MLM Business for Women, Don't get in the way

Are there special considerations when working with women in network marketing? Do men understand that needs and motives of women in network marketing? Is network marketing for women? Do women and men really communicate that differently? On the web site for Direct Selling Women Alliance it says that there are 14 million people in direct selling in the United States and over 55 million worldwide doing an estimated 97 billion dollars in sales. 79.9% of all direct sellers are women. If your a man in direct selling, it might help you do find some answers to these question.

I personally have found, working with women in my organizations, they are more communicative, more open to share their goals and motives. I have been told on several occasions that they hope this business is a way they can show what they are capable of. I guess I can identify with that, because I feel like this business is a great way for me to show some of my untapped potential. Again on DSWA it says woman see direct sales as a unique and empowering profession. I think the bottom line is that if you are in tune with or at least open to women's ideas, thoughts and needs, you are going to be much more successful in providing your organization what they need.

I read an article more than 10 years ago about women in politics. In this article, it said that women in Washington were usually making more progress in furthering their goals and agendas then male politicians. It made reference to these women politicians being less dogmatic and more flexible: saying that they were more open to the process of give and take when trying to advance their agendas. It made reference to their ability to reach out to their opponents asking for a more collaborative solution. You want this, I am trying to accomplish this, so what can we do to help both of us get what we want. Or, what areas do we agree on to so we can get something done.

Although I have never served in Washington, that article has always stood out to me. It has been one of the influences that motivate me to describe myself as a collaborative thinker. I often tell people that they don't have to know everything or be good at everything, but when we work together, we can benefit from each other's strengths and try to minimize our weaknesses.

This usually help people feel more comfortable, giving the chance to be themselves and bring in fresh ideas. This always adds positive things to the work at hand. I have noticed that some people in the past have perceived this as weakness, but usually it's the results tell the full story in the end.
