Today, we tackle the question that every single direct seller asks themselves in their darkest moments:
“Why do other people get party bookings & I don’t?”
To answer this question, I think it’s going to help you a lot, for you to know how terrible I was as a direct sales person when I began. Many times we think the bad stuff only happens to us, and you might see someone like me (Melanie Parker, founder of Party Plan 123), now a trainer who teaches you how to get party bookings, and you might be thinking…. “Well, it was easy for Melanie to get bookings, why can’t it be easy for me?” The reality is, it was not easy for me and sometimes I feel that if we just be more honest to each other and share the tough times that we go through when starting our party plan business, this does so much for us just to take the pressure off ourselves and to give ourselves hope! Let me tell you more about my terrible beginning in direct selling and then we’ll talk about ‘How to go from BAD to GREAT in Party Plan’…. sound good?
You know, when I started out in party plan I was really BAD at doing some of my first parties…. I was BAD at getting the bookings, stopping cancellations, inviting the right people to join my team & even sometimes just getting the sales!
But, I had also been really BAD at sales when I started in my old career as a sales person in the gym. So bad, in fact, that when my 3 month probation was over, my boss opted to extend my probation another 3 months again just to make sure I was going to be an employee that was worth keeping! I guess in the long run, she’s glad she didn’t fire me as I ended up becoming one of the top sales people for the company in the whole country…. but it took me many small steps to get there, many embarrassing mistakes along the way & a keen desire to learn from my expert trainers.
Because I had gone through that personal growth and understanding in my fitness sales career, when it came to Party Plan, I already knew that I could be successful as long as I first had a strong desire to be in direct sales with a keen sense of WHY I wanted to do this. I was quietly confident that the skills of a GREAT Party Plan Consultant could be learned if I only invested my time diligently into learning them. And the final piece of the puzzle was in the daily ACTION…. I knew that any great result requires consistent action on the right activities. If I did small things every day that helped me produce income as a direct seller, then nothing could stop me from going from BAD to GREAT!
