Passion plus Purpose equals Success

When I was first introduced to direct sales I had no idea where this one at home party would lead me. I did not think that I would ever write a book about direct sales.

I've met the most amazing people because of my direct sales career. I've met, Les Brown, Martin Luther King III, Alivn Day, Jewel Diamond Taylor, Stedman Graham and many more. I've also experienced the training of the best direct seller trainers in the business.

In this industry I found my purpose to support, encourage and inspire others. It gives me joy to share my business with others because I know that they may be just like me and they might begin a journey that will change their life for the better. I am so excited when a team member says she is ready to work her business and is ready to go for the next level.

Combining my passion and my purpose has given me success. I never imagined that I would be a published author. I never dreamed that I would be given the gift to share with the world. It is a blessing beyond anything I could ever ask or imagine.

The next time you walk into your next home party, look around the room. You never know who's life you will change when you share your business. It started with lotions and I can't wait to see the next place the journey will bring me.

Reconnect

There are times in your business that you need to reconnect with why you are working your business. What is the real motivation to make those calls, go to those shows, and recruit new team members. I know I am not alone when I say that even my business career I have found myself at moments when the business has become a habit. I'm going through the motions, doing what I know I must do to grow the business but I have a disconnect with my "Why".

 If you have ever found yourself where you are not passionate about what you are doing, or you don't feel the joy for the products or company, then you need to take some time and reconnect with what made you fall in love with the business or products. I think of it as re-recruiting yourself. Go back on the recruiting calls, attend the webinars as your own guest. Go through the New consultant training again. Fall back in love with your business.

Many people have just come home from their company's convention. They are very excited about the fall and holiday lines. Now is the time to re-recruit yourself. Now is the time to get your Why back into focus. If you didn't attend your company's convention then you really need to re-recruit yourself. You need to really look at your business and your Why and gain a new passion for your business.

It's a great time to get yourself rejuvenated and excited again. People around you will want to know what you are so excited about. When you talk to people it's not about you have brand new items or you are ready for the holidays. It's about you are passionate about your company and you know that you have something wonderful that you want to share with them.

Reconnect and you will get amazing RESULTS!

Endorsements Are a Must!

It's been a very exciting time for me in my business. I have several people that I've connected with who have given me wonderful product and business reviews. It is very powerful to have someone else write a review about you and your business.

Are you going out and making connections with your customers? Are you asking for their product review or testimonials? 

I believe in direct sales we are always looking to provide excellent customer service. When someone acknowledges your work or your customer care, it is truly exciting and profitable.

Why do you think companies pay millions for endorsements from celebrities. An endorsement from anyone is very valuable even if their last name is not Kardashian. The person who endorses you or your product has a whole circle of  friends and family. They value their opinion and when they recommend you it is like the old commercial,  When EF Hutton talks people listen. (LOL!)

In this world of social media, facebook, twitter, start to ask for testimonials and reviews. You will be surprise how a great review pays off in great sales, great new customers and great new business partners.
