7. Network to continually meet new people.
Thank goodness for family and friends who help you get started, but move beyond to new business contacts and you'll really see your busienss grow. Be active in your comunity whether that's at school, your neighborhood, your church, it's important to be out not sitting in your office. Join a leads group - or start one of your own. Develop your 30 second elevator speach about what you do so you can connect with others easily.
8. Be patient.
Fast food isn't fast - someone had to grow the potatos, ship them to the factory, and then someone had to slice them and package them to be shipped to the resturant. Growing your business takes patience. Over night success stories are really like fast food. When someone has overnight success, it's usually because they've built a business elsewhere already, they are walking the line they are talking about, or they were wise enough to see an opportunity and act upon it. You'll never know how many failures and experiences they already had giving them the insight and drive they have now. Follow your company plan and take action and you'll grow your business in your own time.

Tips #5 & #6 of Tips for Direct Selling Success
5. Build a team right from the start.
You don't have to know it all and you don't have to be a success in your business to share it with someone else. All you need to share is your enthusiasm. Next think about what your sponsor is doing for you and that is what you do with your new recruit. Call upon your upline to provide guidance. It's more fun to build your business with new recruits in the same position. Don't wait, start now.
6. Treat your business like a business.
Keep a separate checking account and manage your income. Reinvest in your supplies, products, and yourself. Work when you say you're going to work. Be consistent in holding show and sponsoring others. Have a separate phone line. Treat your business like a business and you'll make money. Treat your business as a hobby and you'll have fun spending money on a hobby you love. You decide!

Two more Tips to Direct Selling Success
3. Always attend training, local meetings, and national conventions.
What you learn from these amazing training opportunities is exactly what you need to know to run the business you dream of and to create the lifestyle you long for. If there is a meeting to go to, don't book a show at the same time. What you learn may be just what you need to raise your sales at all your shows. National Conventions are spectacular and they are designed to ensure you have the tools and knowledge to achieve your dreams.
4. Consistently hold shows each week.
There's no getting around it. Consultants who are consistent with 8 - 10 bookings a month have higher sales and grow a more balanced business. When you are consistent, you master your presentation, become an expert at raising sales, and secure more bookings because you are sharp and not haphazard about your approach to succeeding in direct sales. In addition, you become a better recruiter because you are out meeting more prospects. Imagine, simply holding 2 shows a week can earn you $200 - $400 or more each week.
Get the continuing education you need to be a professional direct seller. Stay consistent with your shows weekly and discover the ease of reaching your goals.
Direct selling is an incredible opportunity. Make the most of it!
