I enjoyed this series, but it's for MLM marketers. So, it was mostly irrelevant to me, unfortunately. I didn't know the MLM lingo well enough to realize this, so not going to dock them for it. Answered a ton of the questions I had about MLM and gave me a few ideas I could use marketing my own business... so, all things considered, I got about as much out of it as I would have if it'd been about running a startup like I thought, ha.

I was intersted to understand why people use direct selling, I only partially got a response. Some parts are relevant for any business, some very specific to some sort of direct selling technique (if which I never heard in Europe).

ACTUALLY READ "HOW TO START A SALES REBELLION" BY DALE DUPREE
However, it is not on Amazon... so I selected this as a placeholder on my Goodreads...

I liked Dana Phillips' stories, suggestions and ideas but I felt that Neil Phillips' input seemed more like basic business information. I majored in business so I really wasn't intersted in what Neil brought to the table.

I read this as a sales book and it has some good techniques but it is designed for network marketers (mlm)
