If you are in direct sales, it is extremely important that you
grow a healthy downline. Not only are you building a
relationship with your customers through sales, but you should
build a healthy relationship with your sales team.
Here are 7
tips to generating a strong downline and keeping your direct
sales business growing every day.
- Tip : Get Personal
Your downline wants to know who they
are
working so hard for. Send a monthly newsletter will sales tips,
monthly numbers, top salesperson, etc. Offer a free forum or
chat group to your team so everyone can share ideas and offer
support to one another.
- Tip : Be Available
Schedule time to speak with your sales
team often. Constant contact will show them that you care. This
gives your team a chance to share their concerns, thoughts and
ideas with you. It also allows them the opportunity to ask
questions.
- Tip : Hold a Contest
Offer prizes or free services to new
recruits. Offer special discounts or coupons to the team member
who recruits the most new partners.
- Tip : Write Articles
Article marketing provides an avenue
for
free web site traffic. Write five articles, linking to a web
site where your products are sold, then submit them to various
free article directories.
- Tip : Educate Your Team
Provide your current sales team
with
powerful information about your business and products. By
educating your sales team, you will create an aura of
excitement. This excitement pushes your team to recruit their acquaintances into this wonderful opportunity for self-based
employment.
- Tip : Lose Your Mind
Sometimes the silliest ideas are
the
ones that often get noticed in sales. If you've been playing it
safe, get crazy with promoting your business. Print fliers,
bookmarks, calling cards, booklets, etc. Go door-to-door and promote your business and sales opportunity. Focus only on
promoting awareness of your business instead of sales.
- Tip : Don't Stop
It has been said many times
that for every 9 "
no's" you get, you'll get one "yes." Don't stop promoting
recruits, regardless of how many "no's" you've had this
far.
Eventually someone will say, "Yes!" Sometimes the queakiest wheel is the one that gets oiled!
