			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These are just some ideas on how to sell more with your direct sales business. If you have more ideas I would love to hear them so please leave them in the comments.</p>
<p>1) Set up a stall at craft shows and fairs<br />
2) Hold more parties where people can buy your products<br />
3) Always carry a product sample with you and work it into conversations with everyone you talk to<br />
4) Fundraisers<br />
5) Always follow up with your past customers.<span id="more-203"></span> It is easier then finding new customers every time.<br />
6) Give your products as presents on birthdays, xmas etc. If they love it they will order more.<br />
7) If your products are suitable, pitch them to business owners to give to their employees and clients as Christmas or thank you presents.<br />
8) Network with others, especially on <a href="http://www.theworkfromhomeblog.com/2008/08/social-shopping-sites/">social shopping</a> and business sites.<br />
9) Hand out catalogs at any opportunity including while lining up, at bus stops, dropping kids off etc.<br />
10) Write some &#8220;how to&#8221; articles or videos and include your products. For example a makeover video with Avon products or a &#8220;how to decorate the bathroom&#8221; featuring your candles and soaps.</p>
