You are a small business owner. You work hard. You manage and promote your businesses as you strive to succeed and a make difference in your finances. We know it’s a tough grind and that there are plenty of obstacles in your way. Covid-19 is just the latest in a long line of hurdles. The pandemic has touched every aspect of our lives and it is reminding us of how interconnected we all and how our actions can significantly impact those around us, as we find ourselves adapting to a new normal. How we respond to new demands, how we support each other through crisis, how we modify our ways of doing business and how we revise the ways in which we interact with both our business partners and our customers, all of these new interactions are shaping our new small business plans.

How we respond to new demands Things are not the same. Living and working through a pandemic is something new for all of us. The economy is being artificial supported by the federal government and showing no real signs of recovery. Economists and experts agree that the economy won’t really start to recover until there is a cure for the Coronavirus. The new world we find ourselves in can NOT be responded to in the same ways we are used to. We must search for new ways to respond to the new demands a of socially distant world. Gone are the days of face to face marketing and meetings in coffee shops. The Zoom call and other online interactions have replaced the time honored tactics of the most successful sales representatives and entrepreneurs. Today, small businesses are encouraged to do their part to keep their employees, customers, and themselves healthy. To do that, they need to be creative. Lucky for you, your business is already online. You have a link to your company website, a place where you can send people that want what you’ve got. You’re used telling people face to face how to get there. Now, for your business to survive, you will have to look for ways to tell them online.

  • Directories: Like FindSalesRep, Manta, Yelp and others
  • Advertisements: Google is the leader, but there are literally millions of places to buy ads
  • Social Media Marketing: There are a lot, but you will have the most success using Pinterest, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook
  • Blog: Share ideas and products that can help others relieve some of the stress. Help people adapt to the new way of life that we are all facing and make life a little easier for others.

How we support each other through crisis There’s no denying how difficult these times are. Stress, hardship, uncertainty all require a response that is both empathetic and compassionate. In your business, you are a leader. Leaders need to look for ways to identify with the feelings, thoughts and attitudes of their customers, their teams, their employees and their business partners. Show that you, through your business have feelings of deep sympathy and sorrow for others who are stricken by misfortune. Show them that you have a strong desire to alleviate their suffering.

  • For your customers: Identify strategies that they can use today to combat there problems. Can your business offer a solution, some support or comfort?
  • For your Team or employees: How can you directly help them today? Can you call  or connect with them to identify what they need

How we modify our ways of doing business In these times especially, we are constantly reminded how one person’s action can impact the life of another. Just think about how big your reach can be and then work with others to make it even bigger.  Collaborate with your business partners to change how you do your business. Start work together to use your joint interests to become something bigger than you are apart. There are many types of business partnerships to consider. Businesses with different basic interests can partner together to share content or customers. The benefit of this type of collaboration is to reduce worry about competition. A great example is to host an online party. Invite 10 reps from different, non similar companies to host. In order to qualify as a host each must bring 2 reps with them to the party.  That’s 30 people at one event and a fun party! This idea also works for training events, swapping sprees, swag bag exchanges and basket giveaways, all of which can be done completely online. The swapping spree, swag bag exchange and gift basket giveaways can be run a little differently. They offer you and you business partners ways to share revenue.  If this sounds too confusing or too difficult, it’s not. In fact, chances are you are already a part of a revenue sharing partnership. If you or your business are an affiliate, consultant, representative or ambassador of any brands where you earn a percentage of the sale, that’s a revenue partnership. 😉 You can get creative with all of these types of partnership.

How we revise the ways in which we interact with both our business partners and our customers.  Meaningful interactions begin with kinder leaders. If you think back to the most impactful mentors you have had either professionally or unofficially, you will instantly remember their kindness toward you. They made time for you and they connected with you. Now, during this time of so much anxiety and suffering, you could take advantage of the moment  and seize the opportunity and become a more empathetic leader. Reach out and check in on your customers, teammates, employees and business partners. Treat them like friends and family.

These new interactions are shaping your new small business plan. Kindness is contagious and good for business.  Show genuine gratitude and interest in the concerns of others. Public display recognition and affection. Putting them first will have an mediate positive effect on your business. These small but meaningful gestures will create lasting connections of goodwill and mutual prosperity.

Take the extra time that you have during this imposed down time that we are all being forced to take and find new ways to make people happy!

-Network with existing colleagues and social contacts. This can be cheaper, faster and more reliable than advertising to the general public.
-Check with professional associations – Event and expo organizers. They may have connections with Direct Sales Reps and may like to collaborate with you.
-Try online and off line advertising and directories. Sometimes you can find them for free, but not all of them work like that. However, the speed, freshness and search-ability make ads and directories an attractive option for both you and your prospects. Anywhere that they offer listings/advertising for DS companies works. Example: Manta, all the party directories, community pages, fb ad, google ads, and yes the list goes on and on.
-Check with your local schools, gyms, churches, farmers markets, festivals and coffee shops. You may be able to reach out to new reps who’s enthusiasms is ‘off the charts’.
-Contact your “Serious” connections. Real networkers specializing in personnel relationships. Now that you have something interesting to share, it may be worth taking their call or returning it.

-Set up your own FindSalesRep Independent Consultant Facebook pg. Grab your state/location/claim to fame now, during Pre Launch (Review the P&P’s if you have questions or just ask.)

A Story of Inspiration:

What is a Dream Stealer? Dream stealers are the people who make you believe that you’ll never reach your dreams and do what they can to get in your way and cause you to stop any activity that brings you closer to your dreams. They tell you to play it safe: to get a nice safe job, when it’s the “right” time to to marry- look for the most responsible person you meet, and go vacation to the local Lake instead of New Zealand or the Caribbean.

Does this sound like anyone you know?

Of course it does. Dream Stealers are all around you!

Here is how to recognize them:

Watch out for the “Concerned Dream Stealers”-These are the people who love you so much that they can’t stand to see you fail or get your hopes up. They want you to have a nice, safe, and secure life. They truly have your best wishes at heart but don’t understand that for you to be happy you have to reach for your dreams.

“Jealous Dream Stealers” are also hard to recognize. -These are the people who have NOT reached their dreams. They are not successful them selves and even if they are not aware of the emotion, they don’t want anyone else to reach their Dreams either.

Sometimes dream stealers come in the form of people who want to collaborate. They will ‘talk the talk’, but they can’t ‘walk the walk’. These are the people that want to Teach You How to reach your dreams, even though they’ve never reached their own dreams. The best strategy is to listen politely, smile, and thank them for their interest. Then go ahead and live your dreams and reach out to people that ARE reaching their dreams.

So, what can you do about Dream Stealers?

RUN! These people fear what they don’t understand, so when you are in the process of trying to following your dreams they will try to pull you down. Do not give these people any of your energy. Say, thanks and forget about the meeting.

Most dreams get stolen because we share our dreams with the wrong people. Be on the look out for happy, motivated people to share your business success. Share your dreams with them. They will help you grow and reach your dreams.

Share your Successes only with Dream Stealers. Nothing else. Not your opportunity, products, nothing! When you share your successes with the dream stealers, it takes away their power.

Building your own Direct  Business requires focus and commitment. You can’t ‘try it for a while’ and then give up. Never ever give up. Always believe in yourself.

11 Things You Can Do To Achieve More Today

do something

It can be overwhelming.  Being your own boss will offer you moments of self doubt, crushing stress and frustration.  BUT…  but there’s also excitement, adventures, new possibilities and a whole lot of clapping and smiling when you achieve success.

You may not be able to quit your job today or follow every direct sales lead that comes your way, but every day contains within it countless opportunities, all waiting to see what you will do.

Theses are the choices that will make all the difference in your business.  They are the things that will determine your current level of success and your likelihood of you achieving your goals in the future.

So, WHAT IF?  What if you make some changes today and stick to them?  WHAT IF?  

Sometimes even the smallest shift in thinking or doing can create the biggest opportunities.

To get started:

1. Stop thinking and stopping there.  Getting a good idea is NOT enough. Write down all of your ideas, right when you have them.  Then, put them on your calendar and make them happen.

2. Challenge your beliefs about what you can and can’t do. You are better than you think you are.  Yeah, you really are that good!

3. Challenge your ideas about how things work. Sometimes when you decide how things should be you limit your ability to see how they CAN BE.  Take a look at how others ‘do the business’ and see which things you think you could try to adopt in to your day to day business plans.

4. Have a vision, a dream, a goal.  Write down your goals.  “I will… by this date…”  Then create a vision board and put on it those things that will be visible you when you achieve your goals.  (Directions for creating a vision board can be found in the search on this blog.)

5. Look for opportunities in every failure.  Avoid the victim mentality, everything that happens, whether to-you or by-you is an opportunity. Yes, EVERYTHING!  Change your attitude and start LOOKING for the opportunity in EVERYTHING.

6. Remove something from your life that doesn’t serve you.  Make room for something better and new.   These can be small things, like a cluttered work space or big things like a business partner that is holding you back.  Either way, take the time to evaluate those things that you let in to your business and make room for new things that will encourage growth.

7. Commit to something.  You know those things that you always say you’ll do but you never seem to start start—start them.  Go, right now, GO!  Write it on your calendar and figure out how to make it happen.  Take the first step right now.

8. DON’T think about what you DON’t want. DO think about what you DO want. Shift your energy from complaining, worrying and waisting time to doing, taking action and achieving.

9. Replace negative thoughts with positive ones. Positive energy creates positive results.  Enough said.

10. Self Improvement is a sign of growth and intelligence.  Anytime you improve your habits, you pave the path for personal excellence.

11. Forgive your self and others.  Let go of grudges. Removing barrier opens doors.

5 Quick Fixes to Help Get Your Brain Ready for Success

Attitude, , , , , , , ,

 

1 2 3 4 5

  1. Avoid negative thoughts. Stop thinking “I can’t,” It won’t work,” “It’s impossible,” or “I always fail.” Negative thoughts only lead to negative results. Instead, refocus your thoughts.  Only allow thoughts of what you can accomplish and what will work stay in your thought. Become a problem solver.  Replace “I can’t” with, “That’s a problem.  Here’s a way to solve it.”
  2. Express positive emotion publicly. Never pass up an opportunity to share positive feeling. For example, if someone asks “How are You?” respond enthusiastically with “Terrific!” and share a reason for this feeling.  Happiness will look good on you.
  3. Don’t waste your mental energy. Stop worrying and turn off those sources that complain, condemn and contest.  Try turning off the news and listen to music or inspirational videos, podcasts, trainings and books.
  4. Find Solutions. What good does complaining about things do?  It may release some tension at first, but it can not improve your situation unless you can come up with a resolution and some some action steps.  From now on: complain = problem solve, problem = opportunity.
  5. Seek Support.  Going it alone is never a good idea.  Researchers who studied the most successful start ups recently found that new business that are started by multiple individuals with a common goal, did better in their first year than those that are started by a single individual working in isolation.  Grow your team and support one another.  Success can not happen in isolation.

Over time, these 5 Fixes will strengthen the thoughts that make you motivated.

Seriously, this will work. So, practice….

In the comments please respond…..  “How are you?”

If you say it with examples, you’ll start feeling ‘terrific’ right away.  🙂

Help People With Your Home Based Business

Attitude, Inspiration, , , , , , ,

Challenges!  Problems, difficulties, road blocks, hurtles, no matter what you call them, CHALLENGES can make you change the way you are doing your business.

There is a popular children’s story, where a family is struggling to get some where and there are all kinds of CHALLENGES in their way.  Each time they face one of these ‘set backs’ they have the same attitude;  “Can’t go over it, can’t go under, guess will have to go through it!”  Building a successful home based business is a lot like this story.  You’ve got your family with you.  They are counting on you, you have to work with them and things are not always going to go your way.  Bad stuff happens!  What then?  Well, that depends on your attitude.

got to go through itIndependent  Representatives, that face problems with a ‘let’s solve this attitude’ will make it though the tough stuff.  That’s because they are good at figuring out that “Yup, I’ve got to got through this *@$#!  How can I turn this in to something good for business.

Are you good at figuring up the next step?  Do you have a never give up determination?

Being a creative problem solver will help you get through obstacles in your home business.  Over coming an obstacle is probably the best thing you can do for your business.  So, don’t back down when you’ve got a problem. Lessons learned will give you confidence.  They will  ignite courage to help you face the next fire storm and they will prove once and for all that you are ‘good this!’  And… You can have a ridiculously successful home business.  

You will become an amazing  leader and you will be able to help others face their own fears.   Your going to help a lot of people!  

Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes it meaningful.   – Joshua J. Marine

It All Just Clicked For Me When

Attitude, Beleif, , , , , ,
In anything that we do successfully, there is always a MOMENT.  The moment when, you just know in your heart that ‘this’ is right for you.  That, you want ‘this’.  And that somehow, in that MOMENT, you know, absolutely, without a doubt that ‘this’ is going to work.  It’s the moment when moment meets momentum!
In Direct Sales, these moments are common.  According to the Direct Selling Association there are 8,493 new home businesses opening everyday in the US.  and individuals start a new home business every 10 seconds.

Finish this sentence: 

“It all just clicked for me when…”

  Michelle Kenney Maddage I couldn’t sleep without thinking about building my business. Book. Sell. Recruit. Over and Over.

  Alicia Pouliot-Cote It all just clicked for me when…I was able to lose 30 lbs by having peanut butter cup, Oreo, Snickers and cheesecake shakes!

  She-She Killough I felt better than any time in my life AND the results of losing 45 lbs in 6 weeks gave me new purpose to help others get healthy and LIVE.

Who Really Wins In Direct Sales

All Company Reviews: Breaking MLM, Attitude, Build It Make It Create It, direct Sales Statistics, Getting the Job Done, Make Money Fast, Making It In Net Work Marketing, New Marketers, Success n Network Marketing, What Kind of Network Marketer are You?, , , , , ,

Who are the REAL Direct Sales Winners?  

Certainly the company owners are successful   Or not…  many Direct Sales companies fail in the first 2 years because of poor planning,  but for those that do survive the ‘terrible’ two’s’, yes, their planning pays off and they reap the rewards of residual income.  They also will have brought in a few key ‘master distributor’ or ‘founders’.  These folk, if they stuck with it through the launch stage, will be starting to get pay back in full.  So, yup, they are winners.  

Who else wins it in Direct Sales?  Is there any Real Money left to be made , if you weren’t there right in the beginning?  

ABSOLUTELY!  

It used to be that companies reserved about 50% of their total payout for the top 2% , but recently, companies have been taking a new approach to the age old problem of retention   Early payouts for top recruiters are now attracting big hitters to jump in and they are not just jumping from company to company.  Todays newbies are coming from other industries.  The economy may be partly to blame.  With fewer high-end sales positions available, many uniquely quailed sales reps have had to think less traditional and have turned to Direct Sales.  These rising stars are WINNING BIG, with companies offering new bonus as big as $3,000 to $300,000 in your first 3 months.

That kind of cash is attractive and professional sales reps are taking notice.  Direct Sales stereo types are a thing of the past.  Todays top earners, the REAL Winners are Reps with ‘play to win-win’ philosophy.   

These are the  new rain maker‘Rainmakers’!  

 

They respect, and always try to satisfy, the best interests of their prospects.  Knowing that a win for the client means a win for them too. They are also extremely dedicated to becoming top performers.  They have often times been in the position before and they have a won’t settle attitude, exhibiting the hustle, passion, and intensity it takes to achieve what only the elite achieve.

Winner Do.  They just do.  They do the work.  They look for opportunity and they make things happen.  Anyone can be a Direct Sales Winner.  Companies have heard the request and are now rewarding ‘The New Kid”.  Getting some of the action has never been easier!  It’s a great time for Direct Sales!
