Spooky Notes for October!

Can you believe October is upon us?  September was a GREAT month!  Our Team sales were good and Conference was AMAZING!!!  I know next year will be even more incredible with many more artists attending!  Seriously, if you can set aside about $50 of your commission every month it will cover your Conference registration and flight.  Keep it in your Payquicker account and pretend it's not there!  Plus, you can write off those expenses on your taxes, so going to Conference is win-win!  DO IT!!!!!  I got SO much out of it.  It was more than a new product release.  It was a learning experience.  It was a soul-searching experience.  I came away understanding myself and the business and company so much more.  So really, make up your mind to go next year and go!  (Stepping off soap box now...)

Ok, October!~  Basically, there are 2 months until Christmas and less until Hanukkah!  That is a MAJOR selling point right now with both customers and potential recruits!  When you talk to people about SHD or post about joining your team, be sure and mention the approaching holidays and the potential for extra cash flow when they join.  Also, share the new products with enthusiasm!  I have a strong feeling our sales are going to be through the roof these next 10 weeks!!!

So, for our Team Incentive for October, anyone on my team with sales this month of $1000 or more will receive the new locket bracelet when it is released!

Also, don't forget about the Incentive Trip to Las Vegas!  Here is the document if you don't have it yet!  It would be so much fun to meet up there!!!

Fall Into Fun!

Wow!  September is flying by so fast!  I don't know about you, but it has been a crazy-busy month for me with school starting.  Of course for me my kids being back in school does not exactly free me up since I am a teacher.  <sigh>  BUT my business is still a major priority so I wanted to remind everyone of our September Hostess Special!

For my personal socials this month and next I am going to use the theme "Fall Into Fun"!  I am thinking of serving apple cider and spice muffins.  It's a good time to remind people that the holidays are approaching and now is the time to order their lockets for gifts!  You can even offer a free Christmas tree charm with a $50 purchase or something to that effect.  Or "buy 4 charms, get the 5th charm free".  These are great strategies for increasing your sales.  They cost you around $4 but gain you much more than that in commission from locket purchases.  

It is also a great time of year to recruit new team members, letting them know they can increase their income/holiday spending money by starting their business now!  It can take a little time to get a team started, so be patient and share your business as often as possible.

I am attending the South Hill Designs Conference in Phoenix later this week!  I am so excited to meet everyone in person and see the wonderful surprises the company has in store for us!  For those who cannot attend, I promise to keep you updated about the new products and announcements!  Again, next year let's ALL meet there!!!  (Wherever it may be!)

I hope everyone is having a great month!  Keep up the amazing work and book those Fall socials!!

Everyone on my team who enters a $300 social or more between 9/14/13 and 9/30/13 will be entered in a drawing to win a special surprise!!!

Let's Take September!

Woohoo!!!  Happy September!  Summer is officially behind us (sniff, sniff) and Fall is right around the bend!  That means the holidays are getting close and business will be BOOMING!  This is a great month to start reminding your friends and family that they can get a head-start on their holiday shopping.  It is also a great time to get in on vendor events.  Check your local publications, call your Chamber of Commerce, local churches, schools, etc. to find out about holiday boutiques where you might be able to host a booth.  Don't forget to schedule  your own social this month, too!

Need some guidance or direction?  Schedule a coaching call with me!  Send me a message and we will get one scheduled-- I am here to help you with whatever is on your mind.

Ready to build a team?  Think of five people you want to share with and call them up!  Let them know you are building a team and you thought of them!  Share the Opportunity Brochure with them over a cup of coffee or on a play date at the park with your kids.  When someone mentions they like your locket when you're out shopping, let them know you help people build their own business selling these (rather than just saying "I sell these.")  Always have your business card ready to hand out!

If you have a Facebook business page, be sure and post at least once a day.  This will keep your reach count up.  Post a locket photo, a pleasant quote, or ask a question to engage your fans.  It doesn't always have to be about lockets-- let people see you are a real person!  Always keep it uplifting and positive! 

SEPTEMBER INCENTIVE:

Anyone on my team having $1000 in sales this month will receive this shirt in your size:
