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.
