Introducing Sue
Sue and I concluded our monthly coaching call a couple of weeks ago. Sue had a list of actions to take and she was confident about what she needed to do and why. One of the things on the list was the creation of a flyer for Sue to use to describe what she does. This of course, will be written to her Perfect Customer.

I’ve spent the last week talking to some wonderful women. They are the ones who booked a free 30-minute coaching session with me. We’ve talked about lots, but specifically about laser-focus.
The purpose of the 30 minutes was for us to talk about their businesses and for me to offer some help and guidance on where to go to find customers. For some, it was about finding their very first customer, for others it was about finding more customers, spending more, more often.

How Do I Build A Downline?
I work with quite a few women who have direct sales companies. These women work with an assortment of direct sales companies; Forever Living, Herbalife, Cambridge Weight Plan and Arbonne to name a few.
