I just signed up to be a consultant for noevir beauty product, I've trid the product myself too and it's pretty nice.
But even though I'm confident about the product myself I'm not a sociable person. I've been here in USA for about 3 years now. But still haven't made that much friends, the friends that I've known here are not interested on my products either.
I don't know what else to do, I'm a busy mom. But I've thought about going to salon and tell them about the product myself, but I'm just too shy, and don't know how to start the conversation. Any tips??
Please. I really need an income badly to support my newborn right now...

Thanks in advance...

If you are too shy to go to people, even door to door in business or to other people, you are in the wrong business. Period,

I'm hoping that there's some tips how to start conversation with people from that type of business. I know I can do it just. Just asking for more ways that I can develop my wordings.

Thanks for the reply though

There are sales courses, tapes, and more, but in the end it is just forcing yourself to do it, There is nothing but will power to make you walk in that door.

For example in my sales, I have to go into at least 20 new places I have never been before every day, plus follow up on people I have seen before, If I don't, I won't see enough people to make a living, plain and simple.

To me, it is the picture of my family being evicted by the sheriff, or sleeping in a shelter that helps motivate me. ** OK not really but get the idea.

Chuck is right, it is simply will power at first, you have to just take a deep breath and go do it. When you are new you are nervous, and scared, I understand.

I have been in sales for over 43 years and it is still scary at times. I have sold tangible and intangible items. Everything from insurance to million dollar man aboard picker systems for large warehouses costing over 15 - 20 million dollars. I am still in sales and service and also speak at conventions and to sales groups. I now own 3 companies that bring in revenues of over $6.5 million / year... got here because I wouldn't quit.

Mzorees20109, the best advice that I can give you at this point is; be yourself, speak clearly, learn everything about your product.. knowledge does build confidence, and keep plugging away every day. After a while, believe it or not, it quickly became fun.

Go out and talk to people, ask them questions, "do you have a problem with....." "would you like to have......." "Is the product that you are using working for you?" Etc...

Get them to talk to you... be friendly, smile, then you can be the problem solver for them by selling them your products. A lot of people buy because they like you. Tell them that you are new, most will even help you...

The more that you do this the more confident you will become hon. Confidence is strength and self assurance.

When I started in sales I too was like you, pretty much an introvert, I simply said to myself that this will work and I will force myself to get in front of at least 5 - 8 people a day to talk about my service. The more that I did it... the better I got, the more I sold.

Good luck to you,
