Add You - Direct Sales - Five Things Your Sponsor May Not Want to Tell You
Remember that "Financial Planner" who calculated that a loaf of bread would cost $1,000 by the time you retired, and that you would need at least two million dollars in the bank to be able to stop working? And how you could invest in the stock market to achieve that weighty goal, which meant a hefty commission for this financial genius who had less money than you had? Remember how scary that felt, and how daunting the monthly payments would be?Please note: This is not a Network Marketing / MLM pitch.Remember how North Americans lost up to 40% of their savings
3). You Will Need To Spend Money...to Make Money. How often have you heard a recruiter say, "you'll just need to buy a starter kit and your business will be off and running". What about those ads that say, "start your business
Are you working in your power?Creating a powerful work place that is focused and intent on success is one of the biggest challenges business owners face. What is a powerful workplace? Powerful workplaces are focused, strategic, and intentional. Owners and staff are action oriented in ways that move the business. They do not waste time on activities that are not focused on the success of the company.Well, how do you do that? First, is to create an intentional strategic plan that is focused on your company's success in all areas. It is Important to include the
The next step is interviewing your recruiter. It sounds strange, doesn't it? In most professions, the recruiter interviews you, however, if you are serious about a direct sales career you'll want to ensure that your recruiter is being honest and thorough when sharing the opportunity with you.
Before you engage in your next interview, here are five important issues that you'll need to know...but your recruiter may not want to share with you.
1). You Will Help Line Their Pockets. If you've spent any time at all researching the structure of most direct sales / party plan companies you obviously recognize that the person who is recruiting you will receive (immediately or eventually) an override from your sales income. As you are meeting with your sponsor to discuss joining the company, keep this in the back of your mind. What is their motivation? Do they want you to be a success for you, or for their own monetary gain?
If you have any doubt, ask to shadow them at a party. See if they will hold a party for you. Attend one of their sales meetings first. You can get to know a lot about a potential sponsor by seeing them in action versus simply talking with them on the telephone. Is she telling you that she has the top selling team in the company or the highest personal sales? Ask her to send you a company newsletter so you can see the figures for yourself.
2). The Products WILL NOT Sell Themselves. How often have you heard, "trust me, the products will sell themselves". If that were the case, then why would a company employ a sales force in the first place? Why would they spend time and money to teach their employees how to "up-sell" and "cross-sell". In the five years I've been involved in the direct sales industry, I've never heard a CEO or Vice President encourage a sales team to "just stand there and look cute". Please steer clear of people who try to make you think a sales business is "easy money". It isn't.

Here are some quick thoughts on ways to turn things around.Determine the real reasons why trust has diminished. Is it a problem in your industry? Something that happened in your company such as layoffs? Or is it personal – they don’t trust you? Don’t rush out and create a new program or incentive scheme until you know the nature of the problem.Determine what the implications of lower trust are. What is missing as a result? Does customer service or quality suffer? Is loyalty lower?Now you’ve got the data you need to begin to addr

Without a doubt, Universal Life Insurance is one of the most flexible and useful insurance options available, offering affordability and versatility. This type of insurance was particularly popular in the early 1980s when the plan was first devised based on tax changes, and offered participants the features of both a conventional insurance policy as well as a savings plan. Simply put, from the payments you make, some of your money is going into a savings plan and some into an insurance plan.One of the original features of the plan was that it allowed the participant t

Most business owners only sell one business in their lifetime. The results of that sale can have a major impact on the financial future of the family. For most business sales we recommend that the seller engage a professional specializing in business sales to assist. There are two broad categories of professionals that engage in business sales business brokers and merger and acquisition advisors.What should the seller be looking for? This article will discuss the type of services offered by both groups and help the business seller decide which professional to use.years I've been involved in the direct sales industry, I've never heard a CEO or Vice President encourage a sales team to "just stand there and look cute". Please steer clear of people who try to make you think a sales business is "easy money". It isn't.
3). You Will Need To Spend Money...to Make Money. How often have you heard a recruiter say, "you'll just need to buy a starter kit and your business will be off and running". What about those ads that say, "start your business for only $10.00".
Realistically, the ad should read..."start your own home business for $10.00".... (plus advertising costs, high-speed internet access, telephone service, business attire, sales incentives, postage, mileage, childcare, files, a stapler, pens, pencils, a calculator, tape, ink, meals, training trips, a briefcase, computer, long distance charges, cell phone fees, etc..).
If someone tells you that you can start a successful home business for less than the cost of a Happy Meal, they are not being honest with you.
4.) You Are Not Always In Business "By Yourself...and For Yourself". This is a popular slogan of many direct sales companies. At first, the slogan is pretty accurate. As a new consultant, you will be "off the company radar". However, the moment you reach a position of leadership in the company you can expect to be assigned a sales manager or corporate trainer.
While will still be "boss-free" in the traditional sense you will likely have corporate trainers that will strongly encourage you to meet company sales goals, training expectations and recruiting promotions.
The company may also have a list of "leader expectations" that you agree to follow when you join. If you plan to take your new business to the next level, make yourself aware of these requirements before you join and don't expect to fly solo if you are going to be successful.
5.) Last, (but certainly not least) don't plan to earn a full-time income working part-time hours. One of the most popular direct sales slogans is, "work part-time hours and earn full-time pay". According to the statistics compiled by the DSA (Direct Sales Association) Only about 5% of direct sellers will earn $35,000 or more per year and only .05 percent will make a six figure income.
I have yet to meet a direct seller who earns a full-time income while working only twenty hours per week. In fact, many of the most succes
