Step 1
Recognize your team members' accomplishments. This should be the highlight of your direct sales newsletter. Say "hoo-ray!" to the top sellers. Send a shout-out to the top recruiters. Challenge your team members to reach the top spot next month so they can see their names in print, too.
-
Step 2
Train your team. Review your team statistics for the month. Is there an area that could use improvement? Write (or include) a brief article that focuses on that issue. For example, if party sales have been lower than normal, you may want to include hostess coaching tips for your readers.
-
Step 3
Encourage participation. Invite your team members to participate in the newsletter. If one of your members had a particularly impressive month, ask him or her to share the success story with the rest of the team.
-
Step 4
Highlight a product (or product line). Help maintain your team's enthusiasm for the product line by featuring a particular product in the team newsletter. Include the benefits of the product, include pictures (if possible) and provide sales tips.
-
Step 5
Remind and inform. Use your team newsletter as reminder. Tell your team about upcoming meetings, training events or company promotions. Don't forget to include your personal contact information and company contact information in every issue.
