To start your own independent business, you do not require any specific education, qualifications, work experience, physical attributes or age limits. All that is needed is the will to succeed and an enterprising spirit. The basic requirement of owning a telephone, TV and an internet connection is the prime necessity in order to communicate with your customers from home.
Skills required if You Are Working Independently:
If you are working on your own without the help of a franchisor like ITV Ventures, you would have to undertake the entire task of setting up the business from the scratch. The first skill that would be required would be to learn to create an html web page. This is the most important step as it forms the base from where you would be launching your product and company image. This step can be eliminated if you join ITV Ventures as they provide you with the web page and have already created a positive name for themselves in the field.
The next skill you would require is that of writing, persuasion and communicating effectively. Should this be one of your weaknesses, there are a few options for improving these skills. You could take an online course or a course through your local community college. Another option is to read a few self-help books in these areas. With ITV Ventures, your website is created for you and there is proven scripting available for you to communicate effectively with your callers.
To help increase traffic to your website, another skill for you to have is online marketing. This could be one of the most difficult tasks as there are a number of competitors on the internet who find various innovative and creative ways of keeping their websites more attractive than others. The periods spent in learning this skill can take you away from concentrating on your sales and customer service. The advantage of joining ITV Ventures is that they do all this for you with some initial start up fees.
Skills Required to be an IBO with ITV Ventures:
In working with ITV Ventures the initial tasks of marketing and promoting the product is already completed. This gives you a ready platform to launch your products. The skills you would need to concentrate on are your sales and customer service skills. ITV Ventures will take care of the advertising and marketing.
ITV Ventures also provides you with traffic leads and interested clients. Instead of spending money on advertising and promotions (which could lead to thousands of dollars), your money will be spent on these leads. Those customers who are interested in the product from the infomercial aired will be directed to YOUR HOME PHONE NUMBER. All you have to concentrate on is closing the sale. Since people who are not interested do not call, you save time and effort and do not have to deal with convincing customers who are not interested in the product.
To improve your skills in closing a sale you can manage your daily activities as follows:
- Create a professional office atmosphere to focus on your daily tasks and limit distractions.
- Write down deadlines on a calendar and keep this within view. Start your day by looking at your calendar to get an idea of the tasks you need to accomplish.
- Use color codes on the calendar such as red for high priority tasks and blue for accomplished tasks. This can increase your work efficiency.
- Keep a reward system to keep yourself motivated to achieve success.
