Start your own Direct Sales Business

Growing up my Mom would host Tupperware or Make-up Parties. Her friends would gather and invite others friends before I knew it, all kids where upstairs while the grownups worked. Then I did not understand how my Mom could possibly work when all I heard was laughter and an occasional “I Must Have That”.

Of course all that makes sense now….. Many find success working for themselves with some of the top name brands in Natural products, toys, household items and make-up. You can run your own Business and have fun while you work. You are in control of your sales and definitely get out of it what you put into it. Now, with the internet you have the potential to double or triple your sales. You can start with a small investment starting at $10.00 with some of these companies. Create your own hours “Sell online, sell on the go, sell in person or at a party. Each of these companies is dedicated to help you succeed (I will be posting more information on Direct Sales) with online course, sales training and Sales Support in every way possible.

Home Loans and your Business

Selling online usually requires a small investment but not always. For those of you not sure where to obtain the funds for inventory; you might consider a home loan. Home loans are always an option. I would always recommend that you start small and without a loan. Once your business picks up and you find you need a location, Team Members, Equipment and Inventory you may want to try a business loan or even credit cards. However, you can always obtain a home loan as back-up. The rates are usually a lot better and you can use the money towards home improvements as well. It is usually hard for Start-up business to obtain a business loan or line of credit.

Keep in mind that you can start selling online the items you have around your home. Selling your items around your home cost you nothing other than the occasional listing fees (varies on marketplace). You can also “drop ship”; the cost here is also minimal compared to stocking your own inventory. This is a great time to explore the possibilities. Sales online are doing a lot better and I know that soon you will experience the need to provide and stock larger inventory. Summer is here (almost) and this is a great time to start working on the Fall/Winter Sales Campaigns. Having inventory can give you an edge to the Holiday demand.

Have you started working on the Fall Campaigns? Do you usually stock up on the Hot Item?



Home Base Business Growing Pains

If you are finding that your home base business now needs additional support, but you are not ready to hire anyone just yet. Don’t worry, the internet is ready to help.

Customer Service is key. You might find yourself spending a lot more time, answering emails, confirming orders, tracking etc.. and not much time to answer the phone. Hiring is costly, but a wise investment. If you are not ready, you can always have voice mail take the calls for you. However, customers want contact. It can make a difference between a sale or even an unhappy customer.

When I found myself in need of assistance, but yet unsure of where exactly I was headed with my new found success, I opted to source my calls and snail mail to a Virtual Office.

Virtual Office is great for all working from home and handling a bit more than what you set out for. Moving into an Office Space or Warehouse takes a lot of money and research and time prepare to plan your strategy.

Virtual Office offers you several basic services:

A prestigious business mailing address, Telephone number, answering service, mail forwarding and conference office if needed. The prices for these services or packages vary from company and location. You can search on Google for Virtual Office.

You have other options:

Set up another phone line in your house dedicated to your Customers (Fees Vary)

You can use a service like Yahoo Voice or Skype

You can also, offer an IM service for Free or invest money on Live Chat from your website.

Planning ahead and knowing what your options are will help make your transitions a successful one.

I recall the advice I was given, it was simple: “Growing Pains” those two words can make or break your business. I will share my “Growing Pains” with you in order to serve as a guide to you.
