Sales
These are the topics Marinko works on with people in direct sales.
Selling
Selling
What one person needs to sell well.
Sales skills
Selling is a skill you can learn. It starts with listening, clear questions and honest answers. It gets easier with practice.
A clear presentation
A good presentation follows a simple order. Who you are, what you offer, what it costs and what happens next. Short works better than long.
Follow-up
Most people do not decide in the first conversation. A short, friendly message at the agreed time keeps the door open.
Common mistakes
The usual ones are talking more than listening and giving up after the first no. Small habits fix both.
Team
Building a team
How a sales team grows and stays together.
Building a team
A team grows one person at a time. It helps to know who you are looking for and what you can offer them.
Training new members
The first weeks matter most. New people need a clear plan, a few simple tasks and someone who answers their questions.
Mentoring
A mentor shares what worked, listens, and helps the other person find their own way of working.
Leading
Leading
What a leader in direct sales does every week.
Leadership in direct sales
In direct sales nobody has to follow you. People follow a leader who keeps promises and does the work first.
Talking with the team
Short, regular and honest. Good news and bad news, both said early.
Independence and responsibility
Everyone is responsible for their own work. A good leader helps people set their own goals and keep them.
