Home Business – Emergency Plans

When it comes to having a home based Direct Sales Business, there will be times that emergencies can affect your business schedule. Do you have a back-up plan in place? If not, why not? In my personal opinion, you should!

I have an emergency plan in place in case of a personal emergency. I have a local consultant who is with the same company as myself (my downline of course) who will go out and do parties for me if an emergency should arise. I do the same for her.

She gets to keep the sales from the party but I get the party bookings or we split them…we both work well together so nothing has ever been an issue between us.

I believe it is important to have an emergency plan and a back-up consultant just incase something happens and you can’t make the party or event. If you just cancel and try to reschedule, you could irritate your party host and in turn, lose business…so it’s better to have a back-up plan in place with a fellow consultant who you work well with.

So, if you don’t have a plan in place, make it a goal in 2010 to draft one up. You never know when you might need to use it.
