The list - What's inspiring me this week!

Published: Mon, 11/13/17


Hi ,


It’s the GOLDEN TIME!

The golden time is that time of the year when you can break records and have the best sales, be a top recruiter and literally grow your business twice as fast as any other time in the year.   Here’s my latest list of what’s inspiring me to help my coaching clients excel and step up to having their strongest year ever!

5 Ways to Increase Sales during the Golden Time

I’m pretty much a Christmas freak.  I LOVE getting out the tree and decorating my home with my tree of only hand-made Christmas ornaments.  I also have a collection of Santa’s (mostly hand made) and I try to add one or more to this collection every year.  So, I was totally inspired to write my latest blog post that starts out like this.

In this year of 2017, there are more people connected to their smart phones, their desk-top computers ordering goods online than ever!  Social media is at an ALL TIME high during the golden time.  That means people are on their Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest apps MORE than every!  They are typing in KEY WORDS to find the right gifts for the right people, and YOU want to be part of their gift giving wish list!  This means there are more potential customers and hostesses waiting to see what you’re offering.  Here are my top FIVE SECRETS to increase your sales during this amazing golden time…  read the whole blog post here (and be sure to download the freebie.) 

 

Now is the time to give RAVING FAN SERVICE

In the first of every month all members in my CG Academy membership program get a W.I.N. (What’s Important Now) worksheet with prompts and projections for the current month to keep your business on track.  We also have a monthly training webinar which is archived for future use, and a special secret Facebook group with special tips in growing your team.    Each month I recommend a professional development book because I believe this is the KEY to keeping your mindset focused on being successful in your business.  This month’s book recommendation is “Raving Fans” by Ken Blanchard and Sheldon Bowles.   They say, “If you really want a booming business, you have to create Raving fans.”   And this month’s training is “How to Create Raving Fans in your Customer VIP Facebook Group.”  I believe this is your OWN real estate where you can truly use innovative techniques to give your customers the utmost RAVING FAN service they will love!   For only a small monthly investment you can join in the CG Academy here!

My favorite podcast

We’ve had good rain this past week and the pastures are turning green.   So, I’m still walking and improving my brain listening to podcasts.  One of my favorites  is  the Problogger Podcast blog tips with Darren Rouse.  I really get into the groove hearing his Aussie accent and feel like I’m back home, as I believe blogging is an important marketing platform that all direct sellers should  embrace.  In face, watch this space in 2018 for a special workshop on How to attract more team members using a blog.  Check out Problogger here


Monday Minute Team Building Tip

I hope you find the time to tune in to my MONDAY MINUTE Team building tips.  I go LIVE on my Facebook Biz Page every Monday at 1pm EST and then I re-purpose these video’s into my You tube Channel.  The latest series is about “How to Get the Most out of Trade Shows & Vendor Events.”  Look for that free download as well..  Here’s a link to my latest episode.

Finally this week, we are nearly ready to go to press with
the 2018 DIRECT SALES PLANNER
 
I think you’ll love the new cover and there are some exciting changes this year that will help you plan your business every day, every week, every month to achieve that big yearly goal!    Look for an update from me around November 15th!

Have an amazing week!  Be inspired to make the most of the Golden Time!

Love and Success,
