DSA Ad Hoc QuickPoll Service

About DSA's Quarterly QuickPoll Service

DSA's QuickPoll Service is a free service available exclusively to DSA members, designed to offer you valuable industry knowledge and information necessary for positioning your company on the leading edge of the direct selling industry! It provides a snap-shot of how other direct selling companies handle day-to-day operating issues, offering focused answers for solving your own company's operating challenges!

If you find yourself curious about how your direct selling peers have handled any given situation, create a few simple questions and DSA will do the rest! Your questions will be distributed in conjunction with the queries of one or two other companies. The questionnaires will be distributed on a quarterly basis in March, June, September and December.

Not only will you receive answers and suggestions regarding you own curiosities, you will also be provided with insightful information sought out by your fellow QuickPoll participants. Both the companies submitting questions, and those responding to the poll will receive a full results report. The results are a combination of proven direct selling methods and solutions provided by fellow DSA Members - shared with participants, all at no charge!

This service is specifically designed to obtain insightful answers to industry-related questions…even questions you hadn’t thought of!
