Stepping Outside the WAHM Zone
Often times on message boards you'll see several reps from the
same company, making it difficult for all reps to gain enough
sales. We've also seen issues where some reps dominate certain
boards or even go so far as to steal potential customers and
recruits. While there is no real easy answer to this problem,
there are certain things you can do to gain your fair share of
sales.
But wait, if there are at least 2 or 3 other reps from the same
company on all the top wahm message boards you visit, how are
you going to gain all the sales possible?
Very easily - visiting at least ONE message board that isn't
related to the wahm community. Believe it or not, there ARE
message boards our there that don't have anything to do with
business! We aren't saying you shouldn't be a member of a wahm
community, because this is important to your growth as a
business woman and DOES have major benefits to you. However,
advertising to others in business is not going to create the
most sales for you. What will create more sales is being an
active member of a community that's filled with your potential
customers without a competitor in sight.
Finding other communties outside the wahm community isn't as
difficult as you think. There are many, many other kinds of
groups, message boards, and websites that could be of interest
to you and your future customer. Take a minute to do some
non-business surfing on the web and see what you come up with.
