Judy Spencer, Emerald Director with Amway joined the company as a registered consumer, where as a home maker, she would buy goods for her home at a discounted rate. But soon she plunged completely into the network business. Today she has more then 6,000 down line and a steady income. Describing her success story she said she made people aware about the benefit they would get though the company, held community meetings. Her business rose by leap and bound from work of mouth and recommendation.

Again, Kenny Dale in Kansas City had a roofing business 30 years ago. An unusually violent tornado hit Kansas City a few years ago. It left thousands of shake shingle roofs in wreck. Demand for roof repairs far exceeded local contractors' abilities to meet them. Kenny realized here was a long-term opportunity for him. The day after the storm Kenny called all the local television news programs. He described his operations and credentials, and expertly instructed desperate viewers how to use plastic sheeting, heavy wood staples and plywood to create an effective temporary roof. Kenny became his own very effective public relations consultant. Kenny and Judy are a prime example of a small business owner's inborn ability to combine their own resources with basic public relations techniques to achieve excellent result.
