15 Ways to Rock a Sale with your Business
Want to rock the next sale with your company!
Every company has a huge sale coming. Typically, you’ll have a big event quarterly.
Would you love to be prepared for the next one?
I have 15 SOLID ideas to DOUBLE or TRIPLE your sales for your next big sales event with your company.
This training is not only tested and approved, but quadrupled my own sales event when I implemented these ideas ahead of time.
Never be caught off guard again with this systematic approach!
Here’s the first one in the training. Just ONE of 15+ ideas!
You need to get people SELLING FOR YOU.
So here’s what we’re going to start pushing RIGHT NOW to get cell phone numbers and get LINKS set up for them to sell for you. They’ll be partying and they won’t even KNOW IT!
You would use a post similar to this:
There’s an OUTLET SALE coming!
ššI can set YOU a personal shopping link the minute the sale goes LIVE. It’ll be text right to your phone so you’re the first to shop!
ššYou can also use that personal shopping link to share with your friends. If you and your friends happen to hit $200+ in orders…I’m gonna give you a $25 CREDIT!
āļøāļøIf you’d like to give it a try, post “ME!” below and I’ll get your link the minute the sale is announced!
There’s lots of ways to gather those contacts
- Jotform
- Google Forms
- Excel document
- Good old pen and paper

Use these wacky holidays to celebrate one wacky holiday a week. I choose one because it’s FUN. Using too many wacky holidays can be annoying. But one a week is perfect to engage and inform your audience. For example, you can see my graphic below. You’re:
- Asking them a QUESTION to encourage engagement. Which boosts your posts in their feed in the future…if they answer.
- You’re informing them. Keeping them on top of the fun stuff!
- You’re also getting to KNOW THEM by asking a question. You get to know what they like, how they react, and get clues into the minds of your customers (which people pay big money for…by the way).
- AND…you’re creating community. When your customers start chatting and creating conversations on their own…because of these awesome engaging graphics you’re making…your business will smile back at you.

Here are some reviews of this training:
I took the training! If I had to describe it in one sentence it would be this: This training is your branding easy button! The part I liked best is that you distilled a lot of information down into exactly what I needed. In addition to giving us information on what we should do in terms of developing our own unique.logo and colors, the resource information we got was key for me. I honestly didn’t know what to do, how or why it’s important. For me what always sets you apart from other direct sales training that I’ve seen so far is that you’re in the game so I know what I’m hearing and learning about is what we used to call in my former life “a boots-on-the-ground” viewpoint of what works and what doesn’t. It saves me a ton of time and effort.

Your training honestly blew me away!! I have taken other branding training but I learned so much more from this training! You explained everything in a very simple way that everyone could understand. When you talked about the difference between a logoĀ and a brand my jaw honestly dropped! āA logo is a thingā āA brand is a feeling and message behind the logoā this really stuck with me. And made me think of my business in a completely different way. Thank you for this training!! Now that I know what direction to go in and I am super excited to start rebranding my business and working on my logo!! Thank you again MelissaĀ šĀ

I’ve been struggling with branding since I began my business a few months ago. Melissa’s training made me realize I was trying to brand my product, not myself. This training breaks it down and teaches how to find your brand, how to roll with it, and how to incorporate it into not only my business, but my life. Loved this training and all the others she has done! Thank youĀ Melissa Fietsam!

I loved the branding training. I have taken other branding training before, but learned so much from Melissaās that I didnāt already know. She has a great way of presenting information in a way that makes sense. This means you can go take action and achieve results based on what you learned. Iāve already taken steps to rebrand my logo and colors for my business based on the information in the branding training.Ā

Gobble on my friends…
Google + is Shutting the Doors
Google + is shutting the doors.
Some of us have been using Google + as a sharing platform. But Google announced it will be closing the door for good by next August. Allegations of allowing third party apps to gather information on it’s users AND their friends…have stirred some pretty interesting stats.
Over 500,000 accounts were affected. But remember, those 438 apps had access to those 500K AND their friends info. Crazy, right? Pretty bad when you can make Facebook look good.
What’s really cool about the whole thing, is that Google admitted it knew about all of it in March of 2018. But it chose not to disclose it because of the fall out Facebook was going through. They didn’t want to be in the same boat. And, there they are. Sinking their boat 7 months later.
I encourage you to read the full article and several surrounding it. It’s your job to know what’s going on with sites that run the world essentially, misusing our trust and leaving us vulnerable to identity attacks, political gain, and so much more.
Related Articles:
What does it affect?
Not much in our terms of Direct Sales.
Here’s a graphic that shows some of the things affected and not affected when your Google+ account is shut down. And here’s a link to downgrade your account if you’d like.

Instagram Scheduler and Hashtag Generator Called Later
This is the best Instagram scheduler I’ve found.
I’ve been testing a site called Later for a couple months now. Apparently I’ve had an account for a couple years but never dove in. I have fallen in love with so many features on this site, that I paid an annual plan. I get ZERO kickbacks from this company, I just want to give you an honest review of a tool I love.
Here’s the features I love:
Auto Posting:
I need something reliable and easy to use. And I need something that posts for me. I schedule and BAM! It posts for me. Auto posting at it’s finest.
It’s Free:
Yeah. Need I say more? It’s free to post 1 post per day to Instagram (or any social media platform you choose).
Don’t forget to join our free Facebook community for more tips and tricks, CLICK HERE!
Hashtag Generator:
The hashtag generator is what sold me 200%. I bought in to the annual fee of $190 per year because I wanted the daggone hashtag generator. Was it worth it? Every last penny. I spend a lot of time creating my Instagram posts. And it won’t do me a bit of good without some great hashtags. Time=money. And the amount of time it took me to research my 30 hashtags was INSANE. So this feature alone…is my favorite by far. But it’s on the paid spectrum. And again, worth every penny.
Analytics:
I love seeing the analytics. I love how it’s broken down. I can view all my posts, see which ones are working, which isn’t. I can quickly see the style, the thought behind the post, the feel of it. And then see what’s working. You can see these for free on Instagram, but not anywhere near to the extent you can on Later’s analytics.
Emojis:
I love the emoji search bar and being able to have that right there when I’m doing my Instagram post. It just makes me smile.
Hashtag Counter:
Again, I have nightmares of counting hashtags LOL! When I get in Instagram mode, I start scheduling and don’t stop. Having that hashtag counter is a time and sanity saver.
I made a video to show you exactly how to post and show you all the features I love above. You can also watch that here on YouTube:
