The Direct Selling Legal & Compliance Summit (DSLC) is BACK and this year we'll be hosting this extraordinary conference in Salt Lake City! Save the date - January 19-21, 2020.

Inc. Magazine has recognized Momentum Factor, a leading global provider of online risk mitigation applications and services, amongst the fastest growing companies in the U.S. on its annual Inc. 5000 rankings for the third year in a row.

The bottom line for direct sellers is that if the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) loses its 13(b) authority, it loses its punch. Legitimate direct selling companies do not fear squaring off against the FTC so long as they are not blind-sided.

Momentum Factor, a leading online compliance and brand protection software and services firm, was named one of Austin's "Best Places to Work" for the second straight year by Austin Business Journal. Hundreds of companies applied for the ranks, with metrics including trust in senior leadership, career development opportunities, culture, and perks and benefits. The firm picked up the award in 2018 as well.

Momentum Factor is pleased to announce new recruiting and talent acquisition services specializing in legal and compliance in addition to IT, software, data, operations and logistics.

For the first time in direct sales history, a truly independent self-regulatory body has been created to enforce social media and marketing rules among all direct selling companies, and their independent sales force. Join Momentum Factor's CEO Jonathan Gilliam and DSSRC Executive Director Peter Marinello for a lively webcast conversation on April 4th about how your company can stay out of hot water with this powerful new enforcement entity.

Momentum Factor is taking a major step forward in bringing Artificial Intelligence (AI) to direct sellers to help them deal with the massive task of managing and enforcing compliance online.

Momentum Factor CEO Jonathan Gilliam recently interviewed Peter Marinello, Executive Director of the Direct Selling Self-Regulatory Council (DSSRC) to learn how the program will impact the compliance function of direct sellers.
