The most recent studies state that leaders who discount soft skills like communications, training and storytelling do so at their own peril. The cost to a company of 500+ employees is approximately $6,253,000 per year in reduced productivity, brand degradation, employee retention and lost business. As a startup, midsize business, or Fortune 500 direct sales company, can you afford the high cost of miscommunication of your brand story, new product launch, or compensation plan? Learn about the gaps that lead to miscommunication in hybrid and remote working models of a direct sales company, the three costly assumptions about communication, and more.

You’ve done all you can to design a legal compensation plan. Is that enough to protect you from violations of regulations?

Learn how to do that in this session presented by a Compliance Expert.
Speaker: Jeff Jordan
