With most of the kids back in school now, its time to start thinking about fall and the holiday season. Now is the time to start getting that calendar filled.
Procrastination on this will come back and get you. We have approximately 3 solid months of pre season selling that we can do. Most direct sellers know that this is the prime season to really build your customer base and your sales for fall and Christmas.
Get on the phone and promote that great new catalog, hostess gifts and whatever else your company is offering. Don’t take a plain no either. Offer a book party, ask about fundraising or even ask for a referral.
It only takes 15 - 20 minutes a day. What are you waiting for?

This quote says it all. The answer to our problems in business where there is a rep around each corner or a similar business down the street. Remember ….
Today you are You, that is truer than true.
There is no one alive who is Youer than You.
Dr. Seuss
Well.. Its true right?? You are your competitions nightmare. Work your YOU to the highest extent and become the best YOU you can be.

We have all had a customer or client tell us “No” in a polite sort of way.
I can’t have a party because….
I can’t buy this without asking my spouse…
The economy is really hurting me right now….
My house isn’t clean enough….
My goldfish died…
You have heard so many different reasons, but have you gotten your responses in place for when they do come?
Scripting a response in situation like this is a really good idea. You know the types of excuses you get. So script the answers with questions. You won’t cave at the sound of a negative response and can actually make some additional sales this way. Practice on a friend or in a mirror.
Turning a negative into a positive, now that’s cool!

As a small businessperson, you have no greater leverage than the truth.

With the investment we make in our business time wise, it is also critical to invest in the improvement of our skills. Depending on the company, they may or may not provide you with sales seminars and info to help you develop and grow professionally. It is up to you to do it on your own regardless of the assistance your company provides if you want to grow your business.
Picking up a good sales book a week is a great way to start. Also look into seminars and blogs. There is a lot of great resources out there that are not expensive or in many instances, no charge.
Make a committment to hone your craft and treat yourself to a good business book or blog, like this one LOL or better yet, both.
