Episode 375: Why Recruiting Feels So Hard in Direct Sales (And How to Fix It)
Tue Feb 03 2026
On this week of The Melanie Mitro Show, I’m tackling one of the most avoided topics in direct sales: team building. I talk about why I believe recruitment often feels harder than it needs to be, the stories we tell ourselves that hold us back, and practical strategies to overcome fear and build confidence.
You’ll learn how to structure your month for sales and team growth, why taking imperfect, courageous action is key, and how to measure success in recruitment by conversations and conversions, not likes or views.
I also share personal stories from my own journey, including flopped events, practice techniques, and why committing to the long game is what separates those who build thriving teams from those who quit too soon.
