Most direct sales consultants think that the reason their prospects book a home show is to get free product, and that’s why they almost always lead with getting free product as the reason to book a home party.
What if you could improve your results by digging deeper and finding an even more compelling reason to book a home show, would you want to do that? If so, pay close attention to the marketing lesson within the following story of how I developed a large group of people to want something I offer.

6 Strategies To Increase Your Sales Now
Now is the time to become a “smart” entrepreneur about your business by doing more not less. What I mean by “doing more” is increasing your sales and marketing efforts. Instead of pulling back as many entrepreneurs are currently doing, beat out your competitors by finding new ways to stay visible.
An economic slowdown can be a problem for your business if you allow it to be. Or, it can be an opportunity to gain new clients and boost your sales if you know and have mastered the marketing and sales methods that work best during these times.
Right now, many successful entrepreneurs are rubbing their hands together in eager anticipation of new opportunities because they know many of their competitors are pulling back. With less competition, it makes it easy for them to go after business.

Direct Sales Tips: Getting Back on Track After a Holiday Rush
So you had a great holiday income with your direct sales business… that is GREAT! But don’t let this great holiday season of sales set you back. How, you ask? Well, sometimes a person will be so excited about the huge money they made for the prior month that they will relax for a few weeks or not get back to work as soon…
Don’t let this be you! You need to get right back to work in building your direct sales business, building your customer base, and advertising your company! A great holiday season of sales and commission can put a kink in your progress so don’t fall into this trap. It’s a new year and time for new goals.
Write down a list of your goals for the new year, for your direct sales business. Write down three goals for the year, three goals for the month, and three goals for next week.
Top 3 Direct Sales Holidays Ideas
If you run a direct sales business, you know how well the holiday can be for your income. As the time for gift giving approaches, you need to make sure your business is in people’s minds as they search for gift ideas for family and friends. It doesn’t matter what your direct sales business product line is, the holidays can be huge for your sales. Whether it is gift cards, actual products, or parties, the end of the year can be the way you finish the year with a bang.
1. A VIP Customer Card: create a card with anywhere from 6 to 10 circles, stars, or logos. Give them to customers and tell them after 10 purchases, they get one product free. Make sure you specify the value of the free item. If you offer a service, tell the customer that after the 6th, 8th, or 10th service, they will receive a specified discount on the next order.
2. Goodie Bags: Nothing makes good customers more happy, when dealing with direct sales, than free items. Package up a business card, holiday specials flyer, and a free product ($1-$3 value). Give these goodie bags to your best customers. Drop them off on their front doorsteps, mail them, or hand deliver them. Sure, this will cost you, but usually you can expect to convert 1 out of 4 of these into sales. So keep that in mind when putting this package together.
Direct Sales Opportunity: Great College Student Jobs
When taking college courses, living on campus, and studying, there is always need for more money as a college student. Regardless of how much the average college student claims to study, they always have some downtime. Most college students will take up jobs such as pizza delivery, customer service, or grocery store jobs. The problem with these jobs are they are not usually very flexible with a college student’s schedule.
When going through college, you have an ever changing schedule and most college jobs aren’t this flexible. This is why I feel that a direct sales business is perfect for college students. Direct sales businesses are the most flexible income you can make, in college or out. You set your own schedule and your own hours. This means, if you are a college student and have to join a study group last minute, you don’t have to worry about your employer not allowing you the time off.
Another GREAT reason that working in direct sales as a college student is that direct sales business thrive in social atmospheres. When working direct sales in college, you will have an endless supply of leads and customers if you are in the correct direct sales business. Your friends, classmates, roomates, and dorm mates will all either be interested in the products or know many friends and family that are interested.
