Feng Shui In Direct Sales Business
Posted by Deb BixlerDirect Sales Consultants, Feng Shui At Your Party
Feng Shui is an Eastern philosophy that has moved West. Basically, Feng Shui is the art and science of being in harmony with your environment. Everything is made up of energy, which affects a direct sales consultant’s ability to generate sales at their home party. You can use some basic Feng Shui skills to create more income in your direct sales business.

Understanding that the consultant does not always have control of all the factors at her/his home party, your awareness of certain things can be used to create energy more conducive to a successful party.

Tips For Shows
- Always have your back supported
- Never stand in front of a mirror
- Never present in front of a door or window
- Do not stand on a mountain top
The above tips seem simple and yet at a show we often find ourselves jammed in front of the bay window, a mirror over the fireplace or in a doorway. In every situation of your life: an interview, a restaurant, your direct sales show, a dinner party, when you can choose your spot and one spot is against a solid wall, then always grab it quickly before someone else does. This gives you more credibility, more authority, just better energy in general. Always have your back supported for better energy surrounding you.
Mirrors are distracting and also put forth negative energy. Whenever possible avoid a mirror behind you.
You should always be able to see who is entering, arriving or walking in. This is true in all cases. An open door or window does not promote good energy for effective presentations. Like a mirror, it is distracting to both the audience and the presenter. Command control of the room by seeing who is arriving.
Would you like to live on the tip-top of a mountain? In a war that may be a good place for a fort because you can see everywhere and yet it is a very vulnerable position. Wind or a hurricane or lightning may strike at any time. When you are presenting your home show, you do not want to feel or project vulnerability. Try to avoid standing higher than your audience. This may happen in a situation of an outside party with a deck, or a sunken living room.
These are very basic Feng Shui tips and yet they can really impact your show tremendously. When you walk into the next party, take a look around and evaluate the energy of the room. If your host has the card table in front of the bay window, ask if you can move it in front of the fireplace. Or maybe you could close the blinds. Sometimes there is no choice, but awareness is the first step and then making the best out of every situation comes after that.




Some shows with seasonal appeal may also be good for sales. Seasonality always brings a sense of urgency which is good for sales and bookings. The above-mentioned cookie show or even the wine and cheese theme may have a seasonal appeal in December that would help with bookings in a month when sales could be down. Pool parties in the summer, romance or couples parties in February, or even a men’s football party in the fall for early holiday shopping for spouses could increase party plan bookings in different seasons.
