What's keeping you up at night?

For everyone starting a new business, it might be something a little different. Finances. Marketing. Product development. You know there's a gap, and you're not sure how to close it.

That's why we created the LaunchSmart Startup Workshop.

Over 12 hours of videos, presentations, transcripts, and worksheets, you'll learn from nine industry experts who will help you learn everything you need to know about building a directing selling business. From business strategy to social media campaigns, you'll gain a strong foundation in what it takes to turn your idea into reality.

We also help you apply what you're learning in the workshop.

Register for the LaunchSmart Startup Workshop, and you'll also receive a free, Launch-Ready Assessment ($999 value) that covers 10 vital business areas. We'll provide you with a full, custom report that reveals the areas most deserving of your immediate focus. Following the workshop, you'll have the option to meet one-on-one to review your report and your business.

And no, it's not a sales pitch. In fact, we guarantee you won't be pitched during the entire workshop.

If we do it right, you'll finish this online workshop with the knowledge you need to prioritize and follow through on the next steps for launching and growing your direct selling business.

Below, you'll find an overview of the eight areas we'll cover in this workshop.

1. Vital Growth Strategies: Your strategic plan will serve as the roadmap for every decision you make in forming and running your direct selling business. It should be completed early, with careful consideration given to each question. Unlike a business plan (which may be used to attract investors), the strategic plan for your MLM business start-up is for internal use. Complete candor is vital and we’ll walk through the best way to tackle it.

2. Money & Finance: Do you understand your money systems and how to secure capital to launch your direct selling company? We’ll explore the best practices for long-term success, including setting up your MLM business controls, company banking, payroll, and tax reporting.

3. Legal & Regulatory Best Practices: Distributor agreements, state registrations, and legal reviews are just a few of the things you’ll need to tackle in your MLM startup. You’ll also want to set up your legal entity and ensure you’ve filed for protection of your intellectual property. We’ll review the best practices for getting your direct selling business on a sound legal footing.

4. Branding, Marketing & the Web: How will you position you direct selling company? Do you know what kind of pricing strategy makes the most sense for your product or service? Plus, you need to create marketing materials for your MLM startup. Marketing is a battle of perception, not product. We’ll show you the best practices for getting your idea or concept into people’s minds.

5. Compensation Plans: Industry leaders recognize the make-or-break power of a great compensation plan. For most, it becomes their most important product whether they are a product-focused party plan company or a buying-club MLM opportunity. We’ll explain the best practices for designing and testing your compensation plan to fit your business.

6. Recruiting & Sales: One of the most important things you must accomplish in your direct selling startup is building your initial field sales force. It’s that first group of distributors who will drive the early growth and momentum of your MLM business. What are the best practices for building, training, and supporting your direct selling team?

7. Operations & Distributor Service: To support your distributors, you need an organizational backbone that can deliver. We’ll walk through operational best practices, includes tasks like selecting an office location, organizing your staff, and sourcing your products.

8. Technology in Direct Selling: Some owners and CEOs will tell you that the biggest challenge they face in their direct selling start-up is the feeling of no control over their technology solution. We’ll review the best practices for selecting software and setting up the technology department for your MLM business.
