Can't I Just Buy This at the Store?

Have you ever talked to someone about a product or offered a sample and had this question asked? It's not unusual,1322236-1504330-thumbnail.jpg I've had this question asked many times. One of the things I used to do was try to explain why it's not available in the store, why a network marketing company was a good way to go. Getting too detailed, too much information. I'm an information kind of gal. Love to research and learn all the facts.

But, most people aren't like that. A simple answer is always the best. Like it's cheaper ordering it online, it's more convenient or whatever may work best with the particular person you're talking too. You're always going to run into people who would rather go to the store even if your product is better. Don't try to convince them to do something they don't feel comfortable doing. 

Here where I live there used to be a Penny's catalog center. Customer service reps would take catalog orders from customers. Their staff slowly declined over the years until they finally closed a short time ago. The reason they closed was because so many people were now ordering online, so a lot of people do order online.. When catalogs first came out do you think everyone thought it was a great idea, of course not. Many people thought this catalog thing would never last.

When the internet came out many people thought that wouldn't last either. The point is not everyone thinks the same, not everyone orders online but many people do. If you have someone who doesn't "trust" the internet that's ok just keep up the relationships, keep in touch (but don't be a pest). Things change all the time and of course there's referrals. If it's possible order the product for them and have them reimburse you. Don't forget to get your shipping and handling too! It is a business.

Always remember you want to talk to the people who want what you have.
