Direct selling is a popular business. To make money with direct selling requires some savvy. To stay in business and build lasting equitable relationships, a direct seller needs to believe in their product.
How will you convince someone to buy from you? One area where associates lose sales is not having a good command of their products. When someone asks a question, fumbling for a response demonstrates to them that you aren’t familiar with your products.
A guide to finding a perfect product to sell is to try them first. It is hard to sell a product that inspires no confidence from the seller. Attend a few direct sales parties and order something. Find a product that works and decide if you want to turn it into a business investment.
It can be difficult to stand in front of people and host a party. If you actually use the products, it doesn’t seem so hard to promote them. In fact, using the products that you sell in your direct sales business will increase the sales that you make.
Potential customers ask a lot of questions about direct selling products before they buy and before they consider selling them. They ask things like:
* Does it really work?
* How much money can I earn?
* How much is it to get started?
* Do you like direct selling?
As a product user, these questions have answers that you can give from experience. Potential customers can see just how the products work by looking at you. A shampoo that claims to give bouncing and shining hair will be proved right or refuted by your own hair. Using home décor products or wearing jewelry that is supposed to be tarnish free is good PR. You’ll be a walking billboard for your business and the company as a whole.
In fact, get the entire family involved. That says even more about the products and the validity of the business. We may try products as a way to gain more business, but we wouldn’t let our families try them if they weren’t good quality. This is especially helpful for vitamins, spa products, and beauty treatments. Ask the family what they think of the products after they’ve used them for a while.
Nothing inspires confident buying like a testimonial. A husband may vouch for your products to help your business but kids will be honest. No offense to husbands out there. Let them tell their own story at a sales party.
Getting the family involved can be good for business. When you choose a direct sales product that everyone can get behind, the entire family wins. Before joining a direct sales program, try the products to see if they are worth your promotion.
