We recently allowed people to ask any question they wanted about how to succeed in Direct Selling. Over 1900 people submitted a question to us. We held an “Ask Karen Phelps Teleseminar” a few months ago and the response was so great we held “Ask Karen Part 2″.

Here are a few of the questions that were answered on this call.

• I’ve been in Direct Selling for many years, and frankly I’m getting tired. I’ve even contemplated quitting. What can I do to stay motivated and avoid burnout?
• How do you keep yourself motivated when you don’t have a boss breathing down you back? I feel I was more productive at an 8 –5 job than I am with my Direct Selling business.
• How much money should you invest in your business in the beginning? How do you grow your business when you are already on a tight budget?
• I’m new to Direct Selling and thinking about attending our company’s convention but it seems like it will be really expensive. Do I really need to go?
• I have a full time job that pays me about $4,200 per month gross and I have benefits. How can I make the most from my direct selling business to make the money I need to finally LEAVE corporate American and still have time for my family
• Many of my reps have not yet experienced recruiting and are scared to death of it, thinking they are not ready to lead someone.
• What is the best way to encourage them to share the opportunity without doing all the work myself?
• What’s the best advice for creating a recruiting atmosphere for my group – at meeting and on coaching calls?
• I have a few people on my team that only place a small order when they are about to become inactive. I try to reach out to them but I never hear back from them. I feel like I am taking away time from my productive people. Should I just let these people go inactive or keep trying?
• How do you identify potential leaders and what should I do to keep them motivated to reach their goal?
• Plus many more questions…

Now you can Register to listen to this call for ONLY $5.

The first “Ask Karen Phelps” Teleseminar was such a success and there were so many questions not answered we decided to have another call to answer some more of your questions.

This Free Teleseminar has been held, please see the above post for replay information.

1.   Whenever I go to pick up the phone to make recruiting calls or booking calls and begin to talk in circles no matter what I try. What can I do to fix this, as I am so personable and WANT to master this problem! 
2.  What’s your secret to staying focused on your business when it’s so easy to get distracted with family responsibilites (I have 3 kids, ages: 8,5,3…I help out at school….all the little things that come up during a typical day) How do you keep everything in balance?
3. I get a lot of people interested in joining my company but nobody who actually joins. What can I do to change this?
4. In your experience, what are some of the most effective selling techniques to use at in-home parties?
5. How do I keep get my datebook full again after 6 month hiatus?
6. I can’t seem to get bookings at my shows anymore. How do you ensure bookings from every show?
7. Is 6 months a realistic time frame to make money in a Direct Selling Business? Over $500 a month?
8. How do you balance the cost of doing a party vs. the income from the party? We send out the invitations and pay the postage, take give-aways for the guests, offer extra incentives for the hostess, gasoline to get there, etc and then have 2 or 3 guest show up and the hostess has a $100 party. I have talked to ladies in other home based businesses and one said if the hostess can’t “guarantee” a certain number of guests will be there she tells her she needs to have a catalog party.

I just returned from a fabulous conference on marketing! Not only was I amazed at how much I learned, I found it ironic that many of the principles can be used for anyone who has their own Direct Selling business! There are so many simple strategies I’ll be sharing with others on my upcoming “Gold Member” website launching soon!

The $5,000 plus I spent to attend this conference with my husband has definitely provide my with tons of information to pass on to others!

Something to think about, what kind of strategies do you have in place to keep your name in front of your customers?
