I think people are afraid of approaching others because of the skepticism of society today, especially in this economy. People are trying to hang on to their money and there are indeed some scary scams out there. What people need to do is 'homework, research' and make sure they are looking at a great company. When I researched my company, I called the BBB, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, State Attorneys office, the Federal Trade Commission. And when I mean research, NOT the internet; anybody can put anything on the internet - use your telephone and your phone book.



I have been with some good companies, however made no money, so I needed to make sure this company was financially independent, didn't owe out a lot of money. The one I found 9-years ago was debt free and still. They recently reinvested over 100,000,000.00 into company upgrades and still operate debt free and I think that says a lot for a company in this economy



Would love to share my company. http://www.workathomelivewell.com or http://www.livetotalwellness.com/mykid

I love talking to people about my business. We have some great leaders at the helm of our company. For instance we are offering a guaranteed $1000 minimum this month payable on the 15th of May. However we also have weekly bonuses where you can direct deposit your bonus money every Tuesday of the following week. When we have these bonuses, the owners take a lot of what they make and put it back into the company so we can offer this to new people; great people.



Who do you know who could use an extra $1000 or more this month?

This is so true - I have done several home base companies and nothing feels as good as the one I am part of now. I get to show moms how to cook healthy and fast. So they can enjoy the kids sporting events, concerts, or just having fun in the yard more. An all natural food company that believes in praising you to acheive the most. Honestly it is so easy, no inventory for you to keep, and they ship directly to the customer so you don't have to. Please contact me if you want more info. I have alot to share and if you are willing to learn your opportunity is endless. Super excited with my first few months success.

I agree! My motto is that for every no, there is a yes. You have to look for the Yes's! I totally agree with the way the ecoonomy is, there are lots of people looking for jobs or their own business to start. With Avon, we do the Power of 3, share the business with at least 3 people a day, but I share with everyone I come in contact with because I believe in my business and the products I sell. Anyone interested, contact me at pjblove@msn.com or go to my website to sign up today for $20 at www.youravon.com/perrinlove. What business can you start at this economical amount?

Amanda Gore ( she has a book ) She spoke at our Scentsy convention last year and told up there is a wee spot in our brain who she nick names EMMY. It protects us fro fear . So the next time you want to talk about your business or hand out a card or book etc , When you hear Emmy telling you NOT to do it . Tell her to SHUT THE H_ LL up ! You have nothing to loose move forward and face the fear .

This is so true. I feel that you have to be a product of the product and love using it because if you don't, it will show on your face and in your attitude. People just know if you are being honest and sincere or are just trying to sell them something. You have to love what you do.
I love my home business and wouldn't trade it for anything. I show appreciation and gratitude to others, and it always comes back to me. If you are looking for a business that you would love to do because everyone loves and has a need for your product, then please contact me for more information.

This is so true!! In my former direct sales business my upline director always used this analogy: Think about when you go to a restaurant or even through drive thru of a fast food place, the person serving you will ask "Would you like a dessert today or supersize that meal? Sometimes people say no, but do you think the waiter or drive thru person takes your no personally and doesn't ask anyone else for the rest of their shift? Absolutely not because some people will say yes! We have to look at our business in the same way. It doesn't mean we have to be pushy or desperate. Just ask!

I am now with Noah's Ark Animal Workshop and have been working my business for the last two years as a summer job only because I worked full time as a teacher. Now I am a stay at home mom and work my business full time. At first I was timid about making phone calls because I thought maybe my daycare/school/ business contacts wouldn't want to book workshops during the regular school year and if the interest was going to be there due to the economy right now. I have worked very hard to establish good relationships with my customers and when I started making phone calls it was like talking to old friends for those that have booked workshops with me the last few summers. 95% of my existing customers have rebooked and many of them more than one workshop while I have also picked up new customers too. Some have declined because they are hesitant about the economy, but I haven't let that stop me! Usually the very next person I call will book a workshop or better yet call me to book!

It does happen with consistent effort, allowing yourself to step out of your comfort zone and focusing on building solid relationships rather than how much profit you are going to make off of the person initially.

Angela, you are so right! I am a Regional Vice President with Arbonne International and am so excited about what my products and opportunity can do for people! I love what it has done for me and my family.

We hear all the bad news, some of which is very real, but another part of the reality is that there are good things happening! In fact, I watched a video clip yesterday with Maureen Mulvaney, author of The Women's Millionaire Club and I loved what she said. She refuses to participate in the "recession" , the "depression" or whatever the news is calling it. That is the true entrepreneurial spirit and attitude.

Here is the link to that interview

http://www.abc15.com/mediacenter/local.a...

Hope it works! My company, Arbonne International is celebrating 29 years and we had the largest growth we have ever seen, in January. This is after averaging 100% growth for the last 5 years! We had more than 64,000 new people join us in January!

So, be confident ladies and be the best representation of your company you can be! Be the consultant/representative that you would want to most have on your team! We small home based business owners can make a difference if we choose to.

Amanda - posted on 02/25/2009

I have to agree with you. You have to open up and talk to complete strangers about your business. I sell Avon and am continually offering fast food employees and cashiers at Wal-Mart, etc my brochure. All they can do is say NO right? And even the Men...a few go, "No, that is ok...but then I tell them there IS a men's line and they should look...therefore leaving my brochure after all. :) A fellow rep that I am good friends with even goes far enough to approach women in the grocery store, or calls random phone numbers every once in a while. She gets more customers and reps to sign up under her!

Hi everyone!

I would like to share my business opportunity because we have an amazing special promotion this month...FREE February!  That's right...you can become an Independent Distributor without having to pay for the enrollment fee!  What's the catch?...nothing at all.  Simply log on to my website at www.nutritionaljuice.com and enroll for FREE (we don't even ask for a credit card).

Have you heard of MonaVie (www.monavie.com)?  This company is # 1 in it's category, the Functional Beverage Industry (which includes energy drinks like RedBull, athletic recovery drinks like Gatorade, nutritional drinks, etc).

MonaVie is an awesome company because:

- billions of dollars in revenue generated since it launced in 2005 (we are breaking records in the Direct Selling Industry)

- fastest growing privately owned company and debt free (no need to worry about MonaVie in the stock market)

- 50% of their revenue is paid back to their distributors WEEKLY

- # 1 compensation plan -- you get paid 8 ways!  (how many different ways do you get paid?)

- # 1 product and the # 1 acai

- excellent Management Team

- projected sales goal of $20 billion in 20 years

- strategically developing international markets and rapidly expanding around the world

- MonaVie has an awesome Science Advisory Board

- nearly a dozen doctors on MonaVie's Medical Advisory Board

- MonaVie has a Distributor's Advisory Board (because they care about their Distributors)

- they have the right cause, the M.O.R.E. project (www.themoreproject.org)

- MonaVie & Acai has been featured in local news on ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC as well as many shows including General Hospital, Rachel Ray, Oprah (with Dr. Oz and Dr. Perricone), the Today Show with Matt Lauer, MTV Cribs and most recently on The Doctors (which aired 1/7/09).

- MonaVie & Acai also appeared in articles published in Fortune magazine, Beverage World magazine, Direct Selling News, Good Life magazine, People magazine, People Style Watch magazine, Reuters magazine, Soap Opera Digest, Success from Home magazine (twice), The Boston Globe and Your Business magazine.

- Featured in several online publications such as aol.com, businesswire.com, functionaldrinksnews.com, forbes.com, dallasnews.com, morningstar.com, marketwatch.com and yahoo.com.

- MonaVie produced over 40 cash-flow Millionaires in 40 months...that's 1 millionaire per month since the company started in 2005.

Why should you enroll as a Distributor with MonaVie (especially if you're already passionate about your business)?  I believe it's important not to put all of your eggs in one basket...just like in the stock market, it's important to diversify.

MonaVie has an open door policy...you can still do your business while you're a MonaVie Independent Distributor.

When you enroll with MonaVie during the month of February, you...

- secure your spot in one of the fastest growing company in the U.S. for FREE

- become a business owner (the CEO of your MonaVie franchise) without having to pay for overhead, operating expenses and payroll for your employees...but you will have MonaVie employees to help you with your business

- own a MonaVie virtual office for FREE (renewal fee of only $20 after 1 year)

- receive FREE virtual training and support from your virtual office

- receive FREE leadership support and training (team website, conference calls, webinars)

- receive FREE cutting-edge information (www.blackdiamonduniversity.com)

- purchase your MonaVie at wholesale price

- get the nutrients and antioxidants you need when you consistantly drink this amazing product that really works...don't believe me, try it yourself or watch some of the media coverage on www.realhealthanswers.com -- MonaVie works!

If you decide that you simply just want to secure your spot in MonaVie or you just want to drink the juice for now...that's okay too...there is absolutely no pressure.  It's your business (or MonaVie distributor membership) and it's up to you how you would like to proceed.

I've been a stay-at-home Mom for almost 8 years and I didn't want to go back to the corporate world.  Now, I'm currently one of several top distributors for MonaVie and I show people how to get better health, more wealth, and time freedom.  I simply provide you with the training and support that will help you reach your measurable goals...whether it's to earn enough money to pay for your MonaVie or extra income to pay for your MonaVie and car/car insurance or income to pay for your MonaVie, car/car insurance and mortage (or rent).  You do not need to be a sales person to be a successful Independent Distributor for MonaVie...you just need to know what you want.  Do you want to seize the moment to take advantage of the "right place, right time" opportunity?  Then enroll today at www.nutritionaljuice.com ...it's FREE!

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Best wishes,

Ann Marie Zepponi

Awesome Angela! I tell my team the same thing. My business is dong great because I talk to people and ask EVERYONE if they are familiar with The Pampered Chef. I tell them to go practice in another town if they are afraid because chances are they won't see those people again unless they book a show, become a consultant or attend a show!

Get pumped 2009 is going to be an exciting year!

Yes, I'm thinking I should be more dilligent in attending my Gold Canyon meetings, It's just a pain in the butt to get a babysitter. But since there is one that seems to be more interesting than the others, I may have to start calling around for a babysitter. Thanks for the reminder:)

I echo that!  I am a Premier Designs Independent Distributor and I absolutely LOVE what I do!  I firmly believe that if you want to be SUCCESSFUL and receive what could be (work your own hours, AWESOME paychecks, be able to be at home with your family), then BELIEVE in your business and YOURSELF to think "outside of the box" and put yourself out there.  GO TO TRAININGS!!!!!!  Surround yourself with individuals who can teach you how to be successful in your business.  Don't miss an opportunity to be successful!  It take work, but you will always be better for it! 

Again, thank you for the message, LOVED IT!

What a great post Angela! I am a Tastefully Simple consultant and with the state of the economy EVERYONE is looking to make a little extra cash. We are doing a disservice to ourselves and our clients if you are not offering them the opportunity to both save money by doing parties or by signing up to be a consultant. The average american who claims bunkruptcy would have only needed an additional $300 per month to stay out of bankruptcy!! Just by doing a few parties per month they could avoided financial disaster!! So speak up ladies......you never know who's life you might change!!

Amanda - posted on 01/23/2009

What a great message!  My upline was just telling me this yesterday, it's good to hear it again!  30,000 people - that's exciting - being able to touch the lives of people everyday, and help them along their path.  That's awesome!

Melissa - posted on 01/22/2009

Wow, love all of the comments.  I will say that you have to get those No's to get the yes's.  It's just a numbers game.  The no's are not personnel, it's just there not ready for your product at that point in there lives.  I will say don't ever dismiss or put there names in the back of you business binders.   You never know what may happen and when they will need your product.

I was in Mary Kay for 4 yrs.  Became a Director is 3 months,.....love your product and your passion will sell it for you.   Always, Always give everyone you come in contact the oppertunity to view your product.  I am currently in direct sales with MonaVie.  A heath drink.  You obtain so may benifits with this drink.  (please visit Monavie.com)   This  company that has been around for only 4 yrs and produced several millionairs already.   It a prime time to be in this company, kinda like starting out at the beginning with Arbonne, Mary Kay, Pamper Chef.  You better belive that I am going to ask everyone to taste my product.  :)  Not just for my benifit but for theirs.......I LOVE this Product!!!!  

Even if your company has been around for a while you must a  have that Passion and it will do wonders for your business.   Believe, Believe, Believe....people will want what you have if you excude that passion. 

Hope this helped.  

If anyone is interested in Mona Vie for personnel use or as a business please contact me at melissa.bolado@yahoo.com or visit monavie.com

Wow. I don’t sign in everyday, but I am glad I did today. Echoing the comments already stated, that is a right on time message. Angela, thank you for cheering us on to take charge of our success. Too many times we blame others for our failures. We must encourage ourselves and think of all the reasons why we are in business and keep it in front of us to pull us along in those times of doubt. You all are absolutely right to say that one size does not fit all. If I wear a size 9 shoe, then the size 6 shoes just won’t fit. But when the shoe fits, you betta’ where it out!



Finding what you love; finding your passion is where you will succeed. I love the health and fitness industry and now I am with a company that supports my efforts and allows me to earn free customers, free business partners and pays me to get fit. I do love that and I will tell everybody I know. As Monique said, it might have meant not right now. Following up is key. Thanks ladies, I needed this push.

Angela, I agree - just like all the other wonderful responders!

In my MARY KAY business, it seems pre-judging whether folks will want to hear about it or not, is the only negative.

Every time I've asked a stranger, friend or family member to just sit down and try the #1 Skin Care in America (15 years running...), they have said "yes" or have eventually agreed. Haven't found anyone who hasn't LOVED the products yet... What a valuable tool our mouths can be.

Have fun and everyone will want to be doing what you're doing! If anyone out there is interested in selling MK, please contact me via my website!

Wow, that was powerful and SO TRUE. It can very difficult to break out of the mold and learn to promote yourself and your business. People should really stop saying the don't like sales because the truth is everyone must sell something at some point in their life. Don't you have to sell yourself and your abilities at a job interview? The key is to make sure YOU truly BELIEVE in what you are offering. If you are not happy with what you are offering you will NEVER feel comfortable promoting it to anyone.

Don't worry about people giving you a date set in stone for a party. If they said they want one, they really do, but they usually just want to make sure their day for the party is a day where they can really focus on the party instead of worrying about about playing hostess. In my experience, when they feel organized enough they will definitley have the party, but be patient and keep them in the back of ur mind and give them gentle reminders every chance u remember.

Not all of ur business will come from just having a party either. If u just happen to mention what u do to ur friends they will tell others, it's mainly word of mouth in which I find results.

Also, be urself! People can tell if u r just trying to "hunt them down" or if ur sincere in helping them w/ what they want in the way that u speak to them. It always helps to be honest and forthcoming in ur business relationships, because they usually turn out to be repeat customers and they can feel a vibe of goodwill.



Just be urself and treat ur customers as if they were ur friends.



Hope this helps:)

Absolutely TRUE! SOME WILL, SOME WON'T, SO WHAT? NEXT! Think about it this way, if you don't tell that person about it, someone else will, that is if you are with a company that is experiencing rapid growth like mine!

The company I'm with is positioned to be the next billion dollar company! We have technology that no other direct sales company has! We have combined online social networking with the health and wellness industry! We are launching something on Feb 7th, that will set our compensation plan apart from all the others!

Best wishes, though, with your company. I hope that it works out for you, for whatever your goals are for 2009!

I agree with what you said.  I think we are almost as afraid of success as we are of failure.  Get out there ladies...step out of your comfort zone and make something great happen.  Now is the time 2009'.  The economy is not great so people are looking for great opportunities to make extra stable income. I am an independent distributor for Exfuze and am really fired up for the new year and making great things happen.  Good luck to all!

I totally agree with you Becky! I started with The Traveling Vineyard to make myself move out of my comfort zone of just blending into the backgroung.  I want my children to feel the self-confidence I've never truly possessed at a young age so they won't go through all the difficulties i did as a "shy" child.  Although I'm not there yet, everyday I'm working on it and just take it one glass of wine at a time! (which by the way, is a great way to get over your shyness talking in front of people--drink for a living!)

Quoting Rachel:

The ratio is about 10 no's to every 1 yes. They are not saying NO to you but to what you are offering at that time. It doesn't mean NO NEVER but not right now.

. I finally started to bloom even more with my business when I finally learned to take myself out of the equasion. It's not about ME - it's about helping my customers, hosts, and recruits with what's best for THEM!

You truly succeed by helping others to succeed themselves. (I forget who's quote that is)

That is a fabulous point and I have heard that from so many Direct Selling coaches.  NO doesn't mean forever.  It just means now isn't a good time.  A few months or even a year down the road it may be a Yes. 

I love the part about taking "ME" out of the equation.  We are so quick to not want to get our feeling hurt that we forget it's not about us.

Thanks for the encouragement. That was really well said Angela. I don't know how to read all the other posts but I was able to see all the replies here. I've just recently joined so I don't know how all this works. It is interesting to learn all of the different types of home based businesses out there from the responses. I've never even heard of a lot of them! That means many others havent' heard of them either! So get out there and get heard!!



Attitude is everything. You are so right about looking them in the eye. Expect a YES!! You can project your outcome on your prospect. Also know that NO's are normal. EVERYONE get's no's. Every no you get you are closer to a YES. The ratio is about 10 no's to every 1 yes. They are not saying NO to you but to what you are offering at that time. It doesn't mean NO NEVER but not right now.



Think of it like you're offering them a peice of gum. If they said No when you offer a peice of gum - would you go home and cry? Of course not. So why should a NO be so scary in your business? They are the one that's loosing out - you've already got all the benefits - you're a consultant. Many people have different reasons for saying no too - it could just be a bad time. They still could be very flattered that you asked.



I have been doing Pampered Chef for 2 1/2 years. I finally started to bloom even more with my business when I finally learned to take myself out of the equasion. It's not about ME - it's about helping my customers, hosts, and recruits with what's best for THEM!



You truly succeed by helping others to succeed themselves. (I forget who's quote that is)
