Maximize Your Sales Training

If you have been in business for a short time or a long time, you always have to be willing to put some time into strengthening your business skills. Being a small business owner in the Direct Sales industry, there are so many facets to the job.

- Sales
- Admin
- Customer Service
- Delivery
- Accounting
- Recruiter
- Webmaster
- Team Development
and so on.

You have to keep on top of the new methods and develop your skills on a regular basis or you just may miss that boat on something important or worse, fall behind.

One simple and quick thing you can do is to go to your training manual and read it again. Usually there are some great tips buried in there that you may have overlooked in your excitement after you first joined your company. Instead of recreating the wheel, take a gander and see what strikes you.

If you know your weakness(es), start working on developing that area. There are plenty of ways to get refreshed and gain new knowledge. Things like articles, conferences, speakers, coaches, books and CD’s, up-line meetings, and district trainings are a few of the keys you can use for self improvement. Even the most celebrated sales people are continually working on themselves and their business. The market and how we sell changes regularly and it is imperative that you stay on top of what’s new, what has changed and what others are doing successfully. This becomes especially important if you are doing online marketing of your business. There is always something changing with technology and keeping up with it will increase your leads and your business.

A good sales person is always looking for a great tip or the “AHA” moment. You may have heard the same speeches over and over again, but one time, something or someone is going to say one word that will spark and take you to the next level in your business. We often say tomorrow, but tomorrow is here and things are changing! How are you changing with them?

Feeling stagnant in your DS business?

I have gotten so many fresh ideas and different points of view this week while researching a DS business. I feel rejuvenated! Is this going to help my own business and even this blog and weekly tips? You betcha!

You know the feeling. We do the same thing day in and day out. Heck we could even do it in our sleep and sometimes we get stagnant. If we are feeling that way, do you think our customer and hostess are feeling it too?

I say its time to shake things up a bit! Do some research this week on a different company, not to join, but just to see what others are doing. If you pick up a morsel or two on differentiating your business from everyone else and stirring up your own party and presentation, then more power to you!

Remember excitement is contagious! If you are excited about your business, your product and yourself, then you customers will be too. You really can tell the difference and your checkbook can tell the difference as well!

Make a Holiday a special day for your customers

Since this is Memorial Day weekend, it is a great time to remember
our customers in a special way.

Give them a call and do a check up on your service last time. Ask
how they are enjoying your products and if they need help with them.

You could create a special sale to treat them to their favorite items. You can also add a small thank you gift to put into their next order.

Sending a thank you card for being my special customer is a nice treat as well. Who doesn’t love getting thank you cards? I save the ones I get and read them when I need a pick me up.

Remembering those that make your business possible is a great way
to grow your business through referrals and loyalty.

Try it this week!

Yes, I finally joined Twitter. Like I need another thing to follow or do, but it does seem quite fun.

I know, I know! I am only about a year or two behind the times, but I swore that I didn’t need it. But times change so I am going to try it out and see what it can do for my business. I know a lot of people have had great success, so I will let you know!

How has it worked for you?
