Here are a few practical, easy-to-implement tips that you can share your direct sales business opportunity with your PTA partners.

Instead, be honest, accurate and low-key. Whenever possible, if you make a claim, have some paperwork or other proof that can back up your claims so that they know you aren’t just pulling facts, figures and statistics out of the air.
2. Look for common ground. While you’re attempting to network and find recruits for your professional success, don’t make the mistake of keeping it all business. The more you can connect with a potential recruit on the personal level, the more likely you’ll be to build a lasting, high-impact rapport that can transform a prospect into another direct sales consultant that will strengthen your business’ bottom line.
3. Start with an invitation. If you’re looking to add new recruits to your direct sales business, don’t start with selling the opportunity. Instead, invite them to an upcoming party so that they can feel and experience the excitement and momentum of an actual direct sales party. When you’re just starting out in any business, things can be intimidating. Let your prospects’ first experience with direct sales be one of fun and enthusiasm. Don’t overwhelm them. Get them excited and hungry for information and opportunity.
4. Make it easy to stay in touch. Make sure that you share business cards, social networking profile information, websites and any other information that makes it easy to reach you whenever and however works best for your potential prospect. Commit yourself to sharing your business and opportunity with 2 or 3 people at every event you attend and obtain email addresses or phone numbers so that you can easily follow up and motivate them to take action.
