Hello, ,

 

What’s your status right now?   Are you happy and busy and getting in the groove of having everyone at home 24/7 and working your business around it?   Or are you ready for this to be done and over?

 

In my last ezine, I talked about making SHIFTS in your business.  Shifts towards growing your business ONLINE.   And I am seeing amazing shifts with my coaching clients and those who have embraced this online world.

 

• Leaders are helping their team members take baby steps to feel comfortable online.  One leader does weekly zoom sessions and the team is responding with their highest sales ever.
• Another client has grown new bookings and 10 new customers by reaching out with a customer appreciation event.
• Another leader held her first Team Mega Facebook Party and now team members have bookings in May and new recruits joining because they want to work an ONLINE home- based business.

 

In my FREE Facebook Group  this week, I asked how confident are you at holding ONLINE parties?  And many people said “yes.”   That’s the GOOD NEWS.  You have an online business and there are others out there looking for a home-based ONLINE Business.

 

 

In This week’s Monday Team Building tip, I answer the question

“Is it a Good time to Grow your Team and Recruit now?”

So, we are still at home…  We are still isolating, but people want to CONNECT more than ever, so we have to find ways to connect ONLINE.   Here are my THREE tips to connecting with customers ONLINE.

 

#1  Entertain Virtually.   Think of gathering people together!  That’s key right now.  They want to be entertained.  Every Friday, I’m holding a “Friday Tea & Fashions” zoom gathering where we drink tea, have lovely conversations about life in quarantine and I throw in style tips about my three C’s to looking good – feeling chic, confident and comfortable.   There is “no purchase necessary.”  This is for entertainment.  Think of ways to entertain your customers with a customer appreciation event or weekly gathering and build those connections.

 

#2  Educate Virtually.  Your products have solutions and these are the stories to share with your customers right now.   Solutions that will help them get through quarantine.   One coaching client is holding a weekly “game” night with her customers.   She’s sharing stories and helping learn more about her products.  One game was a Catalog Bingo and her customers loved it. 

 

#3  Escape Virtually.  Yes, we need to escape from our situation, but it has to be virtual.  There are customers who have never been on zoom and this is your chance to help them learn something new.  When they connect with other like-minded people and escape from the grind of a house full of 24/7, it allows them to look beyond and make new plans.  You can take your customers on an imaginary journey with your “unique” ONLINE shopping experience.

 

Make it a point to connect with customers VIRTUALLY right now!  Find out their status?  How they’re handling this upside-down world of isolation and sheltering at home.  

 

If you’re going to stay in the game of having a DIRECT SALES business, showing up ONLINE is the answer if you want to survive and grow.   If you need more assistance to learning more about holding a  VIRTUAL ONLINE party, check out my latest Master class on
