How to Increase Your Down line–Become a Recruiting Superstar
If you are serious about making a lot of money with Oriflame, then you are going to have to
start building a team of oriflame consultants below you whose sales will contribute to your
earnings. I know what you are thinking though – sounds good in theory, but where am I
going to find a bunch of ladies (or even sometimes men) who want to join Oriflame through
me, and even if they do, what on earth d o I need to do to keep them motivated to keep placing orders.
Yep
I know how you feel, so let’s start with some basics, and learn how to
build your Oriflame team with a few tricks that I’ve learned along the
way.
Finding People to Join Your Team
So the first obstacle that you need to face is actually finding recruits to join your team. Now
you could do this the hard way and ask everyone you know who wants to become an
Oriflame
consultant and sign them up that way (although that isn’t my preferred
method since I prefer to keep my personal life and business life
separate), or you can do things the easy way.
The easy way is to find people who are already looking to either be an Oriflame consultant
already (so you don’t need to convince them, all you need to do is sign them up) or others
looking for some part time work or wanting to start a small home business.
One of the easiest ways to find these people is to advertise. You can advertise in the local
paper, flyers on community billboards and even online. You will need to check with oriflame
that
your ad conforms to what they will allow, but generally most
advertising will be approved as long as it doesn’t make any outlandish
claims.
That way people looking for your opportunity can seek YOU out – a much better way of
building your downline than trying to convince total strangers to join Oriflame.
So what sort of ad works best? Usually something simple is better. Something like: ‘Oriflame
is looking for you to join their Team, Want to get all your favourites at consultant prices and
make money at the same time? Joining Fee is just £10 for your starting kit of brochures,
samples and more, Call me at ... or email ....’
Make sure you have set up your home page too and can accept sign ups that way –some
people
are not comfortable having a face to face meeting because they think
they’ll be pushed into something. By keeping it casual and making it
seem if it’s their idea then you’ll do much better.
Look Professional
If you do go in person to sign them up then make sure you look professional. Nobody wants
to join the team of someone who has baby spit on their top and doesn’t wear makeup.
Remember
you are representing a cosmetics company so wear the makeup and perfume
to the appointment interview. I also recommend that you take your
business cards with you (either ones you’ve printed yourself or had professional done). It just looks better than scribbling your details onto a scrap of paper.
Helping your Recruits to Place Orders
You should conduct mini training sessions with your team once you have signed them up.
The
first session should be teaching them how to find customers, how to
place their Oriflame order online, and to answer any questions that they
have. If possible I prefer to do this first meeting in person since
they
are
usually quite overwhelmed at first, but after that, doing email
training sessions is good enough. Send out some tips and advice to your
team every two weeks or so. Also reminding they when orders are due or
any special promotions that oriflame has is a good idea.
Keep going
You
should keep advertising and trying to find new oriflame consultants to
join your teamconstantly. Not everyone that you initially add to your
down line will be successful. And in fact the old rule of 80/20 seems to
apply to oriflame consultants as well. That means that only about 20%
of the people that you get to join your team will be successful at it.So
the more people you bring onboard, the more chances that you’ll find
those winners and increase your income.
