Industry Research Committee

Home Serve Industry Research Committee

The best industry research begins with the people closest to the questions.

DSEF’s Industry Research Committee (IRC) brings together senior executives and leading academics from across the direct selling community to identify and analyze emerging economic trends and business challenges.

Together, committee members build a body of trusted, third-party verified research that informs business decisions, supports education, and creates lasting value for our channel.

Why Serve?

You’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Collaborate with colleagues across the channel who are dedicated to advancing credible research.
  • Identify and analyze the questions and trends that deserve greater attention.
  • Engage with research findings and emerging insights before they are broadly released.
  • Contribute to a growing body of knowledge that benefits companies, direct sellers, educators, researchers, and future entrepreneurs.

Shape the Future of Direct Selling Research
