Direct Sales Marketing & Mentoring- Nancy Sutherland

Welcome back friend! I hope that you are enjoying my e-newsletter! If you haven't subscribed yet, it's just a click away. I'd love to hear from you!We don't sell, rent, share your information ever. Thanks for stopping by!

This video was on MSNBC yesterday and was one of many news stories recently shown as demonstrating the thriving of a “lipstick economy” right now. Many people prejudge themselves as not being the “sales type” or not glamorous to sell cosmetics. (or any variations of the excuses that my customers give me. )

I believe that what is required is-

• Courage to try something that you have never done before

• Willingness to learn something new
• Trust in the Company, Products, and Person who will be training you
• Belief that it is better to try and fail, than fail to try
• Understanding the risks involved. ( in my Company, practically risk free!)
• Knowing that insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. Stop the insanity
• A positive outlook
• The ability to persist and take direction
• Hope for a better future and the willingness to be a part of making it happen
• Emotionally, spiritually, and financially healthy
• A desire for personal growth and making a difference in others’ lives
  

Perhaps this is something that you have never considered for yourself. Did you know that 80-90% of the existing consultants in my unit once felt that way too? I recommend that you go to this previous post and take a look at my business. Then if you have any interest in discussing it with me, fill out the Contact me form about and I will give you a no obligation 15 minute strategy session! I’d love to meet you!

Here is something from David McNally from his book “Even Eagles Need a Push”. I find it extremely relevant and hope that you feel the same way!

“The eagle gently coaxed her offspring toward the edge of the nest. Her heart quivered with conflicting emotions as she felt their resistance to her persistent nudging. ‘Why does the thrill of soaring have to begin with the fear of failing?’ she thought. This ageless question was still unanswered for her.

As in the tradition of the species, her nest was located high on the shelf of a sheer rock face. Below there was nothing but air to support the wings of each child. ‘Is it possible that this time it will not work?’ she though. Despite her fears, the eagle knew it was time. Her parental mission was all but complete. There remained one final task-the push.

The eagle drew courage from an innate wisdom. Until her children discovered their wings, there was no purpose for their lives. Until they learned how to soar, they would fail to understand the privilege it was to have been born an eagle. The push was the greatest gift she had to offer. It was her supreme act of love. And so one by one she pushed them, and they flew!”

May you experience the same joy!
