About Jill Katzenberg: Jill Katzenberg is a gratitude consultant who believes success in network marketing begins with genuine connection. She guides entrepreneurs to use gratitude as their greatest tool, transforming simple acts of kindness into stronger relationships, bigger opportunities, and lasting impact. For Jill, gratitude isn't just a practice; it's a movement. In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Jill Katzenberg discuss: How gratitude became Jill’s most powerful business-building tool. The difference between appreciation marketing and traditional outreach. Why printed and digital cards create deeper client and team connections. How direct sellers can stand out in a saturated market through relationship-building. Real-life stories of how small acts of kindness created massive emotional impact. Key Takeaways: Gratitude is a business multiplier — the smallest heartfelt gesture can create loyalty that marketing alone can’t buy. Standing out doesn’t require louder promotions; it requires a deeper connection, especially in industries overflowing with competition. Printed cards still matter. In a world drowning in digital noise, something tangible feels personal, rare, and meaningful. Consistent appreciation builds trust, and trust builds teams. It strengthens customer relationships and empowers your downline. At its core, appreciation marketing is about recognizing people, seeing them, and reminding them they matter — and that changes everything. "Let's be honest, most people don't need or want a second job. If they're going to do something to earn extra dollars, then they want to have fun doing it." — Jill Katzenberg Connect with Jill Katzenberg: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/5stardiva/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jillkatzenberg Connect with Jennie: Website: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/ Email: jennie@badassdirectsalesmastery.com Facebook personal page: https://facebook.com/jbellingerPL Facebook podcast page: http://facebook.com/BadassDirectSalesMastery Facebook group for Badass Crew: https://facebook.com/groups/BadassDirectSalesMoms Instagram: https://instagram.com/BadassDirectSalesMastery Personal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedirectsalesdomme/ LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/BadassDirectSalesMastery The Badass Direct Sales Mastery Podcast is currently sponsored by the following: Bella Grace Elixir: https://shopbellagrace.com/?ref=jenniebadassdirectsalesmastery LeadBuddy Digital Marketing: Use code BDSM when checking out at https://leadbuddy.io/pro-monthly-9310?am_id=jennie582 Show Notes by Podcastologist: Angelica Rayco Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
