There are so many Planner options out there today. First, you have to decide whether you plan digitally or you’re a paper planner gal like me! Every planner comes with different features so I want to share with you today why I love the DIRECT SALES PLANNER so much. This planner has been designed specifically around the fabulous business model for direct sellers!
What does that mean? It means the features include all the basics of how you plan around the book-sell-recruit business model every day! Here’s what this includes
A whole goal setting section specifically for your direct sales business! How do you get all your ideas out of your head before setting a goal? We start with a BRAIN DUMP page. This is the best way to get clear with the goals you want! Once you get clarity and write down your BIG YEARLY goal then break it down into quarterly & monthly goals, you are excited to focus and take action.
A monthly Goal PLANNING page
We begin every month determining what sales goals, booking goals and recruit goals we want! (Yes, it’s that simple!) Then we write out our commitment. Once you determine your month’s targets, you revue a LIST of EVENTS that show you exactly how you’ll accomplish hitting them. No other planners have captured the menu of events LIST for direct sellers! Our business is made up of parties – online and offline, fundraisers, trade shows just to mention a few on the menu. When you determine how many events you know exactly how you’ll hit those monthly goals. And now you’re ready to write down your intentions for the month!
Now you’re ready to MAKE IT HAPPEN with the taking Action Page. This is the SECRET WEAPON of the whole planner! There are FOUR areas that will build you are very strong business. When you focus and take action on these FOUR AREAS of your business, you get amazing results. All you have to do is write down your TO-DO list for each of these four areas for the month! These four activity areas are
- Recruiting Activities – This to-do list will help you find your next recruits.
- Booking Activities – This to-do list will help you have a full calendar
- New Business Activities – This to-do list will expand your business
- Follow-up Activities – This to-do list will grow loyal customers, hostesses and new recruits.
Next two-page Calendar Spread is where the Magic Happens. If you keep struggling to get bookings – you’ll know this is the right planner for you. There is a system inside this planner called the CALENDAR CONFIDENCE SYSTEM. It’s all laid out for you how to implement it, how to work and how to get bookings. There are step-by-step instructions with scripts and more. My clients who use this system always have their calendar FULL to the brim and create a WAITING LIST for those who want to get on their calendar.
Weekly Planning Pages. If you ever wanted a “Paint by Numbers” step-by-step weekly planning, each of the weekly planning pages in this planner are the answer to your procrastination and overwhelm. It’s following four simple steps, however, you must do this EVERY week, and that’s part of my SUNDAY Planning ritual. I have taught my coaching clients the ADVANTAGES of planning their week every Sunday.
- People who don’t plan weekly let things just happen to them.
- People who PLAN EVERY WEEK are expecting more from their business, they take ownership with their time and their focus and see great progress in their work.
Two Special pages to Track and Recap your business. When you sit down at the end of the month and track your business activities you’ll be amazed. For Example: Tracking your parties, the # of guests, the # of bookings, the Total sales, the recruiting appointments and TOTAL them up each month you get a very clear VISUAL of how you’re business is working
Then, when you write in your Sales and Commission Income – minus your expenses and see if you actually made a PROFIT every month, your tax-accountant will be extremely impressed – ot to mention your bank account. No other planner has these two featured pages customized for Direct Sellers!
Work Smart Worksheets! If you LOVE working in a paper planner, you’ll love the work smart worksheets offered at the back of the planner. Worksheets like
- After Party Summary sheet
- Facebook Party Worksheet checklist
- Hostess Coaching Checklist
- New Customer List
- Prime Prospect List (for recruiting)
- Monthly expense worksheet
- Savings Plan worksheet
Keeping it pretty and all together. Paper planners are for those of us who love to write things down! We are creatives! I love to use Washi Tape and colored stickers, and draw asterisks, flowers and gold lettering.
So these are all the features that I love in the DIRECT SALES PLANNER!
It’s so easy to be busy doing the wrong things every week, when you commit to planning with the right planner you’ll find that every time you STEP UP TO THE NEXT level in your business it just becomes easier because you have a whole planning system to work with.
I am passionate about helping direct sellers PLAN and accomplish goals in their Direct Sales Business. My passion changed my life when I stepped into PLANNING my own business and going to the top of my company. I became more purposeful and productive and enriched in helping others plan with a solid system.
We are beginning a whole new season – in fact this is the season where we do 80% more business than the rest of the year! What better way to start than with a solid new DIRECT SALES planner designed specifically for YOU!
