I like to get my name out in the public by doing inexpensive vendor shows, fundraisers at schools, donating items for raffles, etc. You may not get alot of sales at these functions, but you get your name and company out there and I think it's well worth the time, especially when you're newer at the biz. It's also valueable to pass your info. onto other direct sales consultants, b/c we run into customers all the time that may turn into leads for you.

Hope this helps you out...I know exactly how you feel!

Hi L., Im sorry I never heard of them. I have a home based business and I have done alot of research on building my business. The most important factor is: relationships - build a relationship - dont jump right in with your products or services. People respect people who Listen to what They have to say and what They want. Start a conversation with someone - when they ask you what you do - share it - dont jump in a say do you want to have a party. If they are interested they will let you know. Building relationships first is fundamental and it is why so many fail in the home business arena - they are not taught to Listen. Hope it helps --if I can help you with anything else, let me know. You need to understand, you cant focus on building Fast - you need to focus on building Right. News travels quickly once people get to know and trust you. Good Luck

I am a Mary Kay consultant and love it. The most important think to remember is You Must Believe to Achieve. I can, I will, I Believe. Without that you with fill you head with negative thoughts and let fear get in the way. Read The Secret. For some it may be out there. I am a Christian and can see how the book could be misinterpreted. But you can take from it now matter what religion you are or what you believe there is something to learned. It is so helpful. Start with affirmations. Write one and say it every morning. Hang it up around the house, on your bathroom mirror, on your kitchen cabinet, on your rear view mirror, on your computer, so you are constantly reading it. The more you see it the more you say it, you will believe it and it will happen. Make a goal poster, what are your dreams what are your desires? Put them on a poster board and hang it where you will see it everyday. I know these things probably sound silly, but they will help. Hopefully your company offers training weekly or something, take advantage of all you can get, everything is motivational and helpful. If you need more advice I would love to talk more to you.
Hope this helps.
