#10 - How to Be Different

How can you be different in your Avon or direct sales business?  I am trying to be one of the "different" ones by learning how to be a better sales person and not just an order taker.  It is a work in progress but reading these articles is helping me do just that.

Happy Selling!

Day # 10 - How To Be Different

by Bob Oros

Give me one good reason why I should buy from you!
I get sales people calling me all the time. You all look alike - sound alike - make the same promises, what makes you any different?

You have to separate yourself from the competition. You have to be different. You have to be better.

One of the best ways to separate yourself from the competition is to know everything there is to know about your products and services. If you know what you are talking about, the customer feels it and starts trusting what you say.

#2 - The Salty Dog Syndrome by Bob Oros

As I explained in my last post, Bob Oros is a speaker for the food service industry.  So when you read this Day #2 of his 30 day program, it will seem like it doesn't belong in a blog about selling beauty products.  But if you read the entire piece, I think you will see that what he has to say CAN pertain to us too.

Are you going to be one of the "sheep" who listens to everyone tell you that the economy is bad and that you can't possibly sell enough make-up to make an honest living?  Or are you going to go out there and prove to them that it can and DOES happen?

Happy Selling!
