Four reasons to take advantage of your Direct Sales Enrollment Special

October 22, 2016 By: Denisecomment

Did your Direct Sales brand offer an enrollment special to become a consultant for the price of a cup of coffee? Your first thought might have been that this isn’t going to benefit your business. Here are four reasons you should jump at the chance during your next Direct Sales enrollment special offer.

Your company did the work for you

Your company created the offer, the infrastructure and the assets. They are now giving you free reign to offer the business to literally anyone with a pulse. You will never have a bigger pool of potential team members than during this type of enrollment opportunity. Before now, you only offered the opportunity to a few people a week, on your time and your schedule. You had no deadline so many of your prospects weren’t moved to action.

The price eliminates almost all objections

Do you have fence sitters? People who have expressed interest but never got off the fence. Perhaps they didn’t have money for a kit or too much on their plate. By giving them this enrollment offer, you can literally clear your fence-sitting list. At the end of the day they either will or won’t join, but the price will no longer be an objection.

Enrollment special

Moving contacts to consultants will grow your brand recognition

Are you afraid of losing paying customers? If you are relying on past customers as your only source of income then your business has stalled. How about converting those customers to consultants and taking advantage of the enrollment offer? They are already some of your best Brand Ambassadors and brand recognition is key to growing your overall business.

Focused sponsoring process will clear the decks

When Origami Owl announce the $2 enrollment special, I saw an opportunity to turn sponsoring into a five-day Olympic sport. I grabbed the stack of Customer Contact Cards, hostess rosters and former team member lists.The five day enrollment window and low price would either move them from the fence or give me the green light to bless and release.

What were my results?

I sent out a teaser by email, text and/or Facebook messenger. That opened a door to a conversation, a door to see if Origami Owl might be right for them right now. For some, the kit was the best option for them but we never would have had that conversation if the $2 enrollment special wasn’t offered. And you know what else? Many didn’t respond, some said no and others said they’d prefer to be my retail customer. Do you know what I did get? I got twenty-seven new personally sponsored designers enrolled in my front line, many of whom then sponsored their own new team members bringing my team grand total to 46 new designers. Forty-six new business owners, forty-six holiday paychecks and forty-six lives changed. Many, for the cost of a cup of coffee.

 

I’m a brand new consultant. Now what?

I’m a brand new consultant. Now what? First, congratulations on joining the ranks of millions of Direct Sellers!
If you haven’t already, setup a training call with your mentor or upline leader. Next, make a list of the different ways of reaching your potential customers (one on one sales, catalog or Facebook party, home show, craft shows). Which ones appeals to your most? Make a list of the people you know. Don’t pre-judge whether or not they will want to purchase your product or service, just make the list. That list is your your warm market list, people who will be the first you share your excitement and new consultant announcement with. Once you notify your warm market, what do you do next? What if they aren’t interested? So many consultants find themselves in their second month in business with no one left in their warm market to talk to. I want to let you know where you can begin to build relationships and fill your funnel from the comfort of your home in your bunny slippers even at 3am.warm marker list new consultant denise curran
Now that you’ve exhausted your warm market, you want to meet new people. But who and how? I suggest that new Consultants make a list of at least ten of their interests, hobbies as well as a list of what hats they wear daily such as mom, teacher, volunteer etc. These are areas you are knowledgeable in. A Rocket Science group would not be a place I’d be engaging unless I first understood Rocket Science!
One way you can begin to grow your market as a new consultant is to join Facebook groups that are relative to you, who you are and what you love. This is the slow and steady way to meet new people and grow your market. There is no overnight success promised here. I suggest joining the groups that are of interest to you. Pages you want to see in your news feed and ones where you can be a contributing member by commenting and engaging. I strongly suggest you make sure that when someone wants to learn more about you that they find your brand info in your public facing ‘About Me’ section of Facebook which should lead them to your Facebook business page. This is your funnel! Have you ever seen someone list “Consultant at Brand A” with a link directly to their corporate page? Don’t be that person!
A few groups that I actively engage in are moms, college, sorority alumnae, my hometown and social media tips group such as The Socialite Suite a community of over 26,000 direct sellers and solopreneurs. Some groups allow self-promotion and others do not. You can always learn a Pages Rules by reading their pinned post. If they allow self-promotion, follow the lead of others who are sharing information about their brand. Being an active and engaged participant on any page can turn into connections, referrals, friendships, customers and even team members. If you invest your time in your community in a genuine way, your business will grow and bloom.
