How to be a mobile Consultant?

Luisa analyzed her area and realized that working from home was not going to be the most effective way to run her business, so she decided to take another approach. She knew that to be successful, she would have to work hard, meaning she couldn’t just sit back and wait for clients to come to her. So what did he do? He became a mobile consultant. How did it start? Luisa told us: “I was struggling with just working from home so I looked at my options. I looked at 40 cities around me and Boca del Río and noticed that each city was very far from mine, how long it would take for people to get to me, the population of each city and how many Consultants they had. With that information, I can make my selection and I decided to start selling in Boca and also to stop selling from home and instead offer visits, that is, be a consultant mobile.” What you need to know This was the best decision that Luisa could make regarding her business, which began to grow exponentially. However, being a mobile Consultant takes time, dedication and excellent planning of time and resources. You have to know how to keep a diary, try to group clients in the same area to avoid long trips for just one person and you have to have a good navigation system or know well the areas where you will operate. You have to take care of your times, that is, take the time to know how long each trip will take and also take into account that unforeseen events may happen, such as traffic or traffic accidents. Of course, at some point there will be problems that cannot be prevented, and it will be at those times when you will have to notify your clients to explain the situation and be aware of when you plan. You want to be with them. Luisa does not make additional charges to the people she visits but her clients have accepted terms and conditions. She told us, “You have to be very organized when you’re offering a mobile service. I give all my customers a list of products and let them choose them in advance, that’s never been a problem for me. That means I can prepare orders during the day and pack them early in my car. Of course, I always bring extra products just in case. I also carry a bag that has one thing of each product, because you never know when you’ll meet someone (a customer’s friend or family member, for example) who wants to try and also you have to be prepared for them.” What happens with the money? We asked Luisa how she handles collections with her clients: “I invested in a card terminal. Unfortunately, I once had a horrible experience where I was bringing a lot of cash and a person approached me, but I managed to scream and the person ran. But I realized that I could have lost all my profits and that I was putting myself at risk. So I try to have as little cash as possible. I would recommend the same to anyone who is thinking about becoming a mobile consultant. You have to minimize the risks when you are out. Also make sure you are drive carefully and that your car insurance has coverage for you and your business. Tell people where you are going and when you plan to return. I am always in contact with my husband, particularly on my afternoon appointments and I always make sure I have my cell phone with battery. I am not trying to scare anyone, but it is better to be safe when you are on the move. Conclusion “I love being a mobile Consultant. It gives me the freedom d to have my home far from my work. That means my family has no contact with customers. And most importantly, it has given me the opportunity to expand my business. If I had stayed at home waiting for the calls to come in, I wouldn’t be where I am now. My business as it is has given my family and I the opportunity to fulfill a dream: we recently bought a house that we are remodeling to become our home. “We wouldn’t have been able to do that without the extra income we got from Cambridge.” Luisa believes that anyone who wants to be a consultant can do so if they want to and if they are willing to work hard to improve their business. She told us: “To have a successful business, you need to have the right attitude. In the training, we learned about the importance of personality - and how much the right attitude helps clients. If Consultants give clients what they need, the way they need it, they will be successful. And what Consultants want is for their patients to be successful.”
