Men Would Love Help with Mother’s Day Gifts
Mother’s Day is only a few weeks away. Many direct selling companies offer products that any mother would be thrilled to receive as a gift. Whether you sell candles, lotions, hand bags, kitchen ware, chocolate, spices or jewelry, I’m sure you sell something mom would love.
Let’s face it; most men don’t excel at gift giving. No hate mail please, I will acknowledge that some men do well in this area. Though, a majority of guys would appreciate a painless gift giving process. If you’ve ever seen men lined up in the card aisle on Saturday night prior to Mom’s Day – you know what I mean. Hallmark greetings are usually pretty picked over by that point and their goal is to just get something – anything and get out. They can’t show up empty handed and let wife or mom down.
Here’s how you can help these gentlemen.
To really pull it off at this late date, you should already have some on-hand inventory. It may be pushing it a bit if you have to place an order for some products to receive in time for Mom to receive it for her special day. Time is of the essence. Look at what inventory items you have on your shelf that would make a great gift for mom. Then package it up pretty. Wrap it in clear cello so that the purchaser can see what is in it, but so that it is also ready to give as is. Ideally you should have a variety of price ranges – maybe something around $10, something for $20 and something in the $40 range.
Take some photos of your beautifully wrapped gifts, and then print out some one page flyers highlighting your offerings, clearly showing the prices of each. Next put your Mother’s Day gift baskets in your car and go to locations that typically have a lot of men working. Auto repair shops – which include mechanics, body repair men, quick oil change, muffler shops and the like – are good places to start. Construction sites and in some cases, factories are other suggestions.
If you’re not comfortable just walking into places of business, just pretend you are. Take a deep breath, hold your head high and walk into the front desk with all the confidence in the world because you are there to HELP them and make their life EASIER. Be aware that you do have to be careful about No Soliciting policies, but it doesn’t hurt to go in and ask. The worst case is they will say “No thank you”. Continue reading
How Are You Really Spending Your Time?
Busy busy busy. No time. Wish I had more time. So much to do. Argh! I’ll never get it all done. 
Sound familiar? If so, you’re not alone. Maintaining a successful direct sales business is definitely work. Many consultants certainly enjoy what they do, but nonetheless it is still work. Those who are doing fairly well and are managing a large organization either have good time management skills or good delegation skills or a little of both.
Those consultants who say they truly do have the desire to succeed but claim they aren’t successful due to time constraints may be able to eke out a little more time to work their business. That said, if I were to show you how to have more time to work your business, is that all it would take for you to get your next promotion in rank?
If you honestly believe you’re not successful or not as successful as you would like to be in your direct selling business right now because you simply don’t have enough time, then it’s time to take a deeper look at the root cause why you don’t have enough time.
Do a time study for one week.
You’ve heard of dieters keeping a food log of everything they put in their mouth for a period of time; this is the same thing – only it involves how you are spending your time. Don’t worry about tracking your time on the weekend. All workers are entitled to have a weekend off from working. Starting Monday morning from the time your feet hit the floor, write down the various activities you do – and don’t cheat, you want to be successful, remember? Cheaters never win and winners never cheat. Finish tracking your activities Friday evening. Continue reading

Direct Sales PLR Articles Can Help Grow Your Business
Looking for ways to work smarter, not harder? Consider purchasing articles that have been written by a professional writer for you to use as though you were the author. It is a perfectly accepted, common and ethical practice.
PLR stands for Private Label Rights. As it pertains to sets or packs of articles, you have the legal right to use PLR articles as your own. You don’t have to modify them at all if you don’t choose to, though changing them up a bit is recommended. Having your own “original” (reworked) content will help with your own search engine ranking.
Having fresh and frequent content on your website or blog is one of the best ways to increase traffic to your site. If the direct sales company you represent allows you to have an external website, blog or Fan Page, then providing your team members and most importantly, potential recruits, with informational articles will allow you to provide added value to your readers and give them reason to return often.
You’ll have one less thing to worry about. This will in turn give you more time to focus on: hostess coaching, mastering and teaching your compensation plan, helping new team members understand the direct sales alphabet soup (PRV, GWV, PWV, XYZ), preparing for your fundraiser, setting up your vendor event, following up with past customers and bagging, tagging and delivering the product shipment you just received.
Direct sales is a fabulous industry to be a part of, one that requires you to able to balance your own sales business with recruiting, mentoring, supporting and leading all of your team and group members too. You’re not successful if your team isn’t successful, right? That’s quite a balancing act. Continue reading
