“When you’re trying to save time, especially during the
summer, it all starts with planning.”
Brooke Elder (15:02 - 15:10)
How to manage your business when the season proves crazy.
Are you ready for summer madness?
Whether you are a mom with kids ready to get out in the sun, or
a school teacher with nothing but a desire to drink a
(well-deserved) margarita, summer can be a really hard season for
productivity. The eight to nine-week period has the potential to
stall the growth of your network marketing business. Stay on track
by implementing these three systems and maintaining momentum all
year long!
“Being a couple of months ahead of the curve is ideal… a lot
of people try to wait until the last minute to take advantage of
holiday promotions.”
- Chelsea Lewis (16:08 - 16:41)
Here are some systems that will help keep you on track through
the summer.
- Customer Relationship Management for
Customer Follow-Up. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is a
business strategy to manage the relationship between you and your
customer. The goal is to track purchases, customers’ buying
preferences, and send automated emails when they run out of a
product. This could be as simple as keeping a record in your
address book next to their name or using an online outline like
Social Tenacity’s free one here! CRM is such an easy
way for you to retain existing clientele and increase profitability
for your business.
- Automated Team Training. This is not
as hard as you think! With the availability of Facebook Live, you
can host live trainings once a week through your Facebook group.
There is also a new feature for Facebook groups called “Units.” It
allows you to organize content into courses or posts by topic. Not
big into Facebook? Then consider email sequencing training.
Whatever you choose, make sure to manage your entire team in one
place. Find what works best for you!
- A Yearly Plan. We understand the
amount of work a network marketer has. A well-constructed plan for
the entire year will ease the load. Sit down and brainstorm a theme
for each month. Then put together three-months worth of content to
stay ahead of the curve. It’s best to batch and schedule posts to
keep you within one frame of mind. Not sure what to say or push?
Think about what would be most helpful for your customers? Focus on
their needs to plot valuable topics of discussion and relevant
products.
“Plan what you’re going to do. Everything is so much easier
when you have direction.” - Brooke Elder (17:16 - 17:21)
If you’re reading this and already pulling your hair out mid-July,
then it’s time to start planning at least for the coming
fall. Summer doesn’t have to be so worry filled. It’s possible to
enjoy the season and stay productive in your network
marketing business.
This week, aim to choose just one system you can implement or
teach your team for business clarity and mental sanity. It’ll make
your life easier and the coming months smoother. Then you can relax
in the sun with the confidence your business is right on track no
matter the season!
