You’ve probably heard me talk about systems before—how they help streamline your business and free up your time. And maybe you’ve even thought, What systems? What is she even talking about?
Well, friend, I’m here to tell you that you already have systems—you just don’t think of them that way.
- ✅ The steps you take to coach your hostesses? That’s a system.
- ✅ The way you onboard a new consultant? Also a system.
- ✅ Your customer follow-up routine? Yep, system.
- ✅ How you launch a new catalog? You guessed it—system!
The problem isn’t that you don’t have systems; it’s that they live in your head instead of in a repeatable, streamlined format. That means:
- 🚫 You're constantly reinventing the wheel.
- 🚫 You might be skipping steps without realizing it.
- 🚫 It takes longer than necessary to complete tasks.
- 🚫 It’s harder to teach your team to duplicate your success.
Sound familiar? Then let’s talk about why you need to get those systems out of your head and into a structure that works for you (not against you).
Why You Need Systems (Like, Yesterday)
When I first started building my direct sales business, I was winging it. And guess what? It worked—for a while. But then my business grew, my team grew, and suddenly, keeping everything in my head turned into a giant game of whack-a-mole! Hello! Anyone?
1. Consistency Leads to Better Results
Your business isn’t just about showing up—it’s about showing up consistently. A system ensures every customer, hostess, and team member gets the same top-notch experience.
2. Saves You Time (and Sanity!)
Ever feel like you’re spending way too much time on routine tasks? That’s because you probably are. With a structured system, you eliminate decision fatigue and guesswork. You can check off that list and boom! Magic!
3. Makes It Easier to Train and Duplicate
Your team can’t duplicate your success if they don’t know what steps to follow. A documented system means your new consultants can hit the ground running and your consistent consultants can rank up! Anyone looking to grow an entire organization? Cause you ain't doing that without intentional systems.
4. You’re Not Tied to Your Business 24/7
Without systems, everything depends on YOU. With systems in place, you can step away without your business falling apart.
Where to Start: 4 Essential Systems for Direct Sellers
Feeling overwhelmed? Don’t be! Start with these four key systems:
1. Hostess Coaching System
- Create a timeline of messages leading up to the party.
- Use a campaign (hello, Project Broadcast!) to automate messages.
2. Customer Follow-Up System
- Use an automated text or email campaign after an order.
- Be intentional about engaging in conversations inspired by your automated messages.
3. New Consultant Onboarding System
- Break it into bite-sized steps so they don’t get overwhelmed.
- Use a welcome campaign to guide them through their first 30 days.
- Provide a simple checklist for success.
4. Content Planning System
- Create a monthly content calendar (batching is your best friend!).
- Use ChatGPT to build your posts around a theme or a content arc
- Rotate between engagement, value, and promotional content to keep your audience interested.
How to Put This into Action
- Start Small: Pick one system to build out this week.
- Write It Down: Document the process—don’t keep it in your head!
- Automate Where Possible: Use Project Broadcast or other tools to save time.
- Test & Tweak: See what works and refine it as you go.
Imagine what your business (and your life) could look like six months from now if you weren’t constantly scrambling, forgetting steps, or feeling tied to your business 24/7.
That’s the power of systems.
