Home selling : First things first

Starting a business - or any project - is never easy. It takes a lot of willpower and courage. Be careful not to make the mistake of comparing your achievements with other people’s ones.

Making comparisons with other people can make you underestimate yourselves. While using your own results as benchmark can give you the strength to always improve.

When starting a business, people have the tendency to compare their own results with the ones achieved by who entered the same market before them. Let’s take the example of a Soft Paris Happiness Advisor. During the first reunions he/she will gain between 250 and 500£ on average. Through the intranet he/she will have access to the data regarding the best Advisors of the month which can gain up to 13,000£ (referring to the period in which the article was written), or to the ones regardingabout the best reunions of the week which can fluctuate between 2,000 and  1,200£. Yes, you can make big money by working as in Soft Paris’ direct sales. But let’s compare the comparable: if you struggle during the beginning of your activity, try and keep improving yourselves because none achieve anything without effort!

Experience: the key to selling at home?

First of all, those sellers are very much experienced. Even if it is possible to earn 1000£ during the very first of your direct sales, most of the Advisors who register high revenues have had a lot of practice and have already taken part to all the formation classes. When you begin working in direct sales you start from scratch, so you can’t do anything but move forward. Perseveration is the key, try and keep improving yourselves and never give up! You were brave enough to embark on this adventure, not everyone can do that! Always bare in mind that being an Advisor also helps to boost your self-esteem. Perseverance and Improvement are the backbone of direct sales. So keep participating in formation classes, following the advice on your intranet and always look forward. If you want to embark on this adventure, join Soft Paris!
