A Strategic Partnership Checklist
By · Comments
Last time I talked about the importance of strategic partnerships and how they can benefit your business. 
When someone wants to make a business connection with you, it can be a very exciting time. I have had moments when I’ve been over the top excited that some business or person wanted to partner with me or my business. There have been a couple of times that I’ve let my excitement and passion overtake my good sense and I have ended up burned by a bad partnership decision. The warning signs were all there in front of me with flashing yellow and red lights, but I blew past them and drove myself right off the cliff. And trust me, once you go over that cliff, it’s really hard to climb out of the hole!
So since I mentioned them, what are the warning signs that you should notice? Read More→
As a direct sales business owner, you have full control on how to run your business. You can work when and where you want, tailor your demonstrations and parties the way you want and market your business any way you please.
While you have company guidelines and policies to follow, the more unique you can make your business, the higher your sales. After all, you need to differentiate yourself from other consultants so that people will want to buy from you rather than someone else.
There is only ONE thing I don’t recommend you do: discount your merchandise to get more sales.
Discounting merchandise to increase sales creates so many challenges for you and your business. Once you start discounting your merchandise, customers will expect the discounts to continue and will “wait” for the best deal.

Competing solely on price is a losing battle – you will lose friends (other consultants) and customers when they find a better deal. Read More→

Avoiding Distractions
By · Comments
Do you find yourself checking your email every five minutes? Or chatting on the phone when you are supposed to be working? Distractions are a part of life, but that doesn’t mean they have to control your days. Here are a few ideas to help you keep on task.
Close your email
This may seem simple, but, at least for me, it can be hard not only to close my email, but also to STAY out of my email program. When a task needs to be done, the best way to focus is to shut your email program, turn your phone off (or mute it) and distance yourself from any other distracting technology items. You’ll be amazed at how much more you will accomplish – and how much more efficiently you work. Read More→
