How to Get your Number 1 Client on Board with your Business!

How to Get your Number One Client on Board

Guess who your number one client is???? And how can you get them on board fully with your business?

How can you daily motivate them?

How can you start them on a journey they will NEVER and I mean NEVER forget? And make money doing it!!!!

Look in the MIRROR!!!!

You are your BEST client! You need to FIND the daily motivation you need! and YOU need to remind yourself that you started this Business journey with a DREAM, a GOAL and a VISION that only YOU know and can achieve!!!

One thing that drives me absolutely Bonkers…which is Canukian for CRAZY is the fact that sooooo many women get started in a business that they don’t BELIEVE in 100%! In fact, you should have a belief in what you do of 150%!!! You should actually USE your products as well!

As many of you know I’ve jumped into the world of Retail Selling and the biggest thing they teach is how to VALUE what you are selling. Otherwise, they WILL walk down the street to a different store!

If, for instance, you think your product XXX is Expensive you will be saying things like “I know it’s expensive, but its worth it”…or “I know you can buy a similar item somewhere else”…Guess what???? You just sold your customer that you have a product that is TOO expensive for them…and NOT worth their value when you mentioned they could get similiar somewhere else! Yikes and YIKES again!

Instead, use wording like this:

“I love how product XXX has changed my life and there is no price tag on that” or “You cannot find our product in any stores…it’s Exclusive to our company”. See the difference?

So get on Board with your company and what you are Selling! Or I should Say GIVING! You are GIVING great value, product and knowledge in exchange for some green stuff! It’s the best exchange of the universe and when you relate to people on how much value you are GIVING to them…guess what? it’s not SELLING…and I guarantee the GREEN will roll in a heckofa (not sure if that’s a word or not ha ha) LOT quicker and more Effortlessly!

Charlotte and Jody will answer your Question: “How do I daily motivate myself?” on Monday’s Q & A show!!! As well as several other questions:

“How do I balance two different business’s?”

“Where and How do I find new hostess’s?”

“How do I balance family and work while letting my family know that I take my home business seriously?” wowsers

“I don’t have upline leadership support, how do I find that?”

“I hate playing games at my shows” Uh, I’m not sure if this is a question or statement??? haha

“My hostess keeps cancelling, grrr, what do I do?” Love the GRR we ALL get Frusterated!

“I have no time for me, help”

And many more!

High Five your Way to Social Media Success with Your Direct Sales Business

High Five your Way to Social Media Success with your Direct Sales Business

Are you ready to high five your way to success in blending your direct sales business with social media?

Before you read any further, grab a piece of paper and trace your hand.  Together, we are about to create a fun visual anchor and accountability tool.  By following the simple and playful philosophy behind each finger and the action steps it represents, you will create a thoughtful, effective, and unique marketing strategy that will capture the essences of social media and direct sales.

Simply label each finger with the keyword action steps, commit to the daily steps, and you’ll high five your way to success!

Thumbs Up! The Fonz of “Happy Days” started a revolution with his signature “thumbs up” move.  Receiving a “thumbs up” quickly became a sign of recognition, connection, acceptance, and empowerment.  This little random act of kindness is at the heart of the social media culture.  Each day, use your personal artistry, strengths, and knowledge to create conversations that will empower your network and elevate the individuals who have made the choice to follow you.

Point the Way to New Knowledge! One attraction to social media is the personal growth we experience by meeting new people and tapping into new ideas shared by others.  Be the one to embrace the spirit of giving by sharing practical, usable, and inspirational resources or tips with others.  Your direct sales success is determined by how much you give and serve.

The Finger! Your middle finger is often referred to as Tall Man in nursery rhymes, and in teenage years as “the finger”.  It’s the one finger that gets the most attention or biggest response when it’s exposed.  You want to create that same phenomena is social media.  Expose your ideas and energy consistently to create vibrant, unforgettable visibility. Be in front of your network to engage in conversations, contribute usable content, and elevate your community.

The Engagement! Your fourth finger is known as the “ring finger”.  It represents relationship building.  When someone requests or accepts your friendship, you’ve entered into a relationship.  You’ve been given a “ring”.  Vow to enter each new friendship with the right intentions of being authentic, interested and a giver of value to the relationship.  Your success is influenced by how generously you place another’s interests first.

Pinky Swear! Remember when you were a kid and you’d “pinky swear” with your best friend to keep a promise or hold fast to a secret?  Make a promise to yourself in social media.  Pinky Swear to be who you are.  Lead with your personal artistry and message not with your product line, current specials, or pleas to “join my team” status updates.  Your personal artistry is the most important and influential factor in designing a dazzling direct sales business and social media presence.

Throughout your time on the social media sites, look at your hand for accountability and stay true your daily 5 action steps.  Which fingers have you accomplished and which ones remain?  At the end of the day, can you give yourself a “High Five”?

Remember, “Social” means community, connections, conversations, contributions, and collaborations. Social media is a platform to empower people in new directions, attract them to you authentically, and forge meaningful dynamic partnerships for your direct sales business.

YOU are the value in a relationship and partnership!

High Five!
