Badass Direct Sales Mastery

In this episode, Jennie and Jill discuss: The “why” that got Jill into direct sales and the decision to take it seriously as a business that spurred her success. Getting beyond the soft market of family and friends and finding a team who are interested in their own success and willing to do the work it takes. The blessings and surprises from focusing more on service than sales during COVID-19.   The importance of taking advantage of opportunities for training and growth for yourself and your team. Key Takeaways: Being grounded in your “why” helps keep you focused and drives your path to success. Someone out there wants and or needs what you are selling, don’t get stuck on the ones who don’t. Providing customer service that goes above and beyond brings rewards on not just a monetary level, but also on a deeper level of connection and purpose. Success requires consistency and constant striving to grow and improve. "The biggest thing that I have told myself through all this is that I've got to give myself grace. And I also have to trust my ability in what I do as a consultant and a human being and providing excellent customer service. And again, going back to my why, which is helping people within and beyond the walls of my home. And as long as I'm staying true to that objective, and staying true to me, I know that this is all going to come back and come back to me whether it's monetarily or not." —  Jill LudingtonAbout Jill Ludington: I am passionate about helping others feel confident and loved in their own skin. I help others just BE YOU through empowering with education and knowledge in theatre, open and affirming the LGBT+ community, and skincare. My mission is to make a difference in and beyond the walls of my home with love.CONNECT WITH JILL LUDINGTON: Facebook: Jill Ludington Facebook message Jill Jill's VIP Clients  Website: jillludington.myrandf.com  Instagram: Jill Ludington (@livingjillwithpurpose)   CONNECT WITH JENNIE: Twitter: Jennie Bellinger (@jenniebpl) Facebook: facebook.com/badassdirectsalesmastery Instagram: instagram.com/badassdirectsalesmastery Website: Badass Direct Sales Mastery: Home   Show: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/blog/    Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Figuring out how to switch from operating as an employee to operating as a business owner. How being a guest on a podcast started a chain reaction that changed everything. Accepting the inevitability of things going wrong, and learning and growing from it Key Takeaways: Follow your own dreams, not someone else’s! It’s your business, you are the one who needs to lay all the groundwork. Shit is gonna break, you just have to figure it out and keep going. Have a vision bigger than yourself. Fight as if you don’t care if you live or die. Step into your fear. "If something's good It's the fucking universe saying go that damn direction. Because it's not about overcoming the fear. It's about who the fuck you become going through it. Yeah, it's about evolving into the next level yourself. And that's probably the biggest lesson I've learned in running a business." —  Donnie BoivinGet your free training video by texting “I am a success champion“ to Donnie at 817-318-6030   About Donnie Boivin: About Donnie Boivin: An award-winning professional sales trainer, top-200 iTunes podcaster, Marine Corp veteran, and owner of his profitable Success Champions business, you better be ready for the badassery that is Donnie Boivin.  Donnie, fresh out of the Marine Corps, learned what it took to be successful in sales, business and life over two incredible decades of experience.

In this episode, Jennie and McKinley discuss: An essential companion for business Technology should be easy  Gamifying to create habits  Connecting to your team Key Takeaways: Technology has been business leaders’ constant companion, it’s a great tool for training and communications. Growing your business will mean that you embrace growing technologies.  New technology shouldn’t have to require a Ph.D. to operate, it has to be approachable and easily operable for it to be effective.  Gamifying difficult or repetitive tasks is a good way to create and sustain good habits.  Being connected to your team, being present in their milestones, and following up on each new success is essential on growing your team and your business as a whole "The tools had to do the work… they allow the individual to become the messenger and not have to be the message." —  McKinley Oswald   About McKinley Oswald: For the past 25 years, McKinley Oswald has been heavily involved in working with direct sales companies and industry leaders to help them achieve success.

In this episode, Jennie and Mark Victor discuss: The story behind their written book about asking Increasing your network of contacts The effective way of asking Supporting a cause through your business Key Takeaways: There is no harm in asking. Learning and practicing the art of asking can help you turn your dreams into reality. To keep your network of contacts growing, you must first figure out what you want and who you're going to talk to, then visualize the story of showing your intention as well as your expectation of a positive response from them. You have to ask yourself, ask others, and ask God. Asking yourself positive questions will yield positive results.  Support charities or social causes that are close to your heart. Giving back not only helps you grow your business, but it also touches the lives of others, inspiring them to do the same and make a difference.

All businesses have bad days. It’s important to keep going, keep your focus, and be positive, especially on those days. Know that those days give us perspective and build strength. When you feel like giving up, take some time for self-care. Drink some wine, take a bath, and relax. Talk about it tomorrow. We have to keep going if we want to help people more. If we go out of business, there’s a bunch of people that are not going to get the help that we’re going to provide. "We can grow as entrepreneurs, we win and we give to others too.
