In this sponsored episode, Robin Lee Baltin shares her inspiring story of how Avon helped her overcome addiction and chronic pain, and achieve success as an executive unit leader. But just as she reaches for the ultimate goal, a new challenge arises. Will she be able to overcome it and continue on the path to success? Find out in this episode of Badass Direct Sales Mastery.

About Robin Lee Baltin:

Robin Lee Baltin had a successful sales career that came to a grinding halt after a car accident. She was diagnosed with post-traumatic fibromyalgia and became addicted to painkillers. She lost everything: her friends, boyfriend, home, car, and even herself. She was homeless, helpless, and hopeless. 

She believes that addiction is more about twisting up the thinking in the mind than always needing more. She was clean for 4 years, but still couldn’t hold down a regular job, mostly due to the fibromyalgia. When a friend happened to have an Avon brochure, she spoke to the representative who said that she thought Robin might make a good representative. With this, Robin came over for coffee, and fast forward to today, she supports her husband, who recently returned to work after not being able to for two years, and three cats with Avon.

About Steve Werner: Founder of Reaching Millions,  Steve has gone from failing at holding live events to holding over 41 live events for himself and 47 for his clients over the last 10 years. He has spoken on more than 200 stages (including Harvard) and built and critiqued over 370 one-to-many sales presentations. During covid, he pivoted to helping 41 coaches and online entrepreneurs launch webinars during covid with more than 8.9m in sales in the last 18 months.

In this episode, Jennie and Steve discuss:

• Becoming a great storyteller
• How to tell your story
• Having confidence in what you do
• Branding yourself

Key Takeaways:

• People lean into stories, not information. Being a great storyteller allows you to convince someone your solution will work for them and solve their biggest problem.
• Positioning is incredibly important in telling your story. You should always put all of the facts out there until the very end, and whenever you want to grab someone’s attention, describe something with three of the five senses.
• You should have confidence in what you’re doing, and you should be proud that you’re in an MLM. You’ve done two things for yourself right out of the gate: you’ve created a better tax structure for yourself even if you aren’t massively profitable in your first year, and you’re dedicated to creating your brand and business, which will change your life the moment you own it. 
• Brand yourself. People will associate with you.

“You might think you might have the most boring story in the world. But the key to telling you that story is telling the details to you.”  – Steve Werner

About Joanna Bloor: Joanna Bloor is a potentialist who has transformed thousands of lives worldwide. A former Silicon Valley executive, TED speaker, and trusted advisor to leaders worldwide, she’s been described as a “glittering buzzsaw that cuts through all the workplace BS.” Instead of platitudes and possibilities, Joanna rolls up her sleeves and jumps in with future-focused leadership to create experiences that bring their teams into the future.

Joanna’s upcoming book, Tales of Potential: The Cinderella Story You Haven’t Heard, flips the script on a famous and underestimated fairy tale ingenue to reveal real-life success lessons hidden in plain sight. It makes us wonder if we’ve got the wrong idea about Cinderella; maybe we have the wrong idea about each other too. The reframed story has much to teach modern professionals about the true nature of ambition, courage, risk-taking, generosity, and the key actions to take if you want to manifest your most sparkling future self.

In this episode, Jennie and Joanna discuss:

• Making people recognize your potential 
• Tales of leadership and potential
• The intersection of ambition, leadership, and potential
• The power of asking

Key Takeaways:

• Step into the other person’s shoes and ask what’s in it for them and how you can help them see how to ask for you. The potential is infinitely easier to recognize when it looks and sounds like you infinitely.
• Take opportunities to a whole new level just like what Cinderella did. If you have any dreams that you want to have come true, you have to figure out how to make your potential easy to recognize and remember.
• Ambitions are as unique as a pendant fingerprint. When you are curious and don’t assume what someone’s ambitions are, they will tell you all kinds of things, and helping someone to think through what they want for their future without judgment or assumption is one of the most empowering conversations you can have.
• To succeed in direct sales, you have to ask people, especially your team what they want. Growing a team and leading the team to achieve their goals is the fastest way to succeed.

“If you have an ambition, how do you make it easy for the people who can say yes to your ambition to say yes? Everybody makes a decision in a room that you’re not in about whether they’re going to say yes to the future you or not.” – Joanna Bloor

About Frank Agin: Frank Agin is president of AmSpirit Business Connections, which empowers entrepreneurs, sales representatives, and professionals to become successful through networking.

He also hosts the weekly Networking Rx podcast, which provides insights and advice for becoming more successful through networking as well as hosts the daily micro podcast Networking Rx Minute, which provides short messages of inspiration and recommended action.

Finally, Frank has written numerous articles on professional networking and is the author of several books, including Foundational Networking: Building Know, Like, and Trust to Create a Lifetime of Extraordinary Success.

In this episode, Jennie and Frank discuss:

• How to choose a networking group
• Tips for new networkers 
• The power of volunteering
• The key to successful networking is giving.

Key Takeaways:

• Whether you do BNI or not, just find a networking group that works for you. Talk to the people there in the group and get a sense that they’re getting to know you, and you should do the same.
• Find ways to add value to other people, and don’t have these preconceived notions about who people are and what they’re going to do.
• Find what you’re passionate about to get out into your community and volunteer – you’ll meet people who care about the same thing as you do, and they’ll learn about you.
• The key to successful networking is that giving mentality. What you do, and what you get out of this world is tied to what you give, and a lot of great things come from just helping other people.

“The most valuable, least expensive thing we have to give in our network is our network itself to start making introductions of people.” – Frank Agin

About Allison Hatcher: Allison is at the level of Lapis Executive with Nuskin. The great benefit of being in direct sales in MLM has been that Nuskin brought her to personal development, and she has a passion for both businesses. She’s a survivor of domestic violence, and this MLM helped her start her new life. 

In this episode, Jennie and Allison discuss:

• The 80/20 rule in MLM
• How to effectively recruit someone
• Meeting people where they are
• The secret to direct sales success

Key Takeaways:

• You should use 80% of your feed for your lifestyle and 20% for your business – don’t overdo it, people hate seeing your products all over their feeds. Just keep showing up, keep focusing on the process, and divorce the results.
• Throughout the process of leveling up, remember you can’t walk the business for the new recruit more than they want it for themselves. Start focusing on those who are showing up and taking action.
• People will respond better if you meet them where they are and don’t bombard them with the next steps to take.
• Knowledge is needed to overcome waiting. When a customer tells you no, you need to know what the reason for their no is. A no is not a no forever, it is just a no for right now. You have to be consistent, know your market and your product, and you have to show up, because nobody else will for you.

“Flip the script to however it suits your needs, or if you saw a post that they like, connect, connect, connect. Because if you don’t connect on a personal level, and build rapport, build a relationship, as soon as you try to connect on a business level and share your product, they are going to disconnect.” – Allison Hatcher
