The Skinny On Direct Sales
Your First 100 Days
If you’re considering launching your own direct sales business, then congratulations! You are entering the world of entrepreneuring where your results are directly tied to your individual efforts.
We have called out the first 100 days because it is the most critical period of your new endeavor. Many people who begin direct sales either quit or go dormant in their first 100 days.
This book will help you not only make it through this period but also set the foundation for real success in the years to come. We’re not ‘shilling’ for the direct sales business. We are not funded by any direct sales company. Our goal is to give you the facts and to help you be the best you can be.
How To Measure Success in The First 100 Days
1. Knowledge about your product
2. Poise and comfort in making your presentation to a prospective customer.
3. The development of a spreadsheet and other tools for facilitating the growth of your business.
4. The number of names on your spreadsheet.
5. The creating of strategies for meeting people.
6. The steps you have taken to improve your skills – e.g. obtaining books about sales or registering to attend seminars or workshops.
7. The number of associations you have joined to meet people, and the other networking opportunities you have created for yourself.
8. The holding of a launch party (or parties) or, the setting up of event or, one-to-one meetings to introduce you and your product.
9. The number of times someone has said, ‘You can call me in a month.’ This is a door to a sale.
10. The skill sets you acquire to facilitate your evolution as an entrepreneur – putting in place systems to handle the growth of your business.
Real Reviews:
“All over the world, women and men are discovering direct sales. Many have achieved the financial and personal freedoms and goals they aspire to. This book tells how.”
- Rainer Paul, Global Advisor, Direct Sales
“Great information for anyone considering direct sales…. Direct Sales is almost a nutty thing to go into when you consider what all you are sacrificing and how long it takes before you start earning money. I should know. My first six months were a nightmare of self-doubt. If I’d had a book like this one, I’m sure I wouldn’t have doubted myself so much and would have had a happier existence during those tough times.”
- Mary Santos, Direct Sales Entrepreneur and Top-1000 Amazon Reviewer
“The Skinny Book on Direct Sales, just like the name says, very concise but full of useful information, tips and how-to. Just perfect for me and for those who are constantly bombarded by information in every direction. We hardly have any time to read now and our attention span is getting shorter and shorter in this digital age of information – computers, internet, personal electronics.”
