How to do sales during Pandemic

More than 50% of Direct Sellers in India are women. They have to take care of their homes as well as devote time to Direct Selling activities. Due to the current Pandemic we all have been following stay at home orders from the Government to contain corona virus.

However staying at home gives us lot of flexibility to manage our families and also focus on sales activity. Devote 4 hours every to stay in touch or call up your customers. Take this as an opportunity to stay in touch with your customers on the Social Media, focus on improving online presence. Post videos of product demonstrations on the Social Media.

Online Meetings with clients are more focused and cuts time which is spent in travelling for a face to face meeting. Time is also freed up for more sales meetings and also for research and preparation.

I always feel Zoom Conferences & Webinars are a way forward to connect with the prospects during uncertain times. They are best substitutes for face to face meetings. Time saved on travelling to meet customers can be utilized for up skilling.

It is during these times you all should stay connected with your customers and reassure them in the midst of life altering crisis.

I have realized best way to reinvigorate my mind during these uncertain times is to read books and make notes which will give us an opportunity to increase our knowledge base.

The Industry in which you all are in is knowledge based and to become a leader one has to be a good reader.

Spend time watching motivational videos and reading biographies of great leaders.

It is also a time to read case studies & successful strategies adopted by successful people.

Relive your childhood and work on the mental aspect to improve your sales prospects. Eat balanced diet and make your work play.

Always be curious to learn new technologies which will aid in increasing sales. Also motivate yourself by making a list of places you will visit after Lockdown gets over and get excited to continue with your prospecting activity.

Prepare a list of people who are your prospects and update it. Keep in touch with these people wish them and tell your side of the story.

In the end spend time with your family be relaxed and give your best once you are doing your calls.

Biggest bonus of Lockdown is time saved in terms of travelling. Make technology

your best friend which will enable you to interact with your prospects.
