10 Steps To Success In Direct Sales

10 Steps To Success In Direct Sales
Every year thousands of men and women across
America sign
on with direct selling firm-Tupperware,
Amway, or a
cosmetic company-hoping to make money
enough for new
draperies, a new davenport, or some new
clothes. They sell
a little merchandise to a few relatives
and close friends.
Then they are through. They quit before
they give
themselves a chance to learn the basics
of success in sales.
"I am simply not a born
salesperson," they often say.
No one is born a salesperson, any more than
one is born a
doctor or born a lawyer. Sales is a
profession. To be
successful in any profession one must
learn not only the
basic techniques, but also how to apply
those techniques.
Success in sales makes use of all the
abilities one is born
with, plus all those acquired through
education and
experience.
If you are looking for a career opportunity
or "extra
income" to help with the family
budget, direct selling
offers you dream-fulfilling
possibilities. However, you
must give yourself time to learn the
techniques of sales.
Ask yourself. "How long does a
doctor to be study? A lawyer
to be study?"
WHAT IS DIRECT SELLING?
Direct selling is marketing a product
directly to the
consumer with no middleman involved.
Most reliable firms
are members of the National Association
of Direct Selling
Companies. They bring to the public
fine products that are
modestly priced in order to insure mass
consumption.
Most direct selling companies furnish their
representatives
with a starter kit and essential
supplies below-cost prices.
In many instances the investment is
under $100.
There is an old adage which says "Give a
man a fish and you
feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish
and you feed him
for a lifetime."
Many of them were able to change their lives
for the better.
They took their families on nice
vacations. They purchased
a piano or an organ and provided music
lessons for their
children. They saved money for college
education. They
redecorated their homes, bought needed
furniture. One highly
successful saleslady built a new home.
The rewards of direct selling are many
1. You can be your own boss.
2. You can set your own hours.
3. You can own your own businesses with
little or no
investment.
4. You can pay yourself more than any boss
would ever pay
you.
5. You can give yourself regular raises as
your business
grows.
It is only fair to tell you that there are
failures, too.
There are people who will not work for
themselves. When
working for a boss, they rise early,
are well-groomed, and
get to the office on time. However,
when they are their own
boss, they are still in a bathrobe,
drinking one more cup
of coffee at 11:00 A.M.
If you can be your own boss and discipline
yourself to do
what has to be done when it has to be
done, direct selling
offers a most unusual earning
opportunity.
THE TEN STEPS
Here are ten steps that will assure your
success:
1. BE A GOAL SETTER. What do you want to
accomplish? Do you
want to save for college education for
your children? A new
car? A new home? You can have whatever
you want, but you
must want it enough to do the things
that have to be done
to get it. Whatever your goal, write it
down and set a
target date for reaching it. Divide the
time period into
blocks of achievement that are
reachable. Work consistently
toward accomplishing each day, each
week, each month what
you set out to do. Goal-setting is a
must in every area of
life. Little is ever accomplished
without definite goals.
2. BE A LIST MAKER. Each evening list all the
things you
want to get done the following day.
That gives you an
organized approach to each day. As each
task is finished,
mark it off your list. It is amazing
how much gets done when
one works with a
"things-to-do" list. Also, have a notebook
listing appointments, potential
clients, repeat clients,
and referrals, and keep it with you at
all times. You will
be adding to it constantly.
3. BE ENTHUSIASTIC. Enthusiasm is the
high-octane "fuel"
that sales people run on. Enthusiasm
generates its own
energy. Energy and good health are
synonymous with busy,
happy people, people who are achieving.
4. RECOGNIZE THAT THE MAGIC WORD IN SALES IS
"ASK." In
direct sales we don't have to wait for
business to come to
us. We create our own business by
asking for it. Ask for
appointments, then you can do business.
Ask for business,
then you will close sales. Ask for
referrals, then you
always have a full list of potential
clients. Be quietly,
yet firmly aggressive.
5. EXPECT NO'S. Realize that no's are not
personal. In
sales, as perhaps nowhere else, the law
of averages works.
Every no gets you closer to a yes. Keep
track of your ratio.
It will help improve your techniques.
Are you getting ten
no's to one yes? Is your ratio five to
one? Remember, the
yes's are your income. Also remember
that "no" does not
necessarily mean "no." Often
a "no" is simply a stall for
more time to think. It may be a request
for more information
about your product or your service.
What your client is
actually buying is assurance. Assure
here by your helpful
attitude and your complete honesty, that
you want what is
best for her. She will most likely
respect you and do
business with you.
6. SCHEDULE TIME WISELY. A schedule is the
roadmap by which
salespeople travel. It takes the
frustration out of the day.
It assures that the necessary things
get done and get done
on time. Plan your work then work your
plan.
7. BE POSITIVE IN YOUR ATTITUDE. Success in
sales, as in
all areas of life is 90 percent
attitude and 10 percent
aptitude. All of us must work at
developing habits of
constructive thinking. I am proud to be
a salesperson. Sales
make the wheels of our economy turn.
Bernard Baruch, advisor
to several presidents, is quoted as
saying, "If every
salesperson sat down and took no orders
for twenty-four
hours, it would bankrupt our country!"
Every company that
manufactures any kind of product
depends upon salespeople
to move that product. Without
salespeople business would
be paralyzed.
Remember, sales is one of the highest paid of
all
professions. Statistics show that good
salespeople enjoy
incomes far above the average.
8. HAVE AN OFFICE AREA. Most direct
salespeople work from
their own homes, but it is essential to
have a place where
you can work in an organized and
efficient manner. An
office plus a strict working schedule gives
you dignity.
Both are absolutely essential for
efficient operation and
accurate record keeping, so important
to the success of
any business.
9. BE INVOLVED. Most sales organization offer
contests to
stimulate production. Include winning
contests as part of
your business goals. Contests make your
business fun as
well as adding considerable dollar
value to your income.
10. LEARN TO HANDLE MONEY INTELLIGENTLY. A
regular
nine-to-five job usually means a
paycheck at the end of the
second week. Direct sales
"reps" handle money constantly.
Direct sales is instant income and
constant income.
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary
to become an efficient
money manager.
Deposit every penny collected from clients
into a checking
account set up especially for its
business. Since bank
statements show an exact record of all
monies collected,
and business expenses can be verified
by canceled checks,
record keeping becomes simple and
accurate. Everything
except a few petty cash"
transactions can be directly
taken from bank statements.
Money saved regularly and put at interest,
soon develops a
second income in addition to earned
income. A long-term
goal, which is realistic in direct
sales, is to be able to
live in retirement off the interest earned
on savings.
Would financial security mean a lot to you?
If so, ask
yourself these questions:
Am I honest?
Do I really like people?
Am I willing to learn?
Am I willing to work?
Am I capable of being my own boss?
If your answers are yes, to find a good
product for the
direct sales market, one that you like,
one that fills the
need of a lot of people, and go to work
for yourself!
You can turn dreams into reality.

Fun Trivia
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Designer Gabrielle "Coco"
Chanel introduced her first
perfume in 1921. She gave it the name
"Chanel No. 5."
According to Chanel, she jumped
straight to number five
because it was her lucky number. To add
luck to the
fragrance, she introduced it on the
fifth day of May, the
fifth month. Chanel No. 5 became the world's best selling
perfume.
http://www.absolutetrivia.com
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In my business, how do I…
Record
Two-Fer’s?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As consultants, we are accustomed to
buying our products at
varying prices and discounts.
Sometimes, we get an extra
discount, but sometimes it is the
retail price that varies.
In May, many of the Repair, Prevention
and Specialty
products are on sale. The Specialty
Products have a new
twist in that, not only are they on
sale, but the prices are
especially discounted when you buy two
of specified
products.
For example, Skin Lightening Complex is
$21.25 on sale, but
you can buy two for $37.50. In order to
do your bookwork,
you will need to break these down into
the price for each
individual piece. If you buy two Skin
Lightening Complex,
you will get them for $18.75 each.
(WoW! What a deal!)
When you record your order(s) for May,
be sure to show the
individual price for each 2-fer product
you buy. This will
help you (or the computer) calculate
your cost-of-goods
sold for the year. The pricing of each
individual product
will only matter if you have any of
them still in your
inventory at the end of the year.
However, even if you
plan to sell all these products right
away, your
bookkeeping will make more sense if you
record the
‘each’ price.
For your convenience, I have listed the
2-fer prices,
and the equivalent ‘each’ price:
2-Fer Price: Equals 2 each at this price:
$52.50 $26.25
$37.50 $18.75
$27.00 $13.50
$22.50 $11.25
$18.00 $9.00
$14.00 $7.00
$13.50 $6.75
When you enter your order into
NutShell, add the 2-fer
product to the PO and key the quantity
that you ordered.
Then change the Retail price (on the
PO) to the amount in
the second column above.
If you bought the Skin Lightening
Complex, you would put
it on your PO, change the QtyOrd to ‘2’
and change the
Retail to ‘18.75’.

WHAT DOES IT SAY ON YOUR SHIRT?
One day my housework-challenged
husband
decided to wash his sweatshirt.
Seconds after he stepped into the
laundry
room, he shouted to me,
"What setting do I
use on the washing machine?"
"It depends," I
replied. "What does it
say on your shirt?"
He yelled back, "Atlanta
Braves."
(And they say blondes are
dumb!!! ;-)

NutShell Tip – Making a Qualifying Order – The
Easy Way!

Making
a Qualifying Order – The Easy Way!
This NutShell tip is shared with us by:
Debbie Schroeder, Unit VIP, Lincoln,
NE
I just wanted to let you
know a great use for Nutshell! I
signed a new recruit this weekend and
she was placing a
$1,000 order. We didn't use the
4-party form exactly as it
was, so we wanted to know when she had
reached $1,000. I
just started a new purchase order and
kept adding the items
she wanted to get. When we
reached $1000, I printed out the
completed order and then deleted the purchase
order from my
Nutshell. (It also helped her see
the value of Nutshell!)
CD
Backup – If you have a CD burner on your (new) computer,
you can do your NutShell backups onto a
CD. There are some
advantages to backing up to a CD rather
than a floppy.
The most important advantage is that CD
backups are much
more reliable than floppy backups.
Floppies can go bad for
no reason. CD’s don’t do that.
CD backups are faster, plus you can put
many backups on one
CD. With floppies, each backup erases
the prior backup.
So, if there is a problem with one of
your files and you
back up several times (not knowing the
problem exists),
with the CD backup, you can restore
from one of the
backups you made before the problem
occurred.
To backup to a CD, select your CD drive
when you make your
selections on the backup screen. If you
are unsure which
drive is your CD drive, just try one of
the drives in the
list. There is a good chance that your
CD burner will be
drive ‘D:’ or ‘E:’. When you select the
drive to backup to,
watch the light on the CD drive. If it
lights up, you have
the right drive.
There are two types of
CD’s:
1) CD-R: These are called
‘recordable’ CD’s and they can
be burned once, and once
only!
2) CD-RW: These are called ‘writable’
CD’s and they can
be burned repeatedly. They
are a little more
expensive, but only cost
about $1.50 a piece.
You must use CD-RW’s to backup your
NutShell. It is easy to
distinguish between the two types of
CD’s. Just check the
outer packaging. It’ll say ‘CD-R’ or
‘CD-RW’. Be sure to
have at least two ‘CD-RW’ CD’s for your
NutShell backups.
Your CD must be formatted before you
can backup on it. If
you get a message that says ‘Cannot
create file NM03…’ when
you try to do your backup, it is
because the CD isn’t
formatted. There are a variety of CD
formatters, so you
will need to look on your computer to
see which program you
have. One the most common CD burning
programs is ‘Roxio
Easy CD Creator’. If you have this
program on your computer,
look in the ‘Applications’ menu for a
program called
‘Direct CD’. Direct CD is the program that will format
your CD.
Once you get your CD formatted, you
will be ready to use
it for your NutShell backups. Be sure
to alternate CD’s.
Use CD number 1 today and CD number 2
tomorrow. The reason
for this is that if one of your CD’s
gets scratched, lost
or broken, you will have another
backup. It’s like having
a backup for your backup!
Floppy
Disk Backup – If you do
your NutShell backup with
floppy disks, please be aware that the backup should take
at least 2 floppies. If you get a
message during the backup
that says ‘Please insert a blank disk’,
it means to remove
the disk already in the drive and
insert another disk. If
you don’t remove the first disk, you
will NOT get a good
backup. This is very important! Don’t
risk losing your
data due to this ‘little’ detail!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Game – Love-In
Game!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ask the guests if they have ever been
to a Love-In!
Of course they will answer no. Tell them, “Tonight, we are
going to have one!”
Give each guest a piece of paper and
ask them to number
it from 1 to 15. Then have them stand
up and choose a partner,
but it can't be a mother, sister, best
friend, etc.
Have the partner pairs
turn back to back with each other
and rub their shoulders together. "Doesn't that feel GOOD!".
Ask each guest to answer the following
questions, without
turning around or looking at the person
at their back.
1. What color of hair
does your partner have?
2. How many rings does
she have on?
3. Is she wearing
glasses?
4. Is she wearing shoes or
sandals?
5. Is she wearing
anything that buttons?
6. Does she have on nail
polish?
7. What basic color is
she wearing?
8. How many children does
she have?
9. Does she have any
jewelry around her neck?
10. Is she wearing a
watch?
11. Does she have earrings
on?
12. What color are her
eyes?
13. Is she wearing socks,
hose or none?
14. Does she have a part
in her hair?
15. This is the most
important one: Does the lady to your
back have her teeth in or out? The only way to find
this out is to turn around and
smile at each other.
The person or team with
the most correct answers wins a prize!
