Thinking about buying the 2018 DIRECT SALES PLANNER? I have found it’s hard to make the right choice for a planner and I know I bought quite a few before hitting on the right one that helped me in my business. Even though it’s March, you might want to consider what you want a planner to do for you!
If you want a way to keep your bookings consistent every month, you have to PLAN! When you PLAN with the right planner you’ll begin to see results. The biggest problem for direct sellers is keeping their calendar FULL of bookings. My solution for that is about taking massive determined action every day, and the DIRECT SALES planner helps you stay on task with those booking activities that you “must” do to keep your calendar FULL!
Here are some of the best ways this planner will help you get a full calendar of bookings.
#1 Action Brings Change It’s all about those DAILY ACTIONS that keeps your calendar full and in the DIRECT SALES PLANNER, there is a page called “ MAKE IT HAPPEN” Action Plan where you write down steps like
- Call Mary who wants to book in April
- Send Hostess packet to Michelle.
- Make a list of people who bought at last 10 parties but didn’t book.
It’s writing down action steps that bring about filling your calendar.
#2 Confidence gets you bookings every time. In the planner we work with a 3-step CALENDAR CONFIDENCE system, where you learn how to book with confidence using green sticky notes to show a very visible calendar with your NEXT available dates. Then, you learn what I call the BOOKING LOVE LANGUAGE, in asking for the booking, you appear confident! And that’s how you keep your calendar full – when people see you are a confident direct seller who holds fantastic parties because they just had a memorable experience with you, that’s when they will not want to miss BOOKING with you! The CALENDAR CONFIDENCE system is a rite of passage for all my coaching clients to adopt because they know when they learn this system, their calendar is always full.
Recently, one of my coaching clients had let her calendar lapse. She was dealing with personal stuff and let it get away from her. She was the poster child for having a full calendar of bookings because she used the CALENDAR CONFIDENCE system every month. We had a coaching conversation about her getting her calendar FULL. I asked her a question,
“If you had to make 200 calls to get a booking would you do it?” That challenge was what she needed to step up and get all those green sticky notes FILLED in the next 8 weeks!
#3 Setting weekly goals. There is something about achieving weekly goals that moves your business forward faster than anything. I think it’s that step-by-step approach that makes the difference in feeling like you are definitely going to hit your target. The 4-step approach to using the Weekly planner page
- Step 1 – Set the weekly Goal
- Step 2 – Choose 3 priorities each day
- Step 3 – Write extra action steps
- Step 4 – Plan your weekly dinner menu (when mum’s know “what’s for dinner” it frees up so much time)
#4 Track and Recap your business every month I find this is the ONE THING many direct sellers miss in their business and there is a two-page spread devoted to tracking your business results. It’s these results that show you if you’re making money in your business. Are you paying attention to
- tracking your yearly sales?
- tracking your yearly recruiting?
- tracking your monthly party sales?
- tracking the number of guests you had at parties?
- tracking the number of bookings you got from parties?
- tracking your recruiting appointments?
- tracking your new recruit leads and new recruit?
- tracking your monthly income from party sales, re-orders or one-on-ones?
- tracking your monthly team leader commission?
- tracking any bonuses on team sales?
This is the difference with the DIRECT SALES PLANNER system from others. If you pay attention to tracking your business, you can share with others how successful your business is and know exactly what you need to do to make it more profitable.
“I do all my planning online.” Some people tell me, I do all my planning online. I certainly understand and recommend you keep what system you have going. However, at your parties when you have a physical open calendar at check-out, like I suggest in Step #2 above, you will find people will be impressed at your organization and confidence in having a full calendar of bookings. This great visual for your guests will help them IMMEDIATELY SEE that it’s important to take that booking date on your calendar, before it’s gone. Thus, your booking calendar is always full.
Lastly, Size matters. It’s important to create a calendar size, shape and layout that will please absolutely everyone. And this year because we went to a nice 9×7 size with a strong hard cover, it fits easily into your purse or briefcase and the feedback has been overwhelming with people loving this new size.
We only produced a 100 of these babies and we are on the way to selling out, so if you are still looking for that PLANNER system that helps you have a full calendar of bookings, then head over to www.mymentorbiz.com/directsalesplanner and get one before they are ALL gone.

Bookings are the lifeline to your business. Each booking produces high sales, two future bookings and three prospects to follow up about your business opportunity. That’s why you want to always have a FULL CALENDAR of bookings.
