Overcoming Obstacles: My Journey to Success in Direct Sales - A Testimonial

DZmom · Nov 10, 2006

I have a NEW recruit!! She's signing once her show closes next week. Plus, my $1000 hostess and her boyfriend stopped by tonight and she's considering signing to help pay for wedding costs!!! Plus, I have 2 more that wants to sign after the holidays!!! I'm definitely going on that trip next year!!! I just feel it. After a crappy July, August, September and nearly losing my consultant status over some complaints, I'm finally back on track!!!! YEAH!!!

This just goes to show that no matter what the obstacle, prayer, diligence and perseverence(sp?) will get you through. I just kept reminding myself of the consultant in another branch of my cluster family that is totally deaf and still does Cooking Shows! If she can have a successful business in an industry where your voice is ALMOST your bread and butter, than I needed to quit making excuses and think outside the box. AND IT'S STARTED WORKING!!! My calendar is almost where I want it and I'm just a little behind on the Director promotion goal, but I'll get there!!

Thanks so much to each and everyone of you for your advice, guidance, and support. Even if you didn't know you were giving it. This site is so wonderful.

I was wondering the same thing... do we know when we get complaints?

DZmom · Nov 11, 2006

The complaints HO received were from customers that accused me of stealing their money, when their host's refused to close their shows for over a month. It was a HUGE mess.

That is just awful!!!!!!! I am so glad you're doing well!!!

Way to hang in there - the complaints might have been enough for some of us to just GIVE UP

Keep your chin up and keep on recruiting..

I nearly did!! Luckily I have a FABULOUS director and she's helped pull me through. She called my upline and together they wrote letters to HO and said if that didn't work they were calling BECKY!! I'm very lucky to have the Director support I have. I don't think I could do this without my director!!

Donna:
Forever more do not give up! You know when I worked at HO it was all pro consultant and I want to beleive that it still is. They really pull for us and Doris beleives in us totally. Please just walk upright and pray. There will always be a door that we have to walk thru to get to the top and some have a rusty hinge, but those are the ones that make us grow and become stronger! WAVE, GIRL!!!!!!
