What event leaders say
From the stage
“Rob Sperry is a valued friend, trusted advisor and an integral part of Direct Selling News.I trust his judgment, respect his integrity and appreciate his commitment to helping others succeed. Through his ‘What’s Working’ podcast, articles and countless contributions to Direct Selling University events, Rob delivers practical, relevant content. His insights consistently resonate with our audience. I confidently recommend him to anyone seeking a partner who understands direct selling and cares deeply about its future.”
“Rob has been a delight and a true strategic partner to our team.As a keynote at our convention, Rob coached our field on data-led, key growth steps to increase their business today, and we are seeing an increase in our most important KPIs as a result. Rob has also been working with our corporate team behind the scenes on initiatives we're preparing to bring to the field to continue building on his keynote.
What makes partnering with Rob so valuable is his experience building a business in the field himself, so he knows what it takes, and how well he understands what the corporate side needs as well. He represents both sides with such balance, and there are very few people who can do it like Rob does. For me, he's one of the best in the business.”
“Before working with Rob, our 16-year-old company had plateaued.Over the past year, his consulting, keynotes, trainings, and mastermind events have made a huge difference. The data he shared made it clear that leadership development, simple systems, and step-by-step training were essential. At our recent 4-day IMPACT Conference, we saw more field engagement than we've had in years, and income-producing activities are up across the board.”
“I've worked with Rob for well over a decade.His strategies and insights propelled sales leaders in our company to break records, increase profits and change lives. The wealth of knowledge and connections he's collected over the years make his masterminds a must-attend event, and his books are the go-to source for leadership wisdom. The entire marketing channel is better today because of him. I'm so grateful for the incredible impact he has made in our company and the entire channel.”
“Rob Sperry brings an interesting, thought-provoking perspective to the network marketing profession,drawing on his experience in field leadership, corporate consulting, and lessons from our industry's history. Through his books, training, and the community of professionals he's brought together, Rob encourages important conversations about what works, what doesn't, and what it takes to build businesses that last. I appreciate his commitment to facilitating these important conversations for the future of our profession.”
