Remember that people are constantly hearing about bad things happening on the internet. From viruses to scams to perverts, it's all out there. I focus on the benefits. My mom (76 years old) finally got a facebook page to connect with her grandkids and see pictures. Just remember that the perceived benefit has to be higher than the perceived risk, in order for people to participate. The medial spends a lot of time focusing on the risk!

The advent of social media allows us to connect and form relationships with people all over the world; we never know if one of these "relationships" we've nurtured could be our next customer. Change is good and social media could prove to be a real boon to your direct selling business, if you'll allow yourself to be open to the possibility. If you don't know where to start, take a class like Jennifer's that will point you in the right direction. Cheers!!

After taking your social media course for Direct Sellers over the summer I am now much more comfortable using Facebook. I am encouraging people to take your classes to learn about all the benefits of using social media with their direct sales business. It's a huge benefit! I am truly enjoying all the new friendships I've made on Facebook and it's tons of fun. Thank you!!!
