How to succeed in your Oriflame business


1. Make a Decision to Succeed: Without a doubt, the first step in the process is to make a decision that you will succeed. Don't say "I'll try it and see what happens." Instead, make a conscious decision to succeed and burn your bridges so there is no turning back. If you are wishy-washy about your business, you will never make it. Believe it is possible to succeed from the day you start your Oriflame business.

2. Commit to Five Years of Consistent Effort: At a minimum, make a commitment to build your business consistently for five years, without ever questioning your initial decision to do so. That means that you don't second guess yourself because you aren't making money at the end of your first month. If you aren't willing to invest five years of your time (2-years absolute minimum) then you shouldn't get started in the first place. Please realize that all businesses take time to build. And you must be willing to invest your time.

3. Show the catalogue & talk to 3 Prospects EVERY day: This business is a numbers game. You need to meet three new prospects every day. You can do this online or offline, through advertising, talking to people, prospecting, or a variety of other methods. If you meet three new prospects each day, you will always have someone to share your business opportunity and products with.

4. Be Your Own Best Customer: Oriflame has 100% natural Cosmetics and you should use them. Don't be a cheapskate and use competitor products because they are cheaper. If you owned a Mercedes dealership, you wouldn't drive a Ford because it is cheaper. You would drive a Mercedes. Apply this same concept to your Oriflame business. Always be your own best customer.
5. Focus on Building Depth: The real money in Oriflame is in building depth. In the beginning of your business, you will need to focus on personally sponsoring people. However, once you sponsor your first 5-10 people, you want to spend 95% or more of your time working in depth. You don't need to be a recruiting superstar. If you sponsor hundreds of people, most of them will drop out because you don't have the time to teach, train and motivate them.

6. Lead by Example: Always lead by example. Do what you say. Say what you do. Attend all company events. Focus on personal growth. Provide help, mentorship and insight to your team. Read books. Act like a leader at all times! Remember, people do what you do, not what you say.

7. Spend 90% of Your Time on These 3 Activities: You must learn time management. The most important activities in this business are prospecting, showing the plan, and training your new consultants. Make sure you spend a large majority of your time on these three activities. Don't spend all your time doing things that don't generate revenue for your business. Examples include organizing your office, sorting through papers, keeping the books, etc. Of course, you need to do these things. Just don't do them during your productive time.

I truly believe that if you follow these seven steps, you will be leaps and bounds above your competition. Succeeding in Oriflame is possible. But, it won't happen overnight. If you want to succeed, you should follow this MLM blueprint, you will be well on your way.
