Going Mobile: The Next Productivity Breakthrough Tool

From http://www.dsa.org

Mobile phones have dramatically changed the way people communicate and the next major productivity breakthrough in the direct selling industry will be extending critical functions and convenient data to those mobile devices already carried by independent business owners and consultants doing business on-the-go.

Enabling these individuals with a low-cost and highly usable mobile application for order entry, payment, PV/BV status, enrolling new recruits, etc., will help them not only sell more, sell faster and reduce hassles and errors, but improve their overall direct selling experience.

For direct selling corporations – whether network marketing or party-plan, domestic or international – the positive impact of “going mobile” will be felt across virtually every aspect of their businesses, including improved sales; receiving the product faster from a more efficient order entry; a better initial experience; more recurring orders; improved logistics and support; reduced call center costs; and improved retention and recruiting.

Your company will have happier, more motivated consultants who will be better trained and have improved marketing skills. Direct selling companies who capitalize on this trend will reap significant advantages with increased sales, retention and profits.

Previously, it has been far too complex and unaffordable for direct selling companies to go mobile, but ROAM Data is now serving this industry by delivering a highly usable and affordable mobile solution that works on distributors' own mobile phones as a subscribed service, similar to mobile e-mail.
