Stop Direct Sales Business Recruiting… #1
Posted by Deb BixlerStart Making Friends In Business!
The best direct sales business recruiting tip I can give you is to stop recruiting and start making friends! The first in a series of recruiting training events, this is part of the Direct Sales Recruiting University.
Direct Sales Recruiting Training
There is a total of 5 FREE training modules in the Direct Sales Recruiting University FREE version.
If you happened to of found this page randomly, you should read the introductory post and get on the list so that you receive the updates and links to the whole series of recruiting webinars.
A Happy DSRU Graduate: I really got a lot out of the direct sales university. The down to earth attraction marketing technique really works!! I was so also impressed with the meeting planning tools that you gave us. I have had more people showing up at our meetings since using some of the themes and training topics you talked about.

Direct Sales Business Recruiting Tips
- Stop recruiting… start sharing!
- Share the memory not the facts!
- Write your elevator speech that can be said in less than 1 minute and share it at all your shows! (But not in elevators!)






i am focusing my business as image consultant. currently I am working as fashion blogger with isabella spassion and I am happy to subscribe your newsletter for great training.
Stick with it Debbie – Those who want to succeed do regardless of the upline’s commitment! Let me know if I can do anything for you!
I started working with my Company back in Oct/2012. Absolutely ‘NO’ training was given. So I’ve been seeking out information on how to improve my sales. You’ve proved that ‘Nothing is for free’ is a false statement. Thank you so much for the Free mini Webinars. I love your idea of not using the word ‘Recruit’ and just ‘Having Fun, fun, fun’ and this will shine for others to see/observe and want to do the same. Your a wonderful person! Thank you for sharing your knowledge !!
This is just what I needed to hear.
Thanks for saying so, Barb! It works in all sales businesses!
Hey Deb, I just finally got a chance to sit down and watch the 1st video and wow, I am excited to start watching the others!! I am going to work on my story as well as really work on touching peoples’ emotions when I ask them what they are looking for to increase their income and reach their dreams. My co. is not a traditional “party plan” company, which is one of the reasons I joined, however, I still need to recruit both customers AND consultants for my company, so what you are teaching is what I need to put into practice, just without the bookings and home party piece!! Thanks again…YOU ROCK!
Thank you Deb. Ready to write my story to attract people to my oppportunity! Looking forward to video 2!
Thank you, so often we get wrapped up in life demands because we don’t punch a time clock… But when this is your income you have to give it a priority.. I notice that when u make it personal at a party, u have better results, because u can connect with those there on a personal level and your story touches them ., u ten create a lasting impression. Thank you for reminding me of that.
Really liked the 5 characteristics given, thanks so much!

I really enjoyed the video. My favorite part was to change the perspective from “me” to “their” needs. I believe that is extremely important in becoming successful.

Hey Deb, Deb here. Thanks for the free tips on recruiting! I love, love, love your references to a certain “program” I’ve been familiar with for 17 years. I have messed around in the direct sales industry for a long time and have ever become successful at it, but I will not be defeated – lol!! Wildtree is changing my life, truly. From the inside out. And I am thrilled to have found you and your videos because you are going to help me figure out direct sales and how to be successful at it. Thanks!!!
Thank you so much! Ths is great stuff!! I am soaking it up and writting it all down.
I want to personally thank you for investing your time to train others. Your spirit shows and makes so much sense when you talk about life being lived and having fun doing your business. Very concise and makes a world of difference to me in my business. Thank you.
Hi Deb – i have just discovered your site As part of researching information on how to inspire my team to maximize their opportunities to share the business. you have worded it beautifully and very concisely . It just makes so much sense!! Thanks
Thanks Deb you have motivated me to start working on my own story today. I wasn’t sure what to write but after hearing this I now know what I am going to share.
Thanks, Deb! Great information on not focusing on me but on others and on sharing memories not facts! Looking forward to learning more.
Deb,
This is information is so helpful. I am new to direct selling and just started my own business. I am so thankful for the tips and strategies to keep me from making both minor and major mistakes in the beginning. Thanks a million
Thanks for the great info! I appreciate being reminded of the basics that are so important, sometimes we get busy and lose sight of them. I also love that your presentation is made to feel like we are just sitting here chatting, like friends =)
Thank you, Deb. I need to write my story and get more bookings ASAP!
Thanks Deb for another great training. I always look forward to hearing what you say and applyinng to my business.
What a great call Deb! I love the Opportunity Attitude: (1)Have a solid Belief/Why (2)Business Builders have a full calendar (3)Focus on Others (4)FUN!!! (5)A desire to build a team! Thanks for sharing your tips with us!
Deb and Shelly ^^^ really that says it all. 15-20 parties on your schedule a month and you WILL NEVER have to resort to a Cold Lead Market….all leads(whether booking or sponsoring) will be WARM, HOT, or ON FIRE!! Thank you Deb for sharing!
Consistent Show Schedule: That is a Success that others are attracted to. Also it provides a training ground for Shadow Parties. Having A Shadow at a Party is an attractant also. Success Breds Success!
On a mission to share the opportunity! Thank you for sharing your story! It is going to be easier to paint a picture rather than feeling like a robot and just giving information. The whole video was very informative and I’m looking forward to more!
HI Deb , thanks so much for making this awesome content free to everyone. This will be so valuable for our company , leaders and representatives. The content is on the money , relevant and presented in such a down to earth manner that everyone can relate to
Can’t wait to see more , cheers Sharron
Thanks for sharing this information Deb. It\’s a great reminder of how not to preach our business opportunity to others but share the emotions of the wonderful businesses we all have.

Well, Cheryl – that is what the CashFlowShow program is all about! The whole show from beginning to end and how to plan it and do it and what to show and why!

Also, Cheryl – there are many free articles on the blog under the right sidebar link of Show Presentations.
I am glad that everyone is getting a lot out of this, Fear of rejection, SandyKay is normal – you are not alone in that and yet if you go for friendship that is not as scary!
Hi Deb,
Thank you for all the info you always give to us. Sometime in the future could please give us step-by-step instructions on how to schedule our shows, from the preparations to the close of the show.
Again, thanks.
Thank you for sharing your expertise! My greatest challenge is fear of rejection, especially from close friends and family. I\’m working on not letting my emotions get in the way and not taking things personally when it comes to my business. I\’ve still got a ways to go.

Great information. I liked your point about a solid show schedule which is what I need to do. Also the point of teaching the team and keeping everyone interested in the opportunity.
Hello. I’m very interested in learning more about your program. I’ve tried to subscribe to your services (Newsletter or free class version) I receive the following “Fatal Error”:

Thanks for the info. I have my story but now I have to work on the emotions & memories
Hi Everyone!
GREAT training! I’m so glad I found this site. I’m refocusing my business (luxurious, whole egg, all natural soaps & bath/beauty products) from a wholesale account focus, to a direct sales approach. We’ll be going live looking for individuals to share our opportunity with by Jun 1st. I have tons to learn before then!
You know Marg, that is a good point about it is perceived as being easy and we do cover in the full version of the University. Sometimes it is the recruiter that sort of inadvertently perpetuates the notion that it is easy. Actually, it is simple but not easy. Everything good involves effort. Sometimes we just need to plant the seeds so that they realize that it does require effort.
The number one reason people quit is that they do not have enough business. We put a solid week into the new consultant orientation topic so that university graduates have a system of training that teaches how to get the team off to a terrific start!
Anyway, the mini-webinar is short on time so we may cover a bit of this….
But it is probably too deep for the short version.
Thanks again for commenting!
