As much as we go deep into technological advancements and science, there’s one thing as humans that we cannot do without, emotions and human relations! The direct selling industry revolves around relationships from time immemorial. It is their working process where they meet face-to-face and build the business. Nothing much has changed today, even after so many years except that, every building relationship and maintaining them has become virtual. Nowadays, direct selling organizations are monitoring their social selling strategies for engaging their distributors.
Social Commerce - Building a warm relationship with your customers which will last a lifetime. Unlike traditional in-person selling, this brings the brand closer to people.
Fresher Strategies - Fresher ideas and perspectives are important to maintain existing customers and build new ones. This will help improve the brand image and keep its customers actively engaged.
Video Content - Videos can be more engaging and informative to create a deeper understanding of the content that is conveyed.

Customer Support - It is a double-edged sword that needs to be handled with care. Good or bad, every customer’s query and comments should be attended to with suitable solutions.
Personalization - Personalizing your services based on your customer’s preferences through targeted campaigns, chatbots, videos, quizzes, etc would be beneficial to keep your customers closer to you.
