Wealth Building Challenge! Week #1

There are many things you can do to build a successful business.  I encourage you to participate in our 9 week challenge as I share strategies to build your business on a solid foundation.

Week #1 challenge

Identify 10 locations where you will deliver brochures every campaign.   This could be your doctor’s office, your child’s day care or schools, your office, stores, etc.   Start with places you normally would go anyway.  Ask your customers if you can bring them a new brochure while they are at work.  This gives you the opportunity to offer brochures to their co-workers.  

The key to this is consistency.  They should expect to see you at least once per month.   Choose a specific day of each campaign where you will deliver brochures.   Keep a list of locations you will deliver brochures to so that you can keep up with them.   As you continue to build your business, continue to add at least one new locations to your distribution route every campaign.   The more locations you deliver brochures to, brochures you will distribute, the more customers you will obtain and more your business will grow.  More money, More money, More money!

What should you do now???? 
1. Get a sheet of paper and a pen. 
2. Make a list of current locations you are currently delivering brochures to. 
3. If you have 10 locations on your list, do your happy dance.  Think of one more location you can deliver brochures to. Add them to your list.
4.  If you have less that 10 locations on your list, do your happy dance.  You are in the right position to START building a strong foundation.  Make a list of places you frequent and commit to delivering brochures there every campaign.
5. Order more brochures to cover all of  your locations.  Make sure you have your name, phone number and website on each brochure.  
6. Deliver those brochures!

Feel free to comment below and share your experiences or success with this week’s challenge. I look forward to celebrating your success with you.

Steps to Six Figures - Build Your Clientele

As entrepreneurs we know there are many routes to success.  The most promising route is diligence and consistency in the little things.  Building a strong cliente base will maximize your growth.  Of course we have family and friends that support us in our journey of entrepreneurship.  But, lets be clear, just selling to your immediate family and friends will NOT make you a millionaire.  Your immediate family and friends can be your roots.  Everyone else in the world will be the tree that growth from those roots.  Your six figure income will be the fruit that grows from that wonderful tree.  

You will not be able to jump from roots to fruit.  There are steps involved.   My last article discussed the "Who Do I Know List".  This list hold the roots of your tree.  Now we want to water those roots.  We need to do a couple thing to get more customers.  There are many simple strategies you can use to find more customers.   My suggestions a geared towards finding customers for my Avon business, but, these strategies can be modified to find customers for any direct sales business you may be involved in.  

      1.       Ask a Beauticean or Nail Salon Owner if you can leave brochures in their waiting area. 

Deliver brochures every campaign.   Make sure you give a gift (skin care samples) to everyone that works there.  When you call it a gift, they feel extra special about it.  Follow up with all employees and collect their skin care order 3-4 days later.

      

      2.       Always carry brochures with you.  Whether you are in line at Walmart or at the park,

potential customers are all around you.  Offer people you meet your brochure.  But, in order for  you to do this, you must always be prepared with brochures.  Once a week, my daughters and I label every brochure I have.  Then we load them into the trunk of my car.  This way, even if I am running late and forget to grab brochures from my office,  I always have brochures in my car. 

      3.  Ask 5 of your customers if they can give you the name and phone number of 3 friends that might like Avon products.  If you use your contacts from the "Who do I know?" list you created, you would have at least 150 new customers.  Please contact me if you do not know what the “Who do you know?” list is.

     4.    Incorporate the Power of 3 into your day.  At the beginning of every campaign, I place 21 brochures into my car.  Every day, I give a brochure to 3 new people.  This could be while I'm in line at Walmart, at the park with my daughters or eating at a restaurant.  Giving out 3 a day, takes the pressure off.  Ask them for their contact information (email or phone number) so that you can contact them later regarding upcoming sales.  You determine how many brochures you would like to give away each campaign and work towards your goal.  Avon suggests 21.  By doing this, you will receive 21 new customers every campaign, 42 new customers a month or 546 new customers per year.

 

      5.       Add all of your customers, family, and friends email address to your web office address book.  Avon will automatically email them your ebrochure and advertisements.  Use your web office to email your customers every campaign, letting them know when you are going to place your order. 

      This is just the beginning.  I hope these steps will help you.  There are many strategies you can use to build your business.  I will discuss more later this week.  Be sure to follow this blog to stay current.

Steps to Six Figures - Building A Strong Foundation

Let’s us all get back to basics for one minute. Many people have been confused into thinking that successful businesses are built from one DRAMATIC EVENT.  This definitely is not the case.  Most businesses are successful because of consistent diligence in the basic steps.  My favorite step that I tend to revisit is my "Who Do I Know List".  This will help you build a strong foundation.

When I started my business I created a list of 50 people.  This list consisted of family, friends, coworkers, and people that I knew.  This list is very important in creating your customer base.  While growing your business the people on this list will build your confidence in sales, encourage you and refer people to you.  Never throw this list away.  You will refer back to it when business slows down a little.  I normally go through the list every three months.  A lot can happen in three months.  They might not have had enough money to buy from me in January, but, things could have changed in April.

#1 - If you do not have this list, recreate it.  Go through your cell phone and make a list of 50 people.  It doesn’t matter if you believe they will buy Avon or the product your are selling.  Sometimes we cut our own foot off by saying “they won’t buy from me”.  Then we create 100 reasons why someone won’t buy from us.  You never really know who will and who won’t buy.  Now go make your list.

Side note:  I have a customer that makes minimum wage.  She called me one day saying she wanted to place an order.  Of course in my mind, I assumed this wasn’t going to be a big sale.  Much to my surprise she orders $50-$100 every campaign.  We should never assume whether someone will buy from us or not.  We should ALWAYS offer them the opportunity to purchase.

#2 - Now that you have your list, contact EVERYONE on it.  Tell them “I’ve started my own business and was hoping you could look through my website and let me know if there is anything you like.”  Yes, very simple.  Your friends and family will most likely want to be supportive.  Even if they only purchase 1 lip gloss, we don’t look down on any sale.

#3 – Ask everyone on your list if you can bring them a brochures so they can see the products you are selling.  When they say yes, schedule a time and place to meet with them.  If possible, don’t just give them the brochure and allow them to call you later with the order.  Sit down with them as they look through the brochure.  Show your excitement about the products.  Encourage them to buy items that they show an interest in.  Sitting down with the customer will normally double your sale.

#4 – Ask everyone on your list if they can refer 3 people to you.  Ask for their contact information.  Call those three people.  Let them know that “Beth suggested I contact you regarding Avon.  Would you like a current brochure?.  If you do this with everyone on your “WDIK” list, you will have 150 potential customers.

#5 – Add everyone from your “WDIK” list and all your referrals to your web office or datebase of contacts.  Avon will automatically send them emails about current sales.  You can also use the web office to email everyone letting them know when you will be placing your next order.

#6 - Ask everyone from your “WDIK” list if they can bring a couple brochures to work with them.  Offer them 10% in free products for all sales they collect.  They would be an “Avon Helper”.  Contact me if you need me to explain “Avon Helper”.

I hope this helps you build your business on a strong foundation.   Please contact me if you need my help in anyway.

p.s. Step #4 is very important to the growth of your business.  I ask my customers for referrals often.  They have access to people you probably will never meet without their help.

5 Strategies to increase your sales.

I just wanted to share a couple tips that keep my business growing.

1. Your fortune IS in the follow up.  Follow up with every brochure or sample you give away to potential customers.  Even if they don't place an order, offer them a new brochure in the next campaign.

2. There really is money in the power of 3. Give out 3 brochures to 3 new people every day will give you 42 new customers every campaign.  Of course they won't all place an order that campaign.  But if you follow up correctly eventually they will.

3. Be consistent. Create a schedule for your business and stick to it. This will prevent you from dropping the ball or becoming overwhelmed.

4. When someone shows an interest in your business close the deal immediately. If they say they want to sign up, sign them up immediately! Don't allow time to eat away at their interest. If they want to place an order, receive the order and payment immediately.

5. Set a weekly goal for yourself and celebrate when you accomplish it. Reward yourself for your hard work. You deserve it! Post your success on here so we can celebrate with you.

I hope this helps you. I am always available to help you grow your business.

Experts in her field - Origami Owl

My name is Lindsey Sahualla, I am an Independent Designer with Origami Owl. I started my Origami Owl business in January 2014. I first saw the product a few months prior to signing up to sell. I fell in love instantly. I absolutely love being able to share the O2 love with family, friends and everyone I meet. Our jewelry if very unique. Origami Owl living lockets allow people to put charms inside the locket to be able to tell a specific story. People connect on such an emotional level as they are creating their lockets, they begin to share their special memories and life stories.

In 2010, the founder of Origami Owl , Bella Weems, started with $350 and a simple dream in mind—getting a car on her16th birthday. When she was 14, she asked her parents for a car but they said she needed to work for it. So, with all of her babysitting money and her family’s support, she set out to start her own business and created Origami Owl.

People loved creating stories with jewelry and women began asking how they could share Origami Owl with their own family and friends.

OUR MISSION IS TO BE A FORCE FOR GOOD; TO LOVE, INSPIRE

+ MOTIVATE PEOPLE OF ALL AGES TO REACH THEIR DREAMS +

EMPOWER THEM TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF OTHERS.

But there is something else Bella wants you to know, we’ve always been so much more than just a jewelry company. From the beginning Bella wanted her company to be different, she wanted it to be a force for good; to help others achieve their dreams like she achieved hers.
