In this episode, I’m walking you through the core concepts behind The Message Method and why it’s the one thing every direct seller should be doing.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated that no one responds to your posts or engages with your content, this episode is going to explain why and what to do about it.

You’ll learn why great content isn’t enough, why most people don’t take the first step (even if they’re interested), and how to build a system that puts you in control of your business.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why relying on social media won’t help your business grow.
• How to start conversations naturally and move them forward without being pushy.
• What types of reachouts build trust and position you as a resource, not a salesperson.
• How to warm up relationships, introduce your business the right way, and follow up with purpose.
• Why this system works even if people don’t respond right away.
• How to build a habit of consistent engagement even if you only have a few minutes a day.

If you're tired of waiting for people to come to you, this episode gives you the plan to go to them in a way that feels natural and effective.

In this episode of the Stop Doing That, Do This Instead series, we’re talking about something that all direct sellers need to hear at some point in their business, and that’s waiting for people to come to them.

Posting consistently, sharing specials, and talking about your business are great, but they’re not enough to get you the results you want.

People aren’t going to reach out to you. They’ll rarely even engage with your business content.

It’s not personal, and it’s not just related to social media. People rarely take the initiative.

If you want to get results, you have to go to them. Waiting for people to come to you is expecting them to do something you’re not willing to do.

Direct sellers ask me all the time how to find new customers, and the simple answer is you have to look for them. You have to be the one to reach out, initiate a connection, start a conversation, and follow up with them.

In this episode, I walk you through how to do this without feeling like you’re making cold calls or being spammy.

I know this feels hard and scary, but I ease you into it with my Message Method by showing you how to start with easy, low-risk conversations. Reaching out is a skill, and you’ll get better with practice. Plus, because it’s a skill, you’ll be able to build upon it and transfer it to all of your business conversations.

If your content could be posted by anyone else in your company without changing a word, it’s not helping you—it’s helping them.

In this episode, we’re diving into the problems with using generic content (even if it looks good), how it’s hurting your business, and what to do instead to build trust, connection, and long-term success.

Generic content hurts your business because:

• It creates a connection with your products and your company, not with you.
• When you post it, it could actually be warming people up for another direct seller who is in the right place at the right time.
• Using content that other people create prevents you from learning the skills you need to create your own. If you can’t write a message, how are you going to lead a team?
• Some of the content you’re copying and pasting might not even be effective. Just because other people are posting it doesn’t mean it works.

If you want people to buy from you, your content should be personal to you, which means you have to create it, and in this episode, I walk you through some simple steps you can start taking right now to create content that markets you and your products.

I also explain how you can use the content your company creates as a starting point, so that you never feel like you’re starting from scratch.
