This book really explained how network marketing works, gave me the words to explain it to others, the benefits and even ideas for actually growing my business outside of begging friends to have product parties at their homes. It is the most valuable book I've read this year.

I love Mary's books. They're always good!

This is an interesting book that I almost did not read. The reason being, full disclosure here is that I am not really a fan of network marketing per se.I know people have made a lot of money with it. I know that companies like Amway and Mary Kay offer people a great and vibrant way to make a living but it’s just not my thing, not the way I like to do business. But then…This book intrigued me. It kept calling me back. For some reason I felt that I might learn something from this book by Networking expert Mary Christensen so I finally picked it up one Friday afternoon and gave it a read. And you know I was right. There was a lot in this book then I ended up learning from. No I have to admit that I still will never be a network marketing person. I am not one of those people that interested in person to person sales but here is what I did learn from this book.I learned how to grow a network of qualified .buyers. They do not have to be buyers in a direct marketing chain, but they are my customers the kind of customer I sell my consulting services to.I learned how to use social to grow my own personal base. The chapter on social media is excellent.I learned how to better get along with people, how to not only exchange ideas, but also how to help one another so that we can all succeed.I learned how to create my own network of like-minded people. Not to sell things to one another but rather to help one another succeed in selling our goods and services to common customers; and how to put our skills and services together in a cooperative and complementary way offering our customers and deeper and wider solution.I learn how to be a better communicator. How to more effectively get my message across and how to better relay my story to my customer base.So in the end I did pick this book up and I did read it and I did learn quite a bit. As I said earlier I will never be a Network Marketing leader in the way the people in this book are. But I will be a better marketing person based on what I learned in this book.So all I can say is whatever your personal preference. Whatever you are selling this is still a book you should read and learn from.

Mary has been in the DS world for so long, her experiences shape how she shares her journey. If you are willing to listen & learn, then implement the advice given in this book... I promise you will become a Network Marketing Leader! Lead by example, create a kind & helpful culture and love your people hard!

I love all of Mary Christensen's books and her latest one is no exception! If you are wanting to build a network marketing/direct selling team and business then this book is definitely a must read! I love Mary's writing style that is so easy to read and the way she makes it so easy to actually apply and put into practice all of the gems that she is teaching me through her book. Although I am new to direct selling I have definitely been keen to build a team but I haven't had the best example of how to be a great leader and this book is exactly what I needed! I can't wait to use all that I am learning.

Mary is inspirational. My book arrived, and I read it cover to cover immediately. Easy to read, and jam packed with ideas to implement. I then found myself over the weekend picking it back up and rereading sections. This is one book that will not gather dust on my shelf! If you are serious about creating a business in network marketing - you need this book.

I could listen to Mary all day - And I know if I do what she says that I will grow my business and become a better leader. Every time I pick up this book, I learn something else that I can put into action. Thanks Mary!
