What Will You Post On Your Soap Box?

How’s business? Sometimes, in the summer, sales for Direct Sales Reps start to slump and during a pandemic it can get even harder. So, today, your FindSalesRep Support Team was racking their brains, trying to figure out what people are spending their money on during this summer besides masks, toilet paper and outdoor things to keep their families entertained.

Browsing pinterest told us that people are spending a lot of time and money looking at kitchen, food and diet stuff  https://www.pinterest.com/topics/popular  Does your company have products that can help people take care of themselves, feed their families and maximise their health?  If so, it’s time to POST to Your FindSalesRep WALL!

Where’s Your WALL? YOUR FSR WALL is YOURS and you should Login to Your Listing at FindSalesRep.com and look for the “Post to Your Wall” link. Your post will be shown on our home page, plus we pin your posts to our Pinterest “FindSalesRep Wall Posts” board.

When you post to your wall, we’ll pin your post to our popular Pinterest board. Some posts have become wildly successful. For example, over the past few months this post about Men’s hair care has been seen 9,600 times, been viewed close up 436 times, saved 12 times and people have clicked on the link 26 times! Google and other search engines typically charge dollars per click for targeted clicks like this. Posting to your wall is more than worth your time!

Is Your Online Home Business Ready for the Holidays

The time to start getting ready for the holiday season is here and shoppers are already looking for what you’ve got. These days EVERYONE is shopping online Will they find you?

Waiting too long to get your business found online, where everyone does their shopping, puts you at a severe disadvantage — you need to be ready to capitalize on the increased traffic that comes between Halloween and New Years. Shoppers are ready and willing to click that buy-now button, so let’s get your business ready for the fast-approaching holiday season.

1. Analyze your previous holiday-season

Where did the majority of your holiday traffic that lead to new customers come from last year? Was it email marketing, social media, or online advertising? For most, the answer will be online advertising and there’s no better way to get found online by customers in your area than FindSalesRep.com

2. Take advantage of holiday-specific opportunities

You will want to have several places where you can highlight new products, special offers, coupons and holiday sales, and it’s important to get them up NOW. Your FindSalesRep Wall is the perfect place to post this kind of info. And it will make easy to them share your unique products and sales to your social media pages and links.

3. Start sending out your holiday email-marketing

Chances are, your company’s replicated website talks all about you company and the itss best selling products, but it’s most likely pretty generic and doesn’t highlight what’s so great about you. Your FindSalesRep listing can serve as your ‘landing page’. It can be the link that you share that allows you to tell your new customers exactly what so great about you and why they should purchase from you. So this year, when you are sending out emails to your past, present and future clients, include a link to your FindSalesRep Listing, and make sure when they get there they know that that they will be able to find everything they are looking for and that you are the best rep to help them with all their holiday shopping needs.

TIP: In your “ABOUT INFO”, on your FindSalesRep.com Listing, include a link to your ‘company website’. Make it easy for them to shop with you. For example: “Hi my name is Jessica, I have been with my company for 4 y

ears. I love their products because they really work. I can help you get the lowest price on everything my company offers. Order onl

ine at (www.YourWebsiteLink Here) and if you have questions or need help email or call me at…”

Attracting the RIGHT People on Facebook

 “Let’s Be Friends”

You know how awkward it can feel sending a friend request to someone on facebook that you don’t actually know.  BUT… it really doesn’t have to be creepy.

Finding friends that you have interests in common with, like YOUR BUSINESS can be good for both you and the person you are making a new connection with.  Making NEW friends on fb can be fun for EVERYONE.

Think about it, these are people that you are going to have direct, personal contact and they might even turn in to potential customers and who knows, you might become their customer too, or maybe you will exchange referrals. It’s good for everybody, but especially for small-business owners, like you that want to connect directly with local people, this can give you and your business a big boost.


So…  YOU ready to make some new friends?love facebook

POST below in the comment section. Let us know that you LOVE making NEW friends and then give us a link to your fb page and your business website. If you want, you can also give a brief — very brief — bio of your involvement with your company.

Once you’ve posted about YOU, start making new friends with the other small business owners in the comment section below. You can send a friend request and/or comment about their post.  BE FRIENDLY! 

Take some time to find relevant connections. You don’t have to be friends with everybody. You’ll find that connecting with like minded people will inspire you.

CONNECTIONS are EVERYTHING in Direct Sales…. Let’s START CONNECTING!

Targeting the Ideal Customer

How do you target the ideal customer?

To successfully introduce new customers to you company and the products you offer,  it’s essential to focus exclusively on the prospects you believe are most likely to purchase from you.

WHO are they?  We asked a few of our favorite independent direct sales reps:

-Your ideal customer may be prospects who are currently buying something similar and will appreciate the additional features your new product or service provides.

-Your best prospects have a perceived need for what you offer, can afford to buy it and have demonstrated a willingness to do so–probably by purchasing from your competition. Bear in mind, it’s always easier to fill a need than to create one.

Share the benefits and features that your prospective customers will value most.  The bottom line is that working with you and your company should be unique and meet the needs and desires of your best prospects.  Show then how you can make that happen.

How?

Will you market online, via catalog or by archery target? Generally,  a multi-channel marketing tactic will help you achieve the greatest success.

Why?

Customers who can shop when and however they like tend to spend more and shop more often. Suppose your strategy is to market a weight loss product to people who can’t afford gym memberships or high-priced home equipment. You might choose traditional face to face/home party direct marketing plus a website as your primary channels, and then online ads and e-mail solicitations that link to your website.  These are all great ideas, but no one action alone is going to give you the results that you are looking for.  Aim to combined all of them.

When?

For startup entrepreneurs, the need to constantly tinker with the business never ends. “You have always got to be thinking about how you can tweak whatever you have to make it even better.”

If you feel like you have too much going on, stop and just focus on just one at a time. Try spending time on one project per day and see how much you accomplish.

Biggest Mistake For New Marketers

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!
