About

Hi, I’m Jonathan. I help build and drive growth for direct selling companies, help them tell their stories, inspire their brands and leverage social media to engage their field and customers. I help build credibility, loyalty and authenticity to create environments for growth.

Importantly, I truly believe in the direct selling industry and its power to help millions of people.

In short, I build a platform for momentum. A momentum factor, if you will.

A little about me…

I am fortunate enough to have a unique combination of both Fortune 500 marketing expertise and Direct Selling corporate experience.  I have led marketing both inside and outside the industry, giving me a valuable perspective like few others.

Previously I co-founded a successful direct selling company where I also served as Chief Marketing Officer. I founded and led a leading Internet security company, and served as a senior manager in marketing for one of the world’s largest consultancies.

A few notables about me…

• Featured speaker at the 2012 Direct Selling Association Annual Meeting. July 4-6 2012.
• Featured speaker at the 2011 Direct Selling Association BeConnected conference Dec. 2011
  
• I recently authored an article for Direct Selling News “Top 25 Mistakes Direct Selling Companies Make in Social Media.”
• I am a creator and host of the annual Direct Selling CxO Summit, a cutting-edge conference on urgent and emerging topics for the Direct Selling executive.
• Regular featured speaker at the Direct Selling Edge Start-Up Company conference.
• You can learn a bit about my thoughts about the future of the direct selling industry in a recent interview with Kevin Thompson and another interview with Ted Nuyten.
• Recently named to an industry “VIP” list where members are described as “The trusted advisors, consultants, authors, experts, the guys and gals who can make or break an opportunity or company or have high influence.”
  
• I recently presented to the Direct Selling Edge Conference Start-Up Conference about marketing and social media topics.
• You can view my Slide presentation on social media and the importance of authenticity to the American Network Marketing Professionals Annual Meeting 

I’ve been told I have an innate ability to understand what customers and potential distributors need to hear, see and feel to become comfortable with direct selling. 

After you work with me, others will tell you that your company feels like so much more.

More admirable. More compassionate. More fun. More successful.
