Direct Sales Women's Alliance

Balancing Sales with Sponsoring

By Jane Deuber of the DSWA

Do you know how to row a boat? That's right... row a boat. If you answered yes to this question, then congratulations, you also know one of the greatest secrets to creating lasting success in Direct Sales.

Growing your business the "smart" way is very much like rowing a boat. Let me explain.

First, when rowing a boat, it is vital that you have both oars in the water and you are rowing them simultaneously. What happens if you have only one oar in the water? No matter how fast you row, you will simply spin around in circles. Herein lies the connection between rowing a boat and building your business. You simply must have the oars of both sales and sponsoring at work in your business before you can truly make any progress toward your destination or goal.

Secondly, when rowing, the speed of the boat is determined by the personal strength of the person doing the rowing. Just like the athlete who wants to move swiftly through the water, you must also develop the 'mental muscle' by continuing to fine-tune your skills and putting what you learn into practice every day.

Lastly, isn't it true that any boat ride, whether you are racing toward the finish line or meandering through a lovely lake is much more fun when you have others along for the ride? When you share your business opportunity with someone special, you extend an invitation to join you on a journey. As the time tested saying goes, "The more the merrier!"

Take a look at your business to see if you have been "rowing with both oars in the water." If you are not making the progress you want, chances are you are not balancing your daily activity with both sales and sponsoring. So make the commitment, cast off the line, and row toward your goal with strong, consistent strokes. Before you know it, you will arrive at your destination!

Jane Deuber is a Co-Founder of the DSWA and a highly rated industry trainer who is known for her innovative, down to earth training style that inspires distributors into action.
