  • Cross sell, up sell, what to sell, we all sell!

    Do you sell many products of one brand? Do you sell many brands and many products? Do you cross-sell beauty customers by suggesting appropriate health supplements or jewelry? Do you approach new customers with Ribbon Gift Collections and then upsell them to our core brands like Nutrilite and Artistry? Recently, a successful retailing IBO sent me ...

  • Type, edit, spell check, pause, ponder, and then hit send

    E-mail is an excellent communication vehicle but it has its own set of challenges. It's a great shortcut for salespeople, but, in my opinion, it should be combined with voice and face-to-face contact with customers and colleagues. I am sure a few people reading this who know me well are snickering. How credible can my message on this be? ...

  • Coming soon! May day, Ribbon Gift Collections, Cinco de Mayo, Mother's Day, more

    May day is certainly a day to celebrate! It's not only the first day of May, it's the promise of spring, the joy of fresh flowers -- vividly colored tulips, pretty pastel hyacinths, blossoming trees and shrubs. In Europe, this day is filled with festivities complete with dancing around a garlanded pole called a maypole, from ...

  • Customer service makes the difference

    I have just returned from vacation. Spent a few days in Naples, Florida visiting my mother. She's 82, going on 39. If I have half the energy and positive attitude she has when I am in my 80s, I will be fortunate. She's a great example of how positive attitude and self care can make a huge difference in quality of life. But, that's ...

  • No, no, no ...

    When you hear no, how do you feel? Do you cringe? Back away? Think about giving up? Feel rejected? Consider yourself a failure? Many do. No is powerful in a destructive way. What if someone suggested you Go for NO! What if they told you this itty bitty word had the strength to keep you from meeting your sales goals and quotes  ... from ...

  • Wordwise and wanting to learn more

    This weekend, I ended up at my favorite local bookstore, discovered a book called Words that Work-It's Not What You Say, It's What People Hear by Dr. Frank Luntz. (Available through B&N, your Quixtar Partner Store.) I took the book with me to the cafe, ordered coffee, sat down, and read vrtually the entire book. I couldn't ...

  • An event to many, a great sales opportunity for you

    It's true! Beginnning March 1, event sales by IBOs at temporary health and beauty shows and certain sporting events will be allowed. Is that sensational sales news, or what? The first OppZone news on this change, "A NEW RULE TO HELP IBOS SELL MORE PRODUCTS" was posted on Adatudes by Gary VanderVen, January 31. This ...

  • Try, try again ... hang in there ... never give up

    It's winter here in Michigan. I mean real winter. Snow. Ice. Wind. More snow. No sunshine. Grey skies. You get the picture. And I am feeling uninspired ... anybody else struggling with selling and sponsoring these days? Anyone else feeling like they're no good at the sales stuff? I am. I wish I had Sunshine in a bottle. I think I could ...
