Consistent Dedication

By Leave a Comment

con ·sistent ·ly adv. (kn-sstnt le) in a systematic manner; reliable; steady

Think about any achievements that are worthwhile – losing weight, playing an instrument, earning a black belt, getting a college degree, becoming BCS champions, writing a book or learning any new skill. What do they all have in common? It takes consistent dedication to reach the goal.

Consistent dedication.

Now look at any successful direct sales business. Consider the consultants who have reached top ranks and who have financial freedom. What do they all have in common?   It took consistent dedication to reach that goal.

Yet look at most failed direct sales businesses. Consider the consultants who quit or complained “it didn’t work” or that they were spending more money than they were making. What do they all have in common?  Likely they either gave up too soon or they can’t honestly say they were consistently dedicated to working their business.

What are some activities you can do consistently to help you reach your goal of managing a successful direct selling business? Consistently – meaning daily or at least multiple times per week: [Read more…] about Consistent Dedication

Does Your Business Have a Personality?

By Leave a Comment

As business owners, we can all take a lesson from this company.   If their philosophy and personality are shining through on a website – so much so that it makes customers want to throw money at them, then refer others, plus create quite a viral buzz, they must be doing something right.

I recently stumbled upon a company that is oozing with personality. I chose to do business with them because they had the item I was looking for at a reasonable price; but more so because of their fun personality. They made me want to give them my hard earned dollars. The fact that they are a fellow Michigan business was just an unexpected bonus.

For starters, I checked their return policy because I was purchasing a gift. Theirs is one of the best return policies I’ve ever seen:

OUR GUARANTEE

If you aren’t thrilled with your purchase, return it AT ANY TIME as long as IT’S IN SELLABLE CONDITION and as long as you aren’t dead. If you are dead, your heirs can still return the goods but they should probably keep them in your honor. We are fully available to answer all your questions and advise you. We were voted “Best Virtual Boot, Clothing, Gear fitters” by made up customer #323. Load bearing climbing equipment like a harness or carabiner, and all Gift Cards, are final sale and cannot be returned. So, if you don’t like your climbing stuff just hang it on your wall to impress your friends and if you don’t want your Gift Card, use it as a ruler.

Oh yeah, proof of purchase required for all returns. IF YOU RETURN THE PRODUCT(S) IN UNSELLABLE CONDITION we will ship the product back to you and will NOT PROVIDE YOU WITH A REFUND. Sorry for being so mean about it.

After I placed the order, I received this ditty:

Your Order Has Been Placed

Way to go. You’ve won the best email receipt we’ve sent out all day. We recommend either printing this receipt and framing it in your foyer or using it as a screensaver. It would probably also be nice for you to forward it around to a couple friends and maybe even an enemy or two.

If you’re bored, check us out on Facebook or Twitter. Our CFO said he doesn’t understand why anyone would use Twitter. He also thinks that a narwhal is a made-up animal. Please don’t tell anyone about it. [Read more…] about Does Your Business Have a Personality?

Can Anyone Successfully Work From Home?

By 1 Comment

I recently saw an article titled, “Anyone Can Be a Direct Seller”.   I emphatically disagree.   Anyone cannot be a direct seller. If anyone could, there would be many, many more that do.

Lest you think I am anti-direct sales; on the contrary, I have had a home based business since 1988 and currently lead a large successful organization.   I love being in this industry, else I would not have stuck around for the past 23 years. I simply do not agree with the statement that anyone can be a direct seller.

According to the Direct Selling Association (DSA) the average direct seller in the United States earns $2,400 per year.  Clearly with any statistics or averages, those numbers tell us what we want them to tell us. And an average means there are plenty who earn far less, as well as plenty who earn far more.  Also, less than 9% of all direct sellers work their business thirty hours or more each week.

Liar Liar Pants on Fire

Wow, pretty harsh title, isn’t it? The truth may be ugly, but it’s still the truth.

Why do people lie when they don’t need to? I am mainly referring to excuses that are flung around when the actual truth would be perfectly acceptable.   I know it happens in every circle around the world, but allow me to give you a few examples that are frequented within the direct sales industry, at least within my experience. Actually it’s not limited to just the direct selling industry; it happens in plenty of other industries too.

1. Invitations to home parties or team meetings. Some people love going to home parties; others “¦ not so much. Rather than saying something simple such as, “I won’t be able to make it.” Period. No further elaboration needed, instead you get an excuse that is so transparent and it goes on and on and on with every little minute detail and it is so obscure that the fibber doesn’t even realize she is spewing such nonsense.  It’s an insult to my intelligence when people toss me a load of crap and think I am buying it.

2. I’m going to sign up with you right now.  I am a huge proponent in shopping for sponsors. I’ve said on a number of occasions that I don’t think you should necessarily go with the first person you talk with. Finding a good fit is important. Yet after you spend weeks and phone calls and emails and mailings with a person and they tell you how fabulous you are and how they can’t wait to join your team, then they sign with someone else, and then lie about it, it’s an insult to my intelligence.

Don’t misunderstand, the fact that they opted to join another team isn’t the issue, it truly isn’t. It’s that they lied about it, either lied with some cockamamie story about how they inadvertently signed with someone else, or they lied when they said they were going to go enroll with me as soon as they hung up – but then they flaunt on online forums how they just joined (with someone else).
