CEOs in Focus with Joe Mariano: Episode 321 of The Action Catalyst Podcast

Dan Moore was recently featured on the Direct Selling Association CEOs in Focus podcast with Joe Mariano. Listen to the featured episode below. Show Highlights:  The thing that differentiates Southwestern is our commitment to building character in young people. —Dan Moore It’s not the door-to-door sales, it’s what it teaches a person that’s key. Most people have preconceived notions of, “I’m not good at business,” or “I can’t talk to people.” When they practice, they learn that’s not true. —Dan Moore Live the best lives you can with the gifts you’ve been given and the opportunities put in front of you. Don’t worry so much about what other people think of you. —Dan Moore I think it’s important for me to still be in the field and with our recruiters, meeting new people. —Dan Moore Young people all want to be somebody. What they don’t know is how to get there. —Dan Moore Young people also really value honesty and transparency. Being straight up with people is really important and making sure our hearts are right around our mission. —Dan Moore We keep the door-to-door model because it helps us with our mission of building people. —Dan Moore If we push just for the dollars, we don’t get the mission. In the long haul, it requires a deeper purpose. —Dan Moore Dan’s final thoughts: It’s about taking that risk based on internal support that they can do well. I tell kids that having your own business through Southwestern Advantage won’t guarantee you won’t have any debt, but working part-time jobs will. The Action Catalyst is a weekly podcast hosted by Dan Moore, President of Southwestern Advantage, the oldest direct-sales company in America, and Partner with Southwestern Consulting. With more than 45 years in sales leadership and marketing management, Dan has a wealth of knowledge to share on how to make better use of time to achieve life, sales, and other business goals.

Jeff Kaufman

In this episode, Josh interviews Joe Mariano, the CEO of the Direct Selling Association, and Jeff Kaufman, Chair of the DSA’s Industry Research Committee. Key Podcast Takeaways :  Takeaway – 1: The Direct Selling Association is a case study for the growth of the gig economy. Generation Z will look to join the gig economy workforce as they are an entrepreneurial generation that also craves stability. Takeaway – 2: Trends as a whole, especially in retail, tend to leave out the fact that more innovation will occur to meet those trends and in turn create new trends. For example, the rise of Amazon and e-commerce will create short-term challenges but also long-term opportunity. Takeaway – 3: Like other industries, Direct Selling must continue to adapt and evolve to adopt new ideas and best practices, particularly with the rise of social media and localized commerce. Guest Bio: Joe Mariano joined the Direct Selling Association in 1985 and assumed the role of President in 2011. Previously, he was Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Mariano serves as chief executive officer of the Association with ultimate responsibility for all association programs and activities; he is charged with providing progressive association leadership, development and implementation of Association policies in the fields of government, consumer and international affairs. He has been responsible for representing the Association’s interests in all fifty state capitals and on Capitol Hill. He serves as a personal resource to direct selling companies who need overall guidance on general legal and business trends that affect direct sellers both in the US and worldwide. Jeff Kaufmann was the Director of Customer and Field Insights at Isagenix, a leading health and wellness direct selling company based in Arizona. Jeff is also the Chair of the DSA’s Industry Research Committee. Previously, Dr. Kaufman worked for Avery Office Products, ConAgra Foods, and Kraft Foods, and was awarded the prestigious Ogilvy award in Advertising Research in 2005. About the Direct Selling Association: DSA is the 109-year-old not-for-profit national trade organization representing 130 direct sales firms, and their 6.2 million direct sellers, and more than 36 million customers. The Association's mission is "To protect, serve and promote the effectiveness of member companies and the independent business people they represent. To ensure that the marketing by member companies of products and/or the direct sales opportunity is conducted with the highest level of business ethics and service to consumers."
