Gelli de Bellen portrays a single mom and online ‘raketera’ in the KathNiel series “<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/2good2betrue">2 Good 2 Be True</a>.” Learning from her character Margie Fajardo, the seasoned actress shared tips on how to become an effective online seller in this episode of Kapamilya Chat.Gelli knows live selling is no easy job. Although she’s not a digital entrepreneur, she’s aware of the disadvantages of social media and work-from-home setup, one of which is inconsistent schedule. “It’s not a nine-to-five job. It’s actually more stressful kasi 24/7 people can access you. Pwede ka sumagot sa chat, ang daming medium. Nakakalito siya… The line between privacy and work is very thin,” she said.As a celebrity, Gelli struggles with the demands and toxicity of social media and she could just imagine how much more ordinary online sellers go through. Hence, her advice, “Maliban sa persistence and all, kailangan you are mentally and emotionally capable of handling that as well.”But once you get the hang of it, you’d see more of the cons of online and work-from-home job, “Hindi ka kailangan umalis ng bahay para kumita ng pera. May mga paraan para talaga na uubra na nasa bahay ka, maaalagaan mo ang pamilya mo, at the same time you also earn.”If you’re ready to venture into online and live selling, Gelli’s first advice is to know your product, then know your audience and target market. Demonstrating effective sales strategy with a pen as sample item, Gelli said seller must explain the uses of the pen depending on who he/she is talking to. For example, highlight the use of a pen for schoolwork when talking to a student; to a mother, for jotting down recipes; to a businessman, how the pen helps complete his work for the day. “You just need to know what your product and who you’re talking to para alam mo kung paano ibebenta,” she explained.Besides the skills, Gelli believes a live seller must also have strong fighting spirit, “Siguro lakas ng loob, persistence, and really the drive to go for your goal. And you have to own it, claim it. If you really want it, kaya naman, eh. Kasi gagawa at gagawa ka ng paraan.”But don’t expect an overnight success. “Lahat naman tayo maraming pinagdadaanan na paghihirap at pagsubok pero kung magpapatinag tayo sa challenges ay wala naman talaga tayong ma-a-achieve sa buhay,” said Gelli.At the end of the day, success boils down to having the right attitude and mindset, “Persistence is key. Sipag at tiyaga dahil kapag may tiyaga, may nilaga.”Listen to Gelli’s useful tips and advice about live and online selling in this episode of Kapamilya Chat!
