美国前总统克林顿演讲全文

我很高兴有机会与许多帮助我们的经济发展的销售人员进行交流，帮助美国梦保持数百万美国人的生活。 在美国，如果你努力工作，遵守规则，如果你对自己和你的家人负责，你应该拥有一个更美好的未来所需要的机会。 这就是美国的基本交易。 这是我作为总统来推动的事情，直销工作有助于促进每个人和每一天。

你不仅要努力争取自己的成功，而且要为他人提供机会，来加强我们国家和经济。您也是促进企业和奖励个人主动性的全球运动的一部分，您在国内外看到显着增长。去年，直销业中有700多万美国人。平均每周有69,000名新分销商和销售人员加入您的行业。除了提供机会外，您还可以建立我们的美国社区。美国人从生活的每一个步骤，每一个信条，正在抓住直接销售的机会。超过30万你65岁以上，你们有50万以上有残疾。你们四分之三是女人，试图加强你们的家庭，培养强壮的孩子，而不用担心玻璃天花板会让你失望。以非常真实的方式，您的工作将促进我们在全球各地的价值观。现在全球有超过21,000,000名直销商在全球125个国家开展业务。

我已经跟随见证了你的行业增长多年了，甚至我很惊讶地得知，在俄罗斯有超过十万名直销商，在中国有超过60万的销售人员。但是我们需要更多的直接代表机会。毕竟，你的行业给人们一个机会，最大限度地利用自己的生命，对我来说，这是美国梦的核心。我感谢你保持强大的数以百万计的人，并将其扩大到更多的人每天。

感谢你的工作，上帝保佑你，上帝保佑美国。

Formal President Bill Clinton’s Speech on Direct Selling Marketing

I am delighted to have this opportunity to talk to so many of the salespeople who help our economy grow, and help keep the American Dream alive for millions of Americans. In America if you work hard and play by the rules, if you take responsibility for yourself and your family, you should have all the opportunity you need for a better future. That’s America’s basic bargain. It’s what I worked to promote as President, and it’s what the work of direct selling helps to promote each and every day.

You strengthen our country and our economy not just by striving for your own success, but by offering opportunity to others. You’re also part of a global movement that promotes enterprise and rewards individual initiative, and you’ve seen remarkable growth both at home and abroad. Last year there were more than 7 million Americans in the direct sales industry. An average of 69,000 new distributors and salespeople join your industry every week. In addition to providing opportunity, you build our American community. Americans from every walk of life, every creed, are seizing the opportunities of direct sales. More than 300,000 of you are over the age of 65. More than 500,000 of you have some kind of disability. Three quarters of you are women, trying to strengthen your families and raise strong children without the fear that a glass ceiling will hold you down. In a very real way your work promotes our values all around the globe. There are now more than 21,000,000 direct salespeople worldwide doing business in 125 countries.

I’ve followed your industry’s growth for years now, and even I was amazed to learn that there are more than 100,000 direct salespeople in Russia, and over 600,000 in China. But we need even more of the kind of opportunity direct selling represents. Your industry gives people a chance, after all, to make the most of their own lives, and to me that’s the heart of the American Dream. I thank you for keeping it strong for so many millions of people and for expanding it to more people every day.

Thank you for your work, God bless you, and God bless America.
