Growing Your Direct Sales Business by Growing Your Team

Many direct sales companies offer a tiered system. A tiered system means you can recruit other consultants. Each new consultant you recruit then becomes part of your team. They work independently. However, you can mentor them and help them succeed. Youre invested in their success. Each sale they make gives you a commission. For example, you have five consultants you recruited and you earn a 5% commission on their sales. If they each sell $1000 in products next month, you earn an extra $250. Twelve months of this means you earn an extra $3000. And if each of your recruits then recruits five more people your income will continue to grow. Its an amazing opportunity to profit. While each company offers their own commission scale and incentives, this example demonstrates the potential a tier-based system offers. It also demonstrates the importance of helping your team prosper and sell. Here are just some of the ways you can help them sell more products. * Mentor them by creating a website and marketing that site. Many people are unfamiliar with the concept of internet marketing. Yet the internet may account for half of your sales. It can be a huge profit maker. * Assist them with their first couple of parties. Party planning and hosting can be extremely nerve-racking the first time you do it. Having someone who knows what to expect can be invaluable. * Be a motivational coach. Owning a business has its ups and downs. If you can be there to support and motivate your team members, theyll be much more successful. You can actually get together to have brainstorming and support sessions as a group. Make it part social, part business and have fun. * Share any time management tips and organization strategies youve learned. If your team members are able to optimize their business, theyll have more energy and time to sell. They make more money. You make more money. Its a win-win situation. * Help them recruit new consultants too. Share with them the potential profit a tier-based system offers. You still earn a commission when your recruits find new consultants and they earn a commission too.
