How Can You Build Your Direct Sales Business?

By Leah Day

There are many was you can take your direct sales products, such as L'Bri Pure n' Natural, and sell them successfully. The way in which you sell products and build your business is your Marketing Plan.

Let's look at all the ways you can sell products and the time and money committment require for each method:

Sampling Your Products

Building your business through sampling is an excellent way to establish customers that will reorder for years to come. Some direct sales companies even have sampling programs that allow your customers to order samples at no cost or obligation to you.

Even if your company doesn't have this program, most do offer samples for you to purchase in bulk and distribute yourself. This is a medium money and time investment because you will need to purchase samples and distribute them yourself.

You can distribute the samples by passing them out to people you meet in stores, giving them away for door prizes during group meetings, offering them online, and giving them to friends and family. The more samples you pass out, the greater your returns will be. Aim to distribute 30 to 60 sample kits a month and your business will blossom very quickly.

In Home Parties

A traditional way to distribute direct sales products, in home parties are still used to sell products and recruit successfully. By meeting with the largest number of potential customers at one time, you have the greatest opportunity to sell products and interact with potential recruits.

Most direct sales companies provide you with everything you need to sell products through in home parties with your starting showcase. All you need to do is take action: call friends and ask them to book parties. From those parties, try to book more parties. The process is continual so long as you maintain booking new parties and keep establishing new customers.

Sampling and in home parties can be combined very effectively. This is again a medium time commitment, as you will spend some time on the phone, or in person, drumming up support for your business. The money committment is low to medium, depending on what starting showcase you choose and what promotional items you choose to purchase for your business.

Online Sales Through a Personal Website

Selling products online is a totally different animal from selling in person. You can go out today, speak with people you know, and potentially sell products immediately. An internet business requires much more time to set up, not in actually creating your website, but in creating enough information for potential customers to find you.

That being said, setting up an online business requires very little money to start. You'll still need to join your direct sales company, and purchase your starting kit. Other than this, you can create an online website, called a Blog, totally for free.

Online Sales Through an Established Site

An alternative to the high time cost that establishing a personal website will take, you could also sell products online through an established website like Ebay.

Unfortunately this also has a flip side of getting really expensive! You will need to invest in products in bulk in order to resell them on Ebay. You could have to invest thousands of dollars before your business is even established.

One other downside is sites like Ebay do not promote customer reorders. People will always be looking for the absolute lowest price, never mind who they bought from last time.

As you can see there are many ways for you to promote your products both online and offline. All of these methods can be used together for a multifaceted approach, or used alone for equally effective sales.
