When you find an amazing product that works for you naturally you want to share it with the people you care about. But when you’re so passionate about a product and believe it can change lives you want to share it with anyone who will listen. So what’s the best way to go about this? Keep reading as we explore ways to share your product.
Sharing is part of direct selling
Direct selling is based upon sharing products with the people around you and then directly selling these products. Without the “share” factor how would you introduce products to others? Just like paying forward a good deed, sharing a really great product is paying forward good onto others. It can be quite common for people newer to direct selling to feel hesitant when it comes to sharing products, but with the belief in your product, practice and knowing professional boundaries to follow the hesitation will fade away.
When it’s ok to share
Sharing a product ethically comes down to a few different factors, knowing these factors are addressed is a great way to reduce hesitation around sharing and selling your product. The first thing to consider is, only sell and recommend products that you actually believe in and use yourself, for more information on how to navigate this, have a read of our previous blog ‘don’t love it, don’t sell it’.
The next consideration is conducting yourself professionally, this means gaining the potential customer’s consent before discussing products with them, contacting within business hours only and respecting boundaries. This also means being 100% transparent about yourself, your intentions, the company and the products you represent and being compliant with sales agreements and contracts. At Bing Han we are a member of Direct Selling Australia, they have a code of practice that clearly outlines professional and ethical business practices. As a member we are bound by this code of practice and therefore ensure our company and members are following the guidelines within their business practices. For more information on these guidelines we have a previous blog that outlines them.
Ways you can share
Now that we’ve established the appropriation of sharing and selling a product, it’s time for the fun part, getting to share it! But what are the best ways to share a product for the most effective generation of sales? The modern options are through networking online and in person and the use of social media. While these options are accessible and effective, they shouldn’t discount the good old ways of connecting with people in your family, colleagues and social circles, meeting people in your day to day activities or throwing a product party. For the pros and cons on different ways to share products in direct selling have a read of our blog comparing online and in person direct selling.
Sharing is caring
The saying “done is better than perfect”, is a great one to keep in mind when it comes to embarking on sharing and selling products. There will never be a perfect time to begin or you may never feel 100% ready to get out of your comfort zone with sharing products. The sooner you take a leap of faith and get it “done” the greater your chances of success are compared to not trying at all.
