1. Full Calendar: Decide at the beginning of each month how many socials you will do that month. Make it your goal to get that many socials booked ASAP. The first booking should be your own! Hosting a social a month yourself is a great way to ensure sales and generate interest about South Hill Designs. Plus, you are showing your friends how easy it is to host a social. Don't go crazy! Some cheese and crackers and lemonade will suffice for snacks! If you want to go all out, go for it! But it really isn't necessary. You can also have a craft or scrap-booking activity going on. Or cookie decorating if kids are coming! This makes it fun and shows your guests that you aren't all about selling them stuff.
2. Share the Opportunity: You should share the business opportunity with as many people as possible. You don't have to be pushy. Just by telling your friends about your business, how much fun you're having, how much commission you're making will spark some interest. Let people know about the Opportunity Calls from Corp. You can make money just selling lockets, but your income will increase a great deal if you start to build a team. I made postcards through Vista Print with joining info on them. I keep them in my purse and hand them out wherever I go. I got 100 for around $10 with a coupon. They have deals ALL the time-- just set up a free account with them and you will receive their coupons via email. I like the postcards better than the brochures because they display so many different ideas for beautiful lockets. This makes it very clear to a potential team member exactly what we do!

3. Wear your locket: This should be #1!!! You should wear your locket wherever you go! People WILL ask you about it! You get to advertise your product all the time! People who sell candles or body wraps can't do that-- we are at an advantage in the jewelry business!
4. Be patient: Growing your business is going to take time. It's not going to happen overnight or without some effort on your part. You will get out what you put in! Set aside some time every day to focus on your SHD business. Return emails or make contact with people who might be interested in hosting a social. (Offering a free gift for booking helps!) Plan your monthly social. Post on your FB business page. Call your last hostess and her guests and thank them for attending. Ask if they need anything else.
You are part of an amazing experience with South Hill Designs! It may not seem like it yet, but imagine where you will be in a year if you keep growing this ground floor opportunity! Imagine how many team members you will have! Use positive talk and tell yourself you are a success and YOU WILL BE!!!
Thank you for all your hard work! Never hesitate to reach out for help or support! We are in this together.
