How to Have a Hotly Motivated Direct Sales Team

The true lifeblood of a home party plan business (direct selling) is bookings, right?

Yes and no.

The way to grow and get your products and services to others is booking and parties, sure, but the TRUE money maker in this industry is your team.

If you have a hotly motivated team, you're doing it right.

If you have a lukewarm monthly result from your team, you need to learn how to inspire them and this is most easily done by TEACHING them what works so they start to see results ( = money in their pocket) and they get motivated to do it again, and again, and again...

Here are 3 easy ways to get a HOTLY MOTIVATED TEAM:

1. Train them well and often. This means have monthly training (in-person is the best). You can do this at meetings, via Skype, via email, via video...whatever you and your team responds to best. Training also means showing them things that work that they can implement immediately like social media techniques or new ways to show products and use hostesses and models. Get creative and stay updated on anything new you can share.

2. Show them new ideas for marketing, booking and selling. This means doing it differently than every other XYZ consultant out there. Getting them booking tools that really work and showing them how to create a monthly consistent Calendar that brings in new recruits and referrals.

3. Staying motivated yourself. It's easy to get deflated during bad months, but just as easy to fake your way through it. So be real, but be upbeat and honest with your team. Someone who is consistently walking around with bluebirds on her shoulder isn't real. Let your team know the real you and get involved. A superstar seller who is having bad months suddenly? Find out why and offer guidance and support. A so-so recruiter is now having stellar results? Find out why and get her to share her secrets with the whole team.

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...

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?
