Reaching Goals in Direct Sales

Written by Kara Kelso

From surveys and experience, we've noticed many setting excellent goals for their business. We've also noticed that while repparttar

goals being set are good, repparttar 116366

results aren't. Around 90% of those in Direct Sales do SET goals, but never reach them.

So repparttar 116367 question comes to mind.....are you making repparttar 116368 right plans to reach your goals? It's GREAT to set a certain amount you want to make, so you have a little motivation, but without repparttar 116369 proper planning reaching that goal is going to be more difficult.

Ask yourself repparttar 116370 following questions:

What have you done in repparttar 116371 past that created sales? How can you improve on ideas for creating sales? What ideas for sales have you seen but not tried?

Take a minute to write down every way you can think of to make your sales (such as through parties, catalog shows, drawings, etc), then make some more specific goals for doing each task. Such as "contact 10 people and book at least 3 shows".

I can remember repparttar

first trip my husband and I went on – all expenses paid – direct sales company I worked for. It was an all expense paid stay in Athens, Greece, and a cruise of repparttar 116365

Greek Islands. Still ranks as one of repparttar 116366

best trips I’ve ever had.

“Wow, I’m so thrilled I won this trip.”, I told a colleague.

“Debbi, you did not WIN this trip. You earned it.”

That came to mind today as I was reading an article in Jeffrey Gitomer’s newsletter. A real estate agent was writing in because he was having challenges with all repparttar 116367 flat-rate agencies out there. Jeffrey related several problems he saw in repparttar 116368 guy’s thinking, but then made a profound statement.

“Quit making money and start earning it.”

You see, a lot of people think that’s repparttar 116369 same thing. And that’s why they continue to struggle in their home business or with their home based business opportunity.

Most anyone can make money, but it takes a little more creativity and gumption to earn it. Here are a few things that come to mind…which do you do?

Making money by blasting your email list with any piece of junk that has a high commission?

Or earning money by evaluating products first and recommending only those which will help your prospects and customers?
