Sometimes trying to achieve our dreams can seem like an enormous task, but I actually find that putting things down onto paper and working out the steps logically can make things seem much more attainable. There is an old saying that I think is just wonderful: “The only difference between dreams and goals is that goals have a timeline”. It makes anything seem possible then doesn’t it!
Goal example: Make £400 profit every Catalogue
Say for example that your goal was to make a profit of £400 per Catalogue. It might sound a lot, but I think it’s definitely doable (after all there are lots of other Oriflame Consultants making much more than this so there is no reason that you can’t as well!).
At a 35% commission rate that means that you will have to sell approximately £1,140 worth of Oriflame (probably slight more to take into account your costs). If the average customer spends £25, that means you are going to need around 45 or 46 customers (£1,140 / 25 = 45.6).
What do you need to do to find 45 customers?
You could try posting. Although with the strike rate of 1 customer for every 100 brochures that would mean you’d need 4,500 catalogues! YIKES — who has the time for that!
I suggest using one or more of the methods outlined in this guide. For example, you could get 6 or 7 customers from dropping at coffee shops, 20 or more customers from businesses, 10-20 from doing a sweepstake/raffle, and an extra 1 or 2 from flyers that you place around. That’s around 44 new customers (and much less work than posting over 4,000 catalogues!)
Now it’s your turn. What are your goals?
