Boost Your Sales: Proven Tips for New Consultants to Reach $1500 Goal

[nizikki]

Okay, so I am a new consultant (started April 30). In May I made over $1500 in sales... the next month I did almost $1000, and so far this month have somewhere around $800. I feel like I've hit a slump. I have exhausted all my contacts (but have only submitted 5 shows), and can't seem to get my facebook friends to order from me even when they keep telling me that they will (without my prodding even).

I really REALLY want to get to the $1500 level of the Free for All but I'm worried that I won't make it.

Does anyone have some advice for me? I'd really appreciate it!!

Start making customer care calls....check in with all of your customers who placed orders in the last 2 months and see how they like them, do they have questions or problems, etc. take it from there and ask if they had anything on their wish list....tell them about the July Host special to get more stuff for free! The idea is to get a booking or two!
it sounds like you had a good start, but maybe aren't getting bookings at your shows that will keep you going. You don't just want them to order. You want them to HOST...meet new people.Take the ONline Training Center's Customer Care training course for more ideas.
Following up with them, could lead you to more shows on your calendar. And if that person doesn't want to host a show, then ask them if they know someone who would be interested in getting things free for their kitchen! Or maybe ask it that way FIRST... "Hey, I was wondering, do you know of anyone who would be interested in getting some free kitchen tools just by having some friends over?" She might say , "Uh YEAH..>ME!" or she may give you a referral.Either way....don't let customer care opportunities pass you by (trust me...I know!!).

1. Reach out to new contacts. Don't rely solely on your existing contacts to make sales. Attend local events, fairs, and festivals to meet new people and introduce them to your products. You can also reach out to friends of friends, coworkers, and acquaintances to expand your customer base.2. Offer incentives for referrals. Encourage your existing customers to refer their friends and family to you by offering them a discount or free product for each referral that makes a purchase.3. Utilize social media. Use your social media platforms to showcase your products and share special offers and promotions. You can also join online groups and communities related to your products to reach a larger audience.4. Host virtual parties. If hosting in-person parties is not an option, consider hosting virtual parties through Facebook or Zoom. This allows you to reach a larger audience and make sales without leaving your home.5. Follow up with potential customers. If someone expresses interest in your products but hasn't made a purchase, follow up with them after a few days to see if they have any questions or need help placing an order.6. Offer personalized customer service. Make sure to provide excellent customer service to your existing customers to keep them coming back for more. This can also lead to positive word-of-mouth referrals.7. Expand your product line. Consider adding new products to your line to attract new customers and keep existing ones interested. This can also help increase your average order amount.8. Set achievable goals. Instead of focusing solely on hitting the $1500 mark, set smaller, achievable goals for yourself each month. This will help keep you motivated and on track.9. Attend trainings and conferences. Take advantage of any trainings or conferences offered by your company to learn new sales techniques and strategies from successful consultants.10. Stay positive and persistent. Building a successful business takes time and effort. Don't get discouraged by a slow month and keep pushing yourself to reach your goals. Stay positive and persistent, and success will come.
