Poll info!

A recent survey I took with wahm.com and dabblingdivas.com showed the following:

Survey One:

Do you only purchase a certain product from a rep you have purchased from before?

7 out of 15 voters responded saying that they are very loyal to their Representative of a company they purchase from.

5 out of 15 voters said that they usually stick with one Representative unless their service is bad (example: late with getting orders in or shipping problems).

Case in Point: People want to get to know a representative, maybe even become good friends with. They want to know their order is going to someone who deserves it and not someone who is just money hungry. So if your the type who just constantly take orders and don't get to know anyone, than business may be good for you now, but soon it will more than likely steer the other way. Get to know your customers and guest, they are what keep your business going, and you may even meet a new best friend.

Survey 2:

Have you ever checked out links that people may have at their siggy? have you ever purchased from them?

5 out of 12 said yes they click on signature lines all the time and have purchased from them 5 or more times

5 out of 12 also said yes they click on signature lines and have purchased 1-3 times

Case in Point: Signature lines do work! they are a great way for Free advertising. Use them to your advantage!

Survey 3:

Which way (online) have you received the most business whether its recruits or a sale?

3 out of 6 said that signature lines and message boards gave them the most business

3 out of 6 said that online vendor parties gives them the most business

Case in Point: Two of the best ways to bring in business are Free! (message board and siggy lines). Some online vendor parties are also free, but most might cost a buck or two.


So as pointed out in these surveys most people like sticking with their one representative the best way to meet people to become "their" Rep is advertising,online vendor parties, signature lines, chatting with everyone, and answering questions. Remember these are just online ways.
