The best training is here.

Having a direct sales business is the best training you will ever have. You can sign up on a weekend and have a brand new business by Monday morning. You have support, training, marketing, branding, packaging, shipping, and order processing all in one stop. Most people think that you only gain sales experience or learn sales techniques but there are many more skills you gain by having a direct sales business.
Public Speaking Skills
Public speaking is the first arena. Every party or show you hold at a hostess home you are gaining public speaking experience. Every team meeting you attend, when you participate with a testimonial, or offer to give a sales tip or training you are gaining public speaking experience.
Customer Service Skills
Your reorder calls or booking calls allows you to build great customer service skills. You should always want to give your customers excellent customer service. Direct sales is word of mouth marketing so you need people to have positive things to say about you and your business to help your business to grow.
Coaching and Mentoring Skills
Once you start to recruit and build a team you will shave a growing group of consultants to coach and mentor. You learn how to inspire and motivate your team. You develop skills to be a leader and help to promote other to become leaders.
There is no other industry where you get all this training while living your dreams. All these skills are developed over time while have fun, changing lives, and making money.

The BEST training is here, the Direct Sales Industry!

Direct Seller Motivation: Conversation with yourself

Direct Seller Motivation: Conversation with yourself: "We all have personal conversations with ourselves. Are you speaking positive words to yourself, 'I am successful, business is great, I am a ..."

Conversation with yourself

We all have personal conversations with ourselves. Are you speaking positive words to yourself, "I am successful, business is great, I am a people magnet."  Or are you saying, "No one is buying this stuff, I can't get anyone to book a show with me, That person is successful but it never works out for me."

Monitor your conversation that you have with yourself. Make it a practice to read and say affirmations every morning and every evening. When we speak positive to ourselves we may encourage ourselves to do things like approach a well dressed woman in the mall to give her your business card. When we speak negative to ourselves, we self sabotage ourselves and we may put ourselves down like beating yourself up because you didn't approach the well dressed woman in the mall.

This week make it a habit to say 10 wonderful and encouraging things to yourself in the morning and the evening. Then during the day when you are tempted to say something negative stop yourself and say "NO, I'm not talking down to myself I'm only speaking up to myself!"

There is a great tool that you can use. Wear a rubber band on your wrist and when you have a negative thought pop yourself with the rubber band. This way you will train yourself to stop the negative self talk. Here is a resource positive thoughts band.

Monitor your conversation with yourself and encourage yourself!

Brand Yourself

Does your direct selling business reflect you? Is it a business that agrees with your core values? Even though you are an independent consultant you should realize you personally have a BRAND.  You are not just representing the company, the direct sales company is giving you a reputation too. It's your name who is going out and making those contacts. You want to make sure the mission of your direct sales business matching you.

No matter what business you have partnered with, you should BRAND yourself. Start with sharing information about the type of business you represent. Share helpful information and facts about your related industry. If you are in skin care, discuss common skin care problems people have. Offer some helpful advice on how to treat or cure these problems. If you product is food or cookware provide great recipes that busy women can try. Social media is a great place to share information. BRAND yourself as an expert. Don't just  post on facebook that you have another great sale on a widget, tell me why this widget will make my life better. Can it sold a problem I may have? Tell me why & how.

Another place to BRAND yourself is with your team. Do you have a team name, a team culture? It's not just the company you are with it's about the TEAM you have. The name should have meaning to it and when you come together for meetings and trainings it should be about your team spirit. WHOO HOO!!

If you BRAND yourself and no matter what business you are in you will become the authority & people will want to partner with you and your team.

To your SUCCESS!
