To have a successful business you must have some kind of a system to record business transactions. I was always very insistent with my team members in helping them keep track of their business records.
After all, if you’re starting a new business, you want to know how much profit you’re making every month. And, the saying goes,
“if you don’t know how much money you’re making, you don’t have a business you have a hobby.”
As my team grew in leaps and bounds, I found it was imperative to help each business builder track the three important transactions of a direct sales business. These were
#1 Sales transactions which are parties, private one-on-one appointments, phone sales, internet sales, and other types of sales. When I first joined direct sales, I had three children in three different private colleges. I needed $2400.00 every month to keep our monthly budget afloat. That meant I had a sales total of $4,000 every month. And using the Direct Sales Planner method of recording party sales, one-on-one appointment sales, phone sales and other sales all in one place kept me on target to earn that very needed income every month.
#2 Booking transactions keep your business fluid and consistent. You have to have some kind of a system to keep your calendar full, and you develop this with my “calendar confidence” system which is laid out in one of the detailed articles in this planner. Using this system and simply tracking the details of each party on the tracking page, you’ll soon see what you really need to focus on to keep the bookings consistent every month.
#3 Recruiting appointment transactions. I call these appointments transactions because as a top recruiter I shared my business opportunity every week and I measured my recruiting success by the number of times I did this. In the DIRECT SALES PLANNER tracking page, you record each appointment. This measurement along with a yearly tracking number manifests your recruiting prowess.
I hear so many direct sales consultants say, “I’m not making money in my business.” Or, I also hear, “My husband wants me to quit because I’m not making any money in my business.” and that’s because they’re not tracking these three business transactions.
Running a business is very simple when you focus on the money coming in and the money going out. That’s the way to measure your profitability. That’s believing that you have a business that makes a difference for you and your family.
In the DIRECT SALES PLANNER alongside the “Monthly business tracking” page is the “Monthly Business Recap” page. This is simply totaling all your business transactions to figure your income. Then there’s a place to record your business expenses and deduct them from your income to see if you have a net or a loss.
You can actually SEE the results because it’s all in ONE PLACE!
