>From surveys and experience, we've noticed many setting
excellent goals for their business. We've also noticed that
while the goals being set are good, the results aren't. Around
90% of those in Direct Sales do SET goals, but never reach them.
So the question comes to mind.....are you making the right plans
to reach your goals? It's GREAT to set a certain amount you want
to make, so you have a little motivation, but without the proper
planning reaching that goal is going to be more difficult.
Ask yourself the following questions:
What have you done in the past that created sales? How can you
improve on ideas for creating sales? What ideas for sales have
you seen but not tried?
Take a minute to write down every way you can think of to make
your sales (such as through parties, catalog shows, drawings,
etc), then make some more specific goals for doing each task.
Such as "contact 10 people and book at least 3 shows".
Once you have a plan in motion, be sure to stick with it! A
dream won't become reality if you are just simply wishing for
it.
If you have an idea of how to get to your goal, well that's half
the battle. The next part of course is taking action. You should
have your goals AND plans clearly written in a place you can
see. It's true everyone has their own way of setting and
reaching goals, which is fine, but everyone needs to have them
BOTH written down in some way.
If you don't have a goal or even a plan, now is a perfect time
to start!
