I discovered how to use the phone to create rapport with my clients and provide value right over the phone... Instead of dreading the phone, I was looking forward to connecting with my clients and finding out how I could be of service to them.

Linda Sturdivant is a direct sales professional with 20+ years’ experience. Starting, as many do, with booking the occasional show and purchasing products for herself, she found that what worked for that level of business no longer worked when looking to ramp up to higher sales and growing a larger team. Traditional training only helped a little in both areas. It was not until she combined her own experience with learnings from a variety of classes and training that something almost magical happened.

When Linda discovered how to communicate with her clients and team members in a way that builds rapport while delivering massive value, everything changed! Now she is on a mission to share those insights with others who are looking to serve others and accomplish their goals of growing sales and teams.

Hi, I’m Linda Sturdivant. I wanted to take a minute and introduce myself and respond to the question you probably already have in your mind. Who is Linda Sturdivant? I am a direct sales professional with over 20 years experience. I was not an overnight success. For the first 5 years of my career, I was a “hobbiest.” I booked the occasional show and made up my minimum sales requirements with my own personal purchases. I was working as a labor and delivery nurse on the evening shift (3 PM to 11 PM) and I loved helping people have babies. I worked 3 to 4 days a week and three weekends a month. That left time to “dabble” in direct sales.

Then one day something happened. Our youngest son was struggling in school. He was going to need additional support with his studies from us. So, I announced that I was going to quit my job to make sure our son was successful in school. My husband asked, “How will we send the kids to college if you quit your job?” I replied, “I’ll work my direct sales business and save money for college.” I intended to work my direct sales business around my family’s schedule.

I was determined, but really didn’t know how to build my business. I tried all the ideas I could find. I read books, listened to audios, watched videos and attended training events. It was challenging to say the least. I “stepped outside my comfort zone” over and over again. Yet, something was missing. My results were sporadic at best.
