Relationship Marketing Critical in Direct Sales

July 27, 2009 By: Yvonne A Jones Category: Business - Entrepreneur, Business - Home-Based Business, Direct Sales

Relationship marketing is more important than ever. Especially in view of the economy, people
want to know that the persons with whom they do business really care about them and not just the bottom line! It cannot be over-emphasized that people do business with people they know, like and trust. In order to develop the trust factor, it’s important to stay in touch with your clients on a regular basis.

Keep in mind that a large part of Relationship Marketing is dealing with emotions and how people feel. It means that every effort has to be made on your part to keep your customers happy because if they are happy with you and your service, you can be sure that they are more likely to encourage others to work with you.

Building relationships in any business is important, but in Direct Sales it's critical whether you are connecting with your customers face to face or over the internet.  People need to know that you care about them, and that you will provide them with the best service possible.  This involves recommending only what products they need, following-up with them to see if the products are meeting their needs, cheerfully exchanging what may not be working and make them feel special.

One way I stay in contact with my customers is by sending them greeting cards and postcards: Thinking of You, Thank You for Your Business, Thank You for Your Referral, Happy Anniversary, etc.

EBooks are Excellent Sources of Immediate Information

June 11, 2009 By: Yvonne A Jones Category: Business - Entrepreneur, Direct Sales

EBooks are excellent sources of information for building your personal library.  Once you complete the purchase, you have immediate access! No more waiting for the book to be delivered in the mail. 

Last December I purchased an eBook "20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online", printed it, read it, and implemented  one of the "Ways" mentioned.  I have been making an income on just that one step since January 2009. 

I recently pulled the beautiful binder with the printed pages and reviewed the eBook and it occurred to me that everyone who wants to grow their online business should have a copy of "20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online."  The Chapters consist of tried-and-true methods for small business that have worked for successful Marketers and can work for you.  It's an absolute must for beginners because it offers several ways, hence, multiple streams of income online. It's also an an excellent tool for someone who is working a regular job but wants to explore avenues of income in the online world.

In addition, when you purchase the e-book, you become an instant affiliate.  If you are new to or have been thinking about affiliate marketing, this is a great place to start.
