Direct sellers to do list:

Here are some tips to help you become an organized seller, paying attention to detail and make your business look more serious, which will reflect on trust from your clients and prospected clients as well:

• Clean your items and display them neatly, on a rack or on a table;

• Place the price tags in each product individually or collectively, so it is visible and clear to your customers;

• Sort your items by category, for example: eye shadows; pencils, foundations, mascaras...

• Advertise the sales: let the people know beforehand where the sales party will take place: Use Facebook, Craig's list, or send a personalized e-mail to your established clients, friends, co-workers, etc.  

• Don't clutter your items, find a balance between the amount of products you have for sale and the opportunity for them to be seen.

Cross selling

Cross selling is a marketing technique, in which the seller tries to sell to their established clients other products and services other than the ones the client original bought, being more effective if they are complementary products or services.
Next time your clients ask for the 3D Fiber Lashes mascara, show them the eyeshadows Minerals Pigment Powder, or when they show interest in buying the BB Cream , explain them great the BB Cream shades match with the lip glosses.

The power of word-of-mouth

It's the oldest tricks in the history of sales, before spot ads, billboards and online affiliate programs. When the product is good, it sells by itself and word travels far and fast, especially when the competition is tight.
Create your own referral program by rewarding your most loyal clients: every time they bring you a new client, find a way of rewarding them to show appreciation.
Keep your old clients happy and the new ones excited about your brand!

Luckily for us, we're in the XXI century, a new millennium of possibilities at just one click of a distance.

• Google Hangouts -> it's easy to create a Google Hangout. Just schedule a day and a time for the hangout, set up your webcam and invite your customers. It's like a living room environment, everyone will be able to see and hear everybody in the hangout face to face, as the one speaking is the one who appears on the screen. Also, everyone is able to hear what everyone is saying and you can still chat or send some links to your products on the chat window on your right.

Enjoy your XXI century direct sales parties !

The Rockstar Effect

Rockstars are considered superior talents, they are worshiped, opinion makers, respected and confident. If you're not ready yet to be a rockstar in your business, try hiring one to the next sales party or booth event: you will surprise and engage your community and customers, and you'll get enough inspiration to become one yourself. Hire a professional make up artist to your event and challenge him to use only the products you're selling on your client's complete make overs. You can actually make it as a game and raffle 3 or 4 make overs through your event guests. Not only this will be a way of showing off your product's potential at a professional level, but your customers will be focused on learning new techniques with the products they are already familiar with.
