Nancy Burke of the Direct Selling Association on Membership and Dues

Through the Noise #292

Nancy Burke // Vice President, Membership // Direct Selling Association

Nancy Burke sits down with Blake and Ernesto to talk about a segment of the large economy that occasionally goes unnoticed and is often left out of larger discussions about employment. Direct sales are a way for companies to hire people as contractors and for 20 million Americans to earn money through sales but without being stuck in a traditional retail environment. Nancy Burke is the Vice President of Membership for the Direct Selling Association and the DSA represents the ~150 companies that employ the sales force. A couple you may have heard of — or used — are Avon and Mary Kay.
