direct sales

Have you been struggling with your Direct Sales or small business company? Do you feel like you need a kick in the pants about your direct sales business to get you moving in the right direction, not act all spammy and actually get some real customers, team members and sales? Trying to figure out the world of social media marketing can be confusing, conflicting and downright costly at times. The solution to this – The Elite Suite! How to be a successful direct sales consultant

That’s how I’ve been feeling for some of my time doing Direct Sales or MLM companies (I’ve tried a few over my adult years). There are some really big sellers out there that do all the stuff you hate to see -post on their personal timeline ALL the time, message all of your friends. SELL, SELL, SELL all the time and don’t worry if others unfriend them! Yes I bet you’ve seen some of those people around! They might do well short term, but they haven’t formed any relationships with their customer base and will burn out in the long term as everyone turns away from their spammy selling behaviour.

A good place to start

That’s where the Socialite Suite entered my life just after starting with Jamberry. It is all about learning how to market yourself without those irritating tricks that annoy all your friends. I lurked for a bit, bought a few courses at very reasonable prices about using different social media platforms better. And then this year, after being a Suite member for 18 months I decided to take the plunge and join their premium coaching group- The Elite Suite as I still felt I was struggling with what to do next.

I was just going to try it for a month! That’s all. But there is so much value with video tips 5 days a week, graphics, and the support of others who are truly trying to step up their game to be a successful direct sales consultant too! So I stayed another month, and another. I joined up in March, and it’s now August and I’m still there. Everything is self-paced too, which makes it easy to go work on the things I need help with!

Too good to keep to yourself

Then I invited my team mate who was struggling as well with our company going through some big changes. She was going to try for a month and ended up staying. That’s how great the value is of this group is to support you in becoming a successful direct sales consultant! You just don’t want to leave The Elite Suite! And of course Brenda is da Bomb and has her finger on the pulse of the Social Media world!

So if you are feeling like you need that kick in the pants to be a more successful in direct sales, then jump on in to The Elite Suite! It will give you the tools and strategy…but just remember you still have to put it all into place!

Like to see more of my stuff – My community hang out here, but I also use Pinterest and Instagram. (Who doesn’t, hey?).

This post was originally posted on Sassy Direct in August 2018. It’s now December 2018 and I’m still in the group, even without being in Direct Sales due to the fabulous community and support I’ve found there.

It’s a strange thing, the Direct Sales world. Companies may sell via catalogues only, websites, or through party plan. Some even do a mix of those three or even more ways. As the world has opened up more with the advance of the internet and social media, so have the avenues through which you can find a direct sales company. If you know where to look, they are EVERYWHERE!

As a consultant you are trying to find your footing in the world of sales based from home (usually), and compete with all the big businesses that have huge advertising budgets. As a small business that sells via party plan or website only, you can sometimes be seen as inferior to those bigger companies. And due to the nature of some people in the past, can be seen as spammy or ‘one of those annoying party companies’. So you try to find your own way and voice to be heard over the thousands of others out there!

Not all Direct Sales companies are the same. They all have their own brand values and conditions for consultants (and clients too sometimes). Such a vast range of products can be bought from a Direct Sales company these days too! Beauty products, clothes, food, jewellery…even toys for grown ups. Of course, not every company is available in every country (though potential customers wish they would do so! and soon).

Just as all companies are different, so can the culture of being someone’s ‘Only’ consultant. Those that carry the same products with every consultant strongly cling on to their customers, and it’s even frowned upon in the rules of the company to poach anyone else’s customers. But then there are companies now where each consultant has their own stock, which is likely to be different to any other consultant in the area. With these companies they are encouraged to share their customers around to be able to find items or patterns they are searching for. But whichever type of company, if you don’t look after your customers, they may not return ever again. It is essential to build relationships with them, and make them feel valued (which they are! Without customers, you don’t have a successful business).

Word of Mouth and great reviews can do wonders for whatever type of Direct Sales company you are with. So if you buy a product from someone who does right by you, let them know what a great job they are doing, and let your friends know who to go to. Your consultant will love you for it! Because you are not just lining the pockets of some big company director- purchasing with someone in direct sales  is helping them send their kids to dance lessons, to buy a coffee with friends, to finally have a family holiday together!  You are helping someone who’s trying to make ends meet and pay their monthly bills. You are helping someone just like you!
