What You're Doing Wrong with Your Direct Sales Business

SPAM

This is a word that people are familiar with, but don't actually always know what it looks like. This is especially true of people who are in direct sales. The definition of spam is irrelevant or inappropriate messages sent on the Internet to a large number of recipients or a canned meat product made mostly of ham.

First of all if it's mostly ham then what is the rest of it? I looked it up, it's chopped pork shoulder, ham meat, potato starch, sugar, salt, and water. Now you know and we can move on.

So here is what spam looks like to most people.

Hi I need you to click this link please (link) from a person who doesn't know you from Adam and might not even be acquainted with you on social media.

In reality that is spam, but so is this.

Hey, thanks for the friend request. I see you are in company A, my company is  awesome too, I want you to join my team. Here's the link for you to check out.

This is spam whether you know the person or not, but especially when you have just either added them or they added you. NO! Just don't do that. People don't want to be sold after becoming your friend.

Talk to them about what they do, find out their interests. Say hi for crying out loud before you throw your business on them.

If you focus on relationships instead of trying to sell someone then you will come out ahead. The more friends and contacts you make, the more likely someone is to join your business or purchase from you.

Introduction to Direct Sales Princess - What's the Point?

Everyone is looking for that easy road to money. For the internet savvy it comes in the form of MLM marketing or Direct Sales. I had done the MLM thing without success so I thought I would try out the Direct Sales side of things. What I learned is there are a lot of companies out there. I found that people all were very passionate about their companies. I thought a blog following both my journey with DS and others would be a good way to keep up with the madness. I chose two companies out of the hundreds I was offered to join.

While I have a blog that will follow Younique and the makeup looks and reviews www.livelifegirly.com I also wanted a site that would follow the business side of Direct Sales and give everyone the truth about sales and recruiting. 

I hope you will enjoy my attempt at the DS business as I balance it with a full time job, a part time job, grad school, and a writing career. Let's do this!
