Friday Sales Tip – Prepare Before Every Dem

“Preparation” is an often-ignored critical step before the Dem. There are three parts to preparation before going for the dem:

Get your sales kit organized: Make sure you have all of the six essentials, in good condition, and in place…

  • Prospectus
  • Set of broadsides in a clear folder
  • Clipboard folder with the price list, order form, pen and spare business cards
  • Leave-behind folder with product sheets, book mark and a name card
  • Demo Walter in the pouch (both wiped clean often)
  • Notebook for referrals

Your appearance: Dress appropriately. Look professional. Smell pleasant.

Most importantly, mental preparation: You can choose to think negative thoughts – I hope this appointment doesn’t get cancelled; nobody buys from me etc. etc. Or you can choose to imagine yourself giving a perfect dem. Think through all the steps of selling and prepare yourself to deliver the perfect script with the right emotions and expressions! Imagine getting an order and lots of referrals!

Did you find this tip useful? Please take half a minute to leave a comment if you did.

Questions About iPods, Online Training Videos…

We had over 50 registrations for the Online Training Videos yesterday – mostly from the Gulf, Hong Kong, India and Pakistan, and few from Indonesia, Philippines and Sri Lanka. Very encouraging indeed!

However, many have registered without their country names so we cannot distinguish them from the customers who register. Please note that you cannot get access unless you have your full name and country name e.g. Veera Sutantarat – Thailand. Please do not include company names or city names.

We also had a few questions through comments and through emails:

1. How do I win an iPod? These are from people who have seen the post on Free iPods, but not the one about the Online Training Videos. So we have been directing them to this link.

2. Why do I need to register at the ‘Customers Forum’? That’s because we do not have registration mechanics on this Forum. On our main site, we can track registrations and logins.

3. I have registered but I can’t access. That’s because the Online Training Videos will only go live on 15th February. Please write down your User Name and Password, and login on 15th February.

For any more question, please feel free to email us.

Hong Kong Conference Day 1

Wow, what a day! Most delegates arrived during the day to have some free time before the action-packed evening. The brand-new Hyatt Regency in the heart of TST Hong Kong is our home for these 2-3 days! Everyone seemed to love the blue ETL jackets. The Hats theme for the Welcome Night was a big hit, and we saw quite a number of unique hats. We had a spectacular walk along the harbor and a group photo against the beautiful skyline of Hong Kong!

The 10-course dinner at a popular Chinese restaurant was fabulous. We saw an amazing demonstration of noodle-making skills! The winners of the Best Hats were Sarah and Kanchan from the Gulf, and Narjis from Pakistan. The evening ended with a birthday celebration for all Jan/Feb birthdays. See some photos here.

[In the photo, L-R: Shane with the winners: Kanchan, Sarah, Narjis. And the judges: Vivian, Karen and Denise.]

The Extra-Ordinary: Vanessa from India

Bangalore’s Unit Manager Vanessa, has always been highly skilled and result-oriented. However, in the last few months, she decided to take her team and team sales to another level.

From an average of 6 SCs producing 600 units a month, Vanessa has raised the bar to 11 SCs producing 1000 units a month. And she has achieved this by complete focus on her recruits’ incomes and skills developed through nonstop field training and drill sessions during Nov-Dec. Great managers always invest most of their time and effort in building a strong team!
