South Hill Designs Charming Chatter

July 26th, 2013

Thought of the Week: Optimism

"Count your Rainbows, not your Thunderstorms"

For the first time in 3 months, we saw beautiful rain here in AZ, which partially inspired this weeks' quote! We love how rain washes away the dirt, and nourishes the earth. Take time to jump in the puddles once in a while, dance in the rain, and go searching for the pot of gold. Enjoy the extraordinary events of an ordinary day.

Tip from the Top: Summer Sizzles from National Director, Lisa Chelius!

Summer Sizzles with South Hill Designs! Looking for socials, sales, sponsors? Summer is a great time to flex your creative muscle! With all of the awesome specials that corporate has introduced along with the announcements of going into pre-launch in Canada, we have lots to be excited about! Work your business this summer and momentum will take over this Fall!

Share! Share the business opportunity with everyone! Be sure to wear your locket(s) everywhere and bring along literature everywhere you go! Strike up conversations and be sure to ask for referrals!

Theme Socials! Offer easy, fast, fun theme parties on the go! Summer can be challenging, however everyone can picture their friends having summer fun with South Hill Designs!

Shows on the Go! Bring your jewelry everywhere! Be spontaneous and host an office party over lunch or right after work. Driving by a nice salon? Do a U-turn, go in, and share! You can even call your local salons and ask them if they would like to partner with you for a fundraiser.

Host Your Own Social! Be spontaneous and invite 5 friends over for some snacks and fun or host a social on the 3rd Thursday of every month! It may start out slow, but by the holidays, the news will spread and everyone will be coming and inviting their friends! Create a different theme each month and be sure that your friends are letting everyone know!

Book Vendor Events and Fundraisers! We are so blessed that we can sell at events! Events are everywhere and they produce sales, socials and sponsors! This is such a great way to grow your business, especially in the dog days of Summer.

Create Online Socials! We have tools in place that will assist you in hosting online socials! Be sure to watch the Facebook Event and Social Dashboard webinars in your back office and host an online social! Remember, always offer online events for all of your live socials and watch your sales, host rewards and paycheck grow! Remember, when having an online social, we have an incredible opportunity to share the benefit of both hosting your own social or joining SHD as an Artist! Be sure to always follow up your event by thanking everyone that attended and invite them to contact you with any questions about hosting or joining SHD!

Most important, have fun and enjoy the journey!

Hints & Tips for Your Business:

*When you are at your Socials, be sure to let the guests know that you are looking for more Artists in their area and that you are able to set up interviews. Invite them to refer any friends and family who may need another job or something fun in their life. Be sure to SHARE YOUR SHD STORY! Your story may touch someone that normally wouldn't consider Direct sales.

*Always set up your display close to the food and beverages! It is where everyone gathers, so you don't want to be in a separate room all by yourself.

 *Bring pictures of Locket ideas in a photo book to your Socials and events so your guests can get their creative juices flowing! The ideas will help those who need help with creating a locket for themselves and their loved ones.

Go book those Socials!!!

South Hill Designs National Conference

It's coming up!  Did you get your invitation?  Here's the link: SHD Conference

It will be held in Phoenix on September 20-21.  Even if right now you're thinking it's not doable, please keep it in mind.  You can always decide later to go!  It will be a great opportunity to meet everyone in person, learn about the company, and get super motivated!  If you can't go, I will post updates from the conference so you can be "virtually there", how's that?  :)

Does anyone have any socials, online socials,  or vendor events coming up?  Post your news in the comments section! 

A few ideas I want to share with you:

1.  It's a good idea to get yourself a planner just for SHD to keep track of your events.  I got one at Target with the gray chevron print SHD uses for 7.99.

NEVER show a potential hostess an empty calendar!  Successful people are busy people, so keep your calendar full and offer one or two dates for booking a social.  Never say "I'm free all week!"  for example.  Instead say, "I have the 17th and the 14th open."  (Say the sooner date last and they will almost always select the sooner date!) 

2.  Sometimes people don't book socials because they do not want to go to the trouble of getting food and stuff for their party.  When someone books a social at one of my socials I always offer them my "Party in a Bag!"

Inside there is a box of brownie mix and some packets of drink mix.  Just add water!  :)  Not everyone wants the party in a bag, but it's a no-excuse option for some!

Please share if you have any other little gems we can use to build success!

I hope you have a great week!  

Rockin' South Hill Designs!

Welcome to the Team Flutterly Charming blog!  This will be a way we can all communicate with one another since not everyone uses social media.  If you sign up a new member, please email them the link and ask them to follow the blog, too. 

Our team is getting started and has hit the ground running!  Thank you so much for your hard work-- I hope you are having fun with your new business!  I have been with SHD since March and I am amazed each month by the growth I see all around me!  This company is growing so fast-- it's so exciting to be part of it and to look down the road a year or two and imagine where we will all be!!!  (Hopefully on a beach in Fiji with a pina colada!)

You are more than welcome to use this blog as a way to ask questions and share information.  I will make every effort to keep it up to date with the important messages from Corp.  Let's start by leaving a short comment and just introduce yourself, where you're from, and one goal you have for your new business. 

I am also working on a cute blog design-- because let's face it, it needs to be cute.  :)

I am so, so glad to have you as part of my SHD family!

Love,
Kristen
