  • Welcome to Direct Sales Done Better

    10/07/2021

    Hi everyone! This is Abby and welcome to the first episode of Direct Sales Done Better!    Your Pillars If you’re going to tell someone outside your company what you do without mentioning your product or your company name, what would you say? If you find it hard to answer this, it’s time to write down your pillars.  Pillars are a few things (usually 4 to 7) that mainly describe who you are and what you love. These are things that should bring out what is authentically YOU. Why is this important? Well, pillars are your connection pieces. Pieces where people can connect with you, and can easily recognize that you are a person that they can connect with  based on these pillars. So, it’s important that these pillars are things you are truly passionate about.   Apply the lipstick Now that we’ve learned one of the fundamentals of network marketing, it’s time to take some action. Let’s apply the lipstick!  Grab your notepad (or device) then answer the following: What are your pillars? What’s your lipstick? (what makes you authentically you? What do you love?) What can you post in your socials/private group that shows your audience one of your pillars?

  • The Importance of Intentionality in Business

    11/01/2021

    Last month we focused on how network marketers can start their business, put on the business owner hat, and show up authentically. And for this month, we’re moving towards intentionality. Why is it important?  Intentionality is the exact opposite of hustle culture (check out the previous episode to know why hustle culture is a bad word!) Being intentional requires you to ask, “is everything I do tied to a reason or purpose?”  And this doesn’t mean that you have to be doing something every minute. Even my spending 20 minutes outside doing nothing is intentional. I am intentionally grounding, resting, and refocusing. And this can be different for you. But the biggest piece of this is that there’s no wasted time, energy or space. Hop on to this episode to hear more practical tips on applying intentionality within our daily lives and in business!   Get this month's freebie here: https://direct-sales-done-better.mykajabi.com/pl/2147543608 And make sure you are in the Direct Sales Done Better group on Facebook - every Tuesday this month we are having a conversation around intention and the podcast episodes will tie into each of these!

Episode Description

As you grow and develop who you are, your passions and interest will change too. Thus your brand will change too. And that’s okay. You can make adjustments in your business as long as these changes are serving you and are true to you.

You are the business owner so you are the one in control of your business. So if something doesn’t bring you joy or isn’t serving your end goal anymore, you can close that chapter.

The same thing happens with team growth.

 

What we can control

Like what we’ve discussed in the previous episodes, we can only control our content and the conversations we have. In team growth, we can’t control who shows up or collaborate consistently, but we can control what we share with them and how we do it. We can’t control who responds to us or not, but we can control our Facebook lives, how many stories we post, how often we ask, etc. (See also how to increase online engagement.)

 

So every time you feel stuck in your business, it’s the time to step back and ask, “am I controlling what I can?” Remember that you don’t have to do everything all the time but you can manage your time wisely!

 

How to encourage team growth

When your brand or community is going through some changes, you have to focus on what you can control and let your girls join you in your journey. Here are a few tips on how you can get your members to hop on board:

  • Have a monthly list of 50 (highlighted) members and 20 celebrations. Make your members feel that you are showing up for them as their friends more than as business partners and that you value their successes. The goal of these lists is not only to motivate them to reach their business goals but to also encourage participation in the group.
  • Always ask your girls how they’re doing and how you can help. What can you do together?
  • Your members see your consistency (ex: a monthly check-in.) And this consistency helps your members incorporate your group activities into their business routines.
  • Always highlight your pillars and community value. When you have fully developed your ‘why’ behind your brand, more people would resonate with it. They would see that your group is more than just a selling team. 
  • Open up some of your life’s shenanigans to your group so they can understand the changes and they can get updates from you.
  • Don’t be afraid to share knowledge and space with people who have the same goals and interests as you. This way, you can expand your reach and collaborate with other leaders. You can then do team training together or have someone back you up when you need it! When you build your business that’s not in a scarcity mindset, it’s easy to bring other people in.
