Hello again,

We hope you’re having a good day and had a chance to enjoy your weekend. This week we’re going to jump in and talk a little bit more about direct sales. So far we’ve given you a general overview of the different direct sales opportunities as well as information on what it takes to build a good direct sales website. This week, we’d like to talk about recruiting a happy and profitable direct sales team.

Most moms who’ve built successful direct sales businesses have one thing in common; they concentrate a great deal of their efforts in team building. In direct sales, you recruit members to join the direct sales opportunity you represent and earn a commission on their sales.

There are several ways you can do this. If you’re hosting a party, take company leaflets along and hand them out to all the guests. You can pass them out at your child’s school or pin one up on the supermarket bulleting board. You can also make flyers and pass those out.

A great way to take your efforts to the next level is to recruit online. If you already have your own direct sales website, dedicate a section to recruiting team members. Clearly explain all the benefits of joining the team. If you don’t have a website and you really want to boost your direct sales business, we seriously recommend you build one soon. The Internet Based Family Site Builder makes the process extremely easy, even if you’ve never built a website before.

Once you recruit team members the next step is to help them become productive. It won’t matter that you have 20 people on your team if they’re not selling, so spend time training your team members. To really want to succeed in direct sales you’ll need to go a step further and do that little bit extra.

Some moms have gone as far as to set up private forums for the team members. This is a place where team members can discuss marketing tactics, ask questions and get overall training. To make your job easier produce a couple of short training guides with the information team members need to build their business – remember the more they make, the more you make. It definitely pays to train your members to be successful.

By treating your direct sales opportunity like a business and going all out when recruiting a team, your efforts will be rewarded. Here’s a new direct sales article to help you a little bit further with team building.

Take care,
