Starting a business is troubling enough at times. But to start a home based sales business is frightening for most people. The reason being is because most do not like the idea of selling. I can understand where they are coming from.

What comes to mind when you hear the word sales is always the pushy, stank breath, used car salesman. I think this is a bit outdated now.

Contrary to popular belief there is always a sell taking place. We are always selling something.

Case in point, when you are on an interview you are selling yourself so you can get the job. When you go on a date you are selling yourself so you can get a second date. Whenever you impose your ideas on someone else and they take your viewpoint, your just completed a sales transaction.

So as you can see we are always selling. The fear that comes into play is rejection. We fear sales because we don’t want to get rejected. That is probably why a lot of people don’t even start a home based sales business.

Selling is a skill that needs to be learned. It can take time to be honest. But if you want to start a home based business but don’t want to physically sell someone on a product by verbal communication then I suggest you find a business that has a system in place that does all the selling for you.

Here is what I mean by that. Particularly in the direct sales network marketing industry they are big on systems. The reason being is because they help to leverage time, energy, and money. If you do a search right now for direct sales network marketing system you will see thousands of search results come up.

Now not all are created equal. I want to dive into why this is the best option for you if you want to start a home based business but again don’t want to physically sell.

You may be saying that up above you said there is always a sell going on. That is true. But with a system in place it does the selling for you.

It does the sifting, sorting, explaining, telling, and selling for you. In this business model all you have to do is focus on driving targeted traffic to your site.

If you have a great system, when you point people to your site, it will spit out leads on the other end. Conversions vary, but your end goal is to turn those leads into distributors.

Again this is specific to the direct sales network marketing industry, I can’t speak for any other type of home based business.

One of the main reasons why a system is so important is because you are educating them while selling them on your idea or business. So when you mix in value with a subtle sales pitch here and there it is non offensive. Again this is not done by you verbally but by your system, ie:autoresponders and website.

Hopefully by now you can see how having a home based sales business can work for you to where you do not have to face rejection.

When a person fails to pay the monthly mortgage installments, his home in question comes under foreclosure and such foreclosure homes are sold by banks, lenders or government agencies to collect the debt. Such foreclosure homes can be purchased by others and the buyer gets a chance to save anywhere from ten to fifty percent off the market value, which is incomparable to any other profit on real estate.

In fact, buying a foreclosure home has become a lucrative business and the reasons for choosing a foreclosure home are many. It may be that a person needs a home to satisfy his business aspirations or it can be just to realize the dream of acquiring a home at an affordable price. This makes the job of hunting for a home much easier.

In fact, foreclosure homes are of many categories like some of the foreclosure homes are under the control of the government, some under the department of veteran affairs while others under the US department of housing and urban development. There are some banks that own some foreclosure homes.

Foreclosure homes are a good profitable real estate business, provided, the buyer knows the tricks of the trade. As most of the foreclosure homes need considerable repairs, it would be profitable only if the buyer acquires them at a significantly below market rate. Sometimes the buyer will face the challenge of vacating the homeowner who might refuse to do so. This may cause unnecessary stress and a lot of expenses for the buyer. These situations are quite common when foreclosure homes are bought through auctions, although they are available under market value.

But there is a way out to avoid this headache and it is better to purchase a foreclosure home from the home owner directly. When the buyer is short of sufficient funds to purchase a foreclosure home, he or she has to obtain pre qualified financing that would offer extra bargaining leverage and ensure that the buyer is qualified to buy the foreclosure home.

For someone who is naive to buying a foreclosure home, there is private real estate investors who purchase real estate owned properties and are in a position to guide through the process. In addition they can help to locate a foreclosure home more quickly. The buyer has to ascertain whether there are any liens attached before buying a foreclosure home because creditor and tax liens can be a legal hassle that warrants a lot of time and money.

Purchasing a foreclosure home and a normal house makes a lot of monetary difference which is the main bait in this business.  Foreclosure homes can offer great profits only if it is invested, knowing all the intricacies involved and taking every step with great caution.

As a Home Party Consultant, I see and hear the stress and pressure to increase cash flow in your home party business. Many of you are questioning not only your skills, but also your decision to get involved with a party plan company. Other direct sales consultants who were really raking in the money are now feeling as though they lost the touch!

What separates the struggling, frustrated, heartbroken, cash-poor Home Party Plan Business Owner and direct sales consultants…from the confident, pink Cadillac driving, white Mercedes Benz owning, obviously clued-in home party plans marketers pulling in huge numbers and results EVEN in this chaotic, soul-sucking economy?

(No, wait ESPECIALLY in this chaotic, soul-sucking economy). While average home party business owners are cowering in bed with the covers pulled over their head the top home party sales representatives are still fearlessly bringing home the bacon, even as everyone else panics and freaks out.

People are still buying, the only question is – are they buying from you?

Here are 5 simple, yet powerful tips to help you and me to sell our way out of this ‘crisis’ and become a SIX-FIGURE home party success!

1) Selling is About Behavior

Success in our home party business is not about being a certain type of personality. When I talk to other home party and direct selling consultants, their biggest concern is they do not want to be the pushy car salespersons. I am often told I do not want to sell. Problem is this is the direct sales industry. There is a reason it is called home party sales and direct selling. Because of this fear of selling, there is a common catch phrase we have been taught “you are not selling, you are sharing!” Might then suggest that with that approach you are not building a successful home bases business, rather you are operating a Non-Profit Organization. Is it any wonder you are frustrated? The BIGGEST myth in the sales is that you have to be a certain type of personality to succeed in sales. Sales is about behavior, ANYONE High Performance.

2) Are You Pursuing Relevant Sales Activity

Many home party consultants are a lot like Alice In Wonderland when she meets the Red Queen. Let me share a little bit about their interactions your sales activity relevant? In Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass there is an incident involving the Red Queen, a representation of a Queen in chess, and Alice constantly running but remaining in the same spot. The scene is often referred to as The Red Queen’s Race.

The Queen kept crying “Faster!” but Alice felt she could not go faster, though she had no breath to say so. The most curious part of the thing was, that the trees and the other things round them never changed their places at all: however fast they went, they never seemed to pass anything. “I wonder if all the things move along with us?” thought poor puzzled Alice. And the Queen seemed to guess her thoughts, for she cried, “Faster! Don’t try to talk!”

Not that Alice had any idea of doing that. She felt as if she would never be able to talk again, she was getting so out of breath: and still the Queen cried, “Faster! Faster!” and dragged her along. “Are we nearly there?” Alice managed to pant out at last.

“Nearly there!” the Queen repeated. “Why, we passed it ten minutes ago! Faster!” And they ran on for a time in silence, with the wind whistling in Alice’s ears, and almost blowing her hair off her head, she fancied.

“Now! Now!” cried the Queen. “Faster! Faster!” And they went so fast that at last they seemed to skim through the air, hardly touching the ground with their feet, till suddenly, just as Alice was getting quite exhausted, they stopped, and she found herself sitting on the ground, breathless and giddy. The Queen propped her against a tree, and said kindly, “You may rest a little now.”

Alice looked round her in great surprise. “Why, I do believe we’ve been under this tree all the time! Everything’s just as it was!”

“Of course it is,” said the Queen: “what would you have it?”

“Well, in our country,” said Alice, still panting a little, “you’d generally get to somewhere else — if you ran very fast for a long time, as we’ve been doing.”

“A slow sort of country!” said the Queen. “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”

Does your daily activity produce desired results? If not, determine which activities (i.e. dials, presentations, networking, etc.) produce results. Develop a sales process that strings together the relevant sales activity.

Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing. Thomas A. Edison

In Direct Sales Dials, Contacts, Presentations, Appointments are all relevant sales activities that lead to Sales Conversions.

3) Focus on Action and The Results Will Take Care Of Itself

Pareto’s Law (also known as the ice-berg theory of change) dictates that 80% of your results will come from 20% of your efforts. Your results will naturally continue to be evaluated on the amount of business you bring in. However, without the underlying data on sales activity, results will be inconsistent. Start tracking them and determine accordingly how one influences the other. When I talk to direct sales consultants the question will come up what is your closing ratio? The common pattern that emerges is inconsistency. Inconsistent action leads to inconsistent results. That there is a direct correlation exists between activity and results is not unknown to you.

Home Party Plan Success Tip: An ounce of action, is worth a pound of theorizing – Emerson.
