MLM Business for Women, Don't get in the way

Women in network marketing have unique motives and needs. I think you need to consider important issues of flexibility, and patience. They did not sell millions of the book, "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus" because everybody has it figured out. On the web site for the Direct Selling Women Alliance today, I read that there are 14 million people in direct selling in the United States. There's over 55 million worldwide doing an estimated 97 billion dollars in sales. When you look at the total of direct sellers, women make up 79.9%. Statistics like that tells us that if we are not sensitive to women's issues, we will be missing out.

I personally have found, working with women in my organizations, they are more communicative, more open to share their goals and motives. I have been told on several occasions that they hope this business is a way they can show what they are capable of. I guess I can identify with that, because I feel like this business is a great way for me to show some of my untapped potential. Again on DSWA it says woman see direct sales as a unique and empowering profession. I think the bottom line is that if you are in tune with or at least open to women's ideas, thoughts and needs, you are going to be much more successful in providing your organization what they need.

I read an article more than 10 years ago about women in politics. In this article, it said that women in Washington were usually making more progress in furthering their goals and agendas then male politicians. It made reference to these women politicians being less dogmatic and more flexible: saying that they were more open to the process of give and take when trying to advance their agendas. It made reference to their ability to reach out to their opponents asking for a more collaborative solution. You want this, I am trying to accomplish this, so what can we do to help both of us get what we want. Or, what areas do we agree on to so we can get something done.

Although I have never served in Washington, that article has always stood out to me. It has been one of the influences that motivate me to describe myself as a collaborative thinker. I often tell people that they don't have to know everything or be good at everything, but when we work together, we can benefit from each other's strengths and try to minimize our weaknesses.

At this point, I see them relax and start to be themselves. This is when I get to really see what they have to bring to the table. It is almost always good, and results in fresh ideas. In the past, I have had some people express doubts about this method, but in the end, the results speak for themselves.
