12 Things Successful People Do Differently in Direct Sales
These 12 things are certainly true in Direct Sales and Network Marketing and also in life or business of any kind!
#1 – Successful people create and pursue S.M.A.R.T. Goals and they write them down. SMART Goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time Bound. Measurable and Achievable can be sketchy. Sometimes, goals change, and you want to certainly pursue achievable goals. And, realistic can be a stretch in the beginning, but nothing wrong with big goals.
#2 – Successful people take decisive and immediate action. Nothing creates momentum and excitement more than immediate (and massive) action. We all know what busy work is in Network Marketing.
#3 – Successful people focus on productive action and not just being busy. look back over the last week and rate yourself on how much was busy work, and how much was productive, as in income producing activities?
#4 – Successful people make logical, informed decision. Success in business requires decision making regularly. Don’t spend too much time over analyzing these things?
#5 – Successful people avoid the trap of trying to make everything look perfect. There is no room for perfection in business. Success is all about getting into action and trying, testing , tweaking and seeing what happens.
#6 – Successful people work outside of their comfort zone. I know, you don’t want to hear this, but it is TRUE! The more action you will take to get yourself out of your comfort zone, the easier it will get.
#7 – Successful people keep things simple. Network Marketing is simple, but not easy, and really, the only part that isn’t easy is what goes on between our ears. Use tools, don’t try to explain everything and take the necessary action steps.
#8 – Successful people focus on small, and continuing improvements. If you will just get into action, you will grow and improve. Each time you talk to someone about your Direct Sales opportunity, you get a little better.
#9 – Successful people measure and track their progress. Tracking is so important. At the end of the month, you want to have a tracking sheet so you can see what you actually did to move your business forward. Who did you contact? Who did you follow up with? What did you track?
#10 – Successful people maintain a positive outlook as they learn from mistakes. And, really there are no mistakes. It is all about trying and testing and making small improvements on what you learn from those actions. We all have times when we say too much, but that’s how we learn.
#11 – Successful people spend time with the right people. On your team, and with prospects is so important. And, attending company conventions is the next area you want to get around the right people with the right mindset you have the experience and knowledge to assist you.
#12 – Successful people maintain balance in their life. Now, I have always struggled with the word balance and you may, too. It’s a bit of a myth to think we will always have “balance.” Be committed to spending quality time in the right areas of your life. You know what those are. There must be room for family and relationships, health and wellness, spiritually as well as your business. Make sure there is time for all areas.
And, create systems to help your business stay in gear even when you aren’t there pushing it forward. Create a pinch me business with automation!
It’s great to create leads and income even when you aren’t there, face to face with others!
