Make Your Spring Break or Summer Travel Pay Off By Spreading the Word!
What’s the best way to spread the word about your business? First, you have to be passionate about what you do and about sharing it with others. Be sure you’re clear about why you love your job before you pack for your next trip. The more passionate you are, the more you’ll actually want to share!
Here are some tips for starting that conversation:
- Find a conversation starter that leads to your product.
- Carry a purse that lets you display on the outside pictures of your products.
- Wear Your Products if that’s appropriate.
- Have catalogs and brochures handy to leave in hotel rooms, along with tips, etc.
- Find out what service people love most about their jobs (ask that question, “so, Sue, what do you love most about being a waitress?”) Chances are, they’ll begin to tell you what they love least about it instead, which can lead to a recruiting conversation.
Create a survey with some questions about how they feel about their current job situation. Tell them you’re collecting information for a work project and ask if they’d take 60 seconds and do a survey with them. Then share with them how much easier/more lucrative your job is before leaving them with some information.
Some sample questions:
- How many hours per week do you work?
- On a scale of 1-10, 1 being not satisfied and 10 being totally satisfied, how happy are you with your current income level from your job?
- Have you ever considered working from home?
Be sure you have plenty of business cards and brochures with your website address so that they can visit it to learn more. Also, be sure you get their information so you can follow up with them once you return from your vacation.
