Top Direct Sales Superstar Interview... What she thinks works

Excerpt from Top Sellers Tell...Top Direct Sales Professionals Tell How They Achieved BIG Success!
From our interview with one Direct Sales Superstar! 

. . . . . . . . . .

What are your top tips for a fun, profitable party?

Put the focus on the hostess and the guests there. It is more important to know their names and to make them feel good, than it is to know every detail about the products that are being presented.  Have fun, be brief and be gone ... and if so, they will come back for more!
 

What advice can you offer to someone looking for a direct sales company to join?

Find a company that has products that you enjoy and can feel comfortable sharing.  The best business is a "consumable" product business because you make instant profit and people will re-order in the future.  Research to make sure that the company has a good hostess program which will create bookings and that the management program is achievable and lucrative for their future.

 

What about strategies for success? In your opinion, what will help someone succeed in a direct sales business? Many start, but only a few will attain success while others drop out. Why?

Answered in various questions above, but they need to be able to learn self-discipline and to take the work steps involved in order to have their dream.  Too many think it is going to be too easy and they don't invest in themselves with training and doing the "daily disciplines" such as making a contact list, and making consistent phone calls to build their client base.  At the first challenge or the first disappointment, they give up rather than reaching out to their Manager or Sponsor and asking what they can do differently in order to become successful.

 
What about managing your day-to-day business? How do you stay focused on growing your business when laundry needs to be done or other distractions beckon?

By having a "to do" list and trying your best to stick to the priorities that will build your business.  There will always be distractions, but ask yourself "Does this really need to be done now?" or "Is this an effective use of my time?"  Is it building work or is it busy work?  If it is busy work, then try to delegate it - whether it is paying someone such as a high school student to help part-time or involving members of your family to help so that your business truly can be a family business where they cannot only contribute, but also feel a part of the success and feel good about the benefits received.

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...
