My husband, John, and I have been in different Network Marketing Organizations since the 1980’s.  My journey with DirectMatches started back in the spring of 2005.  I was advertising online for my business with a well known Health & Wellness Company.  Howard Winwood sent me an invitation to advertise on DirectMatches.  I signed up for free, placed a profile and began receiving contacts and mail just like everyone else. 

Pretty soon, I began to receive letters from DirectMatches letting me know about new members who had been added to my downline.  This puzzled me since I had not done anything with DirectMatches up to that point.  I continued to receive these messages on a regular basis.  By this time I had decided to upgrade to Customer.  I read about DirectMatches in the Back Office and I read all the correspondence which I had received from DirectMatches. 

Finally, I had to know why I was receiving all these emails so I called Howard and asked him about it.  He told me he had been placing people under me.  This excited me, since I knew he was helping me build my business.  So I decided to upgrade to Executive and began building the business.  

I could not be happier that I had made the decision to build a DirectMatches’ business!  My husband, John, at first was not interested in building the business.  I would come home from work and work from about 6 to 9 or 10 every night.  I received my first commission check four months after I was introduced.  Back then we did not have the Power Pay Plus Bonus which we have today and which gives the member a check quicker.  I continued to build the business. 

Over a period of months, John saw the commission checks growing.  John began to be interested and soon started to help me by placing ads on the Internet.  Then one year after I started, John signed up as an Executive and began to build his own business.  This was in April of 2006. 

In August of 2006, John was able to retire 6 years early from his job because of the commissions we were making on DirectMatches.  Then in November of 2006, I totally quit my Accountant job with the Navy after 14 years and came home also.  John and I have been home ever since building our business together.
