This call was packed with great info as Kristie T. gave us a taste of the “Tell and Sell” Stories Workshop she has put together just for Profit, Purpose and Beyond.  You will want to listen with pen and paper at the ready to take notes.

I also answered a TON of questions about the event itself.  So, give it a listen!  And, make sure you get your name on the Waiting List.  I feel certain that everyone who wants a seat will have one - I just need to know who you are!!

Q. What is a Virtual Speakers Series?

A. A virtual speakers series is an opportunity to hear world class speakers, just like a live speaker’s series, with the added benefit that participants can attend from anywhere in the world without leaving their home or office.

Q. Will the speakers be speaking just to leaders in the Direct Selling industry?

A. Yes! Each speaker will be offering his or her expertise in the context of your business. So, unlike going to hear them speak to a general audience, you will gain insight and knowledge that applies specifically to you and your direct selling business.

Q. How do I take part?

A. All you need to take part in the Profit, Purpose and Beyond sessions is a phone. To run the series, we use tele-conferencing technology to link you to all the experts and other participants using your landline phone.

You simply dial the tele-conference number, enter a pre-assigned code, and you are ready to roll! It’s really easy and all the relevant instructions will be sent to you prior to the event.

Q. Are there any additional costs to attend?

A. The great thing about attending a virtual event is that there are no travel costs, no hotel bills, you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your own home. The only extra cost you do have to plan for is the long distance charge(s) if you don’t have an all inclusive, unlimited minutes long distance plan.

Q. Do I have to attend every session to benefit?

A. When you attend each session you get to experience all the action “live and uncut” and you have the opportunity to interact with the experts on the call. This level of inter-activity can really enhance your experience.

I also know that you are super busy and simply cannot devote 9 hours+ to hear every speaker. So, I am recording each call and will post that recording within 48 hours so that you can listen to and benefit from each and every expert.

Q. Are the CD’s available for separate purchase?

A. No. As part of my agreement with our world-class speakers, the CD’s are only available to Gold and Platinum level participants. CD sets will not be available for purchase after the event.

Q. I live outside of the US. Is there an affordable way for me to participate live in Profit, Purpose and Beyond?

A. I am so glad you asked! We have teamed up with a wonderful technology company that will give us the ability to webcast each presenter live. You will also be able to instant message your questions for our presenters in real time. So if you have an internet connection wherever you are, you can benefit from LIVE participation.

Our third and final FREE preview call will be this Thursday, Sept. 6 at 1 pm EST.  Kristie T of Webmomz will be giving us a sneak peak of a workshop she’s designed exclusively for Profit, Purpose and Beyond. You won’t want to miss that.  And I will be on hand
to answer any of your quetions about the event. Here is the call information (click on

Kathleen Lindley-
Las Cruces, NM
Q. You mentioned a ” Packet” to give to us? Is that via email or post office?
A. Kathleen is talking about a “packet” that Kim is giving to each participant. Several speakers will have things like this and you will be able to pick them up either as part of the bonus package or at our private participant blog. These packets will reinforce all that you will learn in each workshop.

Anita-Salt Lake City, UT
Q. Any suggestions for being able to stick to that ever important schedule? It seems like I’m always reacting to what is happening instead of doing what is on my schedule.
A. What a great question Anita! I will be teaching my Success Calendar class as part of Profit, Purpose and Beyond to address that very challenge! You will learn how to set up your work calendar so that you know exactly what you are doing each day AND how to deal with inevitable interruptions! When I teach this class to leaders, I hear 1)how much they need it and 2) how much it changes their lives!

Cynthiia Merritt-Atlanta
Q. Can you give some tips to revive your team or downline, when they have given up?
A.I know Marcia Wieder will address this in her presentation, so I won’t elaborate too much now. The one thing you can do is to help them tap into THEIR dream (not your dream for them) for their business. It may be something small like earning enough money for soccer shoes or dance lessons. Help them achieve that small win and you will be amazed at the re-charge they will experience.

Karen-Rosamond
Q. Dealing with family, friends and immediate contacts…how do we transition into introducing our product or service without them feeling your talking to them for one reason only…to make a sale?
A.This is a great questions and one I know Kim Fulcher will spend more time on in her presentation. She mentioned it today when she said, “Focus on what problem you can solve for them.” Ask questions; get to know what problems they have that you and your products can solve. Then offer a solution that is meaningful to them. You want them to know you are interested in serving them (another term Kim used) rather than making a sale.
