Direct Sales Tips: Use Showbiz To Grow Your Business

The Best Direct Sales Tips Ever!
(PART THREE)
Dr. Oz says eating bacon can lead to cancer...

OK, so I used a known name and a provacative leading line to get your attention. I'm not lying...I'm going to show you how you can grow your audience like Dr. Oz, Oprah, Dr. Phil...all of them do it!

First: You must have a way to contact your audience. Just like you're reading this issue of ACHIEVE to get some tips, you have to have readers. If you already have a list to email, awesome. If not, get busy working to put one together. It WILL pay off!

Second: Email consistently. If you've read me a while you know I'm big on consistency. I may not get an email out every single Tuesday (my goal), but at least by Wednesday you usually hear from me.

Third: Here's where Dr. Oz comes in. He (and almost all other TV hosts) use tantalizing info to get you to tune in. So as you're watching TV and putting a piece of delicious crunchy bacon in your mouth, he appears and says "Bacon found to lead to cancer...tune in today" you're apt to watch.

Like Dr. Oz, find some information people want and need. You can re-hash news, hot topics, etc., but just make it good and useful. Don't be shy about saying what you're offering to get people to open their email and READ.

Fourth: Be sure to follow through on what you promise. If you use a health tip from a top health show, then give links so people can read more and also make the rest of your ezine newsworthy. This is where you can get into what YOU are offering.

Fifth: Make it simple. White background, black lettering, colorful graphics that are linked and clickable always work. Keep clutter at a minimum and make it somewhat brief.

Sixth: Repeat again next week!
TIP 4: Coming next issue!

WAHM Business Tip: Are you "Dialing for Dollars?"

Get your FREE sample of this fun book!   Are you spending enough time following up?   You probably work like crazy to get good leads, have interesting promotions and book sales events. But are you so busy focusing on getting NEW leads that you forgot about OLD ones? Your "warm" leads (leads who have already met you/ bought from you, etc.) are the best source for new business...and new recruits. If they have purchased from you, then be sure to put them on your priority list for follow-ups. If you contact each warm lead each month (by phone, email or mail) you will certainly find yourself with higher sales. It's easy to forget, get busy, get re-focused, etc., however if you establish a "tickler file" to keep yourself on track you will find it much easier. These files can be physical or electronic and will keep you in constant contact with your customers and potential customers. Another method is to s...

INTERVIEW: Lynne Cooper Hall - Younique Opportunity: See New 3D Lashes!

1. Tell us about your business opportunity--what do you represent? Younique Minerals Cosmetics 2. How long have you been involved with this? How did you get into it? I fell in love with the 3D lashes by Younique because I discovered that fake lash glue has Formaldehyde in it!! Like the stuff in embalming fluid! The Younique 3D mascara uses all natural green tea fibers (I could almost hear my eyes saying thank you!). It was soon after finding the 3D lashes that I realized that ALL the other products that Younique offers have the same amazing results with none of the nasty, fillers, paraben free, talc free, never tested on animals and hypo-allergenic. I started my business in 2013 and we've been steadily growing ever since! 3. What type of team members are you looking for? I am looking for people who love to chat, share their experiences, network and grow their business by sharing about amazing naturally based make up! This is a GREAT business for WAHM’s because the plat...
