I hear it many times…

"I don’t know enough people."

"I hate to keep asking the same people."

If you understand ONE thing in owning a direct sales business, you must understand the way to grow and thrive is to constantly be marketing and meeting new people.  You cannot keep hoping the same people will buy over and over again.  There is a life cycle to one customer. 

Today’s important planning question – 2012 Success Plan Question #29

How will you generate new circles of business in 2012?

Of course, I could say, "How many time a week will you leave your home and circulate at events to meet new people?"   That’s what generating new circles of business is about.  Getting out and meeting people you’ve never met before.

In today’s world we connect with people online and offline.  Online is all about developing relationships and delivering valuable information about your product and your business to show people you are a credible and professional entrepreneur.

Connecting offline is knowing how to approach people (maybe strangers) and develop a relationship. I call it PEOPLE POWER.  People are your business. 

Set your 2012 goals to connect with people and build at least 10-20 new customers every month. 

Take time today and strategize how you will grow your customer base in 2012 connecting and meeting these new customers every month.
