Marketing Tips for Direct Sales

Basic Rules For Your Business

1. Your business finances NEED to be separate from your personal/home finances.  You need to set up a separate checking account for your business and have the money coming in and going out for your business filtered through that account.

2. Whether you joined your company as a hobby or to have as a full fledged business where you NEED to make some good money, you MUST be professional in how you run it.  This means providing the

 
merchandise people have ordered, returning phone calls and emails and acting like a mature business owner.    Realize that there HAVE been many direct sales reps before you who have NOT conducted themselves in this manner, and have contributed to the problem of some not taking a direct sales rep seriously.

3. Make decisions with your head, not with your emotions.  Always remember to step back, and weigh things out, THINK about your decision, whether it be as simple as sending an email or in making a phone call.

 

Many times you WON'T be able to take back that decision and damage MAY be done by it.

4. Ask for help when you need it.   Don't be too proud and think you HAVE to or CAN do it all when you know that it is virtually impossible.  This is a great time to seek out your upline for support and to enlist your family with basic "work" duties.

5. Be "coachable".  Don't think that you know everything there is to know.  Be gracious when others offer advice and try to help, they may know more than you think.

 

A wise person is one who realizes that they do NOT have all the answers and that they should be looking for new information and ideas.   Realize that the only constant in business is change.  Although that may sound like a catch 22, it is very true. Be a lifelong learner and keep an open mind to new policies, business practices and people that may come in your direction.

6.  Competition or the involvement of others in your area working with the same company is almost a given.  Remember to always conduct yourself in a positive manner when referring to other representatives of the same company regardless of what you hear or would like to say. There's enough customers for everyone no matter what area you live in.

7. Being involved in a direct sales company definitely helps when it comes to the 4 P's of success with any company. Why? They provide two of the four upfront.  Product and price are taken care of for you. Maintain a consistent schedule for yourself that is feasible yet goal-oriented that remains working on the other two which are promotion and place.  When all four work together, you have instant success! The right product, in the right place, at the right time and definitely at the right price.

8. Focus on the postitive but DO pay attention to any mistakes/negative and see how you can change  them so they don't happen again.   Focus on your "to do" list, but don't forget to make note and admire your "have done" list.  Although you are constantly working your business and setting goals for yourself, don't forget to take time out (at least once a month) to reflect on the things you HAVE accomplished. This will make you feel better about yourself and the path you are taking to get toward your end goals.
