How to Prepare to Launch Your Direct Sales Business

Your Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 126

How’s your new year going? Are you prepared to launch? Whether you are just starting a business, looking for a business or re-launching your current business into the new year, today’s show is going to help you with getting prepared.

Not the “I’m fixing to” stigma, or you know the kind - someone who is always getting everything just right to do a business?

I’m going to explain the difference between joining a business and launching a business.

I mean how to really spend a little time and get prepared! That’s what we will cover in today’s show…

As I have shared in the last two shows, my daughter and I have launched a new business and I thought it would be cool to pull back the curtain and show you how to start from scratch and build it.

In the last show, we talked about some specifics we used to choose the right company for us, and you can get an idea of a check list of criteria at http://JackieUlmer.com/125

Today, I’m covering how to prepare to launch and you’ll find show notes at http://JackieUlmer.com/126 so you can come back and write down some of the steps I am covering.

How to Prepare For Your Direct Sales Business Launch

Ignorance on Fire and the Fallacy there.

Joining vs Launching.

Know your products.

Order and use your products.

Start working on your own customer testimonial. No hype!!!

Write out your list, get it out of your head.

Sort your list - how do you know these people?

Hot market, warm market, business oriented market, networking contacts, Facebook and social media, previous business contacts, mobile phone; potential referral partners.

Pull out your pre-launch list.

Plan prelaunch and then 90 days. Have a goal to work toward. Ours is an incentive trip in the Caribbean.

Success language and scripting. KNOW what to say and what to say to whom.

Phone, email, text, Facebook private message contacting, autoresponders.

Short and sweet, and NEVER give your link or company details until you get permission.

Offline Networking Events. What products/Tools will you need?

Think about social media. Do you need -

Gmail account

Blog or new domains

Autoresponders for opt ins

New SM accounts - FaceBook Business Page, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube

You may or may not. Don’t let this slow you down.

I do recommend a domain re-direct though.

I’m considering a very simple WordPress blog just to share and track my daily activities and growth. This way, interested prospects can follow along. Thinking about the duplication aspect of it, though.

Get familiar with the tools. Order business cards, and anything else you will need.

Get trained by your sponsor and take notes so you know how to get someone else new started. And, even if you are seasoned, take this step so you don’t reinvent the wheel.

Develop your Daily Method of Operation.

GET STARTED.

So, here are some ACTION STEPS for you -

Know, Use and Share Your Product story.

Write your list down. EVERYONE. Don’t be fearful; when you know what to say, and you do it right, you’ll have success. 95% success right now in at least getting people to take a look!

Start contacting. Set your daily minimum.

Use good success language, avoid hype and ask for referrals.

Follow up consistently.
