In my 22 years working with direct selling companies, I have observed that when the economy gets tougher, more people are interested in joining direct selling companies.

There is no easier place to go than a direct selling company to earn additional income. Be sure to let your independent representatives know this so that they can offer your opportunity as a solution to a problem that many people are facing right now.

You can use the current environment to your advantage by providing your salesforce with support, tools and information to help them easily sponsor others, and ensuring that your marketing materials and business processes work together to provide a welcoming and rewarding experience.

Make it easy for new representatives to earn their first few hundred dollars quickly so that they become believers in your company; follow-up by telephone with every new recruit and her recruiter to ensure that your retention initiatives gain the maximum results; show that you truly appreciate your distributors’ time and efforts for your company; and give an extra dose of recognition every day for the actions that matter most.

Right now, while the summer heat is blazing, it is really like early spring for direct selling companies. Now is the time to prepare the soil, plant seeds, and water regularly to prepare for the growth that is coming.

Never forget that your opportunity is a solution that is needed by many. Get your entire business tuned up now so that you may move forward without any obstacles!
