Alliance

Guess I should use the search engine more than just trying to type in a website.....lol

I'm in the same boat as Deb. The training was phenomenal and I heard just today that the coaching CD is awesome. I'm going to join as soon as I free up some $$ in the budget!
 
I was a member a couple of years ago, but to be honest, I think the support that we get from HO and Chefsuccess is a lot better and much more economical.
