The end of the year is a good time to look back and plan. If you run a direct selling business, a simple review can help you decide what to keep, change or stop. Use this process.
Step 1: Review the year
Look at your records. How many hours did you work? How many conversations, customers and team members did you have? What did you spend? Honest numbers are better than guesses.
Step 2: Find what worked
Which activities led to real customers or team progress? Write down your top three.
Step 3: Find what did not
Which activities took time but gave little? Decide to reduce or drop them.
Step 4: Set activity goals
Choose weekly goals you control, such as conversations, follow-ups and learning. Avoid setting goals that depend on other people's decisions.
Step 5: Set a budget
Decide how much money you can spend on the business without stress.
Step 6: Pick one skill
Choose one skill to improve this quarter, such as listening, follow-up or content creation.
Step 7: Schedule reviews
Put a monthly review in your calendar.
A note on realism
Results vary, and not every year goes as planned. A good plan helps you learn and adjust.
