WAHMS: How to "get the job" as a personal consultant


Get The Job 
 


(From our book, GROW BIG 60+ Ideas for Party Plan Marketing)
 


When approaching new prospects for their business have you considered that you are really asking them for a job? You want to be their personal rep for whatever it is you sell. You are asking them to hire you and provide them with products and services. Therefore you may consider presenting them a “resume” to get the job. 

Develop a “sales resume” for yourself. Write it up like a standard resume, but you can be more creative with colors, adding photographs, etc. State your objective: To be your personal ___(company)___ Consultant. 

State your experience, education, etc. Even if you are new in business, you will have had some training from your company and a little experience working parties. If you have happy customers, add them as your references (be sure to check with them first before giving out their name and contact info).  

Make it interesting and a little witty. Add a picture of yourself working a sales party or providing services. This is fun marketing piece that your customer should enjoy. Hand it out during your sales parties. List your services, skills and products. Ask for the job at the bottom of the resume:

As your personal __________ Consultant
I will work hard to provide excellent service and products!
 

Hire me today and receive (a free gift, discount, gift with purchase, etc.)!
 
Mail this to your prospects and follow up in a few days to see if you got the job!Read more from GROW BIG!

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...
