Some Basic Info that WILL Help YOU Get More Leads From FSR

FindSalesRep Leads, FindSalesRep Listings, , , , , , , ,

Here is what you need to know:

We don’t take any exclusive listings.  We do have a limit to the number of National, State and city listings available.

Reps with city, state or national listings are all considered Featured Listings.  Reps with Featured Listings get the majority of our “Bonus” lead, but that is not really what we do!

We are good at getting YOU Found!  It is our hope that most of the people looking for the products and company you represent will see your listing on FSR and go directly to your website, call you and or email you and will never turn in to a lead at all. 🙂

If they do/when available:  About 50% of our leads go to reps with National Listings.  About 50% of what is left goes to reps with state listings and about 50% of what’s left goes to reps with city listings.  The rest end up on fb and twitter and go first come first serve.

I hope that helps.  Please let us know in the comments if you have any questions.

Most Network Marketers Are Part Time

Part Time Work, Why Direct Sales, , , , , ,

Very few Direct Sales Reps are Full Time.  Most love it but work another Job with the majority of their time.

There are an estimated 15.8 million people are involved in direct selling in the United States and more than 74 million worldwide. Most are women, though nearly a third are men or two-person teams such as couples. The vast majority are independent business people – they are micro-entrepreneurs whose purpose is to sell the product and/or services of the company they voluntarily choose to represent because they love the products. Approximately 90 percent of all direct sellers operate their businesses part-time.

So, what attracts them to direct sales and network marketing?

We asked one of that we think is Top Notch!

Here is what  Giorgianna Michelle Goudas  Giorgianna Michelle Goudas shared with us:

I want to be my own boss. I do not want to have to answer to anyone…create my own hours… work from home if I want… There are so many benefits to doing direct sales!!

Not only do you get to sell and represent what you enjoy, i.e. the products.. But, you can do so while making a great income, create your own schedule, and basically work whenever YOU want. YOU decide how many hours you want to put into your job. YOU decide how much money you want to make. YOU decide most everything!!”

Thanks for the inspiration Giorgianna!  We total agree!  It’s ALL about what works for you.  There is no one right way to do this business!  It’ all about how you can fit it in to your life and make it work!

If you are new to Network Marketing, you are wondering HOW do I tell people about this stuff?  What can I say to start the conversation?  And then the inevitable happens and you start to Over-Think things!

Over-thinking can ruin a GOOD THING.  It can make ALL things harder than they really are and can make New Newt Work Marketers Get Stuck and Give Up!

Don’t let Over-Thinking Stop You!

You are representing a company with amazing products that really change lives and or are exactly what people are looking for – even if they don’t know it yet.  😉

Don’t worry about what to say, who to say it to, and how to say it. Say something to everybody.  Let everybody you communicate wit know that you are the go to person for that company.  If you talk to someone – they need need to know what you do or why you do it.  If you weren’t planning on talking to them, but you would like to because you think it would be good for your business.  Start with “Hi”.  The move on to, I m not sure if this would interest you, but I just feel like I really should share this with you and then tell them your story.

Network Marketing is easy!  Really, just don’t Over-Think It!

  Here’s how Natalie Karen Boecker EXPANDS!

There are many networking events in my area. Anyone can google www.eventsinyourarea.com to get started. I also talk to others as I go about my life, i.e. when conversations arise related to health & wellness, or need for more income, I ask if I can share what my company has to offer………….in line at the store, at church functions, at our ballroom dance classes & parties, etc. Asking for referrals is another way to meet more people who may need what you have to offer.

The Business Benefits of Good Attitude and Strong Belief

Attitude, Beleif, How To Grow Your Direct Sales Team, Tips for your business, , , , , , , , ,

Attitude and belief may be the biggest obstacles in your business.

There are many different ways of describing the phenomenon. You can call it The SECRET, the Law of Attraction, blind faith, ignorance on fire or Simple Luck, but the fact remands that nearly ALL of us has experienced the benefits of this kind of wishful thinking.

So, what’s your story? How has your attitude and or beliefs helped you in your business?

  Heather Nickless I try to keep a ‘can do’ attitude. I try to keep all negativity out of my thinking. I work better towards my goals when I believe I can do it so I try to always believe I can. It has definitely helped make my business sucessful including having people with the ‘can do’ attitude on my team.

  Natalie Karen Boecker Who said, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you are right.” ?? So, why not think you can? I believe in always focusing on the positive, in all areas of my life. It sure brings better results, and keeps everyone happier!

Thanks Heather and Natalie! The common theme in both of your Success Stories is the idea that “you can do it”.  Believing in yourself, being able to see your success will bring you closer to ALL your goals than any training or seminar.

It’s amazing how every successful person can tell you a story of how they came from nothing and just knew in their heart they would make it.  That strong belief and positive attitude can ride any storm in your business.  It can keep you focused, help you get past distractions and through downfalls.

Normally, I follow the rule about not mixing business and with poltics and or religion, but I willing to risk it to share this story:

Last Sunday we were sitting at church. There was a visiting preacher.  In the bulletin, I could see that his sermon was  titled, “Finders Celebrate, Losers Complain”.  Of coarse when I saw the word “Finders”, being FindSalesRep.com I clued in, sat up straight and paid close attention.  There where many stories about great people who went out to ‘find’ the meek, the broken, the worthy, the deserving, those that maybe didn’t ‘have it all together’ but had a good attitude and were willing to try to believe.

Then there were stories about people that pretended they ‘had it all’, that ‘talked the talk’, while condemning others and complaining.  The preacher warned to watch out for Losers.  That they would bring you down, hurt your business and your relationships.  He told us that we could recognize them by all their complaining. lol

The preacher told us to look for the the celebrators!    “Get them in your life and in your business!”  Funny, how that message echoed in my Business life, I thought.  My husband and I have had great success in Direct Sales.  We are successful not only because we know how to generate leads but because we always look for CELEBRATORS!  We bring them in to our lives and in to our business.  Having Celebrators around is Good For You and GOOD FOR BUSINESS!  There’s NO Complaining and Anything is Possible!

So my advice:  Look for the Celebrators!  Look for the ones who always have a new idea, a compliment and an encouraging message!

If you have some advice, we would love to hear your story!  Please leave your tips in the comments:

Getting Started Will Be The Hardest Part Of Your Business

Uncategorized, , , , , ,

It is often said that, “Getting Started IS The Hardest Part!” So, how did you get started in your business?

Knowing the answer to this question can help you understand better how to help others to join you.

We ask a few Happy Direct Sales Reps to tell us How They Got Started.  We are hoping that their  stories could help another networker grow and inspire them to grow their business too.  Maybe yours and if you have an inspiring story about Starting Out please share it in the comment section.

   Michele Doan Braley Just ask!!! EVERYONE!! And be excited about your business!!! I LOVE mine!!! Tastefully Simple rocks!!! Perfect fit for me!!!

  Sherri L Freedom I sold Avon in the 90’s I was very familiar with the product. I relocated to a different state, and at the time, it wasn’t going well. Now in 2011 I became a customer again, realized how much I missed it, signed in August of 2011 and became a Unit Leader in Sept 2011! Still going strong and loving it!

  FindSalesRep.com I started out in Network Marketing completely by accident. I told the gal that signed me up “I am never going to do the business so please don’t talk to me about it.” But the products really made an obvious difference in my life and everyone I knew wanted what I had. My first goal was just to get my product paid for my second goal was to help the people that I signed up to get their product paid for. Helping them was fun and it was strong motivation to be supportive and successful. I had to get over self doubt  and learn the basics, but once I decided to make it work I was willing to do what ever it took and I put in the time and got over my fears.
