Meet the Guest 

This week’s guest is Ann Sieg, an acclaimed author, and entrepreneur. Nearly losing everything, this life experience opened up a new world of opportunity for Ann. She took a failing business, refocused on doubling-down on her side-hustle, and took her business from $2,000 a month to $90,000 per month in three months. 

Starting Out with Direct Sales

Ann first started as a new mom with direct sales businesses, her first being Mary Kay. She wanted to earn some extra money. Ann then started exploring other direct sales businesses and later worked together with her husband in several companies together. 

Homeschooling her three sons, she taught them about entrepreneurship and business sales. After failing with direct sales, her son suggested that she go online and find her target audience. 

Finding a mentor, Ann started moving forward by partnering with her son, and they ended up doing $20 million in sales together over the next ten years. From here, Ann and her son, along with her team, started their first eCommerce business.

Discover how Ann built her original sale funnel with a free eBook, how she converts her initial clients into $5K clients and conversion rates, and how she injects her personal brand into her school and teaching.
