We’re wrapping up the series on why so many people say no by talking about how to get more yeses. In this episode, I explain: Why collecting nos isn’t helpful (even if it sounds like a good idea).How to get more yeses without posting more, copying and pasting messages, or sounding spammy.What a good offer actually is (and how most direct sellers are missing this step).Why your energy and your love for your business make all the difference.How to make clear, compelling offers that attrac...

If you stay in this business long enough, you're going to hear a lot of nos, even from your friends and family. In this episode, we’re talking about how to stop taking no personally because if you make every one of them mean something about you, it’s going to be really hard to keep going. You’ve probably been told “it’s not personal,” and that might feel true sometimes, but sometimes it still stings, especially when the person saying no is someone you know, or when you’ve put time and energy ...

This episode continues the series where I’m answering the question, “Why am I getting so many nos?” It’s a big answer, and we’re going to unpack it from several different angles—starting with the decision process that every buyer goes through. Once you understand this process, you’ll stop taking the nos personally, you’ll stay in the game longer, and you’ll get more yeses. We’ll talk about: The four-step decision process that everyone goes through before they say yes.How and why “no” is part ...

In this episode, we're getting into the nuts and bolts of how to get people's contact information at events so you can follow up, build relationships, and get sales down the line. Whether you're doing vendor events, online parties, or in-person workshops, your top priority should be collecting contact info. Because if you can’t follow up, you’re leaving sales and future business on the table. Most training just tells you to use a drawing slip or a contact form, but I’m breaking down the why, ...

In this episode, we’re talking about how to be more intentional with your direct sales business by creating a business bucket list. This isn’t about setting exit plans or walking away from your business. It’s about making the most of your business while you still have it, so whenever the time comes to move on, whether it’s next year or 20 years from now, you do it with a sense of completion, not regret. Doing this will allow you to be more intentional about your business, help you set bigger ...

This is busy season, and when you start looking, you’ll find lots of opportunities for your business as well as your personal life, and it’s easy to overcommit or tempting to say yes to things that won’t help you reach your goals. Every yes is a no to something else. Saying yes to one vendor event means that you’re saying no to another vendor or party that day. In this episode, I’m sharing the system I used to make decisions in my business, especially during the busy season. We’ll...

In this episode, I’m walking you through the core concepts behind The Message Method and why it’s the one thing every direct seller should be doing. If you’ve ever felt frustrated that no one responds to your posts or engages with your content, this episode is going to explain why and what to do about it. You’ll learn why great content isn’t enough, why most people don’t take the first step (even if they’re interested), and how to build a system that puts you in control of your business. In t...

In this episode of the Stop Doing That, Do This Instead series, we’re talking about something that all direct sellers need to hear at some point in their business, and that’s waiting for people to come to them.

If your content could be posted by anyone else in your company without changing a word, it’s not helping you—it’s helping them. In this episode, we’re diving into the problems with using generic content (even if it looks good), how it’s hurting your business, and what to do instead to build trust, connection, and long-term success. Generic content hurts your business because: It creates a connection with your products and your company, not with you.When you post it, it could actually be warmi...

We’re continuing our Stop Doing This—Do This Instead series, and in this episode, we’re tackling one of the most common (and cringiest) direct sales habits: cold messaging. You might know them as “hey girl” messages. No one wants to send cold messages, and I don’t think anyone is saying to her team, “Send this message to everyone you kn...

This is the first episode in a new series called Stop Doing This and Do This Instead, and we’re kicking it off with something that seems harmless but can quietly sabotage your business: blindly copying what other direct sellers are doing. Just because someone is getting results doesn’t mean their strategy is the right fit for your business ri...

Send me a message to let me know what you like and what you'd like to see more of. You can also send me a question for me to answer on a future episode. It’s harder than ever for direct sellers to build a successful business, especially for the direct seller who is building a part-time business, and most direct sellers aren’t seeing the sales or growth they used to. This decline in numbers is mainly because there’s a serious training gap in the industry. Direct sales is a simple busines...

In this episode, I walk you through a conversation I had with a seasoned leader whose team went from selling thousands a month to just a few hundred.
