Eric Auyong is no stranger to selling.  For years, he has traded stocks on the market, and sold for companies such as Nextel.  He was operating very successfully from San Francisco when his life changed.  “I just got married.  My wife was in Dallas.  So it was easier for me to come to Dallas than for her to move,” Eric says.  “So when I came to Dallas, I transferred with this company.”

When Eric moved, however, he found that there wasn’t as much business for him in Dallas as there was in California.  “I had an established clientele there,” Eric explains.  After moving to Dallas, he realized that he had to completely re-establish his sales network.  “I just could not get into the sales.  You know, the referrals, the niche,” Eric says, “start over from scratch, basically.”

When Eric got an invitation to StoresOnline’s 90-minute preview presentation, he felt that an internet business would be the perfect thing to supplement his income while he grew his sales network again.  “I was thinking about an online business,” Eric says.  “I really didn’t want to do it on my own, because I didn’t know everything.”

After attending the all day workshop, Eric purchased six website licenses and the optional internet coaching program.   “The Internet is an endless market,” Eric says, “and all I wanted was a small percentage of the large number.”  The StoresOnline program met his expectations.  “They had everything packaged very well, and they had everything organized for a beginning website,” he says. 

When he first purchased his site licenses, Eric had some ideas of what he would like to sell.  But after consulting with his financial coach, he revised his ideas and tried a new product. Despite his lack of experience online, Eric dived in.  “I did the entire website on my own, which I’d never done,” he says. He attributes this to his experience with StoresOnline’s customer service department.  “I’ve had two years with customer service now, and I haven’t got a bad word to say about any of them.”

Eric fought procrastination to get his site up and running.  “You buy something, and then you get scared, and then you kind of think of ways not to do it,” he explains.  But with the help from his financial coach, he gained the confidence he needed to finish up with the site, a process that took about a month of full-time work. “The coaching, for me, was the key to my success.”

Eric found his product through a conversation with a friend who owned a plumbing supply store.  “He gave me a couple of products that are high volume, high profit,” Eric says.  “My product is radiating heat for tiled floors.”  Eric began by contacting manufacturers, but in the end one of the manufacturers approached him about running a website for their product.  “I have the only online store for one of the manufacturers,” Eric says. 

While Eric doesn’t make many sales in a week, his radiant floors have a high ticket price, and he averages three sales in a week. 

While Eric still relies mostly on his stock portfolio for his income, he understands the importance of his StoresOnline site.  “The stock market does fluctuate,” he says.  “I had to get something a little more stable, and I realized that.  And I needed more than one source of income.  So that’s why I went with Stores Online and began an online store.

Best of all, the income from Eric’s StoresOnline site has helped him better his financial situation.  “Before I start StoresOnline, I was in debt.  I mean, I probably had a FICA score of less than 500.  I didn’t even own a car.”  The supplemental income from StoresOnline let him escape that problem for good.  “It’s made me debt free.  I don’t owe anything.”
