20 Direct Sales Lessons in 20 Years

After working in Direct Sales for 20 years, I have found a ton of HAPPINESS and also a ton of HARD LESSONS. I have learned A LOT about this industry, and what works and what doesn’t. I am sure that there are many more lessons than just 20…in fact, I had to make myself stop writing when I got to twenty, I could have gone on & on & on! Some are hard to face, and some are even a little cliche because they’ve been said over and over and over again. Here are 20 Direct Sales Lessons that stand out on top:YOU are the only person responsible for your success.

Your business, no matter how good or how not-so-good, is EXACTLY where you’ve built it. 

Whether you think you can or can’t, you’re RIGHT.

When you hit a low point, you HAVE to keep working; a high point will be just around the corner.

Most people quit before they give themselves a chance to SUCCEED.

Take risks. It’s not easy, but it’s WORTH it.

Companies create incentives to help you build a strong business…GO FOR THEM, always.

Whether you have 1 guest or 30, give your BEST party every time. 

If you say you’re going to do something, do it.

Attend EVERY possible training.

Don’t recreate the wheel, DUPLICATE what is working for others. 

Find someone you want to MODEL your business after, and learn as much as you can by watching them.

Touch your business EVERYDAY.

Stay away from the anchors, and surround yourself with the MOTORS. 

Dream in DETAIL.

WRITE out your goals.

HELP others, and start building a Team right away.

LEARN as much about the Company, the Industry, your Products, and your Clients as possible.

Utilize the RESOURCES your company gives you.

Complaining will get you no where. Cut the excuses and JUST DO IT.

Did any of these stand out to you? I’d love to hear about it in the comments below, or feel free to leave YOUR top lesson…afterall, I am always looking to learn more!

Happy Growing!~ Kim Denne

How to Approach Strangers with your Avon business

How to approach strangers with your Avon business

People always ask me…how do you approach strangers…

Everybody always asks me…WHAT DO YOU SAY….when you hand out sample packs/mini catalogs??

They say…“I just don’t know what to say”

Ready for it??? This is monumental…this is going to be a turning point in your career….pay very close attention…..you ready for it????……………..”Do you mind if I leave this with you?” 

-she’ll say……. “Sure, what is it?”
-and you’ll say…. “I help people with their beauty needs”. Don’t just say…I sell Avon. But say, I help people with their beauty needs, you peek their interest and open the conversation to…”really? what do you do?” or “how”.

**if she acts interested at all, you say…if you write your name and email down I can add you to my email list and you’ll be the first to see all the new products. A great way to remind yourself to do this is to put a post it note on the front of each sample pack or  mini catalog.

All you need to make your own is…………

-a mini catalog (Outlet or flyers) (optional)

-a mini opportunity booklet (or any opportunity flyer you have)

-Fundraiser flyer

-business card with a Coupon on it

- 1 or 2 samples (fragrance, cologne, lipstick bullet, etc.) 

 ****Side note: you can place everything inside a small snack bag or with the mini-catalog staple the flyer or insert the flyers inside the catalog

#1 Where do you put the mini catalogs/sample packs?

IN YOUR PURSE!!
IN YOUR CD VISOR
IN YOUR FRONT SEAT

**every Sunday….make up 25 mini’s….and put half of them in your purse and half of them in your CAR! Your job each week is to hand out 25 mini catalogs/sample packs a week to complete strangers…

Who do you leave them with??

*** EVERYONE!!!! When you go into the……

-grocery store, give it to the teller
-bank, send it in the tube
-gas station, give it to the clerk
-library, give it to the lady checking you out
-walmart, give it to the cashier
-doctor, leave some for the staff
-dollar store, give to the cashier
-WORK…leave in the BATHROOMS, breakrooms…
-servers….attach your bill to the mini catalog

ANYONE you come into contact with. And when you get really good at this…you not only go into the dollar store you intended to, but you go into the store NEXT DOOR! Why not? You’re already THERE!

AND WHAT DO WE SAY WHEN WE HAND THEM OUT????? “Do you mind if I leave this with you???”

Now one more thing that’s fun to do……

You CAN get some kiddy looking goody bags and a sticker book, mini notepads, and a pack of 64 crayons at your dollar store. Put some stickers, two sheets of paper folded over, 2 crayons, and a mini catalog packet. Hand them to rowdy kids in stores-the moms will love you.

Fun-Der-Ful ways to Connect with your Customers

Fun-Der-Ful ways to Connect with your Customers

®Copyright 2011 Christie Northrup

Mr. Lemon Aid and I travel quite a bit; we're headed to Connecticut early tomorrow morning.

I'm not a big souvenir shopper, unless it's a regional cookbook, but what I LOVE to BUY are postcards. Sometimes I mail them to my cute grandkids in Las Vegas, but mostly I bring them back home with me and then I

SEND FUN-DER-FUL MESSAGES TO CUSTOMERS, HOSTS AND PROSPECTS

Here are some examples:

1. Postcard from New York City showing Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges with my message for a recruit prospect:

Do you need a bridge to fill the gap between your bills (the ones you pay) and your bills (the ones you earn)? Let's talk about bridging any troubled financial waters..

2. Postcard from the Chattanooga Choo Choo for a meeting reminder:

"Choose choose you" to climb aboard the meeting express for great ideas and train-ing on date/time/place.

3. Postcard with skyline of Houston, Texas with an inset of a license plate sent to someone who completed leadership education:

You now have your license to lead a "Texas-size" team!

4. Postcard with picture of Florida beach and two empty beach chairs with the heading:

 "I've saved a spot for you."

 Mail this to a prospective host with a message on the address side: "on my party calendar. I have three dates open this month."

Look at postcards while you're traveling or in your hometown with a new TWIST. These are very inexpensive ways to impress customers and attract more business.  

Accidental Recruiting

Accidental Recruiting

                        ©Copyright 2011 Christie Northrup, The Lemon Aid Lady™

                    

Most direct sales consultants began their businesses by accident. They happened to be in the path of a consultant who "hit" them. Probably not in a literal sense. However, they could have been at a party and one of their friends hit their shoulder or knee and said, "You should be a consultant." Or maybe as a party guest, they had so much fun the thought "hit" them that they could do what the consultant is doing. Or, when they went to place a reorder for product, the idea "hit them" that if they were a consultant, they could service themselves and their friends. Perhaps they were "hit" when a consultant gave them a catalog or business card. Or when they saw a booth at a fair or an advertisement in a magazine.

Direct sales consultants who recruit the most, cause the most accidents!  The best way to have the most accidents is to be more active in your business.

Athletes have many more sports accidents than couch potatoes because they are on the
playing field. Young children have more accidents than adults because they are more curious and active. Commuters who drive to work have more car accidents because they drive more miles. There are no real statistics to back my opinion up, it's simply common sense. The more often you're in a situation, the more experiences you'll have in that situation.

The obvious direct sales model for recruiting more new consultants is that:
● The more parties you hold, the more recruits you'll meet.
● The more catalogs you give out and names you collect, the more people will ask about your
business.
● The more product you sell, the more people will be using your merchandise, the more curious  they'll be about how they'll make money telling their friends about what they use and love.
● The more contacts you make the more opportunity for people to "run into" you

The best insurance you have for success in your direct sales business is to create more and more happy, profitable accidents by recruiting.

It’s All About Them

by LYNN HUBER on SEPTEMBER 8, 2016

In order to be successful in Network Marketing, you need to find a way to motivate yourself to do the tasks that will make you successful.

One of the most important tasks is Prospecting.  It is your job to talk to people you meet.  Start a conversation with each person you meet and make it a point to get to know them.  Smile at people and just start chatting.  It doesn’t matter much what you chat about; it can be the weather, the necklace they are wearing, the long line at the check stand… anything to start the conversation.  Use every opportunity you can to chat with people, wherever you find them.

When talking with someone, remember that it is all about them!  We all have a little of that in us.  Think not?  Pay attention the next time you look at a group picture in which you are in.  I bet the first thing you look for is yourself in the picture.

Your job is to find out as much as you can about the other person while you are talking with them.  Ask questions, but be sure to ask questions that can not be answered with a Yes or a No.  You want to ask questions that will help you learn more.  Questions that will get them talking.

As you ask the questions, actively listen to the answers.  See how long you can keep asking questions until they ask you a question.  If you make it all about them and listen to what they have to say, you’ll be surprised at how easy it is to get them interested in what you have to say – and that’s half the battle!  

<—— Did this article help you? If so, it would mean a lot to me if you would share it with others!!! And, share your comments below!  I would LOVE to know more about you and your thoughts on this subject!

Let’s have some conversation!

EXPECT Success!

By Lynn Huber

p.s.  Forget about yourself completely and concentrate on helping the person you’re talking to.  Then you can’t go wrong!

Tomorrow is Payday for what we do today.

A great advantage in network marketing is that it is possible to do something today, and then get paid on it over and over again.

If we come into this business with a job attitude, seeking immediate rewards, we will be disappointed. Network marketing's strongest point is the chance for residual income. With this in mind, we might want to change some strategies.

For example, instead of pushing for a one-time retail sale, we might invest more time with this prospect in building a stronger relationship. Then, later we would approach the prospect about our business.

There is an old saying, "If you need money now, get a job. And if you want residual income for the future, start building your network now."

50 Leadership Secrets

People have come to expect, due to others embellishment of their success in network marketing, that network marketing is either a bomb or an overnight success. That’s hardly the truth. In consideration of the fact that many people will come, the people that become successful and stick with it will be people who are peace with these facts and suggestions and live their lives accordingly. This article was written based on information contained in an article “I’m In” in On-Line Magazine by Jonathon Schwartz, who at the age of 14 is the youngest network marketer and one with a large national network.

1. Make a total commitment to leadership for at least one year. Whether a total commitment for you is five hours a week or forty hours a week, stick with it for at least twelve full months.
2. Sell yourself first, then the product, and then the payment plan. Remember, nobody is going to work with you unless they first feel comfortable working with you.
3. Spend 90% of your business time with recruits, customers and prospects. These are the areas that make network marketing what it is today.
4. Present our products and earning opportunity to at least one person per day. If you only have half an hour to spend on your business, spend that time calling a new prospect. By the time your downline is so big you need more than a half an hour a day to do all of your work, you’ll be earning enough to take off more than a half an hour a day.
5. Let everyone know that you are in leadership. Advertise to everyone. The best way to do this subtly is by asking people you meet, ”So, what do you do for a living?” They will most likely tell you their occupation and then ask you the same question. You now have another lead.
6. Duplicate yourself in all of new reps you sign on. Do this by telling and showing them exactly what you do, then have them follow the process.
7. Motivate your downline every month by offering recognition, money, or prizes to the rep who sells the most. Inexpensive books about network marketing or sales make excellent prizes.
8. Mingle with top reps and ask how they made it. Free advice should always be appreciated and accepted with open arms.
9. Be persistent. Only one of twenty people you approach may get serious about leadership or sales.
10. Lead by example. Never stop selling, recruiting, or training. If your downline sees that you’re able to do something, they will do it, too.
11. Keep it simple. The best marketing strategies are those that your downline can easily copy and implement for themselves. The best network marketing companies have a marketing system that anyone can easily copy and implement for themselves.
12. Keep in touch with your downline and upline. Send out a monthly newsletter, make monthly calls, hold monthly meetings, send out monthly postcards, and always send out important information immediately.
13. When meeting with a prospect, conduct brief, simple, yet interesting presentations. Prospects become annoyed if a presentation is too long, too boring, or sleazy.
14. Listen 80% of the time, talk 20% of the time.
15. Concentrate on what you can do for your downline and customers, not on your own profits. By concerning yourself with others, your profits will rise on their own.
16. Give customers more than they expect. Everybody loves a free gift – “What goes around comes around.”
17. Don’t accept “no” as a final answer. “No” usually means “not now”. The vast majority of prospects will not sign up the first time you contact them. Be sure to follow up at least every 30 days with new information or another reason to join your company.
18. Speak enthusiastically about your business and products. If you aren’t enthused about them, then surely no one else will be, either.
19. Work on top priority projects that produce the most return. Nonetheless, always leave time for the less important things that are important in keeping your organization running smoothly.
20. Build your list of contacts daily while you build your reputation. The more reputable and well-known you become, the more your organization will grow.
21. Approach former top distributors. They are open. Often top distributors are looking for a new/better company to work with. If you contact them during their search, you’ll have an excellent prospect.
22. Fit the needs of a prospect with the benefits of your product and/or leadership. Remember, a rep does not force his/her product or the leadership opportunity onto a prospect – they accommodate their prospect’s needs.
23. Organize your files so that you can locate any piece of information immediately. You never know when a prospect will ask you about something you’ve filed away.
24. Use a quality answering machine or voice mail service with a professional greeting and return all calls within 24 hours. If you make a prospect wait too long, they will lose interest or select another offer.
25. Set daily, weekly, and yearly goals and commit them to writing. Remember that goals are simply dreams with deadlines, so do what is necessary to fulfill them.
26. Do not pass rumors upline or downline. Stop all rumors by going straight to the source and finding out the facts.
27. Listen to cassette tapes, read books, and watch videos made by network marketing superstars. It’s always necessary to be improving your skills.
28. Subscribe to network marketing magazines. While the information may not be as detailed as that in a book, magazines can offer valuable ideas and information.
29. Expand your organization nationwide. Think big, act big, and pretty soon, your income will be big.
30. Tell others, especially prospects, what they are interested in hearing, not what you think they should know. What you may think is the best aspect of a commission plan may not be what the prospect is looking for.
31. Spend money on things that will make you more money. Many things such as books and magazine subscriptions may not seem as though they will help increase your profits. Think again.
32. Schedule important tasks for the time of day at which you perform your best. For me that’s about 10 am.
33. Be sure to put a portion of your profits back into the business. By investing nearly $200 in advertising, your return could be ten times your investment.
34. Know that if others can do it (an we can), so can you. Most of the time there is nothing to hold you back except yourself. Let yourself go and achieve your full potential.
35. Give yourself a reward for reaching goals and a penalty for falling short.
36. Have a lot of fun in your business! This will give others another reason for joining you.
37. Write an outline of what you are going to say when you call a prospect. Be sure to include the key words and concepts you want to convey.
38. Write yourself a 30-second commercial. Include information about you, Avon, and why your opportunity is the best one available.
39. Sell the steak, not the sizzle. Prospects become annoyed if you add too much spice and sizzle to your presentation. Present the facts in a positive way, but don’t go overboard.
40. Decide today that you are going to succeed. Do whatever you need to do to succeed, and never let yourself think for one moment that you won’t.
41. Make a plant today. Decide how much time and money you are going to invest, how many reps and how much profit you want in a certain time period. Follow your plan.
42. Get the right tools for your business: a fax machine, an answering machine or service, voice mail, three-way calling, business cards, and stationery.
43. Start at your own pace. If you want to start out small, start small. Grow as you want to grow, but don’t put it off.
44. Know your product, company, and payment plan inside-out. Make sure there is no question a prospect can ask you that you can’t answer.
45. Ask your prospect what they are looking for in a business opportunity, and shape your presentation to fill their individual needs.
46. Sort out your prospects. Spend less time with the prospect who is not as motivated as others, and spend more time shaping motivated prospects into leaders.
47. Network marketing does not end when the sale is made. Work with your downline. Keep in mind that their success is your success.
48. Keep good relations with everyone you meet. A distributor in another company may be no good to you now, but who knows where he/she may be in the future.
49. Go for it! Do it now!
50. Don’t let anything stand in your way. You can be anything you want to be if you do your best to get there!

10 Steps to Success in Direct Marketing

If you're looking for a lucrative homebased business, direct marketing may be just what you've been looking for -- offering you the possibilities of making your dreams come true.

WHAT IS DIRECT MARKETING?

Direct marketing is offering a product or service directly to the consumer via mail order, Internet sales, personal sales, etc., with no middleman involved. Many direct marketing companies are now being operated right out of the home. Home based business is the waive of the future and can offer you a wonderful opportunity to actually be able to compete with the large, well established companies with large bank accounts. That's what is so wonderful about the Internet. You don't have to have a large bank account to succeed. You just have to have a little "know how."

* 10 Steps to insure your success

1. SET YOUR GOALS
What do you want to accomplish? Do you want a new home? Do you want to save for your children's college education? A new car? You can have whatever you want, but you must want it enough to do the things that have to be done in order to get it.

Set your goals, write them down and set a target date for reaching them. Set short term reachable goals and long term higher goals, yet don't set them too high. This will cause you to become discouraged if you don't achieve them. Work consistently towards accomplishing your goals each day, each week and each month until you reach your short term goals. When you have attained your short term goals, set them a little higher each time. Ultimately you will achieve your long term goals. Goal-setting is a must in every area of life.

2. BE SELF DISCIPLINED
Get up early each day. Get ready for your job as if you were working outside your home. Have a list of all the things you want to accomplish during the day. This will give you an organized approach to each day. It's amazing how much you can get done using a "To Do" list.
3. BE SELF MOTIVATED
Set up a schedule and stick to it. Be Enthusiastic. Enthusiasm generates its own energy. Energy and good health are synonymous with motivated, happy people -- achievers.

4. BE ENTHUSIASTIC
Positive thinking will literally be your key to success. You have to convince yourself that you can succeed at whatever you desire, because you can.

5. DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO BECOME DISCOURAGED
Remember... The more "NO's" you get, the closer to a "YES" you become.

6. SCHEDULE YOUR TIME WISELY
A schedule is your roadmap to success. If you have no direction, you'll travel in circles and ultimately never reach your goals. Plan your work then work your plan.

7. HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE
Success is 90 percent attitude and 10 percent aptitude. Learn the art of positive thinking. You can do whatever you put your mind to. It's mind over matter. Your attitude will either guarantee your success or guarantee your failure. Remember ... you're only a failure if you give up.  

8. SET UP AN OFFICE AREA
Most direct marketers work from their own homes, but it is still essential to set up a specified work area. Take pride in your business to ensure your success.

9. HANDLE YOUR MONEY WISELY
Set up a written budget. Set aside a percentage of your business income to put back into your business. This is a must. Failure to reinvest your money will result in the failure of your business.

10. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF
Get plenty of sleep, eat right and take some time to stop and smell the roses... Be Persistent... Persistence Pays Off... Don't Give Up... Most Businesses fail Just At The Moment They Are About To Succeed...

Sales is one of the highest paid of all professions. "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime."

What are you going to DO TODAY to grow your business & create income?

 Touch your business daily. Touch your business in SOME way - every day. To generate income & develop & create customer loyalty, you must make contact with your business on a daily basis. Your store is essentially "closed" any day you're not working your business.

Working your business means doing any of the following:

·       Preparing, delivering your brochures to current customers & potential new customers.  Order at least 50 books, preferably 100 each campaign.  Yes!  Each campaign.  Carry at least 3 brochures in your purse - each day of the week- so when you meet new potential customers you can give them the key to your store!  Remember to put a “sticky note” on each book you hand out, to jot down their name & phone # -- so you can follow-up!  Otherwise it is a wasted book – you may as well toss it out the window of the car as you’re driving.  Drive through the local fast food drive-thru’s and give the girl at the payment window a book!  Leave a few books at the doctor’s office, at the coffee shop, at the cleaners, at the Laundromat, at the bank …the purpose is to  G-R-O-W your business by attaining more Customers.!

·       Sharing & demonstrating samples (samples sell products) actually opening the sample and sharing it either on the back of their hand for skincare & bath & body or letting them rub the fragrance sample on the inside of their wrist - will give you a much bigger return in sales than if you just leave a sample in their bag.  True!

·       Making customer order calls & creating orders – use the customer call script, word for word or as a guide to get an order on the phone.  You can’t call a customer and say “do you want to order something from the Avon book?”  That won’t create an order!

·       Making customer care & follow-up calls.  After you deliver an order or demonstrate & leave a sample & a book with your customer – call them back within 2 days and ask how they like the products they ordered, have any questions & if they would like to order the product they sampled.  Remember, the sale doesn’t end with the product delivery.

You don't have to work all day, everyday, but you should make a point of doing SOMETHING connected to your business every day that propels you forward and creates income!

Remember Your business M&M’s

More books = More Customers = More Sales = More Earnings!

against domestic violence and for women's financial independence.

This is the company that not only brings beauty to doors, but also opens them.


The company that supports 6.2 million Representatives in over 100 Countries.


This is Avon.  The Company, that for 125 years, has stood for beauty, innovation,

Think in "Numbers"

 
 How many bathing suits are on display - high up above the warm sand storm beating upon the white shore? You see, I think in numbers. I think in numbers because we are in a 'numbers' business. It's all a numbers game. The more you add to your team - the more everyone wins. Let's cut to the chase - you have to put in 'numbers' because people will quit - they don't have the belief you do - people quit things everyday - you just have to keep putting them in. Some will. Some won't. So what. You've got big dreams and nothing or no one is going to steal them.

Tell Someone

You will grow. You will bloom. Tell someone about your business. Tell someone that you can offer them personal service and shopping from the comfort of their own home. Tell someone about the products. Tell someone your dreams. Tell someone you know in Avon that you'd love to attend Career Days and Hello Tomorrow with them. Tell someone.

Some Dreams to Start your Week

Create a Schedule and Stick to it

YOUR SUCCESS is directly related to what YOU DO to create your success.  No one else can create success for you.  It is my honor to help you & I NEED your feedback as well to provide you with the training you need.  Please answer the questions at the end of this training & copy & email it back to me.  Thank you

Create a schedule and stick to it. 

Happy Monday!  My question to you is…  What are You going to do TODAY to grow your business & create income?  (You may want to print this out & keep it on your desk) 

Top Avon Representatives will tell you that they work when they want to, and fill their work calendar around their life calendar. One calendar with everything on it, that you can carry with you at all times.  This is a critical component for any successful Representative. You need to know WHEN you want to (and are able) to work.  Mark it on your calendar.  By scheduling and utilizing time that is set aside to work, you'll be way ahead. 

When you know your next two or three available work dates at a moment's notice, people take you and your business more seriously.

Schedule time on your calendar to practice your demo, take a course or two on Avon’s Beauty of Knowledge training site, download a DSWA tele-class to your mp3, read up on product knowledge or network. Do SOMETHING to G-r-o-w your business.

Grow your business means doing any of the following:

·       Schedule time to order, prepare & deliver your brochures to current customers & potential new customers.  Order at least 50 books, preferably 100 each campaign.  Yes!  each campaign.  Schedule time on your calendar to prepare your brochures.  Buy a stamp or create labels with the following information:  Name, Phone, email, Web address. Never give out a book without all your contact information on it.

·       Schedule time on your calendar to practice the POWER OF 3. Talk to at least 3 new people a day (new potential customers) and you can give them the key to your store! (a book)  You can do this while at lunch, at the post office or where ever your daily routine takes you.  Remember to put a “sticky note” on each book you hand out, to jot down their name & phone # -- so you can follow-up!  Otherwise it is a wasted book – you may as well toss it on the ground and stomp on it! 

·       Schedule time on your calendar to prospect for new customers this way:  Drive through the local fast food drive-thru’s and give the girl at the payment window a book! (with a sticky note attached)  Leave a few books at the nail shop, beauty shop, gas station, child care facility, senior center, Dollar store & 711 store.…(without sticky notes) the purpose is to G-r-o-w your business by prospecting for new customers!

·       Schedule time on your calendar to share & demonstrate samples (samples sell products = income) Plan ahead and check the next brochure or the online What’s New  to see which samples you need to buy.  Pick new products or sale products.  When sharing samples open the sample & share it either on the back of your customers hand for skincare & bath & body or letting them rub the fragrance sample on the inside of their wrist – that will give you a much bigger return in sales than if you just leave a sample in their bag.  True!  But wait!  What about the customer’s you don’t see?… put a couple of samples on the coordinating product page with a small piece of double stick tape.  Let the sample peek out of the top or side of the book so they will be sure to find it. 

·       Schedule time on your calendar to make customer order calls & create orders – use the customer call script, word for word or as a guide to get an order on the phone.  You can’t call a customer and say “do you want to order something from the Avon book?”  That won’t create an order!

·       Schedule time on your calendar to make customer care & follow-up calls.  After you deliver an order or demonstrate & leave a sample & a book with your customer – call them back within 2 days and ask how they like the products they ordered, have any questions & if they would like to order the product they sampled.  Remember, the sale doesn’t end with the product delivery.

 You don't have to work all day, everyday, but you should make a point of doing SOMETHING connected to your business every day that propels you forward and creates income!
