Lightbulb Newto WAHM

I am new to WAHM and new to the direct selling business. I would appreciate any advice on how to jump start my business as an OnlyGreen EcoAdvisor. It is a new company and not many peolpe know about it. How do I get parties outside of my friends? Any ideas on recruiting? This is my first post so I hope it is okay

share your opportunity with everyone that you meet. If you have samples share, literature, share. If you are passionate about what you are offering people, it will come easily! When you have something wonderful in your hands, you want to share it with as many people as you can!
Good luck and congrats on your new venture!

Welcome to wahm. You may want to set up a table at some local events. I have seen more "green" type events advertised lately.

Good luck with your business.

Welcome! I think the best way to get the work out there is to talk talk talk. Maybe a local networking group, most allow you to go a few times as a visitor for the price of a lunch or small fee. You can then decide if that group is for you.
Good luck with your business,
Patti

Smile welcome!

There are so many things you can do...network online in forums,build relationships with people, share interests, you can have a open huse-launch party unless you already did that.

You can talk to everyone...ask what others do-for work, naturally they'll ask you what you do, then share.
There are usually meet up groups in most bigger cities..where you can meet other women involved in Home businesses.
Just a few ideas.

Welcome!

Are you offering incentives to the party guests to book a future party?

My favorite acronym to start converstation is F.O.R.M.

Family - Ask about theirs!
Occupation - Ask about it!
Recreation - Ask about it
Message - Give it, ONLY if it fits.

Be sincere in the conversation. I've learned how to hold a conversation with just about anyone using this outline.

Good luck and have a blast!

Jhanna
