Inspirational stories from entrepreneurs in direct sales, network marketing and social selling.

“Network marketing is sharing something you love.”

- Christie Nix, Isagenix Leader.

Each story tells an inside account of the highs and lows of running a successful network marketing business, in a time when the industry is moving past outdated-skepticism to become a high-value channel. These are the leaders who leveraged the direct sales business model in a digital and social environment to create a better life for themselves and their families.

Penny Legends is a celebration of the unsung talent within the direct sales industry.

So why Penny Legends in direct sales? And why now?

In the last year we have seen major shifts…

  1. Shifting to flexible work schedules, working from home and a greater demand on parents to juggle their work around their kids’ schooling and activities
  2. Shifting our online purchasing habits to look for something personal and tailored for us, supporting small business owners and consciously developed products
  3. Shifting careers to align with our values and beliefs so we can make an impact

These shifts are not new. They have been developing over the years while people search for a way to have it all. 2020 accelerated this shift again as many businesses moved to working from home, schools and daycares were disrupted, countless people lost their job or feared losing it in the coming months. People started looking for an alternative way to earn money that would give them control over their future.

Along the way, the world reembraced direct sales. People started to recognize it as an ideal business model for a flexible, value-based career path.

What’s the purpose behind Penny Legends?

For those that are part of the direct sales industry, we hope to tell your story one day.

For those that are new, we hope to inspire and share invaluable knowledge.

For us at Penny, it’s a way to celebrate and admire the incredible community we get to work with and help grow every day.

We hope you enjoy reading these inspirational stories!
